On the other side of the coin, I hate when players act like they got hit when they really didn't.

Blue Sox?

Shoulder pads, ankle pads, and double flapped helmets.

Those ankle pads are really helpful, I've got no beef with them. Although the elbow pad that Bonds used bothered the shit out of me.

Ok, I get it...protecting your ankle from a foul ball makes one a pussy....I don't see many shoulder pads. Is protecting an elbow bad too? What if you're a left-handed pitcher that bats right? Just man-up I guess. Switch-hitters should be required to have two helmets?

Pitchers are the exception.

The ankle pads are really helpful, I just hate watching a player take the minute it takes to take it off and hand it to the first baseball coach, who puts its on his elbow.

Helmets that fall off the running runner are annoying too. See Raul Mondesi.

I also hate when the hitters have to redo their batting gloves after every pitch.

They get loose! Give a guy a break.

I hate when home plate umpires, after a close check swing, make the decision on their own that the better went around instead asking a base umpire like they're supposed to.

[PcB]

I hate really really delayed strike calls.

[Destined]

The shift for left handed power hitters.

[Coldneck]

Super fat umpires. It should be a job requirement to be physically fit. This actually bothers me more in football and basketball.

The St Louis first base coach with the stopwatch.
