Acuna Jr. Punking Out

[lawcalcock]

Ronald Acuna is 7-50 since Snitker benched him for loafing. Need to give him a couple of days off or kick his ass again. He might be tired since he is late on every fastball.

You're not wrong, but he should be fine. He's only missed 2 games this year and started the All-Star game and home run derby. The 40-40 talk is extra pressure. Hopefully we can rest everyone after dispatching the Nationals. Magic number is 19 with 23 games to play.

P.S. Do you think Acuna or anyone will ever have a 50-50 season?

Baseball players go through slumps. Unfair to say he is punking out. Did you think Freeman was punking out when he had a slump?

No. If you hit that many homers, you won't steal as man bases. 40-40 is amazing. 30-30 is prolly more reasonable.

He's at 36-33 right now at age 21 and 180 pounds. So he will definitely add weight and slow down. IMO the real issue would be that steals are a smaller part of the game than they once were, for whatever reasons.

Got to get on base to steal.

Him and Bryce Harper seem to be going in opposite directions
