Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Auckunya Jr. suggested double standards within the clubhouse after a certain accident by his teammates stopped responsibilities from manager Brian Snicker.
Fellow outfielder Jarred Kelenic was seen jogging to one base after a hard hit ball he believed would become a home run. However, the ball hit the wall rather than hit the wall, and Kellenick panics as he tries to sprint into the second base for a double instead of staying first.
It was a wise decision as he was dumped in 2 base by Minnesota Twins players in a replay review.

Currently, Kellenick’s error against base pass did not prevent the twins from beating Saturday at 4-3.
However, his decision to kick him out of the batsman’s box when he contacted the ball is something many have called on social media. If he hadn’t done so, he could be in 2 base Safe rather than returning to the dugout.
Jose Bellios of the Blue Jays stands up against Mariners’ Cal Laurie, whom he believes is stealing the sign.
However, Snitker had no AA issues with Kelenic.
“Am I supposed to do that?” Snitker said when asked if he had told Kellenick about the play after the game.
Snitker hadn’t seen the issue, but Acuña seemed to think that it wasn’t.

Acuña responded to an X post by MLB.com reporter Mark Bowman about Snitker’s comments on Kelenic, and was clearly checked.
“If it was me, they’d take me out of the game,” Aknya said in his post, which was subsequently deleted.
Acuña has a history of the events.
In 2019, Snitker put him on the bench due to an accident at the base when he did the same thing as Kelenik. However, Acuña decides to stay on 1 base after realizing that the ball wasn’t out as much as he wanted.

“He didn’t run,” Snitker said at the time. Via ESPN. “You have to run, there’s nothing to accept here.”
So I understand why Aknya is upset with the treatment of Kerenic in her snitted car.
