    If Atlanta does indeed lose this game, it’s not because the Braves aren’t a good enough team. They’ve had chances.

    You can chew a kid's butt and fine him and get the same effect without dooming your team to play with a second baseman in center for 5 innings, and on a day when you already only had a two-man bench. This is just dumb.

    So let Fried lead off even if that was his last inning?

    This isn't the first time Ronald hasn't hustled out of the box. Snit should have done this long long ago.

    Ron is gonna walk out of the box again at some point. Bench him then.
    Well, if you let it happen just because it’s against the Dodgers, that sends the wrong message.

    No doubt in my mind that sending a strong message to Acuña is exactly what Snitker needs to do.
    This isn't the first time Ron has watched a long single that should've been a double.

    Snit allowed this to go on too long because he is too much of a player's manager. Too afraid to bench Freddie. Too afraid to bench Neck.

    I completely agree. This is no different than what Bobby Cox did when he pulled Andruw Jones in that game years ago when he didn't go hard after that fly ball he should have caught.

    It’s nice to see Snit using his position players correctly.

    Fried showed elevated levels of testosterone today.

    It’s too bad Acuna chose a game against the best team in the NL to let his immaturely surface.

    Think the guys in the clubhouse care more about trying to beat the best team in the league more than they do that message.

    We're also short on good position players right now as well. No Swanson. No Inciarte. No Neck.

    It's just a bad strategic decision. If Ron does the long gaze again next week it'll be a waste.

    Completely agree. Team has showed a lot after that first game. Braves aren’t the Dodgers equal but the gap is narrowing some.

    I don’t think they should’ve pulled him, but I can’t fault Snit too much.

    He then tried to steal but it was a pitchout so he got caught stealing.
