When Acuna comes up and struggles with MLB sequencing (meaning swinging at breaking balls away) while posting an OPS that might not crack the .800s...there will be complaints.

It is absolutely imperative the Braves give up a few weeks/months of .750 OPS Acuna in 2018 for a full year of .900 OPS Acuna in 2024.

The complaints are probably coming soon.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Boom!!!

 

[The Tariff King]

Albies. Mmm.

 

[Enscheff]

And Ozzie goes Albeast mode and hits another one 2' over the fence haha.

 

[Julio3000]

Turns out he hits first-pitch hanging breakers, too.

 

[mfree80]

The homerless streak is over. whew!

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

The complaints are probably coming soon.

The overanalysis has been here from the start on him. I suspect he'll be good but unless he absolutely blows up people are going to complain just like seemingly half the fanbase did with Heyward.

 

[Runnin]

What happened to real 5-tool prospects who were elite on defense, on the bases, and swinging the bat? Players like Jason Heywood.

Including brains, there are really 6 tools, which looks like could be a chink in Acuna's armor. I still don't understand what he was doing on that play at home. He never looked at Washington and he wasn't running that hard. Maybe he though the grounder got through.

 

[UNCBlue012]

McCarthy is on it so far today!

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Phillies apparently haven’t heard of the informal replay rule. We’re lucky they didn’t challenge the play at first

 

[UNCBlue012]

Great at-bat for Neck.
