Has now homered in 5 straight games with a leadoff homer in 3 straight and 4 of the last 5.

His numbers since being moved to the leadoff spot are off the charts.

Not counting tonight's leadoff homer, Acuna's stats since being put in the leadoff role:

22 games, .360 avg, .424 OBP, .787 slg, 1.211 OPS, 10 homers, 6 doubles, 1 triple, 20 RBI, 23 runs

Not surprisingly, the team win loss record has been trending positively since then too.

Added another single and a 3 run bomb since the leadoff homer.

For real though, Acuna is a beast. Now sporting a 145 wRC+ on the season. I was at the Phillies game tonight (2-1 loss) and saw that the Braves were down 6-5 when the Phillies and Red Sox were tied in the 8th. Things went downhill from there

Acuna is every bit the star he was predicted to be

On another note, how the hell are the Phillies in a pennant race, that lineup is dreadful

Gabe Kapler should start getting some love

They have the best rotation in the NL East.

That was total bullshit. Suspend the pitcher for a month. Lucky the dude didn’t break his elbow.

Cowardly act.

I wish he didn't get ejected though. I was hoping he'd get an at bat.

Yep going to be a brawl for sure

I doubt it. Warnings were issued when Urena got tossed, and I truly believe he acted alone since Mattingly is his manager.

And as much as I want revenge, I don't want to take it out on an innocent player, and we can't afford to get Gausman tossed in the second inning.

No doubt in my mind that mattingly called for it

Revenge in the 6th.

It was a certainly an "old school" move. I wonder...

If we are old school tonight, Realmuto will be wearing one soon. It almost has to happen.
