R-R-Ron Acun-a

Is that just me?

Maybe I need to find a different hobby.

After I read this, the song "Athena" by The Who popped into my head. You could make a substitution with that as well.

Looking at this Braves team... I'm not so sure Acuna gets the call next week. They are winning and the OF is pretty much set.

Preston Tucker is off to an incredible start... making $565K. He won't be benched until he cools off.

Ender Inciarte is in the 2nd year of a 4 year $40M+ contract... they arn't gonna let $10M ride the bench.

Nick Markakis is the slugging RF'er and is Freemans protection.

He might be in AAA for a few more weeks.

Thats fine.. gives us more time to keep buying and increasing the hype

Let's see if he gets off the 0-fer today vs David Hess in Norfolk.

moosetequila · 04-08-2018, 01:49 PM

0-3 so far today with 2 SO's... slow start for sure. Maybe AAA pitchers are better than ST pitchers!

ST pitchers arn't always trying to get guys out. That HR off Tanaka... pitchers who know they are in the rotation are just trying to put the work in. Work on pitches... put in a solid 3 IP or 55 pitches if that's the pitch count.

AAA is a whole different animal. Many of the guys are former MLB players and take this game very serious. Acuna is 20 and he is playing with guys 6-8 years older than him that have played in the Majors... and hope one day to get back.

Andrew Susac C - 28 year old catcher with 104 MLB games on his resume

Ruben Tejada SS - 28 year old with 2100 MLB ABs

Alex Presley RF - 32 year old with 1400 MLB ABs

Michael Saunders - 31 year old with 2450 MLB ABs

You are 28-30 and this 20 year old #1 overall prospect is on the other team... you know it.. and will pay more attention to him... Susac probably did some work in the week leading up to Fridays game.

Ottomatic · 04-08-2018, 02:52 PM

Also maybe it's two games.

should we expect Mega box Prices to increase as to how Otani has doubled today from $100 to $200 raw and Mega Boxes are getting close to over $70 each now as opposed to $55

I would think that since Mega Boxes are now more expensive all other players especially the TOP 5 or so should go up.

Acuna sits currently at $55-65

thoughts?

Arguably, come to think of it, quite possibly it's this.
And by quite possibly I mean...it's no doubt definitely #@#@#@#@ing this

moosetequila · 04-09-2018, 08:49 PM

0-11 with 1 walk 4 SO, pretty awful so far.

People who bought during his hot spring training are filing chargebacks and requesting returns as we speak. It was fun while it lasted!
