Valbuena says he`ll continue to flip his bat
(MLB.com Los Angeles Angels)

Luis Valbuena said his bat flips have been a part of his game since he was a rookie, a habit generally meant to express his joy for baseball and to celebrate triumphs inside the batter`s box. `I`ve done it all my life,` Valbuena said. `It`s natural to me.` On Wednesday, Astros pitcher Mike Fiers took offense to it, and fired a ball over Valbuena`s head.
