Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. exposes double standard with team: 'They would take me out of the game'

It was an ill-advised decision, as he was thrown out by a Minnesota Twins player at second base upon replay review. 

But his decision to trot out of the batter's box when he made contact with the ball is what many were calling out on social media. If he hadn't done so, he's likely at second base safe instead of heading back to the dugout. 

Snitker, though, didn't have a a problem with Kelenic. 

"Was I supposed to?" Snitker said when asked if he spoke to Kelenic about that play after the game. 

While Snitker didn't see an issue, Acuña appeared to think otherwise. 

Acuña responded to MLB.com reporter Mark Bowman's X post about Snitker's comment regarding Kelenic, and was clearly ticked off.

"If it were me, they would take me out of the game," Acuña said in his post, which has since been deleted.

Acuña has history of that happening. 

In 2019, Snitker benched him for mishaps on the bases, when he did the same thing as Kelenic. Acuña, though, decided to stay at first base after realizing the ball didn't go out as he had hoped. 

So, it's understandable why Acuña would be upset with Snitker's treatment of Kelenic.
