I get the mispronunciation of Acuna since people often leave off the dingy-bop over the N (like I just did because I can't figure out how to make it in this chat program).  As for Aguilar, that seems the more egregious error, and hence it got more attention.

It's called a tilde, first.
3:09
And while folks might forget that, the media guide doesn't.
3:10
It also spells it out phonetically.
People make mistakes but it is a persistent problem across broadcasts, and it is a good thing to point out and then do better.

Which mariners minor leaguer are you most excited to follow next year?
Meg Rowley
3:11
Evan White, because he has a weird profile and got better and those things both appeal to me.
3:12
He's a backwards guy- not like, in his opinions, he bats right and throws left.
And is a first baseman who could legit play the outfield
Julio Rodriguez is also intriguing.

Alt-164 does the trick. ñ

hold alt while typing 164 to get the ñ in Acuña.

Good helpers, both.

i've never seen one of these mythical "media guides

The beats generally tweet them out or the team PR folks do, and the broadcasters are given them.

I'm sad to read that you don't have faith in people to change, and change quickly. It happens all the time. Just remember, Wander Javier's will is stronger than your grim outlook on humankind.
Meg Rowley

Dusty, you ask this question of every prospect writer (and me, apparently) almost daily. You did so when Wander was hurt and out for the year. Things just don't change that much that fast is all.

Is it possible that Aaron Boone and the Yankees were confused about what time the game started last night?
Meg Rowley
3:15
I know this was reported or speculated about and it... it just can't be real. It... it can't be real.

Didn't the Padres and Brewers turn the lights off for Trevor Hoffman/Hells Bells?
Meg Rowley
3:16
Maybe? I've never seen it done mid conference like that.

is 16 runs good? i feel like it's good.
Meg Rowley
3:17
Not if your opponent scores 17... but absent that.
I suppose then it would still be good, just not good enough.
Alright all, I have to get going.
Apologies for what I didn't get ot.
Or to, rather.
3:18
As you consider your rooting interests for tonight, just remember that if Boston wins tonight, we get no baseball until Friday.
Makes you think.
Have a great day/week.
Bye!
