    He loves playing the scrub vets over promising young players. He's managing like it's the 1930's. Someone needs to take a dump on his front porch and set in on fire.

    Unfortunately, that's not a guarantee.

    I lack the vocabulary to describe how angry I am at the gargantuan stupidity of the Braves' jackass of a manager.

    Hey, I'm late to the game tonight. How'd JJ look, pretty good?

    He should be fired before September 1st, so we can get a good look at the rookies rather than the old guys

    Why are we so concerned with "fixing" JJ anyway? Who cares about him?

    Can we please get a 21st century manager that understands sabermetrics. Is that too much to ask for?

    Snitker was quoted before the game saying he was going to try his hardest to get Minter in tonight's game... Clearly not since he went with Motte 7th, JJ 8th and then Viz in the 9th if the Braves still had the lead.

    Seriously. I hate old school managers, scouts and GM's. Get with the times and stop with this old school horse ****


    Seriously. We don't like schoolyard language here. If you want to stoop to swearing, go to the Scout board.

    Exactly.

    Washington, Perez and Pendleton would be just as poor choices. Unfortunately, even with Snitker gone, I can't trust this FO to make a good hire in terms of advanced statistics.

    How do you even give up 11 hits in two innings? How is that possible?

    Not sure why so many people can't get with the times. What worked in the 80's or 90's doesn't work so well in 2017. They probably still think a pitchers winning percentage is the most important Stat like Joe Simpson does.
