Ronald Acuña Jr. is at least a couple weeks away from returning from left knee surgery. But the 2023 National League MVP still created headlines on Sunday with a since-deleted social media post that was critical of Braves manager Brian Snitker.

For all of Acuña's elite talent and obvious love for the game, there have been times when his showmanship hurt the Braves. In 2019, for example, Brian Snitker benched Acuña for admiring a fly ball against the Dodgers. He had to settle for a single off the wall and was thrown out trying to steal second.

Snitker benched Acuña in 2019 when he watched what he thought was a home run ball, but had to settle for a single.
