When I was 19, I was not slamming batting helmets down after hitting in to a double play. I wasn't destroying helmets in the dugout. I didn't smash a bat in to the wall only to have the splinters injury me. I learned how to control my anger and vent in an acceptable manner at an acceptable time. Bryce has not.

Passion is fine. Letting it completely control you is not.

Congrats for being a model citizen at age 19.  You know some people don't all mature at the same rate.  The kid has never been shut down before in his life.  He never has met failure so he never been humbled by anything which probably stunted his maturity a bit.  I say by age 21 if he is still doing stupid immature crap, that is when fans can rag on him but right now just take the lumps.  Fans are already expecting him to produce at the MLB level and to ACT well above his maturity level.  I feel like most teenagers aren't in the type of situation Bryce is in.  Again, give him time to grow and if he is acts like a baby by age 21, bring him out to the woodshed and unleash hell.
