GDT: 10/6 Braves vs Marlins Game 1 NLDS

Glad to see hitting Acuna cost them a couple runs. Alcantara should have been ejected though. If intent was clear enough to issue a warning there, it's clear enough to toss Alcantara. Either eject him or no warnings.
 
Zero reason to purposely hit Acuna or any Braves player. Marlins had momentum from the top half of the inning. You don’t put on the lead off man in a playoff game with Freeman and company to follow.

Regular season you can expect it happen and it has. Not in the post season.
 
It's really hard for me (Italian) to understand these things (hitting a player on purpose on a game that counts).
Here a pro team would probably fine the player, or trade him, for damaging the team.
