I don’t know if you’ve noticed this or not but some MLB managers really can act like big babies when things don’t go their way. I don’t know if it’s because they’re grown men wearing uniforms that they don’t really need to wear but something is leading some managers to act really immaturely.
Last month Padres skipper Bob Melvin got all mad when the Giants kept playing baseball the right way even though they had a big lead. Melvin got upset that they were stealing bases and laying down bunts in a game that was still going on, which was a childish way to act and a dumb thing to get upset about. It’s on you and your team if you can stop the other team from beating you. It’s not on them to stop trying because they feel bad for you. You can’t be that lame, Mr. Melvin. It’s a bad look.
