Orbit, the Houston Astros mascot, is a loveable space creature who is garnering attention for his terrific trolling of the cross-state rival Texas Rangers.
In a recent series at Minute Maid Park, Orbit gave some extra attention to Rangers bench player J.P. Arencibia. During Saturday's contest, Arencibia threw a rosin bag from the on-deck circle at the mascot and then nudged him below the belt with his bat.
On Sunday, Orbit retaliated with a series of signs relating to Arencibia, and Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News asked Arencibia how much of what the mascot told the world was actually true.
