gdt 10.9.19: today the house of cards comes tumbling down

[Carp]

A Markakis/Duvall platoon is quite likely.

Everyone hide the puppies!!

Lol at you thinking the Braves will ever platoon Neck. What about the last 5 years with Neck suggests Snit will ever platoon him?

The idea being no snit.

[sturg33]

I think firing Snit is unlikely, but a loss like this may give AA enough cover to do it

[Super]

no players run thru the walls for Snit. players like Freeman really respect him and show up every night because of Snit. he’s the reason they’re in the playoffs.

I think so too.

McGuirk should actually give him the mandate easily now, regardless of the 2 Division titles.

This loss has nothing to do with Snit, but the folks stupid enough to still be supporting Snit will be swayed by the “he didn’t have his team ready to play the biggest game of the year” narrative.

Just move on to a modern manager so the Braves can improve.

Lol...we just now get to the pitcher‘s spot for the first time.

I have no doubt an analytivs manager would platoon properly. We don't have that. Weiss we know is super anti-analytics and that's why Colorado fired him because he tried to make a mockery out of it. Wash is def not that analytics inclined even though he comes from TEX. EY was not an analytics guy based on his previous job as baseball tonight analyst (where he spoke out against it a few times).

Kranitz is the only guy on the staff that I think is on that train.
