Yall think Harris isn’t as active on the bases because he hits in front of Acuna and they don’t want to potentially take the bat out of his hands? He definitely should be running more often than he does, Acuna being up is the only reason I can think of for why he isn’t.

Gotta be the reason.

Harris and Albies shouldn’t have single digit steals at this point.

Definitely a possibility but I would put it more on injuries. Seems like everybody forgot that he fukked up his back sliding into 2nd early this year. He was wearing a big ass brace on his knee too. That's why he was struggling at the plate for awhile. Even though he's back to his real self at the plate, he/the team still might not wanna risk him on steals as often. He still would end up with close to 25 across a full season at his current pace.

Ozzie is fast, but not so fast that I expect him to be running a lot. He's only 63rd percentile for sprint speed this season, slightly above average. He should be good for about 15 steals, which is slightly over what's he's on pace for.

Ronnie can do what he wants, but we have 20-30 HR power from all 9 guys in the lineup(10 including d'Arnaud) so we probably shouldn't be running too often as a team in the first place.

I was shocked to see that Freddie Freeman has more steals than Ozzie. That shouldn’t be the case. He should be good for 25.

Also I don’t like to be 100% reliant on the home run. In the playoffs you will need to manufacture runs.
