And to follow up on that. I think that's fair. We're all saying it looked like he hit him on purpose, but can we really claim to know that? How do we know he wasn't just trying to pitch tight and inside, which is perfectly fine, and something you generally want to do to someone hitting as well as Acuna, and the pitch slid away more than he expected? And even if he was being more cavalier in not caring about hitting him, by cutting it close inside, we shouldn't really have any reason to think he was aiming for a certain part of his body. Like, maybe he was. But really, I think probably not.

After thinking about all this more, I don't really think it was as intentional as we all made it out to be. Still, I'd be pissed if I were a Braves fan, and as a baseball fan, I'm upset that it happened, and perhaps Urena needs to learn to control his pitches more before he risks pitching inside that much - but I think he just tried to brush him back, pitch close, and have a mindset of "if it hits him, it hits him" while not actively trying to hit him, just not caring if he did, figuring if it did, it probably wouldn't hurt him. He fucked up.
