Let's just hope Kapler takes him out after this inning.

[Freshmaker]

I don't get it. Acuna should be up tomorrow. What the heck is going on?

He's hitting like hot garbage right now. If he's in this much of a funk against AAA pitching, what do you think major league pitching will do to him? He'll be up as soon as he rights the ship, which I'm betting will be within a week or two

[CyYoung31]

At least Chip seems to actually be making an effort to understand analytics. For Joe it just goes in one ear and out the other, topped off with a smarmy comment.

[chop2chip]

Really interesting insight from Chip on the oval strikezone and pitchframing. I had never heard that before.

Joe and Tom of course have to add snide comments that contribute nothing to what could be a really fascinating conversation.

His performance today/yesterdat/the day before hasno bearing on how he will do tomorrow.

Hell chip is arguing with people on Twitter about Acuna, saying 6.9 years is more valuable than 6.

[Freshmaker]

Nice start from Julio tonight - very encouraging to see

haha god damn. chip does strike me as the guy who does things to get in good with his boss. so if it's this and actually quoting a fangraphs article or two then I'm for it obviously.

The fact that was from today makes it less impressive for me since the service time argument no longer applies. Still, baby steps
