    What a bunch of BS to bring Snit back. Here's to another 70 win season next year. $@#%*&!

    I wonder if I will still be walking this earth when the braves realize the 90's have ended like 5 years ago.

    Snitker is not why we had another 90 loss season. We had a 90 loss season because our roster wasn't very good. Snitker might not be a world beating manager but he's not the reason we're losing.

    The organization needs major turnover, from the top down. That includes the dugout. Snitker and all of his coaches need to go.

    Can't believe they won't let the sparkling new GM hand-pick his own staff. What a joke.

    This is going to be a long offseason.

    Pretty sure you are going to see a pretty big turnover over the next year.

    I would be surprised if JS, JH or Snitker were still in their current roles in 2019. Not sure timetable of spring training complex completion, but my guess is that will be JS's farewell.

    Assuming they don't all get fired for the tampering.

    It's an issue now because they wanted to rid themselves of Coppy.

    Very simple.

    The key to getting back to the good ol’ days is acquiring as many good ol’ boys as possible. We’re getting this thing turned around slowly, but surely
    Swanson sucks

    Don't forget to add good ol' boy Snitker as manager.

    I can't wait to see us stress batting average, home runs, and RBIs and a hobbled Matt Kemp in the 4 spot when he should be on the bench or at the very least in the 7 spot in the lineup at this point in his career.

    1.) Bring back DMGM.

    2.) He brings Yost who makes Sveum his Bench Coach and hires Warthen as Pitching Coach, then retains Seitzer as Hitting Coach, Wash as 3B and Infield Coach, and Perez as 1B Coach.

    3.) They pitch Moose about joining them.

    4.) They pitch Holland about joining them.

    5.) Start selling 2018 tickets.
    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?

    6.) Maddux -- as #2 Starter
    7.) TP -- at 3B
    8.) Bobby Cox -- as special adviser to manager
    9.) Andruw and Chipper -- co-assistant to party operations
    10.) Smoltz -- Director of Baseball ops for how to use the Bull pen

    I am sure we can get the whole 90's crew together to find roles. I think we still need a Director of Braves chop operations.

    The more and more I read about Dan Jennings, I think I might prefer a "Dayton Moore + Unknown Young GM" front office to a "John Hart + Dan Jennings" front office. I'd prefer to see what's behind door 3, but I'm not optimistic that door will be opened.

    Coppy was ousted specifically so that door to the 21st century could remain locked.

    " re-assign manager Brian Snitker " From Bob Nightengale

    Where were they going to re-assign Snitckers???

    Back to Gwinnett or a roving manager's mentor??? Hopefully it would be to his wife and home!!! He can/should take Hernandez with him.

    Which just goes to show who is really calling the shots here, and that the new GM will definitely one of the good old boys and will fall in line with this group think. Shouldn't a new GM get their choice of the new manager also?

    Finally correcting the oversight of not having the Gold Club in the Battery from day one. Goodbye revenue worries.

    You're assuming the "new" GM hasn't already been chosen?
