ColonelPops Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Some day way down the road I'll be telling people I saw his first MLB game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTS_JF Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He's crushing it, a lot of things could change but he's got special wrote all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Acuna Jr. just hit his second homer tonight :lol2: 6 homers in his last 5 games. 9 in his last 9 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleluck55 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Acuna hit with the first pitch of the game and benches cleared. One way to keep him from hitting hr’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I read an ESPN tweet that the pitch was in the 99th percentile for speed of all Urena’s pitches for the year. And that it was his fastest opening pitch. Not even a question it was intentional. And it knocked Acuna out of the game.

A team no where near playoff contention could have just injured a star rookie for a team leading the division, all because he was crushing them. He didn't do anything dirty...he just killed them over and over. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on reddit that the pitch Urena threw was in the 99th percentile as far as speed for pitches he has thrown this year. Not only did he hit him on purpose, he threw it 97 MPH.

Not only did he hit him on purpose, he threw it 97 MPH. I saw him start a brawl at a minor league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did he hit him on purpose, he threw it 97 MPH. That is the angriest I've ever seen the Braves manager, Snitker, who got ejected. I don't believe the Braves ever retaliated during the game.....maybe the next time they play. Any word on Acuna's condition? To use Bryce Harper's word it was a clown play by the pitcher.

Acuna didn’t suffer a fracture. They had a CT scan and results are pending. As for retaliation, no, I’m prettt sure they didn’t. They do play another series this year, but unless Urena pitches, I hope they let it go. Part of me says just let it go entirely, to send the message that he and the entire Marlins organization are irrelevant. The other part says if Urena ever bats against the Braves, put it between the numbers. FAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Start suspending these pitchers for plugging people. With as many stupid unwritten rules that baseball has, plunking a guy because he is owning you should be #1 on the 'NO' list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
