Ryu has only three losses all year, one of them came yesterday against us. Anytime you beat a pitcher like Ryu that is impressive.

Doesn't matter what Freeman thinks. Snit is the manager. Freddie is just a player. It was the right call.

Uh, yeah. But it still makes for an interesting point of discussion.
And I’m pretty sure Freddie isn’t disagreeing with him.

This is one time we agree. I come down on that side too. I hope Freddie is backing Snit.

There isn't enough to go on here to say for sure what Freeman meant by "you don't do that". He could talking about what Acuna did or he could be talking about pulling him in a big game against the Dodgers.

i would guess not, but i cannot say for sure based on that clip.

i am no snit fan but i had no issue with the move, i expected it in fact.
That said, I wasn't mad at Acuna. I'd been mad if he hit a grounder and it was bobbled or dropped and he didn't hustle allowing an infielder to throw him out. That is worse than thinking you hit one out and making the mistake he did.

Or he could be talking about bringing out your waffle before your meal at Waffle House.

yea someone noted similar in that twitter thread. Speculation based on a few words is all we have here.

Thankfully we still won so this shouldn't drag on as an issue.

It’s hard for me to believe Freddie would be arguing with Snitker and saying he should stay in. Freddie is a lead by example guy and we know he hustles and wants the rest of the guys to do the same. FWIW, I did see where a lot of the players were asked about the Acuna benching. They didn’t want to go on record apparently, but all agreed with Snitker.
Word in Claremont - Snit did thing and RAJ gets it. All players / including many very prominent formers / very excited with win/ RAJ deal non issue.
Acuña’s Bat Flip
NL Rookie of the Year
It sure looks like Freddie said “he only missed by this much” with the hand sign and then said “you don’t do that” as he walked away. I think he was disagreeing with Snit benching Acuña.

I'd like to know what was said and the context. But Freddie could be arguing for Acuna, supporting his teammate as the unofficial captain of the team, and still be wrong. Snit did Acuna a big favor and then Ortega did too.
He has a lot to be thankful for. Hopefully everyone will be smiling again soon.
Not sure if you are referring to me, but I certainly didn't say that. I said if Folty is back, he pushes Max from that 3rd spot in a playoff rotation. Certainly Max has been better than Folty. The rest of the regular season will determine if Folty has regained his 2018 form.
I also believe Kuechel gets the nod over Max not b/c he's been a better pitcher, but b/c they've been pretty similar outside of DK's one awful start. DK's also has the postseason experience which would gives him an edge.
May be Sept will prove me wrong, but that's what I see happening.
