The Marlins might intentionally walk Acuna tomorrow night to lead-off the game lol

You think 89 wins is enough to win division?

probably...and almost definitely the WC

Can't stomach another 1 game defeat. I'd rather we play Bo5 and get swept than have the entire season rest on 1 game.

Players in baseball history to homer in their first official at-bat in five straight games:

Atlanta #Braves Ronald Acuna:
Aug. 11-14, 2018 (5)*

New York Giants Willie Mays:
June 21-25, 1954 (5)

*streak is active

Chipper had a couple of unreal stretches in his MVP year. He was so dialed in it seemed like he never swung ‘til he got the pitch he wanted, then beasted it.

Druw’s 50-homer season was fairly bonkers, too.

Justin Upton in April and August?

Chipper had 7 HR in 7 days. 7/2-7/9/99

Upton 6 in 7 days. 4/1 - 4/8/13

Andruw 7 in 7 days. 6/11-6/18/05

Acuna 8 in 6 days 8/8-8/14/18 (but included a DH, didn't check on the other guys)

Acuña is simply not human!

Radio said this. He has 5 straight games where he hit homers in his first official AB. Sunday he had a walk then bomb so still streaking.

Braves have won 13/17.

They had lost 13 of the previous 18.

So that evened out.

I'm sure Soto is a nice guy and all but he just got left in the dust in the ROY race though!

That was a Harper jersey though? Couldn't read the name but it was #17.

Acuna reminds me of the scene in the Avengers where Tony Stark tells Loki “We have a Hulk”.

Acuna is certainly the Hulk right now.

One of the guys on MLB network made a good point. The Phillies are in trouble if Acuna stays hot. They don’t have anyone that can match what he can do.

IMO Freddie and Acuna could carry this team to the WS
