Acuña went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts last night,and is now 1-for-21 with three walks and 13 strikeouts in his past six games.
I get you want your best player getting the most at bats, which comes at the top of the order, but it doesn't matter when he isn't hitting with such an alarming strikeout rate. Maybe bump him down to the sixth spot for a couple games and slide albies back in leadoff. Also, Acuña's attitude kinda warrants it.
Can't afford to sit him with so few games left in a tight race, so moving him down seems to be reasonable recourse.
