As soon as people start arguing over the meaning of a word like "routine" they are only doing so to protect their own ego. It probably wasn't "routine" but it was very clearly a play that should have been made, and I think "the play should have been made" is the point he was trying to make...

This is quickly turning into a silly semantics argument over the meaning of the word "routine", but I expect a competent OFer to catch a ball with a 75% catch probability. I suspect all of Harris, White, Fairchild, and probably Verdugo would have made that play. I'm sorry if that hurts...

It should be noted Acuna currently sports a .495 OBP.

Massive win there.

It’s frustrating because all they have to do to win is not be terrible. That’s it.

Sac bunts only make sense when the batter is terrible and the next batter is good. That was such a time.

Guess not. Let’s just pop up

Can Verdugo bunt?

Baldwin bats here trying to get Acuna up again.

Baldwin better get a swing here.

Not gonna lie, my stomach dropped when I saw Acuna getting ready to jump.

Yeah, it’s hard to justify pulling Ozuna with 2 outs and the back half of this lineup due up. It’s very likely his slot sees another PA with the game on the line.

Albies is just clueless up there. Takes 94 right down the middle then swings at multiple balls in the dirt.

Thank the lord.

His defense has been a negative since the first knee injury, so it stands to reason it’s even worse now. That’s the main reason the Devers deal would have made zero sense. The Braves need actual MLB caliber OFers, not another DH.

Offense didn’t bother to show up yet.

That double had an xBA of 0.040. Should have been an out.

very curious to see the catch probability on that one.

This deal at least now makes a little sense with Boston kicking in some cash. While I like the idea of flipping Murphy to fill another need, I dislike the idea of using his value to get another DH. He needs to be used to fill SS or OF, not for another DH-only guy.

This is the part that stings the most...how stupid it makes everyone else look. With hindsight it's obvious he was juicing...and everyone let their blinders get in the way of seeing it. It's obvious Tatis knows how to get around the current testing systems, and without him involved the league...
