I mostly agree that the batter shouldn't have showboated like that. But on the other hand, if a team is getting beat so badly that they put in a position player to pitch, then just call the game. At that point you're just wasting time. They finally did away with having to actually throw four balls to intentionally walk someone. Now they should have a mercy rule for lopsided games. Otherwise, what's a winning team supposed to do when there's a position player throwing meatballs? Just stand there and K the side over and over until the game ends? What's the point?
