Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Friday, May 02, 2014Brewers’ Carlos Gomez gets robbed, has his revenge against the RedsCarlos Gomez is the type of guy who always seems to find himself at the center of something. On Thursday he was integrally involved in the the two best plays of the night. The Brewers’ sparkplug-slash-nemesis of those who defend all rules that are unwritten hacked at the first pitch of the game from the Reds’ Homer Bailey and seemed destined for his 17th extra base hit of this young season, but Billy Hamilton had other ideas. Hamilton raced into the gap in right-center, dove into the air and snagged Gomez’s liner. It wasn’t all good news for the Reds – Hamilton reportedly sprained the third and fourth knuckles on his left hand and will miss a few games – but it was another reminder of the many ways his speed can impact the game, and of how quickly a player who was exclusively a middle infielder until last season has taken to centerfield In the bottom of the inning, it was Gomez’s turn to flash both his athleticism and his leather. This time Joey Votto swung at the first pitch he saw from Brewers starter Marco Estrada and drove it high and deep to center. Gomez raced back, drifted to his right and then curled back to the left before turning his back to the wall. One perfectly timed leap later and a certain Votto homer had become a harmless flyout: Gomez, being Gomez, exulted and pounded his fist into his glove, but Votto, to his credit, appeared to take no offense. Instead he flashed two fingers towards center, not in order to flip the international bird to Gomez but to remind him, as if he needed it, that he’d robbed him before, to end a game last July. Russlan thinks deGrom is da bomb

1. hokieneer Posted: May 02, 2014 at 09:49 AM (#4698754)...or you could just be cool like Joey Votto and realize the game is supposed to be fun. Points for Joe.
//not criticizing phillips because i like watching him play. just interesting how two guys who are similar in their energy levels get perceived. gomez is now demon spawn while phillips is 'fiery' or some such
agreed
Entirely possible that Gomez is just a general dick and Phillips is not. The players would know, and the media might, but we wouldn't.
We do know about Philips' dickish moaning about teammates' new contracts.
regarding phillips certainly the cards as a team hold some animus.
certainly gomez has had some actions that have drawn negative attention. i am unaware of opposing players expressing a distaste for gomez the person.
As Harvey noted, the Cards hate him, and I think it's justified - the "tapping the catcher with his bat" thing may have been just a thing, but after his comments he had to know where it would lead.
The "fat MFer" tirade directed at Rosecrans after he had the audacity to suggest that BP's .310 OBP wouldn't be much of an improvement over Todd Frazier's .320.
He hasn't talked to local media since before spring training.
