Ronald Acuña Jr. Must be a better teammate, at least according to a former Braves outfielder.
Days after Acuña’s since then, Post on X removed the Brian Snitker manager about his handling of outfielder Jarred Kelenic, spoke ex-Mlber Jeff Francoeur on the subject on 680 the fan on Tuesday about the situation and went so far that Acuña “Buriedz a Teammate”. “
The origin of the situation stems from Saturday’s Braves match in which Kelenic hit the outfield and got out of the box, apparently thinking that the ball went out of the Truist park.
Nevertheless, the ball did not leave the garden and Kelenic was thrown away on second base.
MLB.com’s Braves reporter Mark Bowman wrote the next day on X that Snitker said: “I should do that?” When asked if he spoke to Kelenic about his lack of crowds.
In an answer, Acuña wrote: “If I was, they would get me out of the game.”
Francoeur, who noticed how the Braves were criticized because of their slow start, said that Acuña’s post was not something that the team needed.
“And you have a man who should be your teammate, tweet, probably in LA, something that is completely meaningless and stupid,” he said on the radio.
Francoeur then said some idea that Snitker, who was once Acuña in 2019 for a lack of crowds, is racist is ridiculous.
“And you want to continue with the context, Acuña was warned time and time again. Let’s have it, like, 10 times to run before he was ever beaten. This is the first time that Jarred Kelenic has ever done.
“And to give your context, Jarred Kelenic sat in that man Easter on Sunday morning and waited for 30 minutes for him, crying and apologized. So it context contains.
“Number three, Ronald actually buried a teammate. This would not have been a national story. You would probably not even talk about it. Okay, right? Let’s be honest. If he didn’t mention it in a tweet and put it forward. So not only that, you have bury a teammate about this by tweeting about this.”
Francoeur later said that both former manager Bobby Cox and Hall of Fame Icon Hank Aaron both preached that no one was greater than “the A.”
Francoeur admitted that Acuña is probably the most talented player in the history of the franchise, but that should not exclude him from a ‘good teammate’.
“Be a good teammate,” said Francoeur. “Be a good teammate. You earn millions of dollars. You get a child game. Be a good teammate and pull for your team.”
