I think it’s safe to say Camargo wouldn’t have made this play.

The Braves sent him down for his lack of production at the plate, mainly. I’ve heard Snitker proclaim over the last two seasons, Camargo is probably the best infielder we have. Ron Washington calls him one of the most versatile guys we have, along with Charlie Culberson.

I don’t think it’s safe to say he wouldn’t have made that play. I think you HAVE NO IDEA, unless you’re a psychic.

If we don’t come out tonight and put one in someone’s ear hole then we lose our man card. The MLB network crew actually feels bad for our batters at this point, in particular Acuna. We’re not protecting our hitters and they’ve never seen a team not protect its hitters. Harold Reynolds and Jim Thome both said that if Julio DOESN’T throw at people tonight then they will actually be upset.

I'm not sure I agree with retaliation at this point, in theory I do, in reality I think we have to much to risk.
If the Marlins over-react and it turns into a big to-do, we have the risk of players getting hurt or suspended, the Marlins have nothing to lose and probably would love to see the Braves taken down a notch ...

I was surprised they didn't at least hit the pitcher when he came up. However, I get why they didn't.

This is basically a nothing team tryna entice a legit NLCS/World Series team into a playground fight.

We got a hot team nipping at our heels and can't really afford to have guys out 5+ games off some nonsense with this nothing team.

Now, if I were the Braves, I would make it abundantly clear that:
(a) we see what you're trying to do Marlenes and
(b) we'll deal with you on our timetable, not yours because
(c) we got bigger fish to fry which is something
(d) you don't understand because you're a nothing team and are content with being a 4-A farm squad for the real teams in the league.

At least that way you don't come across as a pushover.

Camargo is not our best infield defender, especially this year. He is versatile and is usually an average defender but he still has a negative defensive runs saved in every position except 2nd base (2018). Even with Camargo's struggles, Hechavarria's bat was even worse when he was picked up by the Braves. Yet Hechavarria was immediately slotted into the rotation because Camargo was costing us games with his defense at SS. He was fortunate to not collect errors on plays that you can't assume outs, but he dropped a double play ball to load the bases without getting the force at second and cost us that game. Then in another game he tried to backhand pick a ball instead of getting in front and knocking it down and that runner came around to score and we lost. Camargo has been a complete mental case this year because of the demotion.

The analysts actually spoke about this as well and said you still HAVE to do it. You must protect your players or eventually one of our hitters are gonna take one in the face. Do it tonight, and deal with the consequences and suspensions. There are unspoken rules and ethics in baseball and they must be followed. We better retaliate tonight.

You and Jake are both correct. MIA knows what they’re doing. But it’s time.

I hear what your saying, but I'm still not sure it's the right move ... IMO, Mattingly tried to get arise out of us to even the playing field and it didn't work, now it's over.
But, as I said if it happens again you have to do something.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they went at somebody and I wouldn't blame them.

It's annoying really. Like, is this the only thing the Marleens think about when they see the Braves on the schedule? Get over the fact that, when you google "Marleens' owner", a picture of Acuna comes up.
