What was happening here in the Orbit-J.P. Arencibia feud?
If you’re reading this, you already know about the long-running, hilarious frenemy troll rivalry between our amazing mascot Orbit and the Rangers’ J.P. Arencibia. (If for some reason, you’re not, this post will bring you up to speed).
Heading into the third game of the final Lone Star Series in Houston, we all wondered what would be next in this ongoing saga. More signs? More photoshops? Hand to hand combat?
It turns out that Orbit has something else in mind before Saturday night’s game — an intervention.
Orbit waits for an intervention on the field
Orbit had a seat saved for Arencibia, but would the Rangers’ catcher be amenable? Orbit waited patiently….
A truce is reached!
And after a few words were exchanged, it was time for the bros to hug it out. All is well.
Hug it out, bros!
Here’s video of tonight’s intervention.

Thanks to J.P. Arencibia for being such a good sport about this the entire time. Gotta love baseball. And mascots.
Now that Orbit and Arencibia have made peace, who will Orbit’s next victim be? Stay tuned.
