i’ve never seen freddie get mad at someone like he did with gomez.
Then u don’t pay attention cause he gets upset a lot
@dereks450u mad hes better as a dodger
@@nicwaterhouse1014🤡🤡🤡
@@Wesley-zp7sy nah you're just slow
@WMOQ Sorry what? Do you even watch baseball? Freddie Freeman is one of the absolute most class-acts in the game. I'm a Phillies fan, and have nothing but respect for the guy. What are you on?
Rumor has it to this day he still hasn't stepped on home plate
Haha nice
nope
Rumor has it to this day that Braves fans are still salty about that Homer.
@@worldchronicles4818 That's true...we are! :)
@@DisappearingBoy2010 lol
Gomez was probably just counting the people in the stands.
jtp1389 Think he took a bit long for that.
***** *Insert racist joke about Spanish people not being able to count very well*
+jtp1389 Here's a racist joke..... A white guy runs into the police station and yells to the police...."SOMEONE STOLE MY CAR!!!! SOMEONE STOLE MY CAR!!!!!" The police then tell him, "Calm down sir....did you see who did it?" Then the white guy says, "No. But, I got the license plate."
I got a million of 'em.
+Jordan Montgomery no he was counting the empty seats lol
I remember this game. It was cold and rainy and on like a wednesday night
Anyone else randomly have this recommended 5 years after it was posted
Ya and I don't even watch sports
Yup!
Yeah. It's Russian hackers
Yea, on Jun 8, 19
Yup
Looks like there were more players than fans there.
It's Atlanta
ChrisDutch I noticed that, i watch a st louis game on a wednesday game on they still had 43,000 fans there
IKR.
What a fucking douche bag, Carlos Gomez.
This is an example of why he's a douche bag.
Brian McCann has a reputation too.
He's on the Yankees so fuck him even more
Sandro Bruni shut the fuck up idiot the pitcher and him have bad blood for a long time and the 2 brawls are because the pitcher started
Sandro Bruni #LetsGOYANKEES
McCann looks like the catcher on the Sandlot. "You're killing me smalls!"
Blake lmaoooooooooo
The great bambino
@Blue Skeptic truer words never spoken, friend.
THE GREAT BAMBINOOOOOOOO
On tonight's episode of "Benches Clear After Carlos Gomez...", benches clear after Carlos Gomez's homer.
😂
Im weak you should make a segment on that
+Czar so true
I'm watching the spin-off: "Benches Clear After Yordano Ventura..."
thats not a catcher getting butthurt if you think that you dont know baseball or understand it at all. This is having your pitchers back. He gets respect from his teammates for this.
I’m here after the Braves won the World Series. They’ve come a long way.
Lol
What did Carlos Gomez win?
i’m here after the phillies sent the braves home for the 2nd year in a row
@@joeelliott2810 here after the phillies regressed getting bounced a round earlier than last year
Lost in all of this is the fact that there's literally no one at that game lol.
Well, it was the top of the 1st, and I went to a Blue Jays game and didn't get there till the bottom of the 1st. Also, it's the Brewers (loljk).
You have to remember that this game was on a Wednesday. People usually have work/school the next morning, that's why weekend games are packed
There was a rain delay that lasted a few hours
***** Even the game in Baltimore today had more people.
BitFlip32 easy now
Rule 7.06b (note): The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand.
So, why wasn't McCann tossed too? He clearly violated 7.06b.
Gomez was awarded home. That's what happens when that rule is violated. Have you seem any catchers ejected this year for that rule?
RobtheTerrible No, but that's because 99.9% of catchers are douchy enough to do what McCann seems to do on a regular basis.
He should have been ejected for being a colossal douche and putting his hands on Gomes. I hate Gomez, but, sheesh, McCann laying hands on another player should have made him ejected automatically.
Cuz he white
@@texas3258 Freeman is white...he was ejected. Comment debunked...you're a douchebag.
I can watch that bat flip forever. love it.
I fucking love players who get under the skin of the other team like Gomez does.
right. im a brewers fan and loved gomez. i was so sad to see him leave.
so you'd be the type of player that's an irritant, is that right?
Getting under someone's skin and showing up the other team are two different things. Pete Rose got under the other team's skin by playing hard.
TheGodYouWishYouKnew Who cares if he shows them up? It's their fault for letting him hit a dinger.
Daniel
You don't have to show someone up because you beat them. What the hell kind of logic is that. Even the worst hitters hit home runs once in a while and even the best pitchers give them up on occasion.
The story: Earlier in the season, Maholm hit Gomez with a pitch in a game back in May. So Gomez was amped up every time he faced Maholm since. The issue isn't so much the fact he admired anything. I watched the Braves broadcast of this, and they repeatedly showed him talking shit to Maholm from the moment he stepped out of the batter's box.
AnEternalEnigma Still though, it's very rare for there to be an clearing of the benches 'cause of a homerun. It's a poor example of sportsmanship for the sport.
AnEternalEnigma Add in McCann being the jackass that he is.
Gomez hit the hr so of course the benches will clear
AnEternalEnigma Did the run count?
AnEternalEnigma It seems like Mccann does this often. He also did this with José Fernandez. He comes across as a poor loser.
that was one of the best bat flips i have seen in the last 10 years lol
Wasnt even a bat flip dude. He just let the bat go to the ground...
@@haroldfrets1268 He flipped it to the ground.
Foreigners don't know bat flip well because they don't watch kbo and only watch mlb.
And I'm from Korea.
Benches clear after Gomez sneezes
lmao
lol
Nosotros no cojemo esa es
So much anger that a zit popped and landed on first base player that's how it started.
MLB: We don't endorse fighting and bench clearing brawls. Fine em hard!
Also MLB: Hey watch these videos we have promoted about fighting and bench clearing brawls
YOU RIGHT THE COMMISSIONER.SHOULD BANNED MC CANN FOR GOOD BAD INFLUENCE FOR MAYORS LEAGUE PERIOD NO QUESTIONS ASK HIS A TROUBLE MAKE IT IN BASEBALL.ALL WAYS LOOKING FOR TROUBLE WITH EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE THE MANAGER OF THAT TEAM PLUS COACHES TOO FROM THAT TEAM.THEY IN THE SAME BOAT THEY DON'T GIVE ANY DISCIPLINE TO THOSE PLAYERS THE ONLY.THING THOSE PLAYERS DO IS GET IN TO THE FIGHT WITH ANY PLAYERS OF ANY TEAM.MC CANN IS THE ONE WHO'S START THE FIGHT.BECAUSE I WATCHING THE BRAVES PLAYING.BUNCHED TIMES BUT THE TEAM IS NO LIKE BEFORE THE FAN DON'T CARE ANY MORE ABOUT BASEBALL IN ATLANTA BECAUSE WHEN THEY GO EVERY TIME IS A FIGHT AND FAN DON'T PAY TO SEE PLAYERS FIGHTING THEY PLAY TO SEE A BASEBALL GAME SO MC CANN GOT IT GO AND PROBLABLY MANAGER AND THE REST OF THE TEAM TOO BANNED FOR GOOD CASE CLOSED STAY THIRSTY MY FRIEND
Wow! So you are a social justice warrior huh?!?
they use this revenue to pay the umps 😂
@@haroldfrets1268 LMAO THIS IS THE FUNNIEST COMMENT
It creates rivalries and interest. Certainly the quality of today’s game doesn’t.
Freeman gone, Gomez gone, but McCan still in?
It's always McCann, Maholm, Freeman and Johnson
It's always Gomez
hunter yognaut You cheer for Yasiel Puig, who's basically a better clone of Gomez. The hypocrisy is astounding. Also, it's always McCann.
DestroyerOfWorlds im a dodgers fan but i never said i like puig. where did you hear that? actually i hate puig he acts like a child
Ethan Ninness Freeman usually isn't like that.
Ethan Ninness Hhaha im so sure....did you see the first pitch of that at bat?? Gomez swung for the fences and looking like a fucking bafoon like he always does...Gomez is always known for starting shit like this with his spastic cocky attitude....McCann, Maholm, Freeman, and Johnson understand those unwritten rules. Carlos Gomez has caused more bench clearing brawls and disagreements than all four of them put together...obviously you don't watch much of what goes on in the league....never have i ever seen someone hold a grudge halfway through a season and come out swinging in the first pitch and second pitch of the game like a spastic high-schooler in a pick up home run derby. The guy is a piece of trash and you know it. Fuck him
He was so smooth dropping his bat after hitting the homerun😂
Love how you can see Reed literally pulling a teammate to get in between him and the Brewers at 3:22.
@Random Name Indeed, I think Reed just perfected the art of hold me backism right there and then.
Brian McCann looks like a bigger version of the kid with a lot of freckles from the movie The Sandlot XD
His name is Hamilton porter
All ten of the fans in attendance are going wild!
Congrats on the career Brian. He just retired today and this was always my favorite moment.
Me, too. That's why I came here to watch it again, just like you! I'll miss him, he is a class act and a great teammate. Chop On!
My favorite was the cheating scandal with the Stros'. But for real I love BMac too. Hope he didn't have much to do with that....
@Adam Decker Novody wants to get shown up. Good for McCann for sticking up for his pitcher.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew His pitcher who gave up a no doubt home run lol
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnewhis pitcher threw at Gomez head
McCann respects the game so much he won’t even let anyone step on home plate.
So he admired his own home run - big fucking deal!
I know the worse thing is that he can be more of a bitch in New York
Guess you don't know baseball. He watched it knowing this would happen. There are unwritten rules in the game, and you just don't understand or know them. That's cool. Some people are ignorant and you're one of them.
BoKnowsZombies Yea,m part of the unwritten rules is when a guy does something like this, you bean him on his next go-around. You don't start bitching at him right away. I've said it before, I'll readily admit Gomez was in the wrong, he watched that homerun for far too long. But McCann and Freeman and Johnson and Maholm made it a million times worse.
Any pitcher who tries to bean a batter should be fined heavily and tossed out of the game. If he does it again, he should be thrown out for the season. There is absolutely no excuse for a pitcher to EVER throw at a batter's head. Period.
Steven Yourke I never said hit him in the head, I said hit him.
Legend has it that they still don't know if there going to put the run on the scoreboard.
R.i.p Jose Fernandez
Gomez got his money’s worth. This is the most gangster home run trot I’ve ever seen. The way he spiked the bat, with disdain, as part of the follow through is epic.
Too bad the puss backed off the minute McCann got in his ugly face!
@@OGALivehe got aggressively pushed back and then pulled away, no one got rocked
You admit that it’s “gangster” and “done with “disdain” but then probably can’t understand why an opponent wouldn’t tolerate this
Says a lot about you.
Gomez got socked in the face and then backed away....so gangster 😂
All in the top of the first inning. Feel sorry for those fans who were late to this game and missed all the action.
Babe Ruth used to call his shots by pointing to exactly where he was going to hit his home runs! Some cheered, some booed him, but he made the game fun to watch. These rules are taking the fun out of the game. What is wrong with watching the ball fly out of the park? It's just part of the fun.
I think Babe Ruth only did it that infamous one time(don´t quote me on this one), but I believe your point still stands. Perhaps he yelled something that Brave players didn´t appreciate.
mariomasv
at the end of the video it showed that the pitcher and hitter had some kind of altercation before. who knows lol
Not an official rule.
That’s not why their mad here, this dude was talking shot around the whole base path
No he didn’t. He appeared to do it once and rumored to fulfill a promise to a kid by calling a home run, but not really. It would have been nice!!
Not even gomez's fault if you dont want them to watch it dont give up moster shots
Preach to the people in the back!
moster shots??????????
Gomez straight crushed that ball. I think McCann needs a tampon.
I've NEVER EVER seen a player hit a home run and not even make it to the home plate...
McCann & Freeman were fined & Gomez & Johnson were suspended one game & fined after this. I saw an interview where Gomez said he went to far with what he called his hyped-up homerun trot & expected the punishment he got.
Ah! The heat of the moment is what makes some really good viewing.
I really do not understand this fight? What did Gomez do wrong? All he did was hit a homerun and the Braves got all pissy faced about it.
He was being an idiot, that's what he did wrong
Estevan De La O How was he being an idiot?
ChicagoSports2K Supposedly he was breaking the "unwritten rules of conduct" for baseball players. Since I guess baseball players aren't allowed to celebrate big plays, or something. Then again, the Braves, and McCann takes things personally like this.
bigjames02 Thanks for telling me.
roid rage?
I love Gomez! One of my favorite Brewers ever!
McCann disrupts the play of the game,
and he's not tossed?
I would have done the same thing. McCann was sticking up for his pitcher. Gomez is a scumbag and always does shit like this.
krieger67333 Agreed. Also this is kind of a written rule that you dint walkout of the box
Only a fucking crybaby would get their panties in a wad for a guy watching a home run. Guys have been watching dingers for decades. Only now do I see little bitches with soft egos getting pissy about guys watching the ball leave the yard. Protecting his pitcher? From what? That's just a stupid comment. Protecting his pitcher from a guy rounding the bases? How about this? Don't throw a pitch a guy can get all of and send it yard. You throw a pitch the batter yanks, and you get angry at the batter? Unreal.
McCann did what’s right, it’s a catchers job to stand up for their pitcher. Gomez disrespected his pitcher
@@litasills293 that same pitcher hit Gomez in a previous game. Gomez didn't charge the mound. He got even at the plate.
Ugh this pisses me off. The braves start talking shit to Gomez, and after a bit he starts talking shit back. Then Mccann won't let him step on home. Poor as sportsmanship by Mccann. He deserved to be punched right then and there. After that Gomez just barely touches him and the braves bench comes out and someone get's a cheap shot on Gomez. 100% the braves fault here.
amen to that comment :)
.......not what happened UW
gotta check past history.
Gomez is a lil girl, Morticia needs to check him
You don't know baseball....First off when you hit a home run...you RUN and Keep your mouth shut. Gomez held a grudge for 3 months...hits a home run and stands there...you tell me what the Braves or any other team should do?
I don't know baseball? I just took part in and won the Babe Ruth state championships this summer. Half the players in the MLB don't run the bases right away, especially when they know the ball is a home run. I understand the Braves and Gomez talking smack, but there was no need for the fight. That was all McAnn's fault.
"I just took part in and won the Babe Ruth state championships this summer" = "I'm wet behind the ears and looking for a reason to be offended and run my mouth while playing the game."
if it was Frank Thomas he would've smashed McCann face in lol
lol THE BIG HURT
Most epic bat-flip....that was just a bat lay-down. I know it's considered "disrespectful" but that HR was hit like a BOSS. I'm sure, even in spite of the negative publicity, he considers it one of the highlights of his career. I know it would be if it were me.
LOL if the way you dropped the bat after a regular season home runs is one of the highlights of your career, your career wasn’t that good and you didn’t play on too many good teams.
Baseball needs more of this
Mccann always starts crap like this. Some players take the "unwritten rules" too seriously.
Dylan MacKinnon Did you not see him jawing the pitcher before he reached the halfway point to first then freeman stared at him?
No one said Gomez isn't an ass, just pointing out this happens all the time with McCann.
Spartan John-G172 Did you not hear McCann and the pitcher yelling at Gomez before Gomez responded back?
soulierpaul
No I saw gomez barking at the pitcher before he was half way to first.
After the pitcher, McCann, and Freemon were barking at him.
i've seen the braves cry like this a few times after they get a home run hit on them...they've been a bunch a babies since they went stale in '05
Bitches don't play for OUR Atlanta Braves..get it right..
You're right. Only bedwetters and crybabies apparently.
Freddie is a very cool, collected person and I have never seen him that angry at someone.
Some say that the home plate umpire is still to this day waiting for Gomez to touch the plate
This is hilarious
Yeah lol
@@KingjsAsmr is the l
How? This is dope! Baseball needs this emotion/showmanship/energy. More celebrations and trash talk and more players standing up for their team. All here for it
Look at Gomez hiding behind all his teammates. What a bum.
I love seeing videos of brawls with the Braves bc Terry Pendleton is always right in the middle! Love ya TP ...
Dude there's only like 1000 people at that game
lmao if that
It's the braves, and not only that, but it's the braves against millwakee. Both teams are AIDS.
+TheLegacyofWrestling Which makes it even more pathetic that they couldn't even draw any fans.
Stormie33 exactly
it was in mid September and school was in full swing, of course there's not gonna be alot of people at the games
i'd be perpetually angry too if I had to play for a team that had only 20 real fans. how the hell did this city get the Olympics? what a freaking disgrace
***** Dude shutup hahaha. Im a Phillies fan and we are the only ones in the East that can claim to have fans, the rest of you draw like shit
Frank Wible
Philly has fans.....LOL the most famous person from your crap town is from MGM!
***** Atlanta has "a LOT" of famous fans, only when they do well. and any real baseball fan knows that bandwagon fans are barely better than the scum you find in the sewers
Daniel Smith Really? so you've never heard of Kobe Bryant, maybe Wilt Chamberlin, Smokin Joe Fraizer? Bernard Hopkins.
***** You can keep your 50 "famous fans" ill take the 45,000 that continue to sell out the bank. Or the 65,000 that sell out the Linc, or even the 22,000 that sell out wells fargo. Face it we have better fans than you
lmfao. still dont know how Freeman and Gomez were tossed and McCann wasnt. dude started all of it and blocked off home to intentionally cause a fight.
I see a lot of comments talking trash about the Braves. The reality is that there is a certain etiquette involving home runs. You never stand back and admire it. That's just asking for trouble.
That is still the hardest swing I've seen!
All fighting aside, Carlos Gomez hit that ball like a BOSS! He got all of that one!
Those are some incredibly empty stands...
It's Atlanta. No shocker there.
Atlanta is good fuck you sayin dude georgia dominates he'll you talkin bout
You fucking showed him, Ross. XD
Yeah, it was a day game. Everyone in Atlanta is busy, and most of them are at work.
thats because everyone realized baseball is fucking boring to watch
Miss him in Milwaukee
McCann and Freeman are little girls. I love baseball, and it’s my favorite sport. Why can’t a hitter flip his bat and watch, yet a pitcher can do whatever the hell he wants if he gets that crucial 3rd out to get out of a jam?
Two fights with McCann at the plate. Hmm, problem found.
Brian is Juan of the biggest assholes catching on the major leagues. ;)
The fights also took place in America, so America must be to blame.
you can"t let these rookies disrespect the sport no matter how good their numbers are.
NipSlipKnot , rookies that have more talent than him. Brian McCann is just an asshole.
McCann is a douche. These guys do a few second of looking at the ball. Yeh, it shows up the pitcher a bit. You wanna know how these pitchers can avoid this??
Braves are such instigators, they're notorious for that, When you hit a fucking homerun it feels as good. If i wanna watch it land with popcorn in my hand ill watch it land!
Why are pitchers allowed to be "pumped" when theyre on their game? I saw Randy Johnson pump his fist several times and yell "fuck yes!" after strikeouts whenever he was on fire, how is that ok, but staring down a homerun isnt ok? if it feels good (and doesnt affect anyone else) do it.
Fuck that overly conservative shit!.
do you understand the game? As a player are you gonna let some guy jog around the bases and taunt your team? These guys are a band of brothers and taunting one of them will sure as hell get you the reaction gomez got for being a punk. A sorry team for the 2013 season shouldn't be talking so much crap for a home run that meant nothing because if i remember correctly the brew crew lost. A catcher will never let his pitcher get talked to like that, well a good catcher at least. Grow up with the cursing too, no one can take you seriously
wow the one comment i actually curse on is where i get called on it for by someone, i rarely ever curse cause as you said, i never take comments like those seriously. i refuse to be a "troll" on TH-cam.
But anyway, there was disagreement over whether it was Gomez who said something to the pitcher first OR if it was McCann/pitcher for telling Gomez to run as he watched it land. I believe it was the latter as the Braves are known for hating on guys who watch their homeruns fly (like Jose Fernandez's shot, Brian told fernandez to "Run" as he was watching it)
I agree, dont start taunting a team if you dont want to feel their full wrath, BUT in the case of the braves they need to lighten up.
In the domincan republic (and most of the caribbean) they taunt each other all the time, and they act overly cocky, BUT its normal caribbean culture over there. They dont see it as cocky. i dont know if you read spanish but theres an article from the dominican republic after they won the WBBC titled
"Americans will never understand our baseball"
I do agree on you that they need to lighten up, but that kind of taunting was just stupid for the circumstances, haha that was such a pointless game too. I agree that its way different in other countries but the guy is playing MLB, not in a hispanic league you feel?
And also Chris Johnson was the one to blame for the Fernandez homer, Brian was offering some advice not to look at his homers for so long and Chris ran up because he thought that Jose was jawing
The Braves are pussy ass bitches? I guess a 4th place team with a star who shoots PED's are the real heros of our league
Get a new story dude.
One of my fav players
Never understood why pro athletes get so mad about being "shown up" making millions playing a kids game. So what if a player watches a HR. Never understood why that is such a big deal?
Greg Stephens thanks for that comment , I feel same way .. I mean lots of players do it ... why pick on Gomez ?? Play ball for god sake . No one cares about your feelings
played ball 17 years on 21 teams. i still dont know why the defense acts like cunts
It's bad sportsmanship. I'm of the opinion that if you watch a HR like that, the next pitch you face should be up an way in.
They're like Minecraft you tubers
Kids game? .. It's a game. That's it. A kid's game is hopscotch.. or jump rope.
Hey Atlanta, your stadium is empty, your fans don't care, neither should you.
That picture is of me. I have Benjamin Buttons thing. I'm 68 years old. Also I have like a hunnid chromosomes so you prolly just jelly.
I'm sorry for Tim Hursts hateful comment. That baby is adorable. Don't be ashamed of who you are.
Dean Smith It's a late season game on Wednesday against the brewers. Why would anyone want to go?
You have a point: Why would anyone go?
Also the braves already clinched the division at that point so people probably saved their money for the postseason games
Wasn't this in 2013 before the Posey rule? Just run full speed at him and drill him, touch home plate, walk to the dugout while counting how many fans are in attendance.
Rumor has it, he still hasn't touched home plate
So if you admire your home run that justifies getting punched in the face? Sounds more like the opposing team was just butthurt.
No one can defend McCann and the braves. He started talking right when gomez got up their. Very week on the Braves part
Looked like Gomez started barking at Maholm when he was jogging down to first base before anyone said anything to him.
Great job supporting your team Atlanta, there's like 50 people there
+Chairman Meow you jealous?
+Chairman Meow Yet they were 13th out of the 30 teams in attendance that year. Hehe
+Chairman Meow I looked at the 2013 calendar, and the game was played on a Wednesday night, so there probably wouldnt be many fans anyway
This game was on a Wednesday, it's the 1st inning and Atlanta traffic is horrible between 5 and 8pm, so most of the fans were probably still stuck in traffic
McCann is such a baby he complains about everything like when Fernandez had his 1st cAreer home run he just took a peak at it and it started a brawl
Fernandez didn't take a peak he stared at it almost until it landed
Prince Vegeta who cares, it was his first homerun....who gives a fuck
Also I'm a mets fan AND I HATE THE MARLINS AND BRAVES
And, McCann can just suck it up and play the freaking ball game
Foxy the Pirate fox look gomez hit alot if homeruns in his career and just standing and watching a homerun is uncalled for, fernandez, was his first career homerun so that was completely understandable plus he's unhittable
McCann even peeks at his home runs these days
I hate baseball more than ever now. The man who needed to be tossed was the Braves catcher, McCann. He interfered and physically got in the face of Gomez. Then, Reed Johnson of the Braves threw a punch at Gomez.
The catcher not only should have been tossed from the game, but should have been suspended for a month. YOU have NO right to stop a player from rounding the bases like that. The umpires are shit for allowing that. The umpires are shit for not penalizing McCann or Johnson, but for penalizing Gomez.
If Gomez wants to talk that is his business.
him not running and just being like "fuck you thats right, a home run" and not running is really unprofessional which is really which caused everything, even then the pitcher, the first baseman, the catcher and gomez should've been thrown out.
Gomez is the one who started everything. Umpires made the right decision.
You obviously no nothing about sports, it's always who starts it who gets tossed, because well there reason it happened in the first place, duh.
Two players got ejected (Freeman and Gomez). You're right. McCann should've been ejected. He did the same thing with Jose Fernandez. However, it was really Maholm and Freeman that started it. Maholm, after Gomez hit the home run, started in on him, Freeman defended him, and THAT'S when Go-Go started chirping. As for getting suspended for a month, it WAS nearing the end of the regular season, and that would be too harsh. If anyone should get that suspension, it's Johnson.
*hops off soapbox*
***** Well that's not true. It started because Gomez thought Maholm hit him on purpose in a previous AB. Then goes yard and thinks he's God's Gift to a baseball diamond. Gomez instigated that whole thing and Atlanta only backed up their pitcher like good teammates. I love that Brian McCann got in his face. People call him the unwritten rule enforcer, well that's good. Because someone needs to keep those rules; or else the MLB will turn into the NFL quickly. Baseball doesn't need players like Gomez.
This getting mad because someone flips their bat or stands too long before running is on thing about baseball I really do not like. He hit a homerun, let him celebrate. JFC
That wasn't the problem,it was that he kept talking shit the entire time.
That has nothing to do with it. He was talking trash to the pitcher the whole time.
It is MLB. Everyone there can hit the ball out of the park. So he didn't do anything special to warrant the showboating. Nice hit. Run your bases and keep playing. All the players understand but a few have to be douchebags. Gomez was called out for it.
@@Eman-xl7kk thank you for that. McCann just stood up for his teammate
sooooooo McCann doesn't get ejected but Gomez does....... MLB umps, everyone.
+Fun Bag Carlos Gomez did nothing wrong
How you eject Freeman but leave McCann? That literally makes no sense. Umpires never get it right.
why wasn't mccan thrown out? If he doesn't block home plate this doesn't happen.
i still don't understand what the big deal is when you watch your homer
Pitchers get triggered
Because you have sensitive little man-babies like McCann in the game.
Weird seeing Freddie so heated
Brian McCann is the Phil Kessel of baseball
lmao
McCann is such a little whiner. Looked like he was about to start crying.
But Gomez is known for this! He's allowed to yell at a guy with a horrible reputation and big temper
Did you watch the video? Gomez was a flat out dick after the homerun.
+Derek Cormier he threw them off did he not
Yeah and he's become a total wimp since he joined the Yankees. Guy can't hit for s*it.
Gfy McCann isn't a whiner
Look at those stands. The braves won, like 96 games last year and no one is there. Such loyal fans in Atlanta.
93, but close enough. What's 3 games
Just look at what lives there.
i think the Braves had already clenched the division at this point and were facing a Brewers team that ended up 74-88 on a Wednesday night at old Turner field. the official attendance was 19,500 or so which is more than i would have expected with everything how it was. Braves also lost 4-0 this game so it was pretty obvious this game just wasn’t important to them beyond Gomez jawing at Maholm. They have no problem selling out Truist these days.
He's the friendliest first baseman ;]
I sure have seen a lot of videos by MLB with the words "Benches clear" and "Carlos Gomez" haha
If Gomez had started the fight it would have been his fault, but the fight started because McCann was blocking home plate, he kept Gomez from scoring, and disrupted the game which was worst than anything Gomez did.
For some reason people seem to think what Gomez did is 100x worse than what McCann did. Funny how the world works, I bet if the ethnicity of the players where reversed (white guy hits hommer and watches from home plate, hispanic gets mad and blocks home plate) then everyone would still defend McCann. Thats just how it works.
jeanious2009 welcome to America
jeanious2009 your an idiot...another person crying race card...loser...its people like you to pull that crap...home run or not you run the bases don't...it called be a poor sport...but then again we have people like you to say it has to do with race...makes you sound racist
What happen? Must be true if it got under your skin.
So McCann was being a bad sport or was it Gomez???? Why do I got a feeling your going
say "Gomez"? lol because you yourself is a racist.
Both were being bad sports. Plain and simple.
How tf u gonna be salty that someone watched a home run? I would sit there for years and crack a cold one if I hit one. The pitcher shoulda thrown a better pitch if they didn’t want it to happen
Matt M I know more than u
So the issue isn't acting without class and unprofessionally (watching the homerun), the problem is when a batter has to pay for that.
Got it.
El beis bol es el deporte más hermoso de la tierra
Until I see a written rule that says you can't watch a homer and that you can't talk trash, I blame the Braves fully
there's like 100 people in the stands
***** you do understand that if they were to actually fight they could get in serious trouble from coaches and get fined for a large sum of money and also get labeled from people as a punk or an asshole. Im not a fan of any of these teams so I wont pick a side but in reality you should understand that its all about the money when it comes to sports just to let you know. And im sure there would be a brawl if theses people wern't so overpaid for just playing a sport!
Looked like Gomez was doing more backing up than going forward. First beaking off at the pitcher then artificially getting pulled back by his team. He needs to grow a pair.
This is why I don't watch baseball. Grow up
If you don’t want a hitter to watch his home run than the pitcher should do his job
You are correct
He was out of line blocking the plate. He could have caused a worse brawl
Why the hell are they so mad? He looked at the ball as he hit a home run... what the hell is wrong with that? They need to grow up.
Too sensitive
***** In response to them talking shit to him first. Maybe if the pitcher didn't just GIVE UP A HOMERUN none of this would of happened lol.
They were mad because Gomez was barking at Maholm and Freddie
go look up the definition of sportsmanship. It wasn't hitting a home run that was a problem, he was barking at the opponents after doing so.
Everyone knows that you cannot taunt anybody in pro sports, that is strictly unprofessional behavior. Where's the sportsmanship here?
I'm sure there is absolutely no taunting in pro sports at all, oh wait, there's the NFL.
Scooby Carr Nick And Fifa everytime somebody scores a goal they taunt.
Mind games
At least in the comments, a lot of people have no concept of what sportsmanship is.
mccann is worst catcher in the league
I disagree
Minecrafter I agree with you 100%. He's the worst catcher in MLB.
+checoPH lol 8 years with 20 consecutive homers
Not even close..
+Bird Man what?
So he looks at his homer, who cares, talk about over sensitive, If anything that would fire me up, make me think " wait till I bat"
BruinsCeltsBosoxBills that’s not all, Gomez is a piece of shit.. he hit a hr on the same exact pitcher and stared right at the pitcher the year before.. this time he disrespected the whole braves team even when he got up to bat he was already trash talking. McCann May have started talking first but Gomez didn’t have to talk back. He hit the hr and “threw the bat” *batflip and then looked at his hr then at the pitcher
You apparently didn't watch the game. Another stupid comment.
Bama4life I’m not arguing with a boy that plays fortnite 😂
@@canyonpace6989 Never Played fort nite. I work for a living. Try it sometime little girl.
Bama4life suppose to be a funny comment snd was meant for the other guy
"You hit me(previously), I hit you." Love this guy.
McCann is such a jerk. Not the first time.
Sorry, the entire Braves infield.
pigjubby1 you do realize gomez was running his mouth, he would of deserved get hit in the jaw by McCann
***** Do you even know what has gone on between Gomez and Paul Maholm? Maholm has hit Gomez numerous times all the way back to Gomez Twins days, & Gomez has always hit him hard. Happens between guys
***** McCann awesome!
*****
An atta boy to McCann. I would have done the same thing. Gomez needed to learn a lesson
Welcome Home B Mac! #GoBraves!
Its simple common courtesy what Gomez could've done. McCann had every right to be pissed
Nah. Lol.
Shouldn't be pitching that weak shit
+AM Keefer McCann should be worrying about other things ... like his non-hitting.
+AM Keefer no McCann is just a dick .
+AM Keefer What was he supposed to do? If you walk around the bases you're showing them up. If you jog you're being cocky and showing them up. If you sprint you're showing them up. If you so much as stand in the batter's box for more than 0.0001 seconds after impact with the ball you're showing them up.
I guess the simple answer is: Don't hit a home run.
Gomez should have rounded 3rd and ran over the catcher blocking his way to the plate.
I was thinking the same thing,..run McCann over!
yeah
Pierzynski style! ;)
Joe Johnson You done got told. lol
MaCann would've knock him on his ass if he tried that! Gomez acted like he hit his 1st home run! Gomez a fuckin douche
Months before this game Paul Maholm struck Gomez with a pitch in Milwaukee, it wasn't intentionally, but Gomez thought it was. Gomez held that grudge for months. In this game Gomez swings at the first pitch then stares down Maholm for some odd reason. When Gomez hits the homer he loudly grunts as if to say "that's payback for hitting me months ago" so he stands and watches the ball and slowly trot around the bases. He starts talking shit to Maholm, Freeman and Maholm some more. Then when gets to home plate Brian gets in his way and they start arguing. Gomez was the asshole in this game, he held a grudge for months against a guy that accidentally hit him. Mccann was just standing up for his teammates, that's what a catcher should do. it's not about Gomez watching the homerun, it's about how the way he acted towards the pitcher.
Ah, finally, a factual back story.
Did his home run counted?
Y que paso ? Porque fue la bronca ?
Its hilarious seeing this 7 years forward. Everyone pimps their homeruns today and its not even a problem anymore which is fantastic! Gomez was ahead of his time 😂
They weren't mad at the bat flip they were mad at what he said when he got it
@@hehaufhauxgs well still, teams would see pimping home runs or bat flips as a insult back then, almost never seen it compared to today
@@Glixity Its still unprofessional behavior. The change is MLB will fine and suspend guys for retaliation.
