Jose Altuve had a great reaction to receiving the silent treatment after hitting his first home run of the season.
During Wednesday’s game between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels, the reigning American League MVP went deep for the first time in 2018. When Altuve returned to the dugout, his teammates (momentarily) had no reaction to what happened and showed not emotion whatsoever. That didn’t stop Altuve from celebrating.
Here’s a look from another angle.

The silent treatment is of the more entertaining baseball celebrations. Shohei Ohtani received the same treatment earlier this season.
It doesn’t matter if you’re the last man on the bench, a star from Japan, or the reigning MVP, anyone can be subjected to it. It’s pretty awesome Altuve had fun with it the way he did.
