bawfuls posted:He didn’t even look at the pitcher while celebrating and rounding the bases on that home run. This is MadBum-levels of red-assery for a pitcher to hold a grudge and start poo poo about. I don't care if he does a Joey Bats level batflip and runs backwards around the bases, throw better pitches e: granted I tend to give hitters a lot more leeway on that stuff. but hell, I don't mind the Rodney arrow celebration. no need to approach a guy and yell at him because that's always going to lead to the dugouts clearing out though

Yeah but you see that stuff all the time in the NBA and NFL and no one blinks an eye at all. Again, as long as it's not getting physical it just doesn't seem like a big deal. It's childish I guess but whatever - if anything you'd think Mariner fans would love it because clearly their young superstar is getting under the skin of their hated rival.

It's way easier for a pitcher to strike someone out than for a batter to hit a home run. That's why it's super lame for a pitcher to go after a hitter like that versus a guy bat flipping. It's Hunter Strickland stuff.

Yeah but usually multiple offenses - they'll get warnings unless it's really blatant. But if Neris got like a game suspension or whatever (probably the equivalent to a T for a reliever) I wouldn't be upset with it.

I hope the Mariners are very angry about Neris and take it out on the Rangers tomorrow through Sunday. Of course, for this to matter, the Astros have to win a JP France vs. Zac Gallen game or a Hunter Brown vs. Anybody game, so maybe it's best the Rangers just do the needful and we accept our wildcard fate.

Look dude I get poo poo all the time IRL from Mariners fans, even with my family, for wearing Astros gear (I've gone into detail in the past, not gonna do it again). But I don't take it out on the Mariner posters here STAC. Hate the Astros, hell you'll be joining 28 other fanbase. But why take it out on people here, especially when what Intruder said was pretty mild, and honestly...a fair criticism.

Sometimes it gets to be too much for me and overwhelms the fun (especially when the teams themselves aren't a lot of fun). Sometimes I take it out on someone or lose my cool. You've all been witness to some of those times and maybe even victim. For that I'm sorry. I'm not sorry for being against the hostility.

Yeah I figured you’d understand that to an extent, being a Yankee fan. So I’d only ask that you try to have some relative perspective on this stuff. You’re better than mcmagic. Don’t be like him.

You're fine to dislike a team for whatever reason. I don't like the nastiness that grows around rivalries and counter fanbases and stuff like that. Especially when it then extends beyond the team. I don't know anything about the city of Houston and don't hold anything against its citizens. I don't think every Astros fan is any worse than any Yankees or Cardinals or Red Sox fan or whatever. I just don't like the vibe that has developed the last 5 years or so. When your enjoyment of sports becomes about someone else's suffering sports goes bad. Full disclosure, I'd like to see the Astros miss the playoffs. Part of that is petty dislike, I admit. But also a large part of it is jut not wanting to watch another Astors playoff run.

I didn't watch the game because I did actually follow through on my earlier post that watching the team was too bad for my mental health.

Jeimer Candelario is back from the IL. Jared Young hit a cool dong and immediately got sent back down to the minors. If only the Candyman could fix a broken bullpen.

But still shut the gently caress up Hector. Or at least don't go get in a guy's face for striking him out in the loving 6th inning of a regular season game, even if you're (unjustifiably) salty about something well over a year ago.

Hating is cool, I love hating. Did people want to come out of this interaction wanting to like Astros players more? Do we want to like the Mariners more? The Astros Mariners rivalry intensifying is good, it makes the games more entertaining. As long as no body is throwing at people or people are getting hurt, I don’t give a poo poo.

The Astros Mariners rivalry intensifying is good, it makes the games more entertaining. As long as no body is throwing at people or people are getting hurt, I don’t give a poo poo. Hating on the field is boring. Be excited when you do cool poo poo and make big plays, and you can be upset about failing to perform in a big spot as well, but getting mad because somebody else did their loving job and beat you is just toddler poo poo. Get over yourself, you don't always succeed. It's great when you do and it sucks when you don't but it has nothing to do with the guy on the other end's personal feelings about you. Yordan didn't crush Robbie Ray's pitch because he hated Ray, he did it because he wanted to win. Julio didn't take Hector yard last year because he didn't like him. If a player needs to go the hate route to pump themselves up psychologically to perform then fine I guess, but it still makes you look like a giant baby when you celebrate the way Neris did. Yeah it's a division game in the midst of a postseason race against a team you are specifically jockeying with for position in the standings, but unless there's some specific mutual beef they had it just makes no sense to go after him like that.
