Memories of Luisangel Acuna

[Edgy MD]

This man gave up his Metly life for Luis Robert, Jr., and somehow failed to be honored with a memorial thread.

I am scandalized. We all should be.

Good field

No hit

Could run.

Not his brother.

Later

He came up in 2024, replaced an injured Francisco Lindor, hit a metric ton, and saved the Mets season, before Lindor returned and saved it for good in Game 161.

This come-from-behind-victory over Philadelphia stands out, but he was all over the place in those two weeks in September. He slugged .641!!

[Cowtipper]

I remember his first stint with the Mets and how well he did. .308 BA, 3 HR, 6 RBI in just 39 ABs. I remember when we traded Max Scherzer for him and how I was kind of bummed to lose Max Scherzer.

I know some youngsters had to go (Vientos/Baty still included), but I actually didn't think it was going to be Acuna. Maybe Mauricio. He was twice a Top-100 prospect, so this one might sting in the future.

Like ... it's a four-way tie?!

I really liked his energy, seemed like a good kid

[The Hot Corner]

I liked him. He brought defensive versatility and seem provided very good defense wherever that positioned him. He was an offensive weapon as a pinch runner. I liked his energy and versatility. He will likely have more opportunity to get significant playing time with the White Sox. I wish him well in the future.

Luisangel needed one PR appearance in the season’s final two games to own it outright. Mendy apparently had other priorities.
