I love how Acuna sees a lot of pitches. Albies has the ability, but he too often swings at the 1st pitch.

Chip and Joe are acting like Acuña is lost at the plate. His numbers aren't great and his struggling a little bit but he's also been hitting some missiles directly at people. Those will even out over time.

Yea, I was just thinking about how those two PAs really juxtapose.

First game I'm getting to watch this year; Joe is bitterer than ever.
Yeah. He's been pretty steady with that this year. Quite annoying. He needs to be retired with the rest of the dinosaurs.

What does that even mean?

I absolutely love these segments where we ask Joe about hitting philosophy. Nothing like learning from a career .242 hitter.
I guess that means no strikeouts, walks or homers. Doesn't really fit the Braves as they are 3rd in the NL in homers. The real anti-three-outcome team is the Padres as they don't do any of those things.
While it should be obvious that he doesn't know what he's talking about. You can really tell when they have Chipper in the booth and he talks about hitting. It's night and day in regards to hitting.

Hey: we learned he never worried about looking foolish on a swing, which probably served him well.

Hopefully he gets out of it, but Newk lost all control this inning
