GDT- 8/14/18 ....RETURN OF THE NIGHT OF THE ANIBAL- THIS TIME HE MEANS WAR

[TheBravos]

Really glad we held his clock, because if he does anything close to this...no way we afford to sign him as a free agent.

Can someone tell Nscapi what acuña’s OPS is right now.

Sortable Batting

I'm only for bullying until you decide to misgender someone. Then you can go straight to an evil non-denominational afterlife.

Well, I agree with you in opposing such insanity.

Soto has been amazing this year. Acuna being enfuego doesn't take away what Soto has done.

I don’t disagree. It’s just pimping Soto over Acuna is about silly at this point. #YOLO

vintage venters. can't believe im watching it

I just hope he can stay healthy and pitch a few more years at least with us. One of my favorite MLB players.

So glad to have him back. He was my favorite part of those teams!

 

[USMA76]

Warm up the postgame entertainment again.

Meanwhile, Trevor Gott into a mess when he threw the Wong pitch to Kolten. 6-1 Cards as the Braves win!

 

[UNCBlue012]

Another great win! The Phillies lost and the Nats are down 6-1.

[USMA76]

16 games over .500 for the first time this year (and in a while).

yea, i suggested trading for him after his great spring when the Rays still initially cut him. So it was a nice surprise when AA got him later.

Great offense display tonight. Big win, hope we can sweep them same as Philly did last time.

Look at Acuna’s homerun spray chart:

[TW]1029554670904242177[/TW]

 

[AJonesATL]

I haven't seen someone make hitting bombs look this easy since Andruw in his MVP run. Believe he hit 12 homers in 15 games, peaking with a Baltimore series where I recall a homerun in every game, including a walk-off shot.

That's really the only thing from Acuna we are missing - the signature walk-off shot.

we finish with 89 wins if we play .500 ball the rest of the way in...BP's projection system has liked us more than the others and had us at 7% WS odds coming into today

You think 89 wins is enough to win division?

And now Acuna gets the Gatorade treatment during the postgame interview

 

[Heyward]

I think 88 to 92 unless Philly gets scorching hot.
