    Acuna is one of the worst OF defenders I've ever seen

    The ebbs and flows of a season are why I lol hard at people that say so and so needs to stay in X spot.

    Edit: I think Acuna thought that ball was going to go.
    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.

    Does that dumbass Acuna not understand how ricochets work? I’ve literally never seen him properly play a ricochet.

    I mean...that shouldn’t be tough to learn. He has all the gifts to be great.

    Newk is at 18 batters faced, and ideally he wouldn’t face anyone after Peralta. Problem is they need him to eat more outs.

    I dread seeing Newk face the middle of the DBacks lineup a third time. Hopefully it works out.

    Can you learn to be a good defender? I'm no expert, but it seems you'd either have that gift or not

    If Allard turns out to be the real deal...this could be what it’s like watching him.

    Put on your hard hat because the roof may be getting ready to cave in.

    Well....not a gold glover, but you should be able to be decent with work.

    As anemic as our offense has been, it's difficult right now to be terribly optimistic. You don't want to take too much from a 10 game stretch but we are certainly trending downward.

    It is. Hopefully I'll be wrong, again

    He got the LHer, now he needs to get to work on the heart of the order the 3rd time.

    Maybe a storm can save the Braves from facing a possible Maddux'd from Greinke.
