America has done a great job encouraging #############.
It's also minor league ball, so a little bit of showmanship always helps up the entertainment value...
I sure hope the new baseball channel overruns us with .. "Minor league ball". I think that would be awesome. I think I would quit going to work.
I liked the bow!
Wellman put on a show. He was a beloved manager IN Chattanooga for numerous years recently. His "performances" have always been the stuff of legend. One time when he a 3rd base ump called a runner out at 3rd base Wellman "recreated" the play twice (with the slide) to see if the ump would change his mind ala instant replay. I don't know him personally but he really is loved by the fans in Chattanooga.
Sadly this time I think it backfired on him a bit. Same game two innings later his pitcher Villa is found with "something" in his hat and something on the ball. After a lengthy discussion Villa gets ejected, then promptly goes throws the ball over the left field wall. Joey Devine, who's not even in the game, decides its a good idea to show up umpires too (the established big leaguer that he is) and comes out of the dugout to tell the umps what he thinks of them and gets thrown out. One of their middle infielders Rozema keeps chirping and gets run too. Honestly about 2 or 3 more Braves could have gotten thrown out, and Wellman's little show probably was not a great example of acceptable behavior for the rest of the "little Braves."
I wouldn't be surprised if the Braves' brass comes down on him for this, especially for how his team acted later in the game. It's certainly not "the Braves way".
There is nothing left to see.
