Shock the Monkey....or Bear!
Peter Gabriel released this hit smash back in 1982. While some have thought the song is about using shock therapy, Gabriel has cleared the air many times to say it's a song about jealousy. Something that all of us, at some point in our lives, feel. It can take us by surprise when we least expect it. Often times, we don't even realize that we are feeling it.
Well, I can safely say that there must be plenty out there who are feeling that way now about your people's champion and mine, Evan Gattis. The Houston Astros coasted to a sixth straight win last night, which began in the second inning. Carlos Correa had just returned to the lineup after a few games out with with right abdominal soreness. His first at-bat upon his return was, no surprises, a rocket into the second deck of left field. This was followed by a Yuli Gurriel single and a Josh Reddick walk that would set the table for what would come next.
Rather than tell you, I will gladly show you!:
We should thank ourselves lucky that we get to be apart of it!

If you think my bear buddy was done after, boy would you be wrong! The bull-bear lumberjack then followed up 3 innings later with THIS gem of a hit! For the first time in his career, Gattis tallied 5 RBI in a single game. this was the spark that catapulted the team to a 6-3 victory over the division rival, Oakland Athletics. The spacemen are proving, once again, why other teams around the league are gonna have to take their title from them by force.
After so many posts from people calling for him to be put on DFA or released outright, the haters have been silenced once and for all. El Oso Blanco is back, and isn't going anywhere. So as they say in Return of the Jedi, "Let the hate flow through you." Or in this case, the jealousy of knowing that you have been proven wrong once and for all, CDH crowd. In a way, Evan Gattis has shocked the monkey right off of his back that had been plaguing him all throughout the month of April.
It's all in the rear view mirror now, and it is glorious. Just check out these tweets:

This photo isn’t mine, but it’s just too perfect not to tweet. @tonykemp @BulldogBeing I so hope this indeed is their thing when Evan homers or has himself a night. Dude deserves it and Kemp being a hug machine is perfection. pic.twitter.com/0eNBZulE9H— Nico Chitty (@_hansolocup) June 13, 2018
My personal favorite of these two is seeing the pic of Gatty Daddy getting that hug from Tony Kemp. There is no greater heart-warming feeling than seeing the chemistry that has been built in this clubhouse over the years. Skipper A.J. Hinch has been a big force behind that. Credit is also given to Jeff Luhnow and Jim Crane for getting him here in the first place, AND sticking with him. No matter what happens this coming winter, Evan Gattis will always have a special place in Astros history.Evan Gattis on his big night pic.twitter.com/8g9NyRc6zB— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) June 13, 2018
