Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Gomez should show more professionalism, while the Astros were learning Gomez's passion and showboating is a part of his game. Veteran pitcher Chad Qualls said Gomez "kind of rubs you the wrong way" if you're not on his team.
Like it or not, the Astros have added some lightning to their lineup and clubhouse in Gomez.
"He's a high-energy player, like George Springer does," Qualls said. "He doesn't mean any disrespect by it at all. That's just the way he is. He's like that on and off the field.
