@BurnerAckmanitsnotthewhitedudes’faultsthattheirthebestoptions

@BurnerAckmanthis isn’t a race thing, it’s an old head thing, I wanna see players pimp the shit out of nasty HRs and pitchers like Trevor Bauer in the sport, it needs it, imagine if football players didn’t celebrate after a touchdown, or basketball players not celebrating after postering someone, it would make the game more fun to watch, which is exactly the issue baseball has had for years, look at guys over in Japan, they have fun, crowd gets super involved and the games are so enjoyable to watch, mlb needs to quit with the old time bs, and intentionally hitting players with the first pitch at bat should be grounds for an immediate multi game suspension

It’s cuz the ‘sport’ sucks when you compare to most other sports so people get all offensive when you make it look easy

Do it in the playoffs is all I gotta say on it. No point in doing all thaaaaaat work through 162 to lay a fucking egg

Picking and choosing. The same organization that lamented his showboating and lack of hustle early in his career began deliberately telling him to take it easier in certain situations because they didn’t want him getting hurt going 110% in situations where the game was already well in-hand.

money

@@maxrosenbaum8502when your star player gets hurt real bad it puts things into perspective. And literally every team used to hate pimp jobs and now atleast half the teams don’t give a shit

​@maxrosenbaum8502 Telling a man to not just stand still and slowly walk cause he had multiple extra Base hits that ended up just being a single, and telling him not to go 110% on plays when the game is well in hand to prevent injury isn't contradictory. Logic lines up.

@@TexasSportsTV they told him to hustle, and then they told him not to hustle so much. Extenuating circumstances be damned, those are mixed signals.

no wayyyyy bro

"I'M 12.."

It’s a way of the game to police itself without the league getting involved but softies like manfraud have made this a dying art

​@@user-os6ps1ls3show is it policing itself? Pitchers get their feelings hurt and risk putting a guy out for multiple games and the pitcher feels vindicated. It's like a kid who throws tantrums and the parents just coddle him more

@@user-os6ps1ls3s until you realize that 100% of the unwritten "rules" exist to protect pitchers' diva egos. it's not policing anything, it just gives grown men an excuse to have no impulse control. demanding that a team wait until it's their turn on the mound to retaliate is the softest shit I've ever heard. but old heads will defend soft-ass unwritten rules because in their mind, anything that's old = hard-nosed and tough, and anything that's new = soft...

​@@user-os6ps1ls3sassaulting someone because your feelings are hurt is a coward's move and deserves at least half a season suspension every time it happens. Coaches should always be sanctioned as well when it happens. Ridiculous, childish behavior that's just widely accepted. Old school baseball players are just snowflakes who can't stand their ego being slightly hurt, and the game will be so much better off when all of them are long gone.

Acuña gets his revenge by stealing 2 bases and scoring on a wild pitch

You have some serious issues. You should consider talking to a therapist about your inability to focus

Well that's what happens when you ban charging the mound. How many of these piss weak pitchers would throw at him if they had to back it up?

They banned charging the mound? What kind of **** is that!

@@louiscypher4186 Well having the Universal DH. When pitchers faced retaliation from the other side, they had to consider if it was worth it.

@@recoil53 Yeap multiple reasons why the "unwritten rules" are stupid. They lack context and historical understanding of why they exist. But by golly will people cling to them anyway. Its monkey ladder, scenario.

Pitchers do this because the league lets them get away with it. If they cared, they'd put down some rules to get rid of this stuff, or force every pitcher to have at least one at bat in a game they pitch in. Then they'll change real fast

For real I never think about baseball until the season is back and then it's all I think about during season

How can you watch something that doesn’t exist

Amen brother

I have no idea where you're able to watch this nonexistent sport.

Like Fox “News,” the Post legally defines itself as entertainment rather than a legitimate news outlet, so they’re basically allowed to say almost anything they want.

Well, how else is Thor going to know that you're not happy with him?

@@bipolarminddroppings Did anyone else think of Noah Syndegaard for a moment there?

It is entertainment, it's showing contagious passion for something. I just love it in all sports, yes kids celebrate your achievements!

When Acuna, Albies, and Arcia clown around together it's fun as all get out! Plus, it's great for the camaraderie of the team! Ask any player on the Braves ... They love being in their clubhouse! 40 year old Charlie Morton came back for another year, some of which was because he loved coming to the ballpark so much and hanging out with his teammates!

I keep seeing people say this and yet baseball keeps bleeding viewership. It's nowhere near what it was 15 years ago. The more they keep trying to change baseball and make it more like the NBA, the more it fails

@@tankwfw Basketball is a trash sport. Hockey and soccer are real sports. Champions league is the ultimate in sports and if you dont like NHL you're a scumbag.

@@tankwfw i think thats just a product of time to be honest. 1994 lost a lot of its fans

Yeah, sports aren't supposed to be fun, what does this kid think he's doing?

I love seeing old school baseball fans foaming at the mouth because their feelings are hurt by a teensy weensy bat flip. The snowflakes crying about "respect" are hilarious.

All these old heads always got to hate the rising star

I’m old af and I love that shyt! We need to get more kids interested in baseball and if that means pimping a HR or seeing who can do the biggest bat flip I’m all for it!!!

Managers moving strings likely, and/or the players following the "unwritten" rules of the MLB... The don't like change that much in there

It's really telling of the kind of person acuna is..

@@jcstothe unwritten rules of the mlb is why baseball in the league is boring as fuck to watch

Because Acuna is a shit teammate

@skyflipz7642 if you need guys dancing around and twirling bats to be entertained, baseball isn't your sport. Go watch the ballet or a musical

You sound like a cry-baby. He can get a different job if getting hit by a baseball every now and then is too much.

Yeah, because even when it's pretty obviously intentional the pitchers can still deny it and there's no way of proving otherwise. Can't be punishing people just on feelings And pitchers taunt guys a lot less when they're not feeling taunted. Nothing in team sports is more 1v1 than pitcher vs hitter. Expecting everyone to just be OK with people partying at their expense is ridiculous

It’s still comical to me a team can win 100s games two years in a row and then get beat by the same team in the NLDS two years in a row 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

​@@BKDButLike others have pointed out, a 97mph fastball to the elbow is NOT suitable punishment for showboating. Get better at pitching and strike his ass out, then give him a taste of his own medicine. That's how to beat him, not plunking him because he "hurt your feelings."

@@Squimpleton yeah, that's completely irrelevant to what I said

The Marlins are pathetic! 🤢🤮

What do you mean by that

@@mag1ckyle799marlins hit this mf in almost every game they played because their pitchers couldn’t strike him out, if he’s better, he’s just better, intentionally trying to injure a player because he’s pimped so many home runs on your ass should tell you that you need to get better, not intentionally hit him bc they’re trash

I'm with you, how about we just allow sports to evolve with the times? Football (Soccer) has been around for 200 years, in 1900 players didn't celebrate goals with anything more than a fist pump, and a polite golf clap from the crowd. By the time when I was a kid, goal celebrations were just a guy running with his hands in the air, maybe one of his teammates might come over and give him a hug or a kiss on the forehead if it was a particularly important or spectacular goal. But, there were occasional players that came along, mostly foreigners and youngsters, who began to celebrate more elaborately, and guess what? after some initial reluctance, the game evolved. Celebrations have gotten bonkers, to the point that they had to introduce rules to stop time wasting. you get a yellow card for taking your shirt off, not because it's considered crass or over the top, but because it wastes time having to wait for them to put it back on before the game can restart. If Football can evolve with the times, I don't see why baseball can't. The solution seems simple, allow celebrations, batflips, dancing etc, so long as you aren't time wasting too much.

The fact that he’s from another country and speaks a different language also lends itself to misunderstandings, both accidental and intentional.

Bro literally didn't know who Micky Mantle was lol

@@bipolarminddroppingsit’s because the old heads want “good old fashioned baseball nothing is allowed to change bring back steroids” blah blah blah bs. I think acuña is the start to evolving baseball but we need more players to follow which the closest to that rn is probably jazz Chisholm and Tim Anderson

He loves the sport? He didn't know who Mickey Mantle was. MICKEY MANTLE. He's a fucking prick.

wtf is kwiks

Yeah, it's way better than them being all hard ass running around the bases with no emotion at all. If that's professional, that's ridiculous and like a brain dead robot!

@@warlordofbritanniayeah it makes it so convenient knowing it will not be biased

@@J_Beast23 Well, I wouldn’t say he’s unbiased-this is a pretty obviously pro-Acuna video, for example. It’s that he constructs a whole video on explaining how/why he ticks people off while still pointing out that Acuna is just that good. Compare this level of effort to your typical lowbrow clickbaiter (cough, italkstudios, cough).

The kid can back it up, that's part of the reason they hate him so much, it's just pure envy.

Exactly. He's my favorite non-Orioles player. I'm happy he doesn't play the "traditional" way.

Not just swag, but booty too

Same! My favorite player and made me WANT to watch baseball

@@bipolarminddroppings Exactly, he backs it up like nobody else. Someone last year plunked him (probably not intentional but who knows) and he proceeded to steal 2nd, steal 3rd and score on a wild pitch. THAT is how you get revenge for getting hit.

AGREED!

It’s honestly wild how it’s just widely accepted for them to intentionally throw at hitters. I blame all the dumb unwritten rules baseball has.

i think they except it cause he massively boosts the numbers. similar to how ufc allowed mcgregor and khabib to fight. they want that spice and drama and emotion.

That's what I adore about hockey is that if a player intentionally harms another player then that guy is expected to face retaliation from the opposing team's teammates. Heck even in football (soccer) the pther teammates tends to defend their own when shit like that happens.

@@shawklan27 I don’t disagree with retaliation in the case of foul play (like your example of a hockey player intentionally hurting someone). But we saw here that the Marlins threw at Acuña simply bc they didn’t want to be the team that gave up the record (or maybe not the whole team, but the pitcher for sure did it intentionally). I’m just saying that it feels weird to compliment pitchers for not challenging a player that’s “too good” and instead acting macho about running away from the face-off by beaming them

​@@johnmarkson1998If they except it, it wouldn't change any numbers, but if they accept it, it might.

At least he was able to rebound quite well, unlike Carson Wentz…

@@markkostka6897we must’ve read two different things.

I don't think its sad at all... I mean, yeah it sucks to watch your boys playing on the biggest stage without you, but his talent and enthusiasm for the game was/is probably the biggest reason they got that far

I'm a Braves fan and he is fun to watch. Elly De La Cruz (Cincinnati Reds) is another young player who is fun to watch.

It's like the beginning of the video made him look like a poor menace from Venezuela.

for real, as someone who is a soccer/football fan this guy made me feel passionate abt baseball

Yeah the way pitchers went after Harper his first couple years was some of the most chickenshit stuff I have ever seen in sports. I'm a Braves fan and thus Philly hater but that plus "it's A coon YA" have made me a Harper fan for life

They STILL HIT HIM TO THIS DAY . And he pimps every homerun a little extra as he should Its like hes on a marlin diet cuz all he does is rake vs them

​@@t004sm0keuse your rotting brain. If someone always hits tanks against you, why do anything other than put them on first base

Per game it has less fans but because of the sheer volume of games, it sells more tickets than the NFL, NHL, and NBA combined. It also has better attendance per game now than it did in the 90's.

@@mchonkler7225right, but do people watch it on tv, no

@@mchonkler7225Of course they sell more tickets than other leagues. They play 162 games. NFL plays 17. NBA plays 82. Both sports are way more popular because they modernized the game and don’t have these ridiculous unwritten rules. Baseball wants to control players and wants them to be “humble”.

That’s good sports

the second part is already like that ((diving into it) it doesn't count)... The first makes sense but it changes too much the baseball statistics and the history, so it better get more penalized instead

This is absolutely ridiculous "Pitchers should be good enough to not hit the player" So players can completely crowd the plate So pitchers apparently aren't throwing 95 mph anymore So pitchers can't ever lose grip So pitchers can't ever throw a bad breaking ball that doesn't break There's no way you're actually a baseball fan and said this
