Acuna had a 1.121 OPS in Sept which was good for 5th best in baseball. Olson was actually a little higher at 1.139. Both led baseball with 11 homers in Sept.

This shows us just how valuable he can be if he gets the ball in the air more. It’s not unreasonable to think he posts 10+ wins in 2024.
73 SBs accounting for 7 runs of value may not be “proving” whatever you think it is.

Someone a few posts back wrote that Acuna is humble.....NOT....he's a showboat and wants as much attention as he can get. When he was replaced in right field and received an ovation he kept raising his hands trying to get more of an ovation. Humility just a few minutes later was when Matt Olson left the game he received an ovation but all he did was lift his cap in acknowledgement. That's humility.

Quote?? Who said he celebrates too much?? Who said he never gets in trouble? Someone did say he is a good dude....I guess he's a good dude for finally marrying his girlfriend after two children and only because her visa was about to expire.
Celebrating is doing so for your team. Showboating is when it is for yourself.

Okay so this much darker than I had anticipated.

Shall we say 'greatness does not equate character'....think Ty Cobb considered one of the best players in history but not exactly a man of character. He was considered the meanest baseball in history. Think, Pet Rose, who was considered one of the greatest. Where is he? Banned from baseball and should be in the Hall of Fame but will never happen....gambling on the game and even on your own team.... Not saying Acuna is in the league of those two (and there are others) but don't say he is a good guy and humble. Say he is a great player and let it go.

I see Mrs. Enscheff has joined us. I’m humbled to be surrounded by 2 perfect people now. We are truly blessed.

Not quite perfect and not Mrs. Enscheff but honored to be listed with someone who is a Brave's fan and honest and objective.

Oh, is that what it's called. Good to know. I bet you were irate when the camera panned to him in the dugout and he had the nerve to be wearing fancy sunglasses.
Not trying to proove anything. His steals account for about 10% of his offensive value. Draw from that whatever you will.

Irate? Of course not. Glad that it proved my point....he's all about attention for himself. He was given a choice to stay in the game. He could have and helped the team tie the homerun record but of course why should that matter to him...it was about the team and not him.

Okay, I'll tell my sister you said to have a good evening. Have a good evening Ken. BTW did you vote for Matt Olson for the Roberto Clemente award, the MOST prestigious award in all of baseball? ......... probably not because you wouldn't want to take any glory away from your idol. (of course he wouldn't come close to qualifying for this award).
