    I know. Any offensive production he gives us is just an added bonus.

    He doesn’t need to be benched for a couple days. Removing him from this game is enough.

    Eh, Acuna literally had the ball in his glove and it bounced out.

    But the 1st and 3rd innings hurt us more than the Bellinger dong. Runner on 3rd with one out, you gotta score him with Freeman and Albies hitting.

    I wonder why they waited an inning to pull Acuna.

    I know a lot of people don't like pulling Ronald, but you have to do it. I just saw the replay for the first time, and that was horrible on his part. I don't care how talented you are, that can't happen.

    That’s the only part I don’t like. Should have done it immediately

    It's such a dumb time to do this.

    This isn't the first time Ronald hasn't hustled out of the box. Snit should have done this long long ago.

    Ron is gonna walk out of the box again at some point. Bench him then.

    Even if Acuna catches it they are going to score 2 runs that inning. But 1st base was open. No reason at all to give him anything good to hit.

    A simple talking to would’ve sufficed I think. Acuna did the same thing a few games ago I believe, but it’s not like he does it all the time.

    No doubt in my mind that sending a strong message to Acuña is exactly what Snitker needs to do.

    Fried has been a champ today. Really encouraging start for a guy that’s turned a corner in the second half.
