Washington is insurance.
If Snit doesn't pan out we have him there.

IMO, Brian Snitker will not disappoint. There aren't many baseball managers that can come into a situation like Brian inherited and completely change the culture of the team. The way he handles the players and just let's the play, it is very reminiscent of Bobby Cox. Fredi didn't have that gift. When players are willing to run through a wall for you, there are no limits. I'm a Dolphins fan as well, and back in 2012 when Miami was looking for a coach to replace Tony Sparano, the guy I wanted was Mike Zimmer. Everything I read about that guy suggested that he made the kind of connection with his players that would make them run through a wall for him. Look at his Minnesota team now. They are down their starting QB, All world RB, LT, RT retired in training camp, lost their top receiver before their last game, and they still dominate.
Ventura's Stolen Bases
I'm ok with this.
Gonna be amazing when Snitker leads us to a division crown and a spot in the NLCS.

That awkward moment when Washington slips up and refers to Snitker as "Sniff" instead of "Snit".

You said "I wish Bobby's influence wasn't anywhere near the front office" and that's silly since the front office and indeed the whole organization was built with his influence. Coppy and the 2 Harts have Bobby's baseball DNA in their brains and that's a good thing. It also implies Bobby is an unwanted medler and I judge that he has far too much integrity and character to be that person. You can be sure that he knows his place.
Hiring Snitker over Black was not a Schuerholz/Hart/'good old boy' move.

Garcia better not be hitting 2nd, and I'd love to see Ruiz get a chance to platoon if he's earned it in Spring Training. Having Garcia hit 2nd towards the end of the year and barely playing Ruiz the last three weeks was ridiculous.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Well, why don't we discuss multi-hit games while we are at it.
