Game Thread: Braves Home Stand vs Twins and Cardinals
- Thread starter BhamToTexas
- Start date
Amazing the Braves have had such a poor start when they nearly set an all-time record for error-less fielding.
We got a sweep. I know it's the tWins, but I'll take it.
and the Cards are pretty mediocre too, so maybe we can get some more wins?
Acuna calls out Braves for not disciplining Kelenic
Ronald Acuna Jr. took to social media Sunday to criticize the way Braves manager Brian Snitker handled Jarred Kelenic being thrown out at second base after failing to hustle out of the batter's box on a long drive Saturday.

Acuna should have not tweeted. He’s 1000% correct that kelenic should have been yanked. Snitker says he didnt see the play until today and had talked to K about it. Regardless, Kelenic should not have been playing today.
I can’t agree more. Acuna should have bit his tongue. You talk to Snit first. But Acuna is right. He got his rear yanked a few years back for pulling an almost identical bonehead play.Acuna calls out Braves for not disciplining Kelenic

And you’re correct that Snit should sat Kelenic today.
Snitker publicly called out Acuna in 2019:
“He didn’t run,” Snitker said. “You’ve got to run. It’s not going to be acceptable here. As a teammate, you’re responsible for 24 other guys, and that name on the front is a lot more important than that name on the back of that jersey. You can’t do that. We’re trying to accomplish something special here. Personal things have to be put on the back burner.”
Acuna is right.
Is it a good look for anybody? No
But the situation was handled poorly by Snitker both times.

I know Acuna is frustrated, and he's 100% correct on hustle - but that's Snit's job, not Acuna's, too.
go to the 4:44 mark and you'll see an Alabama example of a guy who should have been benched - and he's damn lucky we won that game.

Watch Teague’s Hustle.
He flies into the picture and sets up and makes the key block to makeup for his teammates high stepping antics.
Hope Harrison bought Teague’s dinner that night.
ESPN would make that highlight of the week and praise it these days in the vein of "let the guys have fun"
It's not a good look but if Snit can publicly call out Acuna then I don't have a problem with Acuna throwing it back at him. Especially after Snit's stupid reply of "was I supposed to" in regard to Kelenic. I would have yanked him out of the game before he was even back in the dugout.
Snit, please retire, like yesterday!
So, he is sleeping in the dugout. What a pathetic manager.Acuna calls out Braves for not disciplining Kelenic

Strider back to IL after straining right hamstring playing catch
Five days after making his season debut in his return from elbow surgery, Spencer Strider landed back on the 15-day injured list with a right hamstring strain on Monday. He sustained the injury while playing catch before the Braves' game against the Cardinals on Monday. Strider allowed two runs over

I’m so tired of Iglesias. We need a real closer, not this fake one who rarely ever throws a clean inning. It feels like he does this every time they send him out there in non save situations.
