The star gardener of the Braves of the Atlanta, Ronald Acuña Jr., hinted at a double standard inside the Club house after a certain accident of a partner did not lead not a reprimand of the manager Brian Snitker.
The companion gardener Jarred Kelenic was seen jogging to the first base after a hard ball that believed it was going to be a home run. However, the ball hit the wall instead of reviewing it, and Kelenic panicked when trying to run to the second base for a double instead of staying at the beginning.
It was a poorly advised decision, since it was expelled by a player from the Minnesota Twins on the second base after the review of the repetition.

Now, Kelenic’s mistake in the Basepaths did not prevent the braves from defeating the twins on Saturday 4-3.
But his decision to get out of the batter’s box when he contacted the ball is what many called through social networks. If I had not done it, it is likely to be on a second safe base instead of returning to the bench.

However, Snitker did not have a problem with Kelenic.
“Was he supposed to do it?” Snitker said when asked if he spoke with Kelenic about that play after the game.
While Snitker did not see a problem, Acuña seemed to think otherwise.

Acuña responded to the X Publication of the MLB.com reporter Mark Bowman about Snitker’s comment about Kelenic, and was clearly marked.
“If it were me, they would get me out of the game,” said Acuña in his publication, which since then has been eliminated.
Acuña has a story that this happens.
In 2019, Snitker put him in search of mishaps in the bases, when he did the same as Kelenic. However, Acuña decided to stay in the first base after realizing that the ball did not go as expected.

“He didn’t run,” Snitker said at that time, through ESPN. “You have to run. It will not be acceptable here.”
Therefore, it is understandable why Acuña would be upset with Snitker’s treatment towards Kelenic.
