Just watched it...Gomez should not have watched his homer, but Freeman needs to keep his mouth shut. Why would you instigate the situation? Your team made the playoffs...Do you really want to be suspended? Just a whole lot of dumb on both sides. If anything you let the guy run around the bases and plunk him next time up, but to pitch a fit and stand in his way, because he acted like an ass makes zero sense. Don't stoop to his level. He's the immature one...They had the chance to be bigger than him and blew it.


Only way Freeman screwed, to me, is when he actually went after Gomez when McCann blocked the plate

McCann was standing up for his pitcher and teammate, good for him

I have zero problem with what McCann did, did Freeman stand in his way as well? b/c you said Freeman up above...
Freeman was screaming at him as he ran around the bases. I would hope a guy that is in a fight for HFA for the playoffs on my team would shutup and not get his butt tossed there. McCann meh...Get over it man. Gomez plays on a crappy team and you bucking up to him makes it look like you see him as a threat. Laugh his butt off the field for trying to show up your team.

Reminds me of the greatest thing MY ever did...that homer he hit in KC last year after Nelly got thrown at was so sweet. Then he just get his head down and ran bases. Gomez should have handled it like that.

I don't think its seeing him as a threat as all, just making a statement that there's no place for that sort of stupid behavior

The whole let your actions do your talking only works so far, sometimes you have to confront ignorant behavior

To me what Gomez did wasn't a big deal

Then you're obviously not a baseball guy, b/c every baseball guy I've seen comment on it either appreciates what McCann did or talks down on Gomez, or both

And just about every baseball guy I know feels the same way

It wasn't as big enough deal to stop the entire game for and stand in the way of the dude when he's entitled to touch home plate. Gomez was already over the top, but what McCann did is practically unprecedented in over the toptitude. I don't care for the Brewers and Gomez, while he's a pretty good young player, I wouldn't go out of my way to defend him. This is the second time the Braves have gotten butt hurt over a player walking around the bases after a homer in the last month.

Well that's the most fallacious statement of the day. Nice "no true Scotsman" usage though.

Jose Fernandez who hit his first homer ever...Chris Johnson and McCann both had words for him...Just shut the hell up...It's the Marlins and Brewers.

Oh and Johnson told him "weak ass fastball" after Jose got him to fly out earlier in the game. Braves have some weird ways of dealing with stuff.

The Braves are in a fight to keep HFA. They have been playing pretty poor down the stretch in September. I wouldn't want my players acting in a way that got them taken out of a game for "defending the game." That's ludicrous. You need those guys in the lineup.

Bring on McCann, what an add he would be! I did think Gomez was going to deck him there for a second though lol

That little punk gomez, had his chance. He is all talk. McCann would kicked his ass, if he would of swung.

Been gone for a bit ... know you all have worried.

Could care less what goes on in a NL game especially anything involving MIA or its players... ie The Miami Theorem.

All of the baseball guys who are mental midgets commented on it ... and those who didn't comment are on board with TMT too.

the pitcher should have hit him again before he hit the homerun or at least brush him back.

It's a game...why should they be fighting? There's no place for that in baseball.
