Oakland Athletics’ Fan Poll: Would You Rather Have Players Who Play With Swag Or Passion?

During the September 19 broadcast of the Oakland Athletics game, broadcasters Glen Kuiper and Eric Chavez discussed at length Houston Astros center fielder Carlos Gomez and the issues other teams have had with him.

They showed a recent clip of Gomez hitting a long fly ball for an out, and flipping his bat against the New York Yankees. This struck Yankees catcher John Ryan Murphy the wrong way and he got in Gomez’ face to let him know about it.

This is a common occurrence with Gomez, to the point where if you were to google his name and the word fight you would find pages of videos.
