MLB on phone now... call it
Maybe an analytical guy like AA is secretly sabotaging this season, so he can get rid of snit.

LMAO. And they delay it now. Screw that mess. After the Nats get an insurance run.
I'm not excusing Snitker there.
How is he going to make Sam Freeman look good? By giving him a clean inning against left handers? He can't get left handers out, and Biddle can't either. The guy that can is a leverage guy/backup closer (may pretty much be the closer as who knows with Vizcaino now). There's no left handed situational guy in the pen, and Snitker is managing as if there is, but still, no left handed situational guy is still going to make Alex look terrible.
And this game is over. Sucks because of the 3 things that happened earlier that msstate highlighted, and because of the 30 minutes of dumb by Snitker, from leaving Folty in to see the top of the order at 100+ pitches to double switching for some reason.
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.

No way we complete this. Game over after the stupidity that Snitker showed in the 6th.

I would have loved to see what we could have done against their bullpen but the gNats are little chicken ****s and will call this game because they need a win in the worst way.
Forget about Familia and all those rental players why he don’t move a finger trying to get Brad Hand? Anthopoulos had the chance to get a good closer and a excellent set up man.
