@mlbbowman Yeah - makes a ton of sense because “velo” is his issue. Good lord. Have they not seen your stats and others around his starts on normal rest? Please ask that question next time.
@CJNitkowski Their run to the playoffs started after he was hurt. His stats were good earlier that year but weren’t leading to team wins consistently.
His play in 2021 clearly did not make enough of difference similar to this year when he came back in May.
@CrosbyBaseball Sadly he’s not looking great defensively. It’s clear as day. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the surgeries - just doesn’t look smooth or very comfortable with balls like this. He completely lets a ball drop at his feet in the 10th?
@BarrettSallee That’s a bad send for 3 reasons - outcome is secondary.
1 - Ball was crushed and got to the wall quickly
2-RF made a great play on it, catching it on 1 bounce off the wall, immediately firing it in
3 - Austin wasn’t running on contact bc there was 1 out
@BeaneaterB How is he dead wrong in saying they won a WS w/o Acuna? The 21 team turned it around after he got hurt dude. He had no part in that run. They were barely a .500 team with him.
@BeaneaterB I agree with you that his injuries have not been his fault, but it’s tough to
argue that his performance has been what we expected. You can’t get mad at people being pissed at his performance bc end of the day, we’re “fans” lol. Hope he comes back strong when he’s healthy!
@Talkmaster@GuntherEagleman Stop him from what exactly? You really think he’s planning to invade further European countries? Surely you have more historical context /knowledge than that.
@ajc Wow, what a headline. Not at all the headline most people would take away after watching the video. You going to share the rest of the story and the video? Or are you posting clickbait?
