The Atlanta Braves won a baseball game by a score of 20-1 on Friday. Had it not been for an intervention by manager Bryan Snitker, it would have been even sillier.
With the Braves up 19-1 in the eighth inning thanks to a home run onslaught, Ronald Acuña Jr. walked out of the dugout preparing for his sixth plate appearance of the game. The game was so out of hand, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Wilmer Difo was on the mound trying to eat an inning for the team's bullpen.
Acuña apparently wanted to even the playing field against the position player pitcher, so he donned a left-handed batter's helmet, which Snitker quickly vetoed:
Ronnie tried to hit left-handed with a 19-run lead.
