gdt 8/18 doggers

I'd rather win the game and series against Dodgers.

Yeah, removing Acuna you can kiss this game goodbye.

[CyYoung31]

Unreal.

[USMA76]

He really isn’t though.

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

[Heyward]

Freaking shift had that played perfectly

[CyYoung31]

I think Pache gets called up after the game so Ronald is benched for a couple of days. That will teach him.

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

[The Chosen One]

That was the most egregious shift against a AAAA player I've rver seen.

[Heyward]

so smart pitching to Bellinger likely nets them only 2 runs in the first. Braves also blew two chances to score themselves in the 1st and 3rd. Just got to play smarter against the best team in the league.

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.

[The Chosen One]

Snitker took Acuna out. Lmao

[The Chosen One]

Snitker conceding thisngame.

[The Chosen One]

Is Snitker going to take himself out for callinga steal at a dumb time

[CyYoung31]

I wonder why they waited an inning to pull Acuna.

He didn’t call the steal.

[CrimsonCowboy]

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

[The Chosen One]

I wonder why they waited an inning to pull Acuna.

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.

[USMA76]

I understand, but there are times a message has to be sent and a lesson needs to be learned.

There are 24 other guys on the roster that need to be shown that team rules apply equally to everyone. If it goes unaddressed, the behavior will just get worse and we'll lose more winnable games than just this one.

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

I can't watch. What happened?

[chop2chip]

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