Re: It's Vandy Day at the Braves' Sun Trust Park this Sunday
Speaking of the Braves, the Marlins' starting pitcher intentionally threw inside against Acuna tonight, hitting his arm right above the elbow. Acuna stayed in to run, but he took himself out after taking the field.
Acuna had hit a leadoff homer in the three previous games against the Marlins, and had a five game homer streak. This was such a bush league move by the Marlins, and I am really worried that the pitch fractured his arm (don't know what is wrong yet). A last place team shouldn't be able to take out a first place team's most exciting player.

That was bush league and that chump had best be glad the umps ejected him. Had the Braves not retaliated, the fans might have. Braves coach was great. Also, Dansby Swanson had a 405 feet two run homer and a sac fly for a three RBI night.

He didn't do it the right way. Punk move.
Could have thrown an off-speed pitch and plunked him or buzzed him. Instead, he threw a 97-98 fastball at his rib cage. His fastest pitch of the year. Acuna couldn't get out of the way.
They'll get him at the right time. The Braves play the next 22 days straight and are in the middle of a pennant race. They can't afford to lose a starter right now.
He'll get what's coming to him.

Good news is Acuna did play last night (but no homer). Unfortunately, Swanson was the goat after committing an error in the top of the 9th, which helped lead to 3 runs and a 5-3 loss.

Nice of the Braves to sit both Swanson and Flaherty on Vandy Day.
(I know, I know, they're trying to win a division, not make friends.)

Didn't hear any official mention of it in the stadium, either.

Anybody know how much went back to the Black and Gold Society? I don't know what that group is.
