Who knows, maybe that will spark the Braves to a first place finish in the NL East (dreaming)!

It was a mild plunking, but message received I guess.

From what I read, the pitch, and the brush back that proceeded it, were the two hardest pitches Teheran has thrown in two years. I think the Braves were probably more pissed about the Freeman injury than the bat flip although Bautista is an obvious target.
