Goal is to miss the bag.It's probably just a combo of having poor defenders and poor coaching but man it seems our guys are never really in a good tagging position.

7 hours ago7 hr 15 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:His arm is tough so far - still throwing like he's on the infield - but I think he'll be fine defensively. He's got good instincts and speed. He's taken a couple rounded routes this year, but that'll come with reps. His angles haven't been great.His problem is he can't and never could hit.Yeah, I’m much more concerned about the bat than him not looking great in CF defensively four games into his career there.
7 hours ago7 hr Venable out-managed, over and again. LH reliever struck out two lefties, then Venable allows Benny to bat and whiff on the same sweeper trash. Not a good in-game Manager. Acuna is a butcher in CF. Two errors and interfered with the RFer making him miss...all in the same critical and possibly decisive inning. Maybe try Tristan Peters out there.

You have to back off as a corner guy if he misses it he misses it, it's the CF ball tho.

How many bad plays do we need to figure that out? 3 in one inning allowing the Marlins to turn the game around?

Look, he isn't an outfielder, never was and never will be.I’m not saying he is an outfielder. I’m saying you are incorrect to say he was nowhere near the ball. The ball crosses between the two of them as they pass each other, they both saw each other and neither went fully for the ball. If Peter’s didn’t cross his path, Acuna could have made that catch
