It was a stunning memory of what the brave was missing-and maybe a sign of what will come.When the crowd broke out in pure joy, Acuña celebrated Morant with an allusion to the NBA star, by hurling his characteristic “grenade celebration”, who hurled imaginary words and excluded the noise. The move was not just a tribute – it was a message. Like Morant, Acuña has apologized as an unapologist. Regardless of whether it is his boasting, his showmanship or even public spad with his manager on social media, Acuña was never afraid of stirring the pot.During his recovery, he criticized some – including the former brave Jeff Francoeur – who implied that the team did not need him. But on Friday Acuña answered without a word. The highly towering Homer and the explosive return shaken doubts and put the hope back on a brave offensive that had to struggle. Atlanta went into the game, presented a record of 24 to 25 and drove the division with 7.5 games.The timing of Acuña's return could not be more critical. Since the season is approaching, the braves need a spark. And if there were a hint on Friday evening, Acuña may only be the fire starter that this team urgently needs. As Morant once said: “I will take my words, I'll throw it out there and then I will block the noise.” Acuña not only repeated these words – he lived them.Read also: When does Ronald Acuña bring his long -awaited good back and what effects could it have?
