Orbit was bummed that Chris Archer was injured and unable to continue their prank war

Astros mascot Orbit and Rays pitcher Chris Archer have long been engaged in a prank war. It's baseball's version of Ali-Frazier except with inflatable mascots and fart signs instead of fists. However, as any prank perpetrator knows, the jokes come from a place of love and friendship.

So, with Chris Archer currently on the DL and unable to continue his war with Orbit during this week's Rays-Astros series, the green and fuzzy alien was understandably distraught.

While we’ve had our “differences”, I do hope that @ChrisArcher22 gets well soon. The series just isn’t the same without you. pic.twitter.com/sUcDUwAbYy — Houston Astros Orbit (@OrbitAstros) June 20, 2018

Chris Archer was bummed to miss out, though he did give his blessing for Orbit to hassle some of the other Rays:

Thanks Orbit. Im starting to feel better. Wish I was there with the guys. Give the boys a hard time for me please. https://t.co/stRAWqTTKh — Chris Archer (@ChrisArcher22) June 20, 2018

We'll know things are right in the world when Archer and Orbit are up to their hijinks again.
