If Keuchel throws a pitch at 97, I have a lot more pressing questions than wupk's.
Wouldn’t break my heart if Acuna matured out of this BJ Upton mannerisms phase he’s currently in.
That pitch was clearly a strike.
In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if his immaturity may set him back for a couple of games. He's been benched in the middle of a game by his manager and then hit by the first pitch of the next game by a team with which he has a confrontational history.
There's no doubt in my mind that Mattingly had his pitcher hit Acuña intentionally just to see how much they could get inside RA's head.
****ing Donaldson is up to a .920 OPS. He’d be an MVP candidate in most years, considering the position he plays and how well he plays it. That’s insane.

League OPS is skewing your perception. He's not even going to reach 5 WAR on the season.

He’s going yard this game.
Shouldnt he be out of the game now?
I doubt it because he appears to be pressing at the plate. If he does, though, it'd go a long way towards putting all the drama behind him.
