    Nice first inning from mccarthey. The curve has nice downward tilt to it so far

    What happened to real 5-tool prospects who were elite on defense, on the bases, and swinging the bat? Players like Jason Heywood.

    Haha people are already saying that Acuna is going to be just like Jason Heyward, a bust if he doesn't get sent down to the minors.

    The silly. Because I'd like for Acuna to be a better hitter than him but Heyward is a great outcome, most minor leaguers don't work out.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Look at the tweets in this status. I didn't even realize that Joe Simpson is providing...instructions as I don't listen to the broadcast.

    Including brains, there are really 6 tools, which looks like could be a chink in Acuna's armor. I still don't understand what he was doing on that play at home. He never looked at Washington and he wasn't running that hard. Maybe he though the grounder got through.

    that was a weird play, what happened? did hernandez bobble the ball? it looked to me like he had a fairly easy play at 1st, but threw home?

    Sometimes you gotta throw your curveball less hard.
