didn’t escobar do pretty much the exact same HR”celebration” a couple of series ago? it was barely even noted then, yet now it’s some sort of huge ordeal. hell, i’m pretty sure he’s done it every HR.

His idiotic play in the field (like earlier in the game) is what deserves conversation,not the celebration (Jays are biggest hot dogs in mlb). His showboating is a disaster waiting to happen on every throw (look at last out on Sunday). The chrome is the chrome. Rays are stuck with it for $5m this year.

This is a non issue; I see nothing that offended me. 2 years ago ex-Rays INF Felipe Lopez hit a HR vs. the White Sox and showboated around the plate. After the game, Lopez got called out on his manager. More than half of the players showboat when hitting a HR, no big deal. Maddon should be more mad at Lueke walking 3 batters instead of smiling and being jolly after a loss.

How do these umpires always manage to be on the wrong side of the play to make a proper call. They need to work on positioning these guys better

It’s a little bit cocky but I don’t find it as bad as the guys that stand in the box and admire the HR without moving and then flip away the bat a la Big Papi.

He does it after every homerun that ive seen….How is it any different than any other person’s homerun celebration?

Wow.

Guy is trying to rally his team in the ninth. Cracks a homer after a long at bat. Escobar must have seen 60 pitches the last 2 games. Are you Rays fans watching the same games I watch?

If that offfend’s your sensibilities then you could pass a flax seed.

Give me a break.

He is batting .300 the last 30 days after a very weak start.

Man wears his heart on his sleeve. Is that bad?

Dave, KT: had Escobar’s home run won the game for the team, a bit of spontaneous celebration would have seemed approprriate. But in this context (Rays still two runs behind) it seemed showy and immature. But I guess I’m old school about these player antics. I don’t like end zone victory dances in football, either. I’m not even a fan of Rodneys’ shooting the arrow. Just shake hands and save the celebration for the clubhouse.
