I thought Acuna was said to have plus tools as a fielder and thrower? Yeah that was fake news. He’s Juan Pierre

Man Chip comes off as patronizing way too much. It's ok to rave about the other team every now and then, but Chip takes it to another level.

Well Gausman prolly got as much run support as he is used to ,we didn't want to give him to many changes too fast

I thought Acuna was said to have plus tools as a fielder and thrower? He was. and I saw him make a pinpoint laser throw from RF in a game in Charlotte last year. I think it’s just his foot positioning. He’s made a couple of bad throws lately but he hasn’t lined up and set his feet properly. He may end up being a good defensive OF some day but he has a lot of work to do on routes and setting his feet to throw.

I thought Acuna was said to have plus tools as a fielder and thrower? I haven't seen it defensively. He does have a good, accurate arm when he is in position and can get his body into it but his routes to the ball haven't been very good and leads to his throws being much weaker and off line. He relies more on raw speed and athletic ability than instincts IMO. DOH! You beat me to it!
