"Moreno is a consensus top-10 prospect in all of baseball; that kind of player being dealt is incredibly rare." Ozuna finished the night 3-for-5, with three home runs and six runs batted in, to lead Atlanta to a 10-3 victory. "That’s the age we’re in. I see the highlights. I see guys strutting around and doing this and that. It doesn’t even faze me anymore. Where we’re at in the game, I better deal with it because it’s not going away." In the bottom of the eighth inning of the Braves' 5-0 win vs. the Reds in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series on Thursday afternoon, Marcell Ozuna came to the plate with Atlanta leading by a run with a runner on first. Ozuna decided that the selfie was going to be the big final celebration, but for every Braves fan out there, they were just happy to see him put his feet on home plate to extend the lead.
However, in a recent interview with Jeff Schultz ofThe Athletic,Alex Anthopoulos left the door open to parting ways with Ozuna in some capacity. This mindset has trickled into the high school and college baseball and softball ranks, where sluggers have taken these moments of showmanship to the next level. This is the Braves' team-wide celebration, so the home run probably wouldn't have counted if he forgot to include this.
Conforto signs two-year, $36M deal with Giants
In 13 games with 45 at-bats, Ozuna has posted a .222 average with one home run. His .695 OPS and other metrics are on par with what we saw him produce with the Braves last year, which isn’t encouraging. The Braves have an absolute black hole in left field, and I’m not sure getting rid of Ozuna will fix it. Sure, they might have some pocket change to fill the void if they get his contract off the books. But given the Braves’ needs and their payroll situation, it’s very possible Ozuna is on the 2023 Opening Day roster. "There’s no indication Austin bet on NFL games as a coach but bet on other sports..."
And then he hit another homer, which was a particularly incredible blast. That was certainly true when Adam Duvall hit another two-run shot later that same inning to build the lead out to 5-0. Though he didn't pause mid-trot to snap his photo, he got it going once he was back in the dugout with the rest of the team. Sources have confirmed media reports that federal criminal police purchased and used the controversial Israeli surveillance spyware despite lawyers' objections.

When Trevor Bauer was lifted after having thrown 7 2/3 shutout innings in Game 1, he did one of the "tomahawk chops" that Braves fans are known for as he exited the field. That most certainly didn't sit well with Atlanta's players, so when Ozuna went deep to end Cincinnati's season, he made sure to really savor it. When Raisel Iglesias tried to sneak an 0-1 fastball by Ozuna, the Braves slugger crushed it into the left-field seats. Considering that the Reds had set a postseason record for failing to score in 21 consecutive innings , it's the kind of dagger that ended Cincinnati's postseason hopes with one swing. As Ozuna rounded first base, he appeared to do a slightly awkward, almost-limping version of Deion Sanders' famous high step celebration. Obviously, this is a nod to the former two-sport star and Atlanta Braves great -- Sanders hit .277 and stole 75 bases in his four seasons with Atlanta.
"Only when we bring all the puzzle pieces of a threat together does the threat become identifiable," he told the judges. Simon Egbert, sociologist and predictive policing researcher at Bielefeld University, thinks that is the key problem, especially as Hessendata is being searched 14,000 times per year by the police. "The critical public has problems even forming an opinion about what is actually happening," he told DW. Freddie Freeman had one hit with three strikeouts — including a bases-loaded whiff to end the seventh — in the second game of his much-anticipated return to Atlanta.
Report: Rogers teams up with twin brother on Giants
Dodgers RHP Tony Gonsolin (9-0, 1.58) will put his unbeaten record on the line when he faces Braves rookie RHP Spencer Strider (3-2, 3.40) in Sunday night's final game of the weekend series. A three-man crew of umpires started the game before Alex MacKay, a late fill-in, arrived in the fourth inning. MacKay was summoned when Cory Blaser could not work the game for medical reasons.
Judges have said recording activity on the road would exceed police powers. Another thing that troubles Egbert is how the Hesse government went about changing its policing law to suit the software. "I do think it's quite questionable that a government decides it wants to use certain software and then just changes policing laws – of course with the required parliamentary majority," he said. "And now four years later it's in Karlsruhe, where the first more or less independent people decide whether that is legal or not." As it stands, Thiel argued, "the rules do not allow the police to use AI systems to continually monitor citizens in order to create personality profiles at some point in the future," he said. "It's nothing like 'Minority Report,' where you want to predict crimes. The law requires the police to already have information that there is a threat."

There are also fears that the program can use AI techniques to racially profile potential offenders. Complaints about racial profiling — and far-right sympathies among officers — have plagued the German police, especially in Hesse. What exactly the program can and can't do, and what it can legally be used for, was the subject of Tuesday's hearing, and yet remains unclear — mainly because little is publicly known about the software. Cody Bellinger had a run-scoring single off Fried as the Dodgers scored two runs in the seventh. Graterol faltered in his first opportunity to show he can take a more important role in the back of the Dodgers' bullpen after Daniel Hudson's season-ending knee injury was confirmed before the game. More than likely, the Braves will have to eat most, if not all, of the money still owed to him over the next two seasons, which might not seem attractive.
The 2020 NL MVP with the Braves appeared more relaxed after his emotional return Friday when he received his 2021 World Series championship ring in a pregame ceremony. The Braves outfielder backed up that claim with his biggest hit of the season. There’s a chance we see some positive regression and get a version of Ozuna that is closer to his 2020 campaign, but if his performance in the Dominican Winter League is any indication, it’s not likely.
Braves left-hander Max Fried allowed six hits with nine strikeouts and one walk in 6 2/3 innings. Former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen struck out the side in the ninth, including throwing a game-ending fastball past Trea Turner, for his 19th save. Dodgers designated hitter Will Smith tied the game at 3 with a homer to left field off A.J. The Marcell Ozuna contract is one of the worst deals in baseball and a hideous wart on Alex Anthopoulos’ resumé. After nearly capturing the Triple Crown, Ozuna signed a lucrative four-year, $65 million contract to stay with the Braves. Ozuna has accrued -0.9 fWAR because of his abysmal defense, .222 batting average, and .675 OPS since signing that deal.
When others are watching game film of upcoming pitchers, I assume Ozuna is watching old highlights to figure out home run celebrations. "In other words, when you do a search, you can only really tell afterward whether the search was justified or not," he said. Braves reliever Will Smith gave up Austin Barnes' run-scoring single to right, cutting Atlanta's lead to 3-2 before walking Turner to load the bases. Smith struck out Freeman to end the inning in the rematch of the past two NL championship series. Ozuna was limited to 48 games in 2021 due to an injury and his May 29 arrest on charges of aggravated assault by strangulation and battery.
Ever since debuting this one against the Reds in the Wild Card Series, the Braves have been celebrating home runs by taking "selfies" in the dugout. So, he paused around third base, waited for third-base coach Ron Washington to pop his head into frame, and snapped the pic. Though "Hessendata," adapted from the Gotham program developed by the US company Palantir, is not yet in use in Hamburg, it is already being used extensively by the Hesse police since 2017.
White was added to the rotation after left-hander Andrew Heaney was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with left shoulder inflammation. ATLANTA — Marcell Ozuna says he's beginning to see evidence of his work to regain his timing at the plate after missing most of last season. Ozuna's team wound up losing on Sunday to end their season, but his home run celebration will probably remain a topic of discussion. But let's not fault the kid for showing some damn emotion in baseball. He's an infielder for Wayland Baptist University, and he hit one of the biggest home runs of his life on Saturday against Oklahoma City University. Later in the inning, Adam Duvall connected on a two-run home run of his own to put the game out of reach.
MLB has conducted interleague play since 1997, and it's taken this long for a player from the senior circuit to hit three home runs in a game at Fenway. Coincidentally, the Braves in their Boston days called Fenway home on a temporary basis for parts of the 1913, 1914, and 1915 seasons, but back in the deadball era three-homer games were even more of a rarity. Ozuna also becomes the first visiting player to homer three times in a game at Fenway since Mark Teixeira of the Yankees in 2010. German football fans are often labeled violent, despite decreasing rates of football-related offenses. New police data reveals the extent to which the authorities keep track of supporters, infringing their civil rights.
