6-2 Arizona!
Bad managing there as they left in the lefty to face AJ Pollock and he hit a three run homer.

Snitker still has his moments with bullpen management, but he's much improved over the last couple of seasons. Something to remember here is that Anthropolous had Gibbons in Toronto and Gibbons doesn't have the baseball equivalent of a Phi Beta Kappa key hanging around his neck. And Gibbons will be available.

What I’m getting at here is that I think you’re irrationally critical of Snitker. You came to the conclusion a long time ago that he was a bad manager and have been banging that drum with never ending confirmation bias ever since. Case in point: you use his minor league managerial record to point to his quality as a manager like that has any relevance whatsoever.
Is he a good tactician? No. Is he a bad tactician? I’d say yes, much of the time. Is that the least important part of a manager’s job over 162 games? Yes. And I think he’s proven his worth at the more important managerial duties, like leading a clubhouse.

Snitker really is a poor tactician. That can be frustrating because that is something that could easily be fixed with a little education on the matter. But in regards to his ability to manage players and their different personalities, he might be one of the best in the league. I can't recall a team ever having as much chemistry as this current Braves' club. They seem to legitimately love being around each other all the time. That is extremely important.

it isn't surprising people have confirmation bias attacking this adapting manager that has 1-2 skills that may be suboptimal. I expect it given the obvious blunders he has made this season with the bullpen.
Wow this is easy! Can I do this every time in lieu of an actual argument?
Edit: I know you're argument is that he is bad at in game management lol. I'm just trollin'. I do think that you are overestimating the cost of that vs. the benefit of the chemistry he brings and the fact that the players love him.
