From Philly homer John Kincade...lol...
If I need to win one game, I want Kapler managing. If I need to win a title over 162 games, I want Snitker.
Didn’t Kapler alienate some of his young players like Herrera, Crawford, and Nick Williams with how he chose to play them? I also think on how Hoskins was forced to play out of position all year (he’s regressed quite a bit, but this is more of the stupid Santana signing). I also don’t understand the plan with Kingerey.
Not all of that falls on Kapler, but some of it does.
If Snitker deserves any credit it’s giving Inciarte and Swanson a long leash so they could figure things out this year.
What a great game last night. The Camargo hit felt like Francisco Cabrera in 1992. And Duda's been the pickup that Duvall should've been from the other side. Just his two hits in these last two games was worth whatever we traded to get him. I love this team so much!
I kinda hope we clinch on Sunday, mostly because the game today is nowhere on TV here, cuz Fox regional coverage (They should show the 'other' game on FS2 or somewhere else). So there isn't even a post game show on Fox sports or even MLB when the game is over.

Kapler seems to have so fully bought into analytics that he follows the book precisely. The main issue is the analytics he is following appear to be a little suspect.
It’s like the Phillies revamped their analytics department so quickly they didn’t do a good job of it, and are relying on the work of folks who aren’t very talented.
I think their GM needs to revamp their roster and prioritize defense like AA did when he came here.
A lot of things have happened for the Braves to have the season they are having. One of the biggest contributors is going from -23 DRS last year as a team to +57 so far in 2018.
