Buster Olney joined Dukes & Bell to talk about the hot start that Ronald Acuna is off to and what is the key to get the entire Braves offense going?
Olney talked about the slow start for the Braves offense.
“It’s been a bit of a surprise, there’s no doubt about it because when you look at the lineup, obviously with Acuna being as dominant as he is.” Olney said “I do think that during the course of the year they absolutely have to get something out of Austin Riley. When you look at the structure of the lineup, the fact that Pache is a rookie centerfielder, he’s an excellent defender, he’s probably going to struggle offensively this year, they gotta get something out of Austin Riley.”
“It’s an incredibly important year for him and I think if they don’t get consistent offense out of him that you will see them in the trade market looking for help at third base because that to me is going to be a pivot point in that lineup.”
