That was also the fastest pitch José Ureña has ever thrown to open a game.
This means there was intent.
Disgusting and pathetic are words to describe what Jose Ureña did, L to the entire Marlins organization. @Braves #chopon

Jose Urena should be suspended 10 games. That's 2 starts.

Jose Urena and Don Mattingly should each be suspended 30 games MINIMUM for yesterday’s disgusting display. Do the right thing, @MLB, and show you won’t stand for this nonsense. #Marlins #Braves #mlb
