Reactions after hitting a big home run. Very revealing.

Baseball has a way of weeding out public arrogance.

I'll let you guess who has been there before and who hasn't…

Astros would never admire homeruns - derp

I'm an Astros fan but why does anyone care if guys get pumped about a HR?

One huge difference, that ended the game. There was still three innings to play after Garcia's bomb.

Not surprised a Rangers fan doesn't understand the concept of a walk off in baseball. I know you are new to this sport this year but maybe one day you will understand the game.

There y'all go again. You are new to this. See….that's the difference. F-Around and find out. Only when you are the respected can you do that. Know your place.

****ing old ass purists mad about a bat flip. Grow up. Its sports. It's fun.

Go 'Stros!

Remind us again, did Garcia's team win tonight? Instead of prematurely blowing his load he should have acted like he had been there before. He costed his team the game. But hey I guess you can raise another banner for that banger HR!!!!!!

You gonna call someone out on this thread for a "racist" post, then run back to your team's thread and post about it, only then to be proven wrong and crawfish like a yellow coward and delete it?

Know your place indeed.

Hahah. I didn't delete it. That's what mods do I guess. Glad you remembered me. I stand by my post.

---

Allow me to rephrase: I remember idiot posts, and I expect you would stand by it.

I really don't care if a guy admires his HR; he earned it.

Hell, if he hits it 450+ feet (Yordan) he should be required to stop and admire his handiwork.

Some people get their blood up over things like this.

We're from Houston but live in DFW now. We cheer for the Astros, but will root for the Rangers in the World Series if they end up winning.

My daughter came home from school today and said the teacher asked if everyone was a Rangers fan and she said, "no, we're cheering for the Astros". She said her teacher give her grief about it.

So then I explained "little brother syndrome" to my daughter.

I did not mean to imply there is an exception. I get some players are more demonstrative than others. Yordan would probably pimp a go ahead home run in the postseason but not to the extent he did for that game winner. While I prefer the been there done that approach of Tuve (because he has) I don't fault players when they celebrate. Garcia's reaction to his bomb did not hurt his team, it was his reaction to being hit that hurt his team.

Do they understand how a mirror works or do they just choose not to use them?

Same could be said about Ranger fan.

I think it's funny that the two teams that claim Nolan Ryan are the ones arguing about a hit batter after that home run taunt.

Who cares how the Rangers react to small victories in a loss?

Ho Lee Chit… I never saw this …. That's Ultimate Fighter crap right there … WOW

can anyone confirm if this is an adoloscent garcia?

Nothing wrong with admiring HRs. It's part of the game nowadays.

But also don't be a pvsy ass ***** if you're beaned. Stand in there wnsd take it lake a man.

It's OK to pimp your HR but also know it's OK for the other team to take exception.

100% agree with this stance! If someone gets upset that a hitter is excited that he hit a HR off of you, maybe you should have made a better pitch? I've heard that countless number of times from people/fans that I have played for/against as well as fans regarding those situations.

It's like, you love it when 'your' guy does it, but hate it when 'the other team's' guy does it. I was more upset that all of that commotion let the Rangers closer sit for an additional 10-15 minutes getting cold in that situation.

It is what it is though, emotions run high in sports, particularly in the playoffs and in baseball. Hard to see this while in the midst, but these are the situations that lead people to watch games like this. It absolutely brings excitement. It's like when Pressley struck out Carter to end the game, when he is yelling "This is my ****" to the Rangers dugout", I loved it - while hating it because the Rangers got beat. Hell, you perform, you get to act out. Those are the situations for what you train your entire season/life for.

You just don't show up the game's reigning dynasty the way Garcia did. It's disrespectful to baseball itself.

Dynasty? lol

Oh but the proud words that 1.5 World Series Championships and a cheating scandal can produce.

Garcia was basically the only guy who thought he was being an ******* about it. I don't think the Astros cared.

But since Garcia thought he was a showboating *******, of course he assumed he was hit on purpose.

Pro tip: no one is throwing at you to put two guys on in the 8th when they are down two runs in game 5 of the ALCS.

Umm. Yeah. 7 straight ALCS appearances. 4 pennants so far. And 2 titles. That's what you call a dynasty.
