WTH was Acuna thinking?? Hope he gets bench for weekend series. He can’t continue to do this. This Team needs a top to bottom ass kicking. I'm beginning to think Snitker is NOT what we need.

We must give prospective players a test for baseball acumen, and if they pass we pass on them.
I would fire Snit for no other reason than how stupid we play, time and time and time again.

That was inexcusable. Totally inexcusable. The collective baseball IQ of this team sits around 71 That might be a little high for this bunch WTH, just another loss. I am losing my fight for this yr at least right now But our guys keep beating themselves. 5 out of 6 losses and they had no margin of error for this 29-29 is the high point of the yr when they hit that.

This the general feeling on this board at this time I have been a Snitker supporter in the past but not this yr. Getting beyond his control. Of course we have our share of players either undearchieving or like tonight playing stupid baseball

What was he thinking? nothing We have a couple of really good individual players that are not worth a tablespoon of dog poop as team players. Worthless as team players. Selfish,,, going for the newsreel and glory. Man, that was stupid.

Ya think? This team is completely undisciplined and makes mistakes on an almost daily basis that U10 rec teams never make.

The base running boner by Acuna......how in the hell does a major league ballplayer not understand the situation there?
I'm literally speechless.

It's not just Acuña though... Ozzie has done it... Dansby has done it. It's the whole team. They have the baseball IQ of a wet fart. This has gone on all season..

Dansby watching strike 3 go right down Broadway to end the game with his bat on the shoulders last night still pisses me off. I dont care what pitch one is looking for, when one sees it's coming to that location on that count in a very crucial situation, they better swing. No excuse for it. Rocks are more savvy than this team.

I guess what stands out to me about this play tonight by Acuna was that he had so much time for it to register with him to stop at second base, no questions asked.
You're right they all do stupid things every day.
Tonight after the wild leftie (Hernandez) was all over the place and walked Freddie in the 7th to load the bases, Ozzie came up and it was all he could do to hold up on the first pitch and it almost hit home plate. But he was so aggressive in his approach he was lunging at the ball. In his mind he was going up there hacking as hard as he could at the first pitch, end of story. And the dude had just thrown about three pitches in a row that all missed the strike zone by two feet.
Not to make any excuses, but I see the other teams doing a lot of stupid things too, I think we're just way worse at it. Today's modern game is not a thinking man's game, no fundamentals, no thinking on your feet, being alert.....all gone from the game for the most part.

At this point, I hope we are sellers at the deadline. Put us out of our misery & look to next year. We don't have a lot to sell, but it would feel good to get rid of Morton, Smyly, & Smith. There are teams dumb enough to give a decent return on those guys. Start shopping Freeman NOW. Replace Snitker, he has zero control & the team plays like morons.

I agree.. it's like this all over to a degree..
but our degree in it is a doctorate: A doctorate in stupidityzz
Plus I remember distinctly when Snit was first hired, hearing people talk about how he would make us so fundamentally sound in terms of how we played the game when some of his decision making was questioned...
I don't know everything, but I don't forget jack crap. That was a big selling point on the guy, and here we are with the dumbest most fundamentally unsound team in MLB, eclipsing even the Pirates by just sheer volume of dumbass.
Yet will Acuña sit for such a bone headed move in a season that is lost any way? Doubtful.. highly doubtful.
Yet let Acuña think about batting lefty in a joke game when the opposition is on their 3rd position player pitcher and everyone is mucking it up with laughter and Snit will pop up like the fun police waving his finger in his face.

I agree about selling off on the first three but as for Freeman maybe work at getting something done NOW if you can. They wasted too much time on that If they do not keep Freeman than take the draft pick compensation then a junk package of garbage - like what the Orioles got for Machado or the Braves got for Texiera back in 2008. I want no part of another stinking rebuild. Snitker's time is up but what do you replace him with. You could intern Washington, but as a permanent manager what names are out there? Just for discussion as for Snitker's replacement.
