How am I a "party pooper" I agree that Acuna is amazing. I have followed him since the minors. I am just saying that Betts is there this year too.

Acuna is great and this accomplishment is great. Go Braves!

Acuna is the best player in the NL and was my first pick in all my fantasy leagues when I could get him. I do think he is the best player on the best team. Am I really trolling Acuna fans?

But not a good enough grasp to realize you're in the Acuna thread and not the NL MVP thread, right?

I feel the need to shift this thread.

US250 is Acuna’s true rookie card

Serious question. Has Bill James weighed in on the MVP debate? I would like to know his thoughts.

They can probably answer that question in the NL MVP thread.

Agreed, what are the other options?

You’re trying to hijack the thread, so yeah.

I believe this statement is undeniable.

Canseco, Bonds, Arod, and Soriano likely had some questionable things going on. Acuna does have the pitching rule change that is obviously helping steals, but everything looks like he is playing within the rules.

I am simply replying. I tried to move on to the RC discussion. I would like to see how that plays out. I am curious what people think are his top 10 RCs.

Topps Chrome Super
Shapphire Super
Bowman Super

Other?

Haven't looked at his stats to verify, but I've been listening to Brandon and Frenchy talk about how he's been one of the bright spots in their pen

This just popped in my SGC account. With the off-center top/bottom, guess a 9 is right.

With the 3 runs scored so far tonight, Ronnie is up to 143. Can he get 9 more (or less if he add another 1-2 tonight) in 8 games? That will tie him with Jeff Bagwell with 152 runs in a season. Most of the folks above Bagwell are pre-1900s except the Babe, Gehrig, Hornsby + 2 lesser names, none in the modern era.

If he plays all 8’games I think he’s got a >50% shot. I think he’s gonna sit 2 or 3 of them tho
