GDT 9/2/19: Happy Labor Day!!!

[USMA76]

For the past few weeks he's been Ronald Aclueless.

 

[Heyward]

He's late on everything sigh.

 

[Braves1976]

Acuna is horrible right now, if you need him to make contact right now he is going to k most of the time.

 

[CyYoung31]

Ho-hum, another overrated Braves right-fielder.

 

[Braves1976]

they gift wrapped a run for us but we didn't take it.

 

[msstate7]

Who was it that used to mock me for comparing Soto and Acuna?

Acuna 4.8 fWAR
Soto 4.6 fWAR

Offensively, Soto is clearly superior, so far

 

[striker42]

Acuna is being fed hard stuff away and he's trying to go out around it and pull it. That's making him late. He needs to keep his hands inside the ball and drive it to the opposite field when he's being pitched like that.

 

[Heyward]

Dear Lord, Acuna. What the hell is wrong with him?

You new to watching baseball? Slumps happen, Acuna is just in a bad one right now.

Silent Protest of his Benching during the LAD game.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Shane Greene has been a machine since that rough start. So good to see.

 

[The Tariff King]

Nice job Greene.

.153/.273/.283 from that game

They're compareable, Soto is probably the better offensive player but overall baserunning, defense, and throwing guys out, etc, Acuna gets the edge.

IIRC Enscheff called his slump then dominant turnaround way back when he was acquired.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

That was a quick inning.

Hope Snitker learns his lesson.

 

[Heyward]

Nice job Greene.

Good thing they didnt DFA him like a few posters had said, almost like he was getting unlucky.

Acuna is a great young star but he is really pressing right now, ive not seen him slump this badly in a good while.

I agree. Both are terrific players

I’m pretty sure it was no one.

No ever argued that they weren’t comparable offensively. It’s the rest of the game that puts Acuna over the top.
