Five consecutive games with a home run.

Four consecutive lead off home runs.

Second game with a home run on the first pitch of the game.

All, as a rookie. Kid is the real deal and is on fire. These young Braves are fun to watch.

I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched the Braves. I’ve heard a whole lot more about them lately, though.

Heard on the radio this a.m. that he was only the 4th player to ever lead off with a HR in both games of a double header.

They should’ve beat Urena’s ass.

He should be suspended for multiple games.

Next time he faces Atlanta in the batters box he will take one between the shoulder blades guaranteed.

Baseball is so stupid. It's the only sport where you can never dominate the opponent or celebrate without being beaned.

Not really true. It's just a way to get a guy out of his comfort zone and thinking about something other than digging in and raking. In hockey, guys might play a little more physical against the other teams dominant player. In football a DB might put a little something extra in a hit to make that reciever think twice about going over the middle again. In basketball a guy might take a hard foul against a guy dominating the paint. Baseball doesn't have much contact so every now and then you check a guy. Throwing at someone's head should have serious consequences but one in the ribs every now and then keeps everyone on their toes and is just part of the game. It'll work itself out as long as all involved keep it in perspective. The Marlins know the Braves owe them one and should take their base and call it even when it happens.

They know something is coming and I bet they keep Urena out of the rotation the next time they meet.

Snitker was the first one out of the dugout chewing Urena's ass. That's the kind of manager you want to play for.


I watched the leadoff homer from the previous game, and I thought he admired it a little much, then capped it off with a bat flip. I thought it was a little showy, but I've never been on a hot streak like that so I get it.

Nolan Ryan would've tattooed the next sumbitch at the plate and then stood there ready to beat anyone's ass. That's chickenshit baseball by Urea or whatever the heck his name is.

You want to brush back a guy, get him out of his comfort zone, whatever? Fine. That's baseball. Throw a little inside, make him jump a little.

Intentionally plunking a guy and possibly breaking a bone? You should pay hard for that.

Dang right. The Braves starting pitcher should have hit the first batter he faced after that nonsense right between the shoulder blades.

And then he’d have been ejected and the Braves forced to put another pitcher in and stress an already strained bullpen. Braves are neck and neck with the Phillies and need every win they can get to make a run in the post season.

Yep, to win a pennant sometimes you have to play with your brain not your heart. Don't fret, it is being discussed in the clubhouse how to best repay the favor.

97 mph to elbow on first pitch is possibly grounds for filing assault charges. Plunk him in the butt. Was punk move!

If this had been earlier in the season, I'd agree. But I agree with Odocoileus and the practical aspect of it being late in the season with a title chase.

The Braves will remember it, though. Similar to NHL hockey, the players have long memories and will exact revenge when the time is right.

Braves-Marlins has been a little heated in the past too. Last I recall is the game when McCann told the Hernandez kid to “f****** run!!!” When he admired a homer a little too long in Miami.


I’m thinking about Carlos Gomez for the Brewers. But he did get fired up at Hernandez too.

I don’t disagree with the Marlins pitcher plunking him and in all fairness Acuna knew it was coming and should have been moving and not dipped his elbow into the pitch but the Braves should have cleared the bench just as soon as the pitch was released. As a pitcher you can not let a batter that has been that hot with the bat just stand there with his feet set in concrete and load up to hit the next home run. You got to get him unsettled, moving and guessing. In the old days when a batter squared the pitcher tried to eat hole them. Double plays were broke up hard at any cost. That’s baseball.

You don't throw your fastest pitch of the year, and one that is running inside so there's no way you can get out of the way to a guy that is doing nothing but hitting the ball. That's not baseball. That's being a punk. Even Mattingly waffled around with coming out supporting his pitcher. It was a cheap shot.

I take it you never played much baseball. At 95 MPH, you are lucky to move anything, you certainly don't think "well I think I'll stick my elbow out there" as you seem to think is possible. There is a big difference between throwing inside and throwing at someone. I can say this, I promise the Braves clubhouse is not happy with a 6 game suspension. The next time they play might be interesting TV.

If you don't think you can get someone out without hitting him, you don't need to be pitching a baseball for a living. There is no other explanation since there was no fued between the two players. Urena is just a MLB wussy that was afraid to face the hottest hitter in the league.

RCHHR, are you freaking kidding me, just because the pitchers can't get him out, you say hit him with the baseball, WOW ! How about not throw a fastball right down the middle on the first pitch every time. Is it not a batters responsibility to knock the ever lovin crap out of the baseball, and on the other hand, a pitchers job to strike him out or at least keep off stride. The ONLY time I would say throwing at anyone, would be if that person tried to harm one of my teammates, and then it would be to the butt or thigh.
What if that pitch had broke that kids elbow ? Still warranted in your mind ?

Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire said Urena was lucky he didn't play for him or he would have sent him out there to bat leadoff the next time they played the Braves so they could have their way with him. Damn!

When was last time you saw contact at 2nd breaking us a dp? They dont allow it anymore...least not since that dude had his ankle broke. More contact at first nowadays.


The harder I practice, the luckier I get.

The ONLY time I would say throwing at anyone, would be if that person tried to harm one of my teammates, and then it would be to the butt or thigh.
What if that pitch had broke that kids elbow ? Still warranted in your mind ?


Yep. Throw at him. Evidently you never played ball past daddy ball and you didn’t hear the other MLB coaches comments.

My point exactly. Baseball is being sissyfied just like football.

I take it you never played much baseball. At 95 MPH, you are lucky to move anything, you certainly don't think "well I think I'll stick my elbow out there" as you seem to think is possible. There is a big difference between throwing inside and throwing at someone. I can say this, I promise the Braves clubhouse is not happy with a 6 game suspension. The next time they play might be interesting TV.

If you don't think you can get someone out without hitting him, you don't need to be pitching a baseball for a living. There is no other explanation since there was no fued between the two players. Urena is just a MLB wussy that was afraid to face the hottest hitter in the league.


Actually I did play a good bit of baseball and with some simi-pro and pro players.
