    I say hell yes. What a douche Gomez is. I wish McCann would have just knocked his dumb ass out right before he touched home plate

    All of the Braves started talking shit first. Dude watched a towering homering. If you can't take that then you're a ****ing *****.

    Umm, no. Did you watch the replay? He started the shit, and the braves players were just telling him to shut the hell up. Do you really think the braves players started that?

    I think it would be way more ***** to allow a guy to bark his way around the bases and show your pitcher up, than to tell him to shut his damn trap. But maybe that's just me.

    McCann and the 1B both were jawing first. Even the announcers said so. Did you watch the video?

    I say no. Gomez may be a douche but he didn't do anything to warrant any of that BS. The Braves started talking shit and he responded.

    What the hell were y'all watching? Gomez started staring Maholm down before he even hit the homer? whatever, you guys either didn't play baseball or didn't see he same thing I saw. McCann didn't say shit until he got back to home plate from what I saw. But whatever

    Yea, but that doesn't change who started the shit. If he hadn't pimped the homerun and started staring and yapping, nobody would have said a word to him. Why the hell would anybody say anything to him if he just hit a homerun?

    It's part of the game man. You hit a no doubter, you walk it out. Plunk his ass next at bat. Or hit the next guy in the damn earhole. You don't block the plate cause your pitcher just got taken yard. You hit that mother ****er or his pitcher.

    Well, you asked. Your view is definitely one of a Braves fan. They were both out of line, but the Braves took it to the next level with multiple players yelling.

    He stood in the box for a couple of seconds while the ball travelled and then ran the bases. If he celebrated at all it certainly wasn't anything worse than any other hitter in the league does when they hit one out. The first thing I saw on the video was the 1st baseman talking shit. Then he started jawing back and then started up with Maholm (who was never shown on camera so I don't know what he did). Then the catcher was blocking his path and talking shit.

    I don't care if Gomez was 'staring Maholm down before he hit the home run'. Who gives a ****? Are batters not allowed to look at pitchers in MLB any more? If the Braves don't want Gomez hitting home runs maybe Maholm should stop letting the guy hit home runs off him. Otherwise they just come across as a bunch of whiny douches.

    Gomez should've lowered his shoulder and knocked that catcher's ass into next week for blocking the base path.

    Not if he is showing up your pitcher like that. But it's cool, agree to disagree. If it was just a long trot, yes, plunk him next at bat....but if he doesn't shut his mouth the whole way around the bases, you do what McCann did. I loved it. About the only exciting part of pro baseball these days.

    McCaan wasn't right for standing in his way. Jawing at him was fine but to block his path was wrong. There's history between Maholm and Gomez. Let the pitcher handle it next time he comes up. Gomez can barely speak English. If you ever listen to him talk he is struggling just to learn the culture over here. He got defensive when McCann initially started talking shit before the first pitch. I can understand both sides here. It was entertaining to watch for sure.

    If not for the fact the braves are playing very important games, I'd agree. These last 4 games are very important though.

    Gomez and Maholm have bad blood going back to 2011. There was a home run and a plunk then. Then again earlier this year. And so Gomez was swinging for the fence today and caught one to go one up on Paul, who's SECOND HBP earlier this year hit Gomez in the knee.

    Good for Gomez. That's how you retaliate. On the field with a HR.
