In the latest episode of Plákata Nation, Carlos Peña, Rodney Peña and Jesus Ortiz celebrate the return of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.
Acuña hit a home run in his first at-bat since coming off the injured list, and he celebrated in the most Latino way with plenty of joy and antics.
Some old school fans may not like Acuña's celebrations, but the Plakata Nation crew loved it.
Carlos Peña, Rodney Peña and Jesus Ortiz explained how Latinos bring passion into everything in life. Whether it's a family discussion or on the baseball diamond, we're loud and proud.
"We're not arguing. We're Dominicans," Carlos Peña noted as an example of how we as Latinos bring the loud sazon to everything.
The crew also discussed how guys such as Mets star Francisco Lindor and Red Sox manager Alex Cora had breakfast a night after Lindor playfully encouraged the umpires to eject Cora during a heated moment. Brothers off the field can give each other grief on the field without making it personal.

The crew also praised the impressive seasons Isaac Paredes of the Astros and Andres Muñoz of the Mariners are having. Paredes and Muñoz played together on Mexican youth national teams, and now they're making good cases to earn their second consecutive All-Star berths.
