Ronald Acuña, Sr. Goes Off On Snitker

[jpx7]

This would be a total non-story had Snit not blown in up in the postgame.

That’s the most egregious part—and, like you said, not committing alienating interpersonal blunders is supposed to be the primary thing Snit brings to the table.

FTFY.

Whats funny is if you read the game thread but didn't watch the game, like me, it was made out like Ronald cost us the game.

[weso1]

Acuña didn’t run to social media and “act a fool”. That was his father. And, secondly, he did own up to the blunder after the game to the media.

If you wanna criticize Acuña, maybe you should get your facts straight first.

My fault on that one. Didn't notice the Sr. in the thread title. And you are right that he did acknowledge his error.

[goldfly]

get rid of snit asap

players manager lol

which makes it even dumber that the dumb**** manager said that ****


much less that he said dansby was just trying to make something happen when he did something similar a few weeks ago and gives it a bad look

[goldfly]

Who knows…

How about Ronald come out and say it was a dumb thing that he did?

Being an all world talent doesn’t excuse not playing the game the right way….We all tolerate his home run pimps off the wall…that retarded thing he does rounding 3B on a HR, or his complete overplay on injuries…like I’ve said 100 times…He needs to grow up…Snit will be dealt with eventually and Ronald will be here well past him.

what a stupid take

just say you want the game to be boring as **** and move a long

No which makes a dumb thread about a dad seem credible for what he said when it's repeated in game threads over and over

I like the bat flip and pumping up the dugout…however that thing he does around 3B is corney as hell…

Did he cost us the game the other night? Absolutely not….Did Snit handle this incorrectly, you bet…but none of it excuses the fact that Acuna needs to grow up…He’s about to be the face of this franchise when Freddie dips in about 3 months.

The ‘dumb’ thing is a tribute to miggy if I am not mistaken. Fellow countryman who is an all time great. It isn’t dumb in the right context.

It’s not even dumb with no context. It’s harmless.

[The Chosen One]

Can someone tell me what happened. I was driving on the road during the game.

[Deester11]

Exactly. The so called purists of the game need to grab a baby bottle and cry more. The purity of the game has been gone since Bud Selig. I can't stand Trevor Bauer but he stands up when he gets beat, struts when he beats you, Tatis...Vlad,,etc. If you can't embrace the entertainment value needed in sprucing up the game of baseball, watch chess. Its less chaotic.

The masses rose up and started a game day thread away from the curse of this Illegitimate board name and the baseball gods graced us with one of our most complete games of the year. Any questions.

[CyYoung31]

Acuña scaled an Atlanta skyscraper and Snitker manned a helicopter in order to shoot him down.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Just want to make sure they have all the info before making said opinion. I agree it isn’t dumb.

Yup. Paying tribute to the *for now* greatest player from your country.

That wasn’t my point….those young stars are good for the game and breath of fresh air… but they still have an obligation to play the game the right way and play hard….Does a player’s post HR celebration routine excuse them from making bone head decisions?

I love the new energy these young guys bring…especially Acuna…there are just some things that he does that I don’t like…nothing wrong with that…

[mfree80]

To be clear. I don't believe Ronald "cost us the game." I do believe Ronald cost us one more chance, after we had already blown several. Got our hopes up one more time, then crushed them all in one play. The game was lost several times due to missed opportunities, that was just the last, and therefore most recent at the time.

[NYCBrave]

Here's my take:

1) Bad play by Acuna that didn't cost us the game
2) Bad idea by Snitker to call him out publicly, should probably apologize
3) Even worse idea by Acuna Sr to think he should lash out on social media
