Speaking of Acuna, I'm hearing a lot of complaints about him stopping the game to celebrate himself in the 10th inning of a tie game against a team

fighting for a playoff spot.
I am NOT one of those.
It was a historic moment and people are looking for more joy and celebration in the game. That's a good example.
I'll even give Acuna credit for purposly taking the Cub pitcher out of his rhythm with the delay. (Game winning single immediately followed)

- The argument is it was a key moment in the game. Different than if it was the 3rd inning. Like I said - zunk takes things literally Sep 28, 13:42 1
  - No worries. You don’t want him stealing, throw him out. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 13:46
Those people hate fun/special moments or they're Cubs fans. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 13:19 5
- The latter... I saw one of the broadcasters said "Why does he need the base now? It'll still be there after the game." Now, it wouldn't upset me if - zunk takes things literally Sep 28, 13:31 2
  - If it was their guy hitting that mark they'd be cheering him on no matter what point in the game. They're just being sad fans. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 13:48 1
    - If the roles were reversed as you allude to above, the Cubs would indeed be celebrating. And the Braves would indeed be pissed and whining. -- nm - rollo Sep 28, 14:16
- But you repeat yourself -- nm - TWuG Sep 28, 13:26 1
  - Oof. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 13:30
