We see guys pimping homers to then be stuck on first after it hits the wall, but since a lot of guys do it, I guess it is acceptable. I love when guys jump for fly balls when they don't need to and trash thier knees too.. but everyone showboats a fly ball, so who cares.
To excuse Acuna for not moving on that play because it was too far, or other RF didn't move in the same instance, is like a 13 year old's arguement for not cutting the grass. But it is fine, I can cut the grass.. and I will not hate Acuna for that play. I would him rather not run after any ball hit to center if it means he doesn't try making stupid leaping catches that he didn't have to jump on.
