((HT: FS Brewers/MLB))
Carlos Gomez is not, apparently, Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez when it comes to admiring his handiwork...
But Braves catcher Brian McCann will be more than happy to tell you when you break the code...
Gomez, Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and Gerald Laird were ejected. The umpires said that the Gomez run counted even though he had never touched home plate, invoking Role 7.06(a), which says an "obstructed runner shall be awarded at least one base beyond the base he had last legally touched before the obstruction."
Gomez and Maholm have a history... On June 23 at Miller Park, a Maholm fastball hit Gomez in the left knee. Gomez thought Maholm had intentionally struck him.
When Gomez rounded third base, he pointed at his knee while yelling at Maholm... connecting the two incidents...
At least, in theory...
