I saw the home run in question. To me, I thought he threw his bat and was directing all his emotion towards his teammates
Is that not acceptable display of emotion? I guess to me and many others, it kinda all goes back to how we were taught sportsmanship growing up playing baseball. If you slow walked, slammed or threw your bat, slammed or threw your helmet in the dugout, couldn't take a hit and started a brawl, coach would bench your azz IF you didn't get thrown out by the ump.. Period. Didn't matter who you were. Obviously not that way today, but whatever. I don't hate Garcia (like some hate Altuve because of his looks or he's really good). I just don't like his attitude. Garcia is carrying this team and emotions are high, I get it. I don't wish harm on him and I want the Rangers to win. It's that simple. A 30 year old, making less than $1m and carrying the team on his shoulders a lot the season while others are making $20-80m a year. I’d have attitude too I hear you, but disagree. The Altuve story is a good one, should check it out. That is an American baseball story. No self honor. As is the Garcia story. Everyone on this thread knows your opinion of him…. But,are you certain Maldonado had no hand in any of this, going back to that game in Houston? Of course you are….that’s what homerism is.

"Of course you are….that’s what homerism is."
Negative. Not homerism at all and none of us know what was said or not said. It's about what was done. You ever been hit by a fast ball?
Never in the history of Altuve has he ever been a dick to any player regardless. This drama queen representing Texas aggravates me.
Garcia is a bad [censored] buck but you gotta put some reins on him, or will start breaking bones the next 2 years and never be the same.

TLew. He (Altuve) played for basically free for years. Just for the love of baseball, not for the love of money unlike most.
Hater's gonna hate, whatever. Has donated quite a bit since actually getting paid for playing ball.
This is about the Rangers though, and winning the WS.

Good for him. Guess he just kept playing for the love of the game and Dusty gave him a cool $26m without him saying it's what he deserved. Maybe you could say him and Garcia have more in common than you'd like to admit

Maybe you could say him and Garcia have more in common than you'd like to admit They have nothing in common. If you can't see that then I dunno what to tell you. The difference between these two are night & day.

I just do not see it. Vlad got popped for doing stuff like that. I think Vlad is trash but I would not put him in the same pool.

 It's all good Josh, skinner is just a Houston fan putting his team (and its players) on a pedestal.

One that has killed the Rangers. But, apparently, to some, turnabout is NOT fair play. Regardless of what they say…..

Altuve is an amazing player and appears to be an excellent teammate and person. He has been a Rangers killer this year. Love them or hate them, the Astros made the Rangers better this season. Once the Rangers beat the Astros, they were ready to beat anyone.
