    Borderline managerial malpractice.
    exactly, this is not anyone else's fault. it's just bad managing

    Maybe an analytical guy like AA is secretly sabotaging this season, so he can get rid of snit.

    Yes, yes it is.

    The huge hole from the beginning of the season that has not been addressed despite quality relievers going to other teams for peanuts.

    Other Braves fans on Twitter are arguing with me that it's not on Snit and just a bad bullpen. LMAO.

    I've been pro AA and think Snit gets too much blame, but when you have quality RP's going for basically nothing.

    More than Snit deserves blame.

    I'm not excusing Snitker there.

    How is he going to make Sam Freeman look good? By giving him a clean inning against left handers? He can't get left handers out, and Biddle can't either. The guy that can is a leverage guy/backup closer (may pretty much be the closer as who knows with Vizcaino now). There's no left handed situational guy in the pen, and Snitker is managing as if there is, but still, no left handed situational guy is still going to make Alex look terrible.

    And this game is over. Sucks because of the 3 things that happened earlier that msstate highlighted, and because of the 30 minutes of dumb by Snitker, from leaving Folty in to see the top of the order at 100+ pitches to double switching for some reason.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Yep. I gave AA a pass on Herrera, but where were we on familia?

    Twitter and Facebook Braves fans are awful. The Reddit fans are starting to get better when it comes to Snitker.

    No way we complete this. Game over after the stupidity that Snitker showed in the 6th.

    ive heard the bad bullpen argument all season, yet freeman sucks now because snit overused him till he broke. snit has made this bullpen worse by misusing it.

    Snitker is pretty bad but Minter is pretty much the only guy who can get out LHP, and he's the closer now b/c Viz is hurt.

    That's on AA as more RP's go for peanuts.

    Sad considering the ER and ERA aren't entirely accurate since he has let other pitchers' runs score off him. Then again, you could say other relievers have let his runs score off them as well.

    I would have loved to see what we could have done against their bullpen but the gNats are little chicken ****s and will call this game because they need a win in the worst way.

    Forget about Familia and all those rental players why he don’t move a finger trying to get Brad Hand? Anthopoulos had the chance to get a good closer and a excellent set up man.
