Trevor Bauer responded on Twitter after being trolled by Ronald Acuña Jr. on Thursday.
Acuña’s Atlanta Braves knocked off Bauer’s Cincinnati Reds on Thursday 5-0 in Game 2 of their NL Wild Card Series to advance to the NLDS.
After the win, Acuña trolled Bauer on Twitter. He posted a GIF of Marc Gasol doing a goofy Vince McMahon/Conor McGregor walk. His caption was “Goooo homeeeee.”

Bauer, who pitched 7.2 scoreless innings in Game 1 and took a no-decision, shared his response. He created a video showing him striking out Acuña and all the other Braves players as part of his 12-strikeout effort.

The video was humorous, and even Acuña appreciated it. The young Braves star responded and said Bauer was “funny.”
Hahahahahhahahhaa you funny bro

Acuña went 1-for-6 in Game 1 of the series but was 1-for-3 with a double against Bauer. That’s more than respectable. Also, Acuña’s double was the hardest hit ball off Bauer all season.
We appreciate the back-and-forth between the two star players. Maybe this will be Bauer’s new Twitter sparring opponent.
