What made baseball fun this week: We’re living in Ronald Acuña Jr.’s world, Pirates no longer stink!

The Dude of the Week, man: Ronald Acuña Jr. can do no wrong as a human being

I don’t really care what you have to say; it is Ronald Acuña Jr.’s world and we are just living in it, Dawg. He is the first month of the season’s NL MVP. His knee works. He is stealing more bases than Rickey Henderson. He is putting balls into bleachers and butts into seats, even after you try to throw at him. I have never wanted to do a somersault after stealing a base more than right now.

You could say I like The Way You Move, good sir. The Whole World outside of the ATL may think differently about you, but whatevs. When you’re hitting Bombs Over Baghdad on the reg, people will start to pay attention to you more than they probably wanted to. While Ronnie is So Fresh and So Clean, it is kind of hilarious to think that the rest of the world does not realize its Roses stank…

Haters gonna hate, and we’re gonna celebrate and have a good time, y’all. That’s really what baseball is all about. Being ride or die with your favorite guys you watch on your local RSN, and not care about anybody else on the other 29 teams. I love the tribalism of this sport and makes it fun to follow along with, from at least a regional perspective, just as long as your team does not suck.

As long as Ronnie Béisbol keeps doing Ronnie Béisbol things, I have a summer to look forward to.

But what about the fans??? | Oh, my god! We’re having a fire … sale! | So this is a thing now?!
