That's awesome!
Get off my lawn!
I really thought this would happen after the current playoff rounds, but wow. I am delighted.
I love the Washington hire for 3b Coach
Get off my lawn!

I am a little surprised by Chuck Hernandez. I kinda like it. Anyone who knows more about what he did in the minors have thoughts? And didn't someone speculate about this when he was hired?
One year contract with option for 2018. Given that those are the terms, I'm good with the hire. I had a slight preference for the Bud Black approach, all things being equal. But I'll take a short-term contract with Snit / internal coaches over a long-term contract with Black / external coaches. Gives the FO a mulligan if needed.
Congrats to Snit. I think he earned it.

i love bobby but wish his influence wasn't anywhere near the front office

I wonder if they thought about trying to hire all 3. Bud Black-Manager Snitker-Bench Washington-3B would be awesome
1-year deal, huh? Interesting. You'd think it'd be at least two so Snit doesn't feel like a lame-duck all year.
Agreed. Snitker did absolutely everything anyone could have done to earn a shot. That said, the one year with an option deal is really confusing IMO. If you're going to give him the job, then give him the job. This feels more like a second year as an interim guy to me - especially when you bring Washington in to look over his shoulder.
Just seems to be more of a - "we have no choice other than to give you a longer look since we're afraid the players and some of the fans might revolt, and we don't want to rock the boat going into the new park. Come 2018 though, Washington's our guy".
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?

I wonder if they offered him the first line and he felt insulted and walked out.
Dude. I love this!! Great move.
