Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acu a Jr. isn't happy with himself after getting picked off for the third time in two games."There's no excuse for it," Acu a said following Monday's 2-0 win over the Chicago Cubs, according to The Athletic's David O'Brien. "I was maybe trying to be a little too aggressive."The 26-year-old, who has 14 steals after swiping 73 last season, said he was definitely "caught by surprise" when Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga picked him off at first base during the first inning. ronald acu a jr. picked off last 3 times on base my goodness pic.twitter.com/9uc8fR6FD6 Codify (@CodifyBaseball) May 14, 2024 Acu a was also picked off at first base twice during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the New York Mets.It was a rough night on the bases for the Braves against the Cubs.
