In the last three of those games, Acuna has hit a leadoff home run, as the Braves' first batter of the game. Only one other player in baseball's modern era (since 1900) has hit a leadoff homer in at least three straight games -- that was Brady Anderson, who did it in four straight for the Orioles from April 18-21, 1996. Anderson was 32 when he accomplished the feat, though, which makes Acuna the youngest.

But will be. Stupid. Joe Mauer isn't the reason why this team is losing 90+ games! Eh. That's enough of that noise. He just isn't a guy who makes an impact on games. He is a table setter with no speed and plays first base. He will be 36 and has a concussion history but hey.... Maybe he's willing to cut us a break and give a hometown discount. Stop the insanity Just let go

Joe West's umping numbers are impressive, considering he didn't ump any mlb games in 2000 or 2001

Someone wasn't happy with all the attention Acuna was getting with his leadoff HRs. Jose Ureña was too much of a coward to challenge Ronald Acuña Jr. on Wednesday night, so instead he hit him with a 97-mph fastball. Isn’t it time we started calling pitchers who do what Ureña did – bury a baseball into a hitter because the hitter had the audacity to be great – exactly what they are? Coward works. So does chicken. Or yellow. Anything to stigmatize the stupidity of this act, which is so old, so tired, so beyond stupid and so contrary to the objective of the game: be better than your opponent. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/jose-urenas-cowardly-actions-ronald-acunas-injury-call-longer-suspensions-053506149.html ------------------------ What a jerk!!! Not a cool way to take away a chance at history.

twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (8/16/2018 8:38:38 AM)
I see Acuna initially stayed in the game. But when he got into the field to start the 2nd inning, he couldn't stay in the game.

From what I've read they did tests and were waiting on a CT Scan Pretty dirty. The pitcher showed no remorse. Have to agree, crap like that deserves more than 10 games.

I see Dansby Swanson and I see an SMF kinda guy. Like a modern-day JJ Hardy. I'm positive SMF has a man crush on Swanson. Surprised we haven't heard about it yet. [:)]
