Ronald Acuna Jr. continues to recover from a tear of the previous cross ligament which ended his 2024 season, while the latter could return to the alignment of the Braves of Atlanta in May. But that does not prevent him from giving his point of view on what is happening in the team's environment.
Indeed, the star aerobatman challenged the way in which manager Brian Snitker chose to tackle the lack of efforts by Jarred Kelenic during the victory by Atlanta's 4-3 brand against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
At the end of the sixth round, Kelenic struck a bullet in the right field which he presumed to be a circuit stroke, so he took his time to get out of the shot box. The ball finally stayed in the game and Kelenic was removed while he was trying to reach the second cushion.
After the match, we asked Snitker if he had said something to Kelenic about his bad race, to which the manager of the Braves replied: “What was I supposed to do it?” »»
Acuna, for her part, reproached Snitker for not criticizing Kelenic in a tweet deleted since.
If it was me, they would get me out of the match.
Let's say that the 27 -year -old man is not wrong, since that makes a contrast that are striking with the way in which the skipper Braves managed a similar case involving Acuna in a 2019 victory against Los Angeles Dodgers.
Acuna, almost in the same way as Kelenic on Saturday, admired a long ball on the outside field, which rather landed on the lawn and only gave rise to a simple place at a safe blow of more than one goal.
Snitker, after talking with Acuna, had then withdrawn his foal from the match before the fifth round. After the match, the manager of the Braves had criticized Acuna, who was in his second full season in the major.
He did not run. You have to run. It will not be acceptable here. As a teammate, you are responsible for the other 24 guys. This name on the front is much more important than the name on the back of this sweater. You can't do that. We are trying to do something special here and personal things must be put on the backstil. You can't drop your team like this.
Two weights, two measurements.
