Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. appeared to call out manager Brian Snitker in a social media post that the star outfielder quickly deleted on Sunday.
Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic embarrassed himself during his team’s 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night when he went into a home run trot on a ball that was not a home run. The game was tied 3-3 in the top of the sixth inning when Kelenic lifted a high fly ball into deep right field off Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson.
Kelenic thought he had hit a home run and slowly jogged down to first base. He had to hustle to second when the ball fell short of the wall and was tagged out. You can see the video here.
Following the game, Snitker was asked if he spoke with Kelenic about the lack of hustle. The manager essentially pleaded ignorance by replying “was I supposed to?”
