Acuna can't hit fastballs

Acuna can't hit fastballs

Nope. Tired. Hurt. Who knows. One thing I do know is he needs to just keep stealing bases

 

[CyYoung31]

So, Olson hits ball 105 mph with a 23 degree launch angle and it was a can of corn in front of the warning track?

**** off.

**** off.

I think Riley had one the other day that was 110+ at 30 something degrees and it didn’t even go 400.

 

[CyYoung31]

F you, ump.

 

[jsebe10]

F you, ump.

That strike 3 call there was just down right egregious

 

[msstate7]

Schwarber just hit his 8th hr. Braves need to hit em better apparently

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Just give Lopez the same 3 inches ump

 

[msstate7]

Just give Lopez the same 3 inches ump

I'm sure he will give the braves his 3" all
Night long

And Ozuna has 9. Doesn’t mean the ball isn’t ****ing the league as a whole, despite a few still putting up good numbers.

And then you have umpires calling strikes a foot off the plate.

As long as they don't send different balls to different parks, I'm fine with whatever.

 

[msstate7]

They're just pouring fastballs to Acuna in the zone and offspeed out of it. Actha can't catch up to fastballs and they won't give him offspeed to hit.

 

[jsebe10]

lol. Man what an inning.

 

[Garmel]

Makes you believe Acuna is hurt.

 

[CyYoung31]

Makes you believe Acuna is hurt.

Either hurt or worn down.

 

[msstate7]

Makes you believe Acuna is hurt.

No idea what's going on with him, but it's looking more like he will be 2022 not 2023

 

[jsebe10]

Makes you believe Acuna is hurt.

I think his mechanics are off. His front side is flying wide open...and he's making himself tardy on fastballs by over compensating for it by staying back..

 

[msstate7]

And maybe Acuna just sucks right now... JRod does
