Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was once again hit by a pitch by the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, but some found his reaction to be over the top.<\/p>\n

Acuna was hit in the hand by a pitch from Ryan Gusto during Wednesday\u2019s game at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Fl. The pitch came immediately after Matt Olson had homered for the Braves, so the timing was suspicious.<\/p>\n

Acuna reacted by yelling at Gusto and taking a few steps toward the mound. Both benches cleared as Acuna slowly made his way to first base.<\/p>\n

Not everyone was impressed with Acuna\u2019s reaction. Marlins broadcaster Tommy Hutton was among those who called out Acuna for making too much of the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re that mad, charge him. If you\u2019re that mad, go after him,\u201d Hutton said.<\/p>\n

Acuna\u2019s reaction is almost certainly down to the fact that the Marlins have hit him nine times over the course of his career, though most of those came before 2022. He is well aware of that history, and has drawn attention to it multiple times.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s incident prompted both teams to receive warnings. Braves manager Brian Snitker was not happy with that, and was subsequently ejected for arguing with the umpires. The Braves went on to win 12-1.<\/p>\n

The timing was suspicious, but the Marlins did not have much reason to throw at Acuna in this spot. Their long history with each other, however, ensures the star outfielder will always assume the worst with this particular opponent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
