He was DFA'd, but cleared waivers so he can and did chose to remain in the 60 man pool. No one claimed him. On the radio broadcast they affirmed that he is not physically hurt, but said his weight indicates something is wrong and has sapped his strength even though he insists he's fine. They suggested he begin working with a nutritionalist and try and work on his health and gain some weight. I dunno but I heard once he was a pretty heavy smoker.. unverified though.

Smart hitting by Acuña there. Swinging at the first pitch you see at your ankles right after the pitcher walks a guy is a great recipe for success. I never understand how a major leaguer can do that

Luke gets him 0-2 and starts that stupid nibbling.

Markakis very candid & going as far as to say “I bailed on them.” It didn’t sit right watching them all be out there taking risks in order to play. He plans to talk to the entire team & apologize. “We all make mistakes.” Under the circumstances, to me there is no need to apologize, hey he is a 15 yr veteran and he has established credibility in this game Maybe some do not like his WAR and lack of HR power but when he is out there he is a professional as you can ask for - and still a pretty good line drive hitter with doubles and OBP

Yep, Acuna has his head in his hindend right now. He is the type of athlete that seems to feed off the crowd noise, my theory (and its a wild guess) is that playing before no fans is messing with his focus. Not a good excuse but hey, the game is played with the human emotions, of course he had better start getting over it - scrape the S of his shoes and start doing his job better. He is still young, needs to grow up some in my book

As I posted in the other tread, maybe some Gwinnett time can do Folty some good. It did last year
There is a reason other teams did not bite on him its not that he has that prohibitive salary by todays business
