Acuna also selfishly used up another ABS challenge "protecting" his pride. Maybe he'll go 5-for-5 tomorrow. But, it will simply be a case of a blind cow finding an acorn. He's been injured to death. When he had Ohtani caught between 1 and 2nd, he should have (and we were always taught to) run straight at Ohtani. This does two things: shortens the inevitable throw (unless he freezes and you tag him out) and makes HIM COMMIT to a base where a throw would have created and OUT in lieu of a double OR a single. He doesn't think like a baseball player anymore, but a spoiled child who WW and AA will not and probably cannot provide authority and discipline to anymore.

Amen!
Wonder if WW will START Kim at SS today?
