Did you misspell Acuna's name?

I was told by the most reliable of sources that Acuna would be in RF/CF for 95% of the remaining game starting today.

What's going on?

Trash lineup for the powerful arm of Sanchez.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Have a feeling there will be big games from La Stella and Hayward...former braves always kill us, including Matt Adams, bj Upton, and Dan uggla to name a few recently

 

[Enscheff]

The Darvish slider will be a good check point for Swanson. It is a good pitch, and Swanson will see it often. We should be able to gauge any improvement he's made by watching these PAs closely.

Annabel coming back from the dead to the Kingdom by the Lake.

Snit the Hit
9:49 A lineup with Albies, Acuna, Freeman, Swanson and Inciarte has a ton of upside, right?
Jeff Sullivan
9:49 Well, I don't think Inciarte or Swanson have huge offensive upside. They should be roughly average-ish hitters. Not good, not bad
9:50 The others, though? Yeah. It's starting to happen

Thank god for Frank Wren and Dave Stewart!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Where would this rebuild be without Bobby Cox

 

[jsebe10]

Seriously though...

Is Acuna truly not really eligible until tomorrow or what?

Eligible today. But he sucks and we will likely trade him for a pitcher with control problems but good ‘stuff’

Acuna is the next Maitan

 

[msstate7]

Acuna is the next Maitan

I think it's a combination of the weather and wanting him to debut at home

Once the AAA team got rained out, it was pretty obvious Acuna wouldn't be coming up today because he hasn't had enough time to get everything working. No matter how ready a guy is, it's probably not wise to call him up in the midst of struggling to make contact. That only sets him up for early failure at the MLB level.

tehteh was just wrong...again. When Acuna is playing LF instead of RF, I'll point out that he was wrong...again.
