ATLBham Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m surprised they went with the new ball. It seemed like the idea was to entice new audience with more offense, so I’m surprised they’d swap with a ball that would drop offense around the league so heavily. If MLB loses its viewership they have nobody to blame but themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if MLB changed the balls back. That's one thing d'Arnaud hinted at, the ball has been known to change during the season before. You'd think MLB would just pick a ball like, I don't know, every other **** sport. If you want the juiced ball, fine. Pick it and leave it. NashvilleFalcon01 and Malachore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 After the game at AAA, Acuna held a presser. He said he feels great and ready. He said he's felt ready for two weeks but knows it's out of his control. He said he'll be ready to go when the medical staff clears him. He was asked about limitations but just said he feels great and is waiting on a decision. He was asked if playing these longer games was making an impact on the body, he said he felt great and is just ready for a decision. It sounds like Ronald is just pushing to be medically cleared. Could be why they're bringing him along slowly. If he does feel sore or something he wouldn't admit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Happy Opening Day everyone! Weird that they scheduled Opening Day for the third game of a series, yet here we are. youngbloodz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I have a strange feeling that Drew Smyly is going to hang a curve tonight and Acuna is going to seriously injure someone in the OF seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'm glad Demeritte stayed. Hes playing really well and is more of a natural OF than Arcia. I expect he'll get an opportunity to win LF. He played 163 games there as a minor leaguer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him in Gwinnett last year he looked out of place in AAA. Yeah, he definitely has impressive stats in the minors. He deserves a real shot. His only shot to this point was on a 47 win Tigers team. I think he's ready to seize the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Acuna will not be the primary RF. He'll split time between there and DH for awhile. Braves also plan to give him a fair share of days off and ease him back in. VNlanta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even a Kevin Kiermaier. He won't give you much with the bat but he's a tremendous CF. His OPS is nearly 100 points higher against RHP. A platoon could work there.

I still question if Mullins is truly the guy we got in 2021. He's off to a terrible start this year. He could bounce back but guys with no record worry me.
