The ball Ronald Acuna was hit with was 97.5 mph

They also said that was the hardest 1st pitch of a game that Urena has throw ALL year!

I'm ok with this. I think that he is good enough to go, but save him for tomorrow and make sure he is healthy. We've already got the series in hand, so don't risk him.

I think he's got a small fracture unfortunately. Fingers crossed.

The bat flip the other day is what did it. The fact that they showed it over and over on ESPN just pissed off MIA more.

The Marlins are a bush league organization

Doubt it was the bat flip, moreso the fact that eSECpn kept showing him bombing Marlin pitching Hell even pitchers flip a bat now when they homer!

I hope you're wrong but if it's true that could deep six the Braves the rest of the season

Kevin Gausman really sucks tonight

Kevin Gausman really sucks tonight

I will give him that he had a 40+ minute wait between innings.

Ronald Acuna's home run streak will continue according to what i just heard on TV.

Idiots. You know I have no problem knocking a guy on his a** if he is an A** after hitting a home run (Jeffrey Leonard anyone?) but Acuna hadn't done anything but swing the bat!

You called them a much more gentlemanly term than I was going to use.

Miami 2-0 over the Braves in the 4th inning The Braves need to wake up

 

[awbuzz]

The ball Ronald Acuna was hit with was 97.5 mph

The fastest opening game pitch the pitcher has started with in his MLB career...

 

[MikeJackets1967]

A poster on the Marlins message board said that Ronald Acuna was hit because he's "pimped" some homeruns that he hit a long way and has been caught celebrating outside the dugout from time to time

I should have read further before posting last response.

The Marlins lead the Braves 2-1 in the 4th inning

Harold Reynolds is railing on MLBNetwork that Acuna's streak should be over because it's a dumb rule. He's claiming he technically made an appearance and is making comparisons to Cal Ripken Jr's streak being ended because he played less than 5 innings. His beef is that Ronald officially had an AB, unfortunate or not.

He won't let it go either. He said to give Acuna a participation trophy while we're at it. I love sports.

His 2 other co-hosts are telling him he's dead wrong btw to be lobbying against this rule for the sake of a 20yr old kid.

Jim Thome is calling for us to throw at somebody immediately. I FRIGGIN LOVE IT.
