@ChikinChop: “Unless they decide to give Acuña a day off his feet, I don’t know how you take Dom Smith out of the lineup. Consistently has good at bats, and he’s kept this production all year. I don’t really care if it’s a LHP to be honest.”

@PeytonTowry: “Dominic Smith is hitting .330 and has an .871 OPS this season btw”

@HailStateLuke: “Dom Smith would win comeback player of the year and probably the Roberto Clemente award if the season ended today”

@TheManHenry22: “Dominic Smith with a little league home run! His season just keeps getting better lol”
