Spring has Sprung

Acuna - .095 BA and .232 OPS

Keep saying you're not worried folks - that's 3 more Ks today.

Yes it's still somewhat early, but it's about time people started getting ready/into grooves. It'd be nice to hear from people watching/attending the games that it's not a contact issue at least.

He has a track record, so I'm not freaking out yet. He needs to start looking better though... this is pathetic
 
RAJ is totally fine - they are having fun trying to smash baseballs into the ocean. His BP is incredible. In two weeks he will be OBP machine. Right now, bored to tears. And a big part per someone who knows - they are swinging at crap they never would during a season. Same as pitchers throwing pitches they never would during a real game. Point is - give it two weeks. Now the guys fighting for a spot do things very differently during ST.

Yeah, nothing to freak out about - yet. Now's about the time things need to start becoming more about getting locked in though. Now that SPs are up to 4-ish IPs, we'll probably start to see more cuts this week and more playing time for the regulars so they can start dialing things in. That's always the tough thing about not being able to SEE the games - most of the announcers have gotten so bad you really can't tell much about what's happening even if you're listening.
 
oh my god people actually talking about Acuña my lord whyyyyyy how long have you been watching baseball how can you still be so incredibly simple
 
Acuna has struck out 11 times in 25 PA this spring. I don't think it's crazy at all to question what's going on. Look at acuna's 3 ST stat lines prior to this year... they look nothing like this one. As I said earlier, I'm not freaking out about it, but I also don't buy in to he's practicing his swing and misses. He's struggling right now for whatever reason.

ETA... I do expect Acuna to starting mashing soon
