His numbers this year aren't really that relevant though when talking about what kind of hitter he is or how valuable he can be for Philly. He's extremely unlikely to maintain his current performance. Sure, he's significantly better than their other options, not he's not the sort of bat that can carry an offense. Their offense is still not very good even with Ramos.

Watching Snitker’s PC. He’s ticked off, to put it mildly.

Looks like we will know more about Acuna tomorrow. I bet he goes on the 10-day DL.

Need to teach acuña how to get out of the way. Don’t leave your arms in the way unless you have bonds armor on.

He has had a great year when healthy and adding him with Cabrera and Bour should help the offense, but their defense is still bad and that could be a factor too. Their pitching has overcome some pretty bad defense at times this year.

And when this fails they can get yet another first baseman to help more.

I don't think they got Bour to replace Santana. I think they got him thinking about using him off the bench and occasionally vs righties and of course to go against our pitchers that he has hit well. But I could see Bour traded or even nontendered this off season (a la Adams with us after last year).

Watching the replay, and I watched Relamuto behind the plate. Right after Acuna was hit, he looked at Urena as if to say “What are you doing????”
like do you actually believe this???

Snitker said it just tightened up on him. Didn't sound concerned at all.
This is sort of where I laugh at these super serious old school guys. What exactly did Snitker do to protect his kid?

snit responded well here but so would Fredi and most all managers. This was bad and begged for such a response. I think some players were just slow to react as it caught them off guard, it wasn't anything any of us expected. Inciarte sure was out fast ready to go though, kinda funny as he's not our biggest man.
That said, I did get a laugh out of those using Snit's response to this as proof he is a "good manager" and acting like this team wouldn't be where they are now without him.

He did get Urena thrown out of the game. There weren't prepared to toss him at all until Snitker went ape ****. It also sends a message to your players that you've got their back, something your boy Fredi knew nothing about.
