    The OPS has risen to .926!!!

    Then you add the fact he's smashed 21 big boys and missed a month/was called up late.

    The kid is 20!!!!
    I've been meaning to figure out when Acuna changed his stance and how that has impacted his contact rates since that point. Maybe at some point I'll do that, but in the mean time if someone else wants to do that then I won't complain.
    thank you weso1!

    Ronald Acuna since August 9th:

    65 PA

    13.8% BB%

    15.4% K%

    8 taters

    17 runs scored


    K% stabilized at 60 PA, so this isn't small sample noise.

    I'm sure I'm not the first one to say this about Acuna, but with his hips and body shape he looks like he could easily put on 20 or 30 lbs in the off season. Already showing it at 20 yrs old is not optimal. But still he's the sh't. Finish strong and get that Rookie of the Year award.

    He has such a kid's body, especially compared to the "younger" juan soto. the fact he has so much power is wild. it's just that quick, violent-at-times swing.

    i'm so, so glad he's an atlanta brave.

    Haha.

    I wonder how many rookies (much less 20 year old ones) have had a 30 HR, 30 2B season.

    Mike Trout had 30 HR and 27 2B in his rookie season.

    Ronald currently has 21 HR and 20 2B.

    WOW.

    I'd still contend he ran TheThe off this board for constantly mocking him for not being a smarter fan.

    I think this too.

    I sure don’t post as much. I would love to but every thread when I come online is either he attacking someone or someone attacking him. It’s brutal.

    But why would that prevent you from posting. If you have something to say then type it and change the narrative. I never engage in bickering. I enjoy the humor and different personalities. If there is a thread right I just scroll past that post. Pretty simple really.

    There is no evidence that is the case. I think it is more likely that something has happened to thethe. Once again though nobody knows. That however is a pretty serious accusation considering you have no proof.

    Sure I have no proof. But let's not act like cyber bullying is not a real thing.

    No one said cyber bullying wasn’t a real thing but what you’re doing is just as bad if not worse.

    Also it doesn’t even make sense. This year is a told ya so type year for thethe. It wouldn’t make sense for him to just up and leave.

    I love enscheff, and generally dont mind the making fun of people, but I don't love trying to run off everyone who disagrees with him
