I guess Winans doesn't look like one of those baseball player guys. He had a bad outing last time but I'd give him at least one more if not two more shots at it. His first two games were real nice.
It's funny how we treat players so differently. Chirinos was given a bunch of chances even though he looked like total crap every time out.
Here Chrinos, you're allowed 5 bad games. But you, Winans, one bad game and you're done.
Same thing with Heller. Did a real nice job, then had one bad outing and it was adios bro.
Oh well.

David O'Brien @dobrienatl · 51m I have a vote and would vote for Acuña, but also understand some -- especially those who don't watch him every day & see what he means to ATL -- might lean toward Betts because of defensive versatility and what he means to L.A. I do still think Acuña would still win right now.

I do still think Acuña would still win right now. What will end up hurting Acuña is power numbers compared to Betts. Betts has 6 more HR's and is slugging .605 to RA's .580

I do still think Acuña would still win right now. What will end up hurting Acuña is power numbers compared to Betts. Betts has 6 more HR's and is slugging .605 to RA's .580 I would be willing to bet there's still quite a few folks out there who will vote for Betts over Acuna just because Ronald hot dogs and Betts really doesn't. I'm real impressed in several ways how much I think Acuna has matured this year, but a lot of people will remember the way he has acted in the past and not vote for him.
Having said that, if Ronald can make 35 HR 70 SB it would maybe make a lot of those people not want to have to explain how they voted against a historic season, especially with a .330+ BA in an era where BA's are way lower.

How does a "professional" cameraman on a "major" sports network have so much trouble centering home plate in the picture and keep moving the camera all around for an entire half inning?
Let's see if he ever gets it figured out.

Yeah... plus there's also the fact that he is a Brave, and there are a fair amount in the media that just hate the Braves. One other thing is how Ronald performs in nationally televised games like this one. LA has a bigger national media audience. Those same people will be watching the Braves when they are on ESPN and big Fox. A couple or three big games on those nights here late in the season will help his cause.

You know how you can tell if the home plate umpire is going to suck?
If you're watching any MLB game.
