Acuna- what are everyone's thoughts on when

clvclv said:
If the Braves are so bad - and there's absolutely nothing to be optimistic about until Gohara, Acuna, Camargo, and Soroka arrive - why on earth are you people watching the games or hanging around here???

If the rest of the world held the same outlooks you do, they'd have been smart enough to find something else to do by now - the almighty numbers would've demanded it.

For one I enjoy watching baseball. Also I do enjoy seeing the young kids develop and Freeman is always a joy to watch hit. That said I can separate what I enjoy watching about the team and still realize the overall talent level on the team is .500 at best. Now if Alibes and soon Acuna develop into MVP level talent out of the gate that will certainly change things. But I'd rather base my opinions on probabilities instead of the top 5% of outcomes.

That's currently all the games they've played on a field - of course the entire season (and most of the players' careers) have already been decided on a computer. Save us all some time and tell us the outcomes, and everybody can find something more productive to do than watch baseball.

They're not nearly as good as they've been over the last 12 games - find something better to do with your time. You'll be thankful you did.

people know how history documentaries end and they still watch them
 
Despite my outburst, I can get waiting until Acuna gets his hitting mechanics straightened out for a few games in a row to bring him here.

What I don't understand is the "riding the hot hand" position, when Tucker/Flaherty aren't exactly hot anymore. When you decide to ride the hot hand, you do so until they're cold. It was a wonderful start, but it's obvious the offense has used up all it has with them in the lineup lately.

Camargo should be here already, if he and Acuna have a good rest of the series in Scranton, they should be brought to Atlanta together for New York on the weekend, it'd be a tough start for Acuna, but it has to start somewhere. At the very least, it should be Camargo for Culberson.
 
Agree. Riding "hot hands" that have now been washed in cold water is not appealing to winning ways or to the fans. Camargo should have been up at the start of the Phiiiies series. Acuna should be up at the start of 4 game series vs Mutts.

Double switching using Peanut Butter is a waste of time and effort. Hopefully that will end when Acuna is in a Braves uni and PB is no longer an option.

Is it bad it took me 3 days to figure out who Peanut Butter is?
 
I'm assuming that's just GM-speak for the casual fans. Basically, we'll call him up soon, once he's 'ready'. I think he'll be called up as soon as AA believes he can without any questions.

So AA believes in the hot hand too. That has to chap a few here hahaha

I think Enscheff is correct here. Goal #1 was to keep Acuna down to gain the extra year. Now they are just waiting for him to get going after the long layoff and bad weather. Shouldn't be much longer.
