Big things matter too and I a big way. You take Acuna out of an already weakened lineup and it kind of stinks. As to the other 24 guys. I wouldn't pull Freddie, Donaldson, or Ozzie either. The others should be grateful we have a guy like Acuna in the lineup, and I'm sure Ronald feels as bad as anyone. He screwed up. It happens.
    You’re not wrong.

    Trashing Fried after a bad first inning is about as stupid as pimping him endlessly after a couple good starts.

    How about pimping him for 3+ years?

    Watch: the game will come down to Adam Duvall with the tying and winning runs on base in the 9th.

    The odds of that ball being off the wall were slim. It was a moon shot. It was coming almost straight down. It's one you would assume would be gone or caught.

    Keuchel had been pretty lucky up to that point. He's had ****ty peripherals and a bad xWOBA all season. Fried has been quite a bit better.

    So many other ways to discipline Acuna.

    Just upset we are conceding this game.

    I know it's not over yet but taking arguably your best player out in an already hamstrung lineup does not bode well.

    Ending a comeback that itself follows after a Dodgers grand slam off the top of Ortega's head, Canseco-style.

    It's one game. Ask your boy Andruw if he thinks it was a good move or not.

    Sucks, but so does arguably your best player giving a crap effort. Hopefully this puts an end to that

    Andruw's pull came in a game in which we had a six-man bench, including an actual centerfielder.

    If Acuña really cared about his team winning a game and series against the Dodgers, his butt would've been on second base.

    Kuechel has been extremely unlucky on HR/FB. His other peripherals are otherwise in line with his career averages.

    So many wise baseball minds....

    If the penalty for not running out a ball is being benched, then the penalty needs to be applied consistently regardless of the player’s name or any other circumstance.

    This is Acuna’s fault, and nobody else’s. Stop crying and trying to justify his actions.

    Is it unlucky or making ****ty pitches in this new environment? A 341 xWOBA is not even close to being good.
