GDT 4/19 vs mets game 1

[Garmel]

I just don't understand Snitker.

[msstate7]

Snit is a clown to not get biddle an inning here

[chop2chip]

Soak this one in boys. With Thor, DeGrom, and Wheeler coming up I don’t expect much the next three days.

[Braves1976]

If Biddle can’t get into the game here, why is he even up? Let him keep getting innings at Gwinnett.

Snit does that, he sits them too long and then brings them in rusty. I don't like that about him, I'd got Biddle in by tonight at the latest.

[GeorgiaGirl]

Yeah this should have been Biddle here.

[chop2chip]

Seems like Snit wants to let Moylan in a low stakes game to see if he can shake some of his early season command issues. Can’t fault him too much for that.

It’s funny how the smartest managers in baseball seem to be the ones with all the good relievers.

[Braves1976]

I just don't understand Snitker.

He had a losing record in the minors and while wins and losses are not as important there, usually losing managers don't get jobs managing in MLB. He is bad at bullpen management IMO. I still wish we'd hired the Rockies current manager.

Wheeler's hittable, Thor and DeGrom is gonna be difficult though.

So....92 win season?

[buck75]

Good win!

Will be interesting who AA hires as manager to replace Snit.

I thought you were an optimist? 100 wins here we come!

[Braves1976]

Yes, probably won't happen till after this season if we play at least .500 ball.

Yes, Bud Black would have been a Great improvement. He wouldn't put up with Hernandez for more than a week of ST.

But, I would start by firing Hernandez. He's easier to replace than Snitckers right now. We should have signed Mike Maddux early this season.

I’m not suggesting we can’t find an upgrade for Snit, but he’s doing mostly the right things this year w.r.t. to strategy (and he’s improving!). He knows how to handle a double switch, understands late inning defensive substitutions, etc. I know his bullpen management is suspect, but I can’t think of a more thankless task in life than managing a bullpen filled with mediocre pitchers.

The player’s seem to enjoy playing for Snit and we are starting to see young player’s really develop under his watch. As long as he gets this part right, I am completely comfortable keeping him around until the perfect guy comes around.

Mike? Greg is the Maddux I always wanted as pitching coach.

The bullpen part is fair given there's alot of bad ones like Luke Jackson, Sims, Moylan, Jose Ramirez, etc. I'd look for AA to beef up the pen with the extra cash the Braves have this winter.

Minter, Viz, Winkler look legit, as well as Carle, but outside of that it needs some work.
