    No. It is much easier to just judge from my ivory tower and make no significant contribution that might get ridiculed.

    I don't disagree with most of that. But the two situations are totally different.

    Nah I've thought this for a minute. The same way we got punished by MLB sanctions but it got rid of Coppy.

    I think this is my least favorite brave team since the one with JUp that would go games without scoring bc they were do depend on the long ball.

    I am concerned about the 2022 season TBH. Who knows if there will be one. The players association and the owners legit could not agree on the color of the sky right now. On top of that, MLB recently started the crack down on pitchers using substances. We all know it is not merely a coincidence it happened just before the CBA is to expire. That is another negotiating point.....

    He's a total BA. We need another bat to take some pressure off he and FF.

    Maybe for next year. It sucks the Braves are tanking. As is it will probably lead to Tatis getting the MVP in the NL

    What kind of BS is this? Ronnie didn’t make the correct call and Snit is rightly frustrated but he’s been the best thing going for this team in 2021. What a dumbass POS.
    Pot, this is kettle, you're black.

    Snit has done many more stupid things that cost this team games than Acuna has.

    You mean sucking. "Tanking" is intentionally playing beneath your abilities. "Sucking" is playing like ass.

    Damn right he has. So tired of the stick up the arse way the Braves do things. Twit is a fine example of that.

    If Snit does get "reassigned" or fired, I hope AA does his due diligence and brings in an analytical staff instead of just assigning the head coaching job to another dinosaur in Ron Washington.

    Braves have a worse team ERA this year than they did during their rebuilding years. And we’re in the post-juiced balls era.
