Some Stats for the Off Day

I wonder if MLB will revisit the pitcher disengagement rule in the offseason. If they don't, and this is the status quo going forward, Acuna might rack up some truly staggering stolen base totals by the end of his career. He might steal 75 bases this season, and while speed and athleticism tend to fade pretty quickly, a few seasons like that can put him on a glide path to some huge numbers.

I kind of wish he would stop stealing so much. The one flaw in Acuna's game is he has been a little injury prone going back to his days in the minors. I cringe every time I see him attempt a SB.

Magic number is 44.

Too soon? Heavenly Hank gives it a thumbs up anyway.
