Tomas Perez was on fire,
A Home Run Derby denier.
Acuña was flailing
At sliders prevailing–
Said Tomas, “You’re no Mark McGwire!”
Ronald Acuña Jr.’s terrible Home Run Derby pitcher had MLB fans making plenty of jokes
Atlanta’s faithful are true believers
But can Snitker depend just on relievers?
Then again, what the heck
It’s all hands on deck
Or the Braves look like underachievers.
Atlanta’s a squadron in need
Of pitching to keep up to speed
But Morton’s cracked limb
Has made prospects dim
And who knows what’s wrong with Max Fried?
Atlanta’s mound ace Charlie Morton
Was handling Houston, cutting and sorting
He then broke his leg
But pitched one more set!
Yet here I am, barely surviving the morning.
