Pedro Martínez offers Ronald Acuña Jr. support after home boos

Pedro Shares a Heartfelt Message to Ronald Acuńa Jr. ❤️
The boos aren't the whole story. After Ronald Acuña Jr. was booed at home during the National League Division Series, TNT Sports US posted support from its baseball panel, including a separate message from Pedro Martínez.
That message drew about 44,000 views in its first day, more than ten times the channel's usual start for a regular video. The discussion was unusually busy, too, with comments arriving dozens of times faster than usual.
Viewers single out Martínez's affectionate Spanish address to Acuña and describe the exchange as an older player's encouragement to a younger one. One says the emotion came through even without understanding the words. Others explain that Acuña remains their favorite player regardless of his performance, or express a wish for him to spend his entire career with Atlanta.
Martínez's message wasn't the channel's only baseball upload drawing attention. Its Brewers-Dodgers NLCS preview attracted a similarly large first-day audience. But alongside the postseason analysis, TNT Sports US also made room for Curtis Granderson, Jimmy Rollins and Martínez to support Acuña in the companion clip “The Guys Show Love To Acuña ❤️.”
