The Braves’ longtime radio voice wasn’t particularly happy with star Ronald Acuna’s effort on a key play in the loss that ended the club’s season. <\/p>\n
Phillies catcher JT Realmuto hit an inside-the-park home run in the third inning to extend the Philadelphia’s lead over the Atlanta Braves to 4-1 in Saturday’s 8-3 clincher in NLDS Game 4 at Citizens Bank Park. <\/p>\n\n
Braves radio analyst Joe Simpson, who’s been on the franchise’s radio team since 1992 and played for the Dodgers, Mariners, and Royals, ripped into Atlanta right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr.<\/a> for not backing up the play after the ball ricocheded off the wall and got away from center fielder Michael Harris II.<\/p>\n \u201cHorrible play, lazy play on the part of Ronald,\u201d Simpson said right after Realmuto crossed the plate. \u201cHe was a spectator, he never moved, he never even made a move to right-center field. The ball came off the wall towards right-center and then he started that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
