The Atlanta Braves found a way to win against the Miami Marlins in Game 1 of the NLDS. It wasn’t without drama as Max Fried struggled early giving up four runs in 4 innings pitched.
The other storyline is that everyone is up in arms because Ronald Acuña Jr. was hit by a pitch yet again. This is the fifth time that Acuña has been hit by a Marlins pitcher. It seems like the Braves were a different team once Acuña was hit by Sandy Alcantara.
Gabe Burns, of the AJC, joined The Jon Chuckery Show to discuss the troubled history between these two teams. You would be hard-pressed to find a person to say at least one of those five hit by pitches wasn’t intentional. “It’s not a coincidence,” Burns said.
Nephew Ronnie showed a lot of restraint by not approaching the mound, but his teammates did the talking with their bats, which could carry them all the way to the World Series.
