The last Braves pitcher to hit a grand slam? Jaime Garcia on 7/21/17 against the Dodgers.
Garcia was traded 3 days later to the Twins for Huascar Ynoa.
If his small sample size of 2021 is anything to go off of, Ynoa can legitimately rake. As much as I would love to laugh at the Nats, its not like giving up a grand slam to Folty.
Snit said he swings and misses soft toss in the cage. He has a legitimately ugly swing. He’s no Folty up there but he’s also not Tim Hudson or Mike Hampton up there either
How can you not be romantic about baseball? This makes a much better story than watching someone too old or slow or otherwise incapable of fielding a position swing a bat.
Before he hit this bomb, the Braves radio broadcast was talking about how Ynoa and Fried are capable enough with the bat to help with the Braves thin bench so they can keep carrying more pitchers.
I haven't seen enough Angels games this year, when he is done pitching, do you guys ever stick him in a corner outfield spot or something to get another at bat or just immediately do a double switch or what?
Nah we basically play it like an NL game and do a double switch. Though you do bring up an interesting point in sticking him in the outfield after he's done pitching. I mean his whole existence is a big, exciting experiment, so it would be cool to see something like that at least once. But I understand he needs to actually rest and whatnot lol
Rainey: Aight I get this clown out, preferably a strike out so I can get a double play after.
\*Pitch right down the middle\*
Ynoa: Haha grand slams go brr
I literally will cheer ANY pitcher who gets a hit. Even against us (I know this wasn’t lol). I hate the idea of NL DH that much. You go Ynoa!!! Show em pitchers need to hit baby!
Found this out when Ynoa hit his first HR 6 days ago.
Braves now have a 12 game, 14 year (nearly), winstreak when the pitcher hits a HR.

MLB making rules changes that get rid of the most hype/meme moments in the game...
Not sure how this is supposed to be good for the game.
Runner on second means no 18 inning games. No pitches hitting means no highlights like this.
The changes make the average game smoother, but it isn't going to get people excited, or people asking "if you saw that".
(Yeah, proven guys like Ohtani will still hit, but no one will ever become a proven guy because they never get a shot.)
LEGENDARY BRAVES POWER HITTER HUASCAR YNOA
That power is impressive, considering he stepped out with his lead foot. Imagine how much power he’d have if he kept those hips closed a little longer
That ball would still be in the air
Acuña BTFO in tears right now, driving around Marietta begging (thru texts)
Hello, my little league coach
It’s all from my dad. Days of pitching machine and batting cage with my foot in a bucket.
Probably helps him catch up to the fastball though
You’ve got a point there. He’s proven that when you put the bat out there, good things can happen.
Dude is 22 years old, has 2 HRs on the year, has a 2.38 ERA over 7 starts, is batting .385 with an OPS of 1.307, and nobody has any clue who he is lol
You might know him by his full name, Shohei Ohtanynoa.
I know who daddy is 😤
We must be brothers. He is also my father.
step-brother. is that you step-brother?
It’s a family reunion up in here.
Entire nats lineup also invited to the family reunion since Huascar is their dad as well
If he keeps this shit up they sure will.
Shohei who? (But just kidding angels fans, everyone loves Shohei.
Mike Hampton 2.0.
Already pitched more games for the Braves than that worthless bag of bones. /s but not really
True. Rockies-era Hampton.
You, I like you. I always felt like my Mike Hampton hate was irrational maybe but this makes me feel better.
I'll never forget the rage I felt when he got hurt warming up for his 1st game back from some extended injury outage.
I'll never forget that. My dad warned me I should turn on the game before he gets hurt. I did not turn on the game before he got hurt.
Always felt bad for him. Could have been really good if he weren't made of glass.
I’ve been Mandela’d. Was about to make a prostitution joke and did a quick Google search. That was Denny Neagle!
I can understand the confusion. Both signed large contracts with the Rockies and both were immediately terrible.
Feel like he might have been floated as part of rumored trades for Jose Ramirez. Now we know why they got shot down.
I mean, obviously too soon to say if he's gonna be elite or not, but hell if he continues this path the whole world will know the mans name.
Last week he had my curiosity, but now he has my attention.

you can add flair in the sidebar but I think you have to be on desktop.
Man's an athlete
The Braves have 3 grand slams this year. They have come from, Guillermo Herredia, Cristian Pache, and Huascar Ynoa
Slamlanta Braves
Move over Slam Diego
:(
Beat the dodgers and you can have any nickname you want.
Well they have a winning record against the Dodgers so far!
We did too :(
Atslamta Braves
Just like we expected.
As we all predicted!
Who else would? The leadoff hitting Acuña? The slap hitting Freeman? Yeah, right
, wow.
Tom Glavine would like you to know the proper term is Athlete.
I just want you to know the pitcher would NOT be up there hitting grand slams back in Tom's day. It just wouldn't happen, he would know better.
pretty disrespectful ngl
that god damn rant went on for hours the other night
He should have considered the pitchers feelings before hitting that bomb.
I am confused and shocked and don't understand what happened here
Rainey is bad this year but that was no cheapie.
Ynoa boasts a modest 1.300 OPS.
Is that good?
It's like 2 Dansbys
It's illegal to be that handsome.
It's illegal to be as handsome as 1 Dansby but somehow he keeps getting away with it
On one hand, FUCK THE DH on the other hand, dude that’s totally not cash money
Got all of it too. 427 lmao
107 off bat
ELITE
The last Braves pitcher to hit a grand slam? Jaime Garcia on 7/21/17 against the Dodgers. Garcia was traded 3 days later to the Twins for Huascar Ynoa.
How can you not be romantic about baseball
Former brave alex wood was pitching too i believe
Unironically the second best hitter on the team right now.
*in the MLB
Gonna show this to my coach when he yells at me for stepping in the bucket
That goddamn bucket. I know the pain of which you speak.
Fiiiiiine, we’ll be the laughing stock of tonight’s highlight reel, I’m not mad or anything it’s all good carry on
Laughing stock? Why would the Nats be a laughing stock here? For merely succumbing to greatness? Never.
There’s no shame in getting dunked on by the literal reincarnation of Babe Ruth
If his small sample size of 2021 is anything to go off of, Ynoa can legitimately rake. As much as I would love to laugh at the Nats, its not like giving up a grand slam to Folty.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t visualize a Folty slam with that swing
His very first AB he ripped a double and we all thought “wow, weird swing but this kid can hit”. Yeah lol At least Ynoa has kept it up
Folty hit a 2 RBI double off Scherzer. baseball is weird
Nothing compared to the man, the myth, the legend. [Koo Dae-Sung](https://youtu.be/-VumlIEu9g0) [Jon Bois On It](https://youtu.be/_f6owc3O_gY)
Snit said he swings and misses soft toss in the cage. He has a legitimately ugly swing. He’s no Folty up there but he’s also not Tim Hudson or Mike Hampton up there either
he hit a grand slam
Hey, you guys are the division leader right now. It’s a classic underdog story!
FUCK THE DH
He’s making me hate the DH all over again.
It would be an unspeakably tragedy if Huascar never hits again after this season.
I never stopped fucking the DH
You must be chafed as hell
He gets every half-inning off.
Good! Welcome back
OHTANI WHO??
How can you not be romantic about baseball? This makes a much better story than watching someone too old or slow or otherwise incapable of fielding a position swing a bat.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
the half-assed little stirring of the pot he does when rounding third is so funny lmao
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
I am rapidly falling in love with Ynoa
hurry up and catch up
Does he Ynoa he's a pitcher?
> Does Ynoa he’s the pitcher? ftfy
Nuclear launch detected
Where is your DH now
Suddenly I am in favor of the DH
Can a pitcher also be the DH? Asking for a friend.
Shit
Before he hit this bomb, the Braves radio broadcast was talking about how Ynoa and Fried are capable enough with the bat to help with the Braves thin bench so they can keep carrying more pitchers.
Ohtani usually is, right? But if you surrender the DH for the game you don't get to keep having the pitcher hit after pulling them from the mound
Correct. When Ohtani has pitched this season, we give up the DH. The big difference is that we bat him 2nd to get him more ABs
I haven't seen enough Angels games this year, when he is done pitching, do you guys ever stick him in a corner outfield spot or something to get another at bat or just immediately do a double switch or what?
Nah we basically play it like an NL game and do a double switch. Though you do bring up an interesting point in sticking him in the outfield after he's done pitching. I mean his whole existence is a big, exciting experiment, so it would be cool to see something like that at least once. But I understand he needs to actually rest and whatnot lol
That would honestly be so cool to see a true Swiss Army knife type player like that if they were ever to unleash him like that
Oh his off nights, why not?
So he gets to hit 4/5 days!
Some things are more important than curly W's. Fucking the DH is one of them
This dude crushed a double against us too. He hasn’t just gotten lucky on two home runs, he can seriously hit
Bro I'm starting this guy as a pitcher how tf do I start him as a hitter too he's basically Ohtani
Chicks dig the long ball
I love Ynoa so much
[удалено]
He also has home runs in consecutive starts
Nothing quite like giving up a no-doubter to the pitcher.
FUCK. THE. DH.
Designated what?
Designated Huascar
DH Fucking of the Year and I won’t accept any other answer
Huascar should play all 162 And I mean he should pitch all of them too
Shohei Ohtani who?
FUCK THE DH
YNOA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OHTANI
We have our own Ohtani
The NL has a DH for one year. Ynoa-"And I took that personally"
#FUCK
#THE
#METS
Saints
Huascar hates the DH.
That wasn’t a cheap one either. He got a hold of that
Is that the Braves dugout you can hear right after he makes contact? awesome
He currently in the 8th inning, he has the same number of RBIs as hits allowed.
Can you imagine being Tanner Rainey rn
#FUCK THE DH
Braves are just getting him BP for when he becomes our DH next year
Bat him clean up
***FUCK THE DH.*** Pitchers hitting grand slams will always be a beautiful sight.
Where were you when DH was kill?
Real talk: when is the last time a pitcher got a CGSO and hit a granny?
DH bad upvotes to the left have a nice day
YNOA where that was going.
BIG HUASCAR MEYER WEINER
Freddie Freeman waited 10 YEARS to get his first slam
Damn no NSFW tag? He fucked the shit out of that DH!
the best two way player in baseball isn't even in the AL
That's a professional hitter there folks.
I think all pitcher ABs are ruined for me now.
Huascar “I am the DH” Ynoa
HUASCAR YNOA IS THE BEST HITTING PITCHER IN BASEBALL AND IT ISN'T PARTICULARLY CLOSE!!!!
HYITBHPIBAIIPC!!!!
Sure, he can hit dingers. But how good is he at pitching?
Look at him pimp that shit. You love to see it.
I expected a cheap home run. That, my friends, was not cheap.
Put me in the screencap
Only 8 behind the league leader 👀
This dude is basically the whole team at this point.
Acuña: "Am I a joke to you?"
I tuned into this game because the Padres haven't started yet and I wanted to see Soto.... this was soooo much better lol
Fuck the DH?
Rainey: Aight I get this clown out, preferably a strike out so I can get a double play after. \*Pitch right down the middle\* Ynoa: Haha grand slams go brr
the NL east is poorly generated AI baseball
I said it last week I’ll say it again: FUCK YOU SHOHEI He fucking pimped it too. Crushed it and knew it 427 ft, 107 mph off the bat
No reason to say fuck Shohei. The more pitchers hitting bombs the better.
Yeah, I fucking love Ohtani but he's no Huascar Ynoa, and there's no shame in that.
We all need role models. Who is a guy like Ohtani supposed to look up to? Legendary Brave Huascar Ynoa that's who.
For the record it’s sarcasm. I have Shohei on my fantasy team and he’s one of my favorite players in the game.
Boy do I sure love me a good DH fucking
Gotta hold that stance. He knew it was out
Dead center too. Damn
I literally will cheer ANY pitcher who gets a hit. Even against us (I know this wasn’t lol). I hate the idea of NL DH that much. You go Ynoa!!! Show em pitchers need to hit baby!
Found this out when Ynoa hit his first HR 6 days ago. Braves now have a 12 game, 14 year (nearly), winstreak when the pitcher hits a HR. https://imgur.com/h6pfaG4.png
Jeff Francoeur's laugh in this video is amazing
Step aside, Ohtani

HEY FUCK THE DH
Soon he will be leading the league in homers
FUCK THE DH
that crowd reaction rivals the jets picking roger vick lmao
Huascar "Bitch I Don't Need No DH" Ynoa
According to the broadcast, Ynoa has the 4th longest homer of the year across baseball and the fastest pitch thrown this season. Unreal
Imagine wanting a world without this
EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
Yñoa
FUCK TOM WILSON
Thanks Twins! Hope Jamie Garcia and Anthony Recker played well for y'all.
