Why on earth would Mike Soroka go head-hunting after Peter OBrien, a 28-year-old journeyman who he had never ever faced in the big leagues prior to? And why, more than three years later on, is this the first time Mattingly has made the accusation?
And by the way, the Braves signed OBrien as a free agent six months after the occurrence in question. Clearly, OBrien was extremely distressed by the occurrence that Mattingly claims was an intentional effort to hurt.
Brian Snitker voiced his annoyance for the continued throwing at Acuña (deliberate or not) throughout his post video game press conference.

Fittingly, Acuña scored the only run on Friday night as Atlanta won by a score of 1-0.
After the game, Don Mattingly voiced his displeasure with the umpires quick ejection of Lopez and called it “disappointing.” He likewise accused Mike Soroka of “100%” intentionally throwing at and breaking Peter OBriens ribs during the 2018 season. (The HBP in concern in fact took place in 2019).

The Braves and Marlins will continue their series on Saturday afternoon with Kyle Muller and Sandy Alcantara– who struck Acuña with a pitch during in 2015s NLDS– on the mound at 4:05 p.m. ET.

Things intensified rapidly in between the Braves and Marlins on Friday evening as Miami starter Pablo Lopez was ejected after just one pitch. Lopez drilled Ronald Acuña Jr. in the arm– the 6th time Miamis pitching personnel has actually hit Acuña Jr. with a pitch in his short career– and after a conversation amongst the umpires, Lopez was ejected.
Heres the consequences of Lopezs ejection if you missed out on the program on Friday night.
