First big rumble of the season? It belongs to the age old rivals … the Braves and the Angels?
Apparently old friend Jorge Soler took exception to a high Reynaldo Lopez pitch and that was it. Soler was trying to END him:

— Talkin' Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) April 8, 2026The two were teammates in Atlanta for half of a season back in 2024, so I don’t know if there was some kind of bad blood there, but whew. Soler was MAD. Another view:

— BravesVision (@BravesVisionTV) April 8, 2026There was some real intent there, and I suspect Soler is going to be missing some games soon. Lopez, too, potentially, as he was also ejected. Not exactly sure what else he was supposed to do, but I also don’t know what exactly precipitated Soler’s explosion. I presume it was the earlier HBP and then the high throw, but was there intent on either one? I suppose he didn’t need to chuck the ball at Soler in close range after Soler started throwing haymakers.
Best part in all of this – did you catch 62-year-old Braves manager Walt Weiss going in for the form tackle in the middle of the scrum:
