Arencibia lands nutshot to Astros mascot from on-deck circle (VIDEO)

Most major leaguers know about the Houston Astros mascot's penchant for distracting opposing batters warming up before stepping up to the plate, but J.P. Arencibia wasn't having any of it Saturday night.

While Orbit loomed behind the on-deck circle, the Rangers first baseman decided to take matters into his own hands, so to speak, by using his bat to poke the annoying alien in his green fuzzies.

Orbit had the last laugh though — albeit in soprano — when Arencibia's tainted lumber whiffed for a strike three.

If you won't wear any pants Orbit, at least put on a cup.
