GDT 8-9.... JULIO BLACKENS THE FISH IN CAJUN GOODNESS.....

[salmagundy]

I've got the feeling that Smith is going to get tossed at the end of the Top 5th. He's going to mouth off to least 1 Ump.

Smith is not going to make to the end of inning. He's pulled with 2 outs, runners 2nd/3rd and 6 runs in.

[Heyward]

It seems to me every homer Ronnie has the EV is like 105 or higher and 420 feet or longer.

He doesnt get cheapened on his homers.

[USMA76]

Probably but he doesn’t need to be a little bitch.

Maybe he needs to borrow Folty's wristband?

[AerchAngel]

He reminds me of Horner in his swing. Short but powerful and especially when the barrel is on the baseball.

I was stationed overseas for all of Horner's time as a Brave so I didn't get to watch him. My question is did Horner have the effortless opposite field power that Acuña has?

They should’ve revolted after they traded Heyward.

Ruthian!!!

Would be nice to see Julio go 8 innings tonight.

[thethe]

I wouldnt say Acuna has a short swing.

[salmagundy]

Julio is pitching a gem tonight. Thru 5 he's at 70 pitches, with 5 Ks, 0 BBs, and 4 hits.

[Snowman]

Nah. It was a BS call, he got pissed, he had a right to. Then the little bitch that us that ump got mad and set up closer to him, staring intently, clearly looking for an oppo to call him for another one as punishment. That's trash umping at it's worst.



I'll gladly take the results this time, though.

He’s been money for a while

You're not that supposed Twitter swing expert, are you?

[chop2chip]

Would be nice if Chen doesn’t shut us down for once.

Um kind of, he will hit it out to right center at times. But he was so quick when he swings, Acuna would adjust, but the pitchers then did not throw 95 to 100 constantly. If he did not get hurt, he would have out hit Dale Murphy and hit more homers. He had bone issues in his wrist and arms, if they go, he was toast.

But he was a pleasure to watch. He hit 23 homers in like half or so in the season, as a rookie. He was patient just like Acuna. I think Acuna is looking at his K's and most of them looking, he is not messing around on the first pitch.

Horner was really good, but he had to compete against Mike Schmidt, you will lose that battle. Another not tall like Glaus or Chipper or big person and had much power. Actually if you think about it Horner was like Schmidt in how they approach for hitting.

[thethe]

You're not that supposed Twitter swing expert, are you?

Nah, that dude is clueless. Even still, there is a middle ground between a long and short swing. Acuna is neither of those.

[chop2chip]

Lol ... I guess it’s the C league umpires tonight.

Dreadful across the board.

[AerchAngel]

Acuna k's looking again.

He needs to not look for something and just hit the darn ball.

Schmidt, Murphy or Horner would have did something, make an out but they would not take close pitches.

Murphy was a pull hitter at first, but when he adjusted, most of his home runs were left center to right field, mainly right field.

I just love the fact that you instantly knew who I meant.

[zbhargrove]

Holy crap... I didn't realize Acuna, Freeman, and Albies were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively in the NL in hits.

How can anyone argue with acunas approach/production. Go take your meds and go to bed AA!!
