You mean Bartolo who just threw a complete game?

He's pitched to a 5.34 xFIP with the Twins, about the same as he did with the Braves. He's been the same pitcher, but sometimes things that are mostly random (BABIP, strand rate, HR per fly ball) will skew the outcomes one direction or the other. Especially over small samples.

It was lucky for the Braves he was unlucky while pitching for them. Otherwise he'd still be in the rotation and Newcomb and/or Sims would not be receiving auditions.

You wish we still had him?

I couldn't care less. He's just another pathetic signing from the front office that blew up in their face.

Wow he threw one complete game and has pitched like garbage every other start. How are you ever serious? Let's prop up Bartolo and call Josh Donaldson trash lmao

No

Bringing Snitker back is like being the San Diego/LA Chargers of the NFL. He will get you several .500 (8-8) years and mediocre draft picks (between 13-18 -- not getting any elite players), but he is not the answer to get over the hump.

He's not a playoff type manager in my eyes. I know Freeman and others have went and sung his praises to the front office but liking somebody only gets you so far.

[bravesfanMatt]

Yeah. But if he does get us to game 7. Then we are good.

[bravesnumberone]

I think Snitker better serves the organization in the minors. It's time to bring a fresh perspective in. No matter how many Bobby disciples we use, the 90s aren't going to happen again unless three of these young pitchers are hall of gamers and Acuna, Swanson and Albies reach their heights.

Let's see, Freddie Freeman says yes. Internet dude says no.

What to do, what to do?

Well, Freddie Freeman also thought that it was worth moving to 3B to accommodate Matt Adams.

What to do indeed.

Freddie's a helluva player but he should leave the GM stuff to the experts on this board.
