Veiny

[bravesfanMatt]

He's got that Folty in him

I didn’t realize those guys were gay.

Acuna getting his knee looked at by a doctor but not an MRI per Snit.

WTF. Why can’t the org tell him to stop indiscriminately stealing bases.

[CyYoung31]

WTF

Because that would require a manager that isn't stuck in the 1980s.

Apparently 80 SB attempts to increase his base running value by 5 runs over the course of the season is justification for risking the best offensive player on the planet...because "dynamic".

[CyYoung31]

We know Acuña has zero pain tolerance, so maybe it is nothing.

[Hulavol]

Five bucks he has the clinical equivalent of an ingrown hair.

I cut it off when elder left. What was said?

Ben asked O’Day about his favorite SEC ballparks - and O’Day said Dudy Field was the best - and then went on for two minutes about how great it was - the park itself, how knowledgeable and passionate the fans are, the total experience being second to none -even Starkville itself - it was a very glowing endorsement to the level of making me want to load up the truck and head south for the LSU series !

I agree, but do you actually think he would follow Snitker's (and by extension the franchise's) orders. Acuna is a generational talent, but he strikes me a bit of a stat chaser.

The Dude is great. You should visit

One day I'm going to come down for a Hogs/Dawgs series.

If any of you Dawg fans venture to Fayetteville to check out the second greatest venue in college baseball (I'm a homer but realistic) beers are on me.

Acuna can sit out all spring. Let white, Wall, and Martinez all battle it out with as many at bats as they can get

[Hudson2]

Acunas MRI showed his meniscus irritation and hes going to visit the same Dr that did his knee surgery. At least its not the ACL.

[msstate7]

WTF

Got an MRI. Why they lying?

Stealing in ST, and then he got in a prolonged run down. If they're gonna let Acuna run, at least tell him to not get in run downs... take the damn out and move on

Hes wanting a new contract but running like he does makes it a huge risk going forward. I think AA waits a couple of years to see how the knee holds up.

[CyYoung31]

Maybe we shouldn’t be letting him play baseball all year long in non-MLB games.

[Enscheff]

The management of the health of the best player in the game is verging into the realm of incompetence. I’m extremely disappointed with the way the Braves are handling Acuna.

[Enscheff]

Hmm, I wonder if it would be wise to give Acuna 1-2 extra days off per month during the season? Maybe it would be nice to have an actual MLB 4th OFer? Maybe if the dinosaur manager could competently manage a bench the Braves could have someone like Grichuk for $2M.

We are witnessing the potential ramifications of having a dinosaur manager this very moment.
