Acuña want to run? I mean, there were two outs with the game on the line.

I was thinking the same thing -if it were up to me, minter, lutege, and JJ would all have a 14 day DL stint - while I used the starting rotation for Rome in my pen.
And no, I’m not kidding. Those kids can go back to TOR academy next spring- or after the trade deadline. Right now we need three “one inning lock down aces.” Just come in and throw bullets for one inning- three or four nights a week.
Desperate times, desperate measures
We have a 4:00 and then a 7:00 Sunday game. If Murphy isn't starting these next two, the dude may want to actually request a trade.
Just put Ozuna in LF and DH one of the catchers. Problem solved.
I'm really not worried too much about the pen. Might be time to flip Danny young and LL. I expect mchugh and minter to get better any time now. When lee returns, it'll give us 5 dependable guys - iglesias, Anderson, mchugh, lee, and minter. I expect Chavez to regress, but 1 of jiminez and yates to improve. Braves' pen seems to struggle early in the season most every year; this could be faulty memory though.
The White Sox suck and have some pieces I’d be really interested in. Giolito and Joe Kelly would be the 2 I’d target. Both are having good years and would really give us a big boost. Kelly has a team option for next year at 9.5 million and Giolito will be a FA. It would probably take Grissom but that’d be a big piece for basically 2 rentals.
Splitting with shuster and Dodds throwing is impressive
I don’t want Joe Kelly… he’s a douche almost on the level of Trevor Bauer
