Archie Bradley Is America's New Favorite Player After Flipping Off the Astros Following a Home Run

Archie Bradley is now America's pitcher following what can only be described as a borderline heroic middle finger Wednesday night.

Following a Nick Ahmed home run off Houston's Nivaldo Rodriguez in the 5th inning, the camera panned to the Arizona bullpen, where Bradley was waiting for his time to shine. Bradley made his thoughts on the Astros' cheating scandal pretty well known without having to say a word, giving the gesture to Rodriguez and the rest of the Houston lineup as Ahmed rounded the bases.

Good for Archie. He waited for an appropriate time — a 413-foot blast — and probably had no idea the camera was even on him, but just wanted to give one nice middle one to the Houston squad. And you can tell just how bad he'd been wanting to do that because he has it held up for a second and then almost re-loads and puts it up again with some gusto. I love it.

Long live Archie Bradley.
