Yasiel Puig flips his bat so often that it seems more like part of his follow-through than anything worth getting riled up about. But getting riled up about stuff Yasiel Puig does is now an important part of baseball tradition, so people still seem to get pretty angry about it.

Here’s Puig flipping his bat on a homer against the Dodgers on Friday night:

And here’s the ensuing on-field discussion with Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner:

Puig smashed another homer against the Giants on Sunday, and again flipped his bat.

This time, the pitcher didn’t seem to mind. Tim Hudson’s the active Major League leader in wins and apparently up there on the leaderboard in reason as well:

Tim Hudson has a different opinion of Yasiel Puig's bat flip: "He hit the piss out of it, so I probably would've flipped it too." — Andrew Baggarly (@CSNBaggs) May 12, 2014
