I mean for fuck's sake , yall aint beating your meat over Riley nor Albies - both of whom have more HRs than Knees.

[swampknob]

That's because Acuna is better than both of them for OPS....a more important metric than HRs....especially for a leadoff bat.

[Gut_Pile]

Don't bring logic into this swamp

[nitro5x6's]

Damn right. Yall can hug Acunas balls all you want. I aint doin it.

Snitker didn't forgive him for acting like an azz and I am not gonna either.

[flockbuster]

If that is the case, why Knees only have 7 Home runs in 177 at bats?? Inquiring minds want to know.

You have to actually hit the ball to hit homeruns

[2thDoc]

by chance did acuna make unwanted advances to your daughter or something?
i havent hated an athlete this much....ever.
steve tanneyhill for a day or two but I got over it.

Acuna is my right fielder. I dont recall why you hate him so much? I admit i didnt like his grandstanding when he was younger but i dont see that from him any more. He's a decent lead off batter.

I hated David Justice the way Nitro does Acuna... Still loved Braves then, love the Braves now.

Know a huge difference between Justice and Acuna ??

Justice has actually taken the field and played in the World Series. Six times. His teams won twice. Played 3 times as a Brave. Won in '95 and twice with the Yankees, winning in 2000. He also made it as a playing member of the Cleveland Indians WS team in '97.

Knees has however sat in the dugout a couple times during a World Series game. So he got close. He did get a WS ring in '21 - on welfare.

Don't you try and bring logic into this conversation.. LOL
I still can't stand that joker!!!

[Gut_Pile]

Luis Sojo has 4 WS rings

Ken Griffey Jr never made it to the WS. Neither has Mike Trout

WTF does any of that have to do with the value of a player?

[Gut_Pile]

Nitro can not like him all he wants. But Acuna is the most talented player on the roster. And according to his hitting coach, and Chipper Jones, the most talented to ever wear a Braves jersey.

Dollar for dollar, he is also the best value in the game right now.

At the end of the day, Nitro just doesn't know baseball

[2thDoc]

look at the gut pile throwing hands!

[2thDoc]

and I dont know baseball for shit but I know a juiced baseball when I see one.

and the USMNT plays their last friendly on saturday against germany before the world cup.

the world cup, you might ask, is the largest sporting event in the world.

[b-stick]

Acuna is by the most talented on the roster, but it also seems as if he is also the laziest on the roster.

Riley isn't hitting worth a damn but he's only .260 lifetime hitter. He is currently just above .200. He will get hot.

Temu Kim isn't hitting either.

DFA Kim and hope another team picks him up.

[coachhendo]

Chipper Jones, the most talented to ever wear a Braves jersey.

Hank Aaron says whats up....

"the world cup, you might ask, is the largest sporting event in the world"

Most of the world is gay.....

[Cwaysvt]

Dubon has proved to be a good addition. Batting well and pretty versatile player.

Fun to watch someone who actually appears to enjoy playing.

[2thDoc]

i saw acuna hit the cut off man.
Sweep of the pirates and livvy dunne.

go braves

[nitro5x6's]

That was the only hit knees made.

Fly out and 3 Ks for another 0fer performance.

So are we just going to pick and choose when to call him out?

Forehead had a big 0fer as well. You hate him as well.
