All five fans of the Miami Marlins should be absolutely ashamed of their organization right now. Ronald Acuña Jr. gets nailed with a 97 mph fastball deliberately on the first pitch of the game.
By a pitcher sitting at 3-12 on the season.
League should suspend him 20 games .
That may be the most bush league beaning in MLB history
It's uncalled for and unprofessional. Blame the umps for not throwing the guy out as he was barking at Acuna for no reason after he's in agony. Sometimes baseball is just stupid.

They did throw him out.

From what I read he wasn't tossed after he hit him and the benches cleared. But things sparked up before he had a chance to throw the second pitch, as Acuna tossed his shin guard towards the mound.

Jose Ureña suspended six games for hitting Acuña. So, basically one start, and not necessarily even one start if they just push back his turn back a couple of days. What a ####ing joke

Should have been at least 15 games, probably 20
This was the most non sensical beaning I’ve ever seen.

Surprised to not see any love for the Rangers insane triple play last night. First time in 106 years that there was a triple play and the batter was not one of the outs!

It's ridiculous that MLB hasn't put a rule in place where starting pitcher's suspensions are based on their scheduled starts.
I guess the problem with that is if a starting pitcher is suspended for 5 starts, he is actually not getting paid for 25 games, which is a harsher penalty than other 5 game suspensions?

Not sure the announcers explained it properly. Once the 3rd baseman short-hops it and steps on 3rd. Can the guy at 3rd (Ward) stay on that base or does he have to go home?

After Profar stepped on the bag the runner was no longer obligated to go home due to a force play.
The runner from first was still obligated to go to second. So Calhoun was being lazy and hence why the Angels even with Trout are still no good.
I accidentally did something like this in slowpitch playing third years ago. Had a sharp hit ball right at the bag with the bases loaded. I tagged the runner at third first, than stepped on the bag and threw to first....of course the player umps from the previous game had no clue, and only ruled the person at first out.
I once had another play in fastpitch soft ball where I dropped a hard hit line drive with the bases loaded. Turned out to be a good idea because with the runners frozen and the batter pretty much stopping...it was an easy triple play made by accident.

In his first 132 career games, Jacob deGrom has allowed zero or one run 60x, most of any pitcher to start a career since 1913. (Kershaw is second with 56 games.)
deGrom's streak of 22 straight starts of three runs or fewer is also tied for fifth-longest in a season since 1950.
It’s sad he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves by the national media due to the team he pitches for.
