Ronald Acuna Jr. used his blazing speed to score from third on a pop-up to second

Acuna is FAST.

We’ve been over this, just last week: Ronald Acuna Jr. is FAST.

How fast? Speedy enough to beat out a routine ground ball to shortstop, as he did against the Philadelphia Phillies.

If you need further proof, there’s what he did on Monday night. Acuna was 90 feet from home in the third inning of an eventual loss to the Miami Marlins, when Ozzie Albies hit a high pop up behind second base. Jazz Chisholm had to run back when shortstop Miguel Rojas couldn’t find it, and upon Chisholm snagging it while stumbling backwards, Acuna took off.

Of course he scored. Because he’s FAST!!

Would other players make that risky move with a rookie second baseman stumbling back in very shallow center to tag up? Possibly? But with Acuna’s speed, it doesn’t matter.

Trevor Bauer responds to Ronald Acuna Jr. trash talk with a supercut of Braves strikeouts

The trash talk continues!

It began, it seems, with Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer talking trash to Atlanta Braves fans after his squad was eliminated from the MLB postseason.

Then, the back-and-forth was escalated by Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr., who mocked the Bauer strut from September and told him to “Gooo homeeee.”

Well, Bauer did just that. And when he got home, he tweeted a supercut of Braves strikeouts — one of Acuna is included of course — along with his strut. His caption? “Homeeee.”

It’s a very funny response, but of course all Acuna has to do is to say “Scoreboard.” Instead, he went with “Hahahahahhahahhaa you funny bro.”

This is so good, I want more!

Ronald Acuna appears to troll Trevor Bauer after Braves eliminate Reds

Acuna got the last word in.

The always-outspoken Trevor Bauer took to Twitter after his Cincinnati Reds were eliminated from the 2020 MLB postseason and trolled Atlanta Braves fans on the way out.

It was during that series that he mocked the problematic and mostly eliminated chop that Braves fans have done over the years, and in September, he was seen on the mound doing the Vince McMahon strut on the mound after a Christian Yelich strikeout (see below).

But now? The Braves’ Ronald Acuna is getting the last word in, and it looks like he’s mocking that Bauer strut right back at the pitcher without actually naming him.

This was the original Bauer strut:
