He did on his twitter account. That is all.

**Robyn1967** · 05-11-2021, 02:24 PM

Is this a joke?

**Robyn1967** · 05-11-2021, 02:28 PM

Was it a joke when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Long before Snit was manager I heard they were close personal friends.

Still waiting on the Braves to sign that mystery pitcher

Lol. I am not Bill Shanks. Why dont you tell him that on HIS twitter page?

**Coredor** · 05-11-2021, 04:29 PM

I have to admit. I always liked Bill on the Braves Show and was a premium subscriber for years. He really did know a lot about minor league ball but he butted heads with some people.

He banned me. And I wasn't in his top 30 suspects.

I can't remember anything he was ever competent about. He was nothing but a small town bumpkin who was able to talk to some people who actually knew something because they were all in a podunk town together.
