Rays pitcher Chris Archer recently made his feud with Astros’ mascot Orbit official, and he delivered on his “Declaration of Unfriendliness” before Tampa Bay’s game in Houston on Wednesday. Yesterday, Orbit left Archer a pregame snack of chocolate, a bottle of “electrolyte formula” and laxatives. Archer responded by presenting Orbit with a mascot diploma from the University of Raymond, but only to set him up for a water balloon ambush.

When the water balloons started flying, Orbit ripped off his jersey to reveal a poncho underneath and then whipped out a water gun for retaliation.
Mascots always come prepared.
