When is mlb or the braves going to do something about people hitting Acuna. This crap has gotten so old now.

You act like he gets hit at some egregious rate. Not counting today, he's been hit a total of one time. Lmao.

Yeah, I don't get that.  Acuna has been HBP 10 times in a season only once, and it was exactly 10 times.

Meanwhile, guys like Rizzo and France pass those rookie numbers before the all star break every season. 😂

If he keeps pace over lets say 300 PA's then we can talk. ;)

Including his MiLB numbers, he's at 15 HBP in 266 PAs (including tonight). Seems like he's just gonna be one of those types that gets hit a lot.

He's kind of your classic "diver" into the zone based upon his leg kick and shoulder angle, so his elbow is going to end up over the plate A LOT. If you want to get him out, that means throwing inside since he likes to extend his arms, and that is unfortunately going to result in a few HBP. That's not dirty most of the time, that's just baseball.
