Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 5016515, member: 2500"] Maybe the Braves don't want Acuna Jr playing with abandon like he did his first couple of years before he ripped up his ACL and missed 100+ games between '21-'22. They have an investment to protect. Much like many of the complaints about Manny Machado, it could simply be there is "selective hustle" vs "laziness" as a long term plan agreed to by both team and player in order to ensure his continued playability. It doesn't take much for a damaged knee to get reinjured, as you saw last week. [/QUOTE]
