"I want to apologize to my teammates, manager, the Cardinals organization and baseball fans for the video I posted tonight after our victory in Atlanta," Arozarena wrote Thursday on Instagram. "It was a moment meant to be private. I made a rookie mistake by sharing it on my social media account."

Aronzarena, 24, was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the series.

"The [Braves] started some [expletive]," Shildt said in the video. "We finished the [expletive]. And that's how we roll. No one [expletives] with us ever. Now, I don't give a [expletive] who we play. We're gonna [expletive] them up. We're gonna take it right to them the whole [expletive] way. We're gonna kick their [expletive]."
