Atlanta Braves broadcaster Jeff Francoeur went on an extended rant on the team's in-house radio network.

Francoeur was responding to a tweet from Braves manager Brian Snitker defending outfielder Jarred Kelenic .

Acuña was benched for not hustling multiple times in the past for similar plays.

The tweet was quickly deleted, but Francoeur responded by saying "If it were me, they would take me out".

He came onto the field, yelling at that guy to back up his player. And man, how do you forget that so quick in six years that your manager is the one out there. None of this is what the Braves needed with the team tied for last place in the NL East . They still have enough talent that the playoffs should be within their grasp, but you usually don't see stuff like this when everything is going well..
