Snit is a clown to not get biddle an inning here

Soak this one in boys. With Thor, DeGrom, and Wheeler coming up I don’t expect much the next three days.
Yeah this should have been Biddle here.
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.
Seems like Snit wants to let Moylan in a low stakes game to see if he can shake some of his early season command issues. Can’t fault him too much for that.
It’s funny how the smartest managers in baseball seem to be the ones with all the good relievers.

I’m not suggesting we can’t find an upgrade for Snit, but he’s doing mostly the right things this year w.r.t. to strategy (and he’s improving!). He knows how to handle a double switch, understands late inning defensive substitutions, etc. I know his bullpen management is suspect, but I can’t think of a more thankless task in life than managing a bullpen filled with mediocre pitchers.
The player’s seem to enjoy playing for Snit and we are starting to see young player’s really develop under his watch. As long as he gets this part right, I am completely comfortable keeping him around until the perfect guy comes around.

The bullpen part is fair given there's alot of bad ones like Luke Jackson, Sims, Moylan, Jose Ramirez, etc. I'd look for AA to beef up the pen with the extra cash the Braves have this winter.
Minter, Viz, Winkler look legit, as well as Carle, but outside of that it needs some work.
