    Only thing that makes sense to me is AA is telling to Snit to find opportunities to showcase Wisler for a trade...

    But I'm afraid putting him this spot could only yield the opposite effect

    Sox attitude is why take BP before the game when you can take it during the game?

    in a one-run game

    the list of better options is long: leave Biddle in, bring in any of Winkler, Carle, Moylan.

    I understand saving Winkler for later innings or games we are tied or ahead. Still leaves 3 superior options vs Betts.

    Other things to consider. Wisler is a fly ball pitcher. This is Fenway. Betts hits home runs. Carle and Moylan are tough on righties. Moylan keeps the ball on the ground. You don't need a super computer to process these things.

    Yea, even if that’s the case, Snitker clearly doesn’t know how to execute such a directive. Deploying him how he did tonight only showcases his weaknesses.

    Only thing that won't bother me about this incoming collapse is that snit and chuckie will be gone with the wind

    I guess the extra run at least means the Braves won’t see Kimbrel, barring a comeback stew brewing?

    Edit: Guess not. Good luck, batters.

    Geez, props Dansby there.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Progress is progress, even if it's not the ideal part of the game.

    Acuna needs a day off. At least move him out of 2 spot.

    Very concerning. Just have to hope he adapts on the fly.

    Jesus. He wasn't even close, and with a lot of batters truly slumping, there's not much you can do with rearranging.

    Neither is going to happen until the Braves leave Boston as the only other guy Snitker can see as a top of the order guy is thoroughly lost against lefties at the moment.

    No one can get an inside fastball by Swanson.

    Honestly... I never wanna hear about people saying young kids are ready at age 20 due to a few hot weeks in minor leagues.

    Wisler's fastball-slider combo should work out of the pen. Problem is he throws way, way too many non-competitive pitches.
