Say his name properly. He’s “Ozuna from the Braves” 💪🏾💯

[@David-ig5rz]

That was an A+ call by Ben Ingram 😂

[@kaleloz2868]

[@DAWGBONEJACK]

That's right fellow Braves fan. Put some Respect on Ozuna's name 😂

[@jimsmith9379]

So refreshing to see that the MLB commentators haven’t turned into other sports talk shows arguing the dumbest takes. Analysis like these are what make sports so interesting. MLB Now has some of the best in any sport. Not just a bunch of arguing and nonsense

[@rolltide103188]

This is the 2020 Marcell Ozuna the Braves were counting on all year. He makes this lineup so much deeper giving Olson some protection

[@SoundFX09]

THE BIG BEAR FOR COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR! From a Liability in April to A FEROCIOUS BEAST IN AUGUST! And all it took was One Thing: IMPROVING PLATE DISCIPLINE! In April, his ABs were 1-3 Pitches.... He's Up to 5-6 Pitches Per AB in August! And Yet Again... Just ONE Piece of the COMPLETE PUZZLE that is THE ATLANTA BRAVES!

[@jaydenjones4709]

Yea the optics on that just wouldn’t look good

[@pavan5272]

Comeback from what?

[@jovannybecerra1731]

finally ozuna gets some love

[@DubCmusicTV]

His post-break numbers almost already match his pre-break numbers

[@Coreyy12]

Ozuna from the Braves is the difference between this team and the team that won 101 games last year. Last year we got pretty much NOTHING outta him and was 2 seconds away from being DFA’d. He’s revitalized his career and just lengthens the lineup even more than was dangerous LAST year without him. If he can keep this going in the postseason, man good luck containing this lineup

[@beefchuck]

Ozuna so clutch 🔥, October ready 💯

[@charlesjohnson536]

THE RED 🔥 MARCELL OZUNA#20 .. LET'S GO BRAVES!! ..

[@Dom-pc7ec]

I defended Ozuna the whole time, some never gave him a chance

[@ggum673]

there was no plausible defense for his play early this year… fyi. not sure if you were watching the games

[@MalikAli-yv5dt]

Great analysis!! Chop on Big Bear!!

[@Lance-Stroll]

Im a braves fan and he's good now, but he's streaky. Hope it continues

[@kurtiswright4798]

Since May he has hit almost .300 with 28 homers. He has been hot for 4 months

[@Arientis]

That grand slam against the marlins back at the beginning of May was the turning point for Ozuna. I knew he just needs one big swing and a big day to turn it around. Give Ozuna of the Braves NL Comeback Player of the Year!

[@thebaddest5680]

I remember the beginning of the season Braves fans screaming trade him send him down AA once again proves to be a mastermind let’s him play through it and MY GOD! The man has been playing lights out EAT YOUR WORDS BRAVES FANS

[@flexr642]

I know right? It was annoying hearing that from Braves fans. Also sarcastically clapping when he would finally get a hit. Even the best of players go on slumps but they work hard and come back. My guy Ozuna with the 🪓 ⚾️

[@doc8013]

​@@flexr642wait, why was that annoying? He was one of the worst players in the league over the past 2 seasons and he was making big time money. It was only right that fans were calling for a trade. I'm super glad he turned it around for us but man, fans were absolutely right to want him gone.

[@flexr642]

@@doc8013 I hear you. But me personally, as a fan, I’m not going to boo one of my guys. Chalk it up to the beers talking, maybe, but don't knock a guy when he's down. The same fans booing are the same fans cheering for him now, and that's fine, I guess. Anyway, looking forward to the series against LA. Go Braves 🪓

Sosa is such a good comp.

[@squirreljam2240]

Snitker blocked out all the noise and stuck with Ozuna. He knows/sees how well liked he is by all of his teammates. Imagine pitching to this lineup there is no easy outs.

All these lames with their negative comments about Ozuna, smh. Maybe put some of that energy into improving yourself instead. Just a thought.

[@samurai_8917]

I can improve myself and call out trash when i see it, believe it or not those two things arent exclusive!

[@fullcircle8231]

@samurai_8917 if you call out trash when you see it... how come you've yet to call yourself out🥱 in this comment section slandering him when you don't even have the facts correct💀🤡 and let's be honest... the closest you come to "improving yourself" is getting your nappy hair cut every two months... now quit acting a shit-stain lol

[@corintheusstalling8768]

Player of the month then right they didn’t give him player of the week award

[@kaleloz2868]

Big Bear is hungry Something to prove

[@austinz3300]

Robbed of his NL Player of the Week Award!!!

[@luiss.3866]

Last year all braves fans wanted him out of the team. Now not so much

[@TwiggyGames24]

Finally SOME RECOGNITION for ozuna bro I get he is kinda controversial but Jesus bros been playing out of his mind😭

[@fr_prinz]

marcell ozuna is my uncle.

[@Tonyconstanza]

El oso ozuna it sounds much better in Spanish then “the big bear”

[@NomadHokie]

Looks like he's swinging a whiffle ball bat. How strong is this guy?

[@Sportsproduction222]

He is swinging a toothpick

[@dher1592]

Braves fans wanted him gone now they love him lmfao 🤡🤡🤡

[@nahigottagiveeveryonerespect]

He was batting below his DUI number. He absolutely deserved to be shit on at the beginning of the year.

[@brandonb9468]

The guy pausing and starting probably quit after this dbag kept demanding him to run it or pause

Have you seen his numbers? He got a dui. Bad, but he’s surely not the only one. He also beat domestic violence case in GA, a state notoriously hard to beat a DV in.

I don't think you know what platforming is. The baseball field is his platform, and he's there every night mashing baseballs whether MLB Network acknowledges it or not.

@@Tonyconstanza if by "beating the case" you mean he pleaded guilty and served his sentence, then yeah...he "beat" the case like he beat his wife...it still happened.

[@fullcircle8231]

@joejackson9986 it's always fun watching bitches like you scream about that... yet none of you ever mention the fact that his wife has also been arrested for assaulting him. She's not some innocent victim... it's quite clear to see they're a toxic partnership. Are those good, not at all. But it's a far cry from an abusive relationship where one person holds all the power and anger towards the other.
