Acuña slashed about .330/.415/.600 with 5 homers, 15rbis and 10 stolen bases almost every single month. His consistency was crazy in 2023. You knew what you were gonna from him every single week

One guy on this highlight reel said Mookie Betts was surpassing Acuna... Ronald didn't just win the MVP. He won it unanimously. Betts was a roller coaster all year with highs & lows, with an incredible August. Ronald Acuna Jr. was consistent all year long. I can't wait for the MVP race between Ohtani & Acuna this year...

Ronald was hot the entire season and turned it on that last month even higher whereas Mookie had a couple of kind of insane months and never kept pace the entire season. And he absolutely disappeared in September. It was never really in question, sports writers just wanted to generate some interest

RA should easily hit more homers in 2024. Pitchers dont want to walk him...because 2nd base is his for the taking. He cut his strikeout rate down (both walk and strikeout rates were the same) in 2023. He's going to continue to get pitches to hit....pitches he can drive!@@2005StangMan

@@paullentz1972 they’re definitely gonna take a long look at the analytics on him. Give him something to hit, it could easily be a HR, even a single turns into a double. And likewise, a walk turns into a double with his stealing ability. As long as he stays out of any contact slump, he’s looking up for another big year.

Let me say this. They say the ALE is the toughest with the Yankees, Red Sox, TB and the Jays. Nope. It's the NLE with the Braves, Phillies, now Marlins, the Nationals won the world series a couple years ago. This league has been in the play offs for the pass decade consistently

I feel the NLC is the toughest in terms of winning it since most years the top 3 teams go to the last week But NLE is toughest to stay consistent in, like the Braves and Phillies can have tough rosters but then one loss can drop a team out of the playoffs even with a good record since the other teams get hot at the right time

Anyone who thought that anyone (not just Mookie) could even have a chance of winning MVP over Acuña was either bias and or ignorant. Everyone was excited that he might be the first player in history of MLB going back to the 1800s to go 30-60 and Acuña was like naw 40-70 baby, plue some. Not even gonna talk about everything else he did, that alone wins MVP. people only Hyped up Mookie to try to make it interesting that there would be a race to MVP

Reality is often much less exciting than people hope for. It was like baseball wanted the MVP to be a race so began manufacturing one. Because it was never that close between he and Mookie. The media wanted the story line so they got it for this series. All Acuna did was keep on mashing as he had all year. Even at Mookies strongest push it never got as close as Dodgers fines might have wanted to believe. Luckily the voters had enough sense to see through it as they made it clear with a unanimous decision. So of all of the voters not a single one had Mookie 1.

Playoffs are usually a bit more random and dependent on a team catching fire at the right time. Braves had a ton of teams in the last 30 years that would be season victors against the whole league overall, but would be cold in the playoffs (or more usually, boned by moronic managerial decisions)

The top comment is why social media is garbage. Y'all are so petty & make everything hateful. Hater makes dumb comment, gets hateful replies, turns it into Acuna vs Mookie part 347. Meanwhile Betts is always so humble & likeable between this and the Matzek comments, Braves fans would be coming here to praise him, but it immediately gets poisoned. Thankfully he isnt like fans & can actually appreciate Ronnie's greatness, which makes me appreciate him even more. Be more like Mookie, less like "yungsoy"
