Acuña Jr. Exposes Manager's Hidden Agenda on Social Media, Quickly Deletes Controversial Post
Despite the lack of hustle, Snitker didn’t take Kelenic out of the game, raising many questions among fans who saw a mistake that could have cost the Braves a win. Kelenic may have scored on a single by Alex Verdugo that drove in Nick Allen. That would have given Atlanta a more comfortable two-run lead, though it didn’t matter with the Braves’ bullpen closing the game out with three scoreless innings.
Asked after the game if he said anything to Kelenic, Snitker replied, “Was I supposed to?”
That was a surprising response, considering the manager benched Acuña six seasons ago for watching a fly ball to right field that he thought was a home run hit the wall. Instead of a sure extra-base hit, Acuña had to settle for a single after walking down the base line. Snitker subsequently pulled Acuña from the game.
