Hart out

[MadduxFanII]

Braves announced on Twitter that Hart is leaving. On my phone, so no link.

More firings right befor announcement- keep leseening tbose penalties.

Glad Hart got to pick the GM instead of JS before he left

[Chico]

There was a blurb on one of the AA articles that said something along the lines that MLB looked favorably on the fact that he would not be involved in decisions.....This could have been part of the negotation of our penalty.

Look, we got rid of the GM, the International scouting director, and the President. Take it easy on us

[bravesfanMatt]

Who didn't see that coming.

This seems like offering Hart a more gracious exit than getting fired along with Coppy. Hart has a lot of friends in high places around baseball (including with the Braves). I can see him getting some cover from that. The Braves were not going to let him stay on after what happened but let him keep his dignity in his departure.

jump before push

[UNCBlue012]

Love it. We can start completely fresh. So needed.

[Skeeter31]

Not if we still have JS involved in any way.

Does AA hire his own manager or let Snitker play out next year?

[The Chosen One]

Don't think he plans on us seriously competing this year, so probably let Snitker go out with some dignity unless we truly suck and then Snitker gets canned early like Fredi did.

[Super]

Yeah I doubt AA keeps Snitker beyond this year.

[Hawk]

To ‘pursue other opportunities’?

I thought Hart came out of retirement for this gig.

[Hudson2]

I️ hope this lessens the blow of the penalty. Or it could be that Hart knows it’s really bad and got out before he was lynched.

[Enscheff]

Good to see Liberty finally step up and clean house.

[clvclv]

The talk on XM today has been that the rumor is the penalties, etc. are going to be announced Monday to get it out of the way before Thanksgiving.

Napping on a sailboat is an opportunity.

The fact you get the bulk of your baseball insights listening to XM talk shows while driving between trailer park open houses explains everything.

Lol just ruthless

[Jaw]

Less than 2 hours ago there was a headline on AJC that said something like "Hart happy in new role"
I suppose they replaced that one with this one.

I would gladly accept that opportunity.

Maybe they meant crappy..or nappy...

[50PoundHead]

I had to laugh. The message cuts off with Hart commending McGuirk for his "passion." Passion for what? The bottom line is the only thing I can think McGuirk has any passion for.

[Carp]

CONSPIRACY!!!!!

SCAPEGOAT!!!!

[Garmel]

You keep bringing up trailer parks but you're the only person here that acts like trailer trash.

[nsacpi]

Hart was quoted earlier this week as saying he was still in baseball operations, contradicting what McGuirk had said at the press conference announcing the hiring of Anthopoulos. I guess there is no longer any confusion.

[Enscheff]

There he is! Crawled out from his hidey hole in the weeds just to comment about me haha.

[DirkPiggler]

2018 Braves: Hartless bastards.

[Oklahomabrave]

2018 Braves: Hartless bastards.

Seconded

[50PoundHead]

Whenever I think of John Hart, my mind wanders to former San Francisco Giant 3B the late Jim Ray Hart. Jim Ray was born in Hookerton, North Carolina, which has to be the coolest name for a town I have ever heard.

[CyYoung31]

Lol, “Hooker Town”.

[NinersSBChamps]

lol just a straight clown show. Stand up if you knew Hart was going to be a disaster. Few people are standing...

Remain standing if you also said Coppy was also going to be a disaster.

:Only one left standing:

Seriously middle of nowhere. 409 residents - not too awfully far from where the Mudcats play.

Sold quite a few double wides out there I bet.

They let the guy who was not directly implicated run the show until they found his replacement. He was just as out as Coppy from the beginning.

They gave him a face saving way out for sure though.

Is there a particular reason why you interact with others the way you do?

I don't think Coppy was a disaster, but what I really thought was the whole process of replacing Wren was stupid. All he wanted to do was fire Fredi, which wound up happening anyway. All the bluster in the post Wren firing days was about how he chased all these great minds away and hyping the system and the best we have to show for the system were guys signed under Wren's tenure. And the Braves didn't violate any major international rules to sign Acuna or Albies.

Autism most likely.

Autism most likely.

You guys have now graduated from homophobic remarks to remarks disparaging the mentally handicapped.

Well done southerners, well done. You guys are proving just how ****ty you all are.

To be fair, zeets is from New Jersey, which I understand is considerably trashier than the South.

I've never lived in the south. Just pointing out a strong likelihood with the seeming lack of empathy/social awareness and the links to autism. I mean you could just be a sociopath.

Possibly the worst state in the union.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Good Heavens, what are you guys doing?????? This nonsense has to stop or I’m going to suggest to site administrators to give at least a couple posters some time off.

As it is, this thread has gone completely off topic and can’t be salvaged. Locking it up.
