Orlando Arcia unleashed the most dramatic scream after taking Ball 3 and MLB fans loved it

Not much was going right for the Atlanta Braves early on in Tuesday’s Game 1 of the NLDS against the Phillies. But as it tends to go in postseason baseball, the slightest moment can be enough to tip the scales of momentum.

But a celebration for taking a third ball? You don’t see that happen too often.

After the Braves had scored two runs in the fifth inning to cut the score to 7-3, Orlando Arcia was at the plate and looking to put more pressure on the Phillies. Then, in an attempt to rattle Connor Brogdon and fire up his dugout, Arcia screamed and posed while avoiding a high-and-tight third ball.

And when I say, he screamed, I really mean it.

When you’re down big in a playoff game, a high-energy player like that is essential. At the same time, though, you better get on base after celebrating a third ball. And that’s exactly what Arcia did: He reached on a walk.

Though he’d end up getting stranded on base, fans loved that moment from Arcia. He was fired up.

This was how Twitter reacted

The Braves are going to need more of that energy for this series.
