    It should go to Snit, Braves werent expected to be that great this year. Brewers added Cain and Yelich, and the Rockies made the playoffs the year before. But we'll see.

    It likely should go to Snit, but the other candidates aren't bad choices either.

    My guess is it goes to the Keebler Elf. If Snit gets it, I imagine some folks' heads will explode.

    Manager of the Year is typically given to "manager of the team who won the most games over their expectations".

    That pretty much has to be Snit this year. The Braves winning 90 games was truly remarkable, and nobody anywhere thought it was possible at the beginning of the season. It doesn't really matter if the manager actually had anything to do with it or not.

    Are we tired of winning yet? NL East, NL ROY, NL MOY, 3 Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger.

    I'm afraid that winning this year is over. Maybe 2019 will provide a deeper run in PS which would exceed all of this year's winning.

    Next year braves go to the NLCS, Folty is 2nd in CY Young award, and Acuña gets serious MVP consideration....could happen

    Really, they should name the NL award after him. Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Fredi Gonzalez.

    Just so.

    The players absolutely love playing for him, so we're stuck with him for better or worse.

    I'm not a huge Snit fan, but with how much the players fight for him, no way in hell I get rid of him.

    It's hard for fans to judge a manager because so much of the job can't be seen. A manager might look like an idiot for not putting a certain reliever in but if the reliever is dealing with a sore back and needs a night off, it's often not something we hear about.

    Other times we might be frustrated with a bench player getting a start but keeping regulars rested for the stretch run and giving bench players sufficient opportunity to stay sharp are very important.

    And the more important part of a manager's job actually is his off the field work. A manager is, first and foremost, a manager. Just like in any business, when your job is managing people, your chief responsibility is to keep them productive and keep things running smoothly. It appears Snit is a fantastic manager of people.

    I'll admit Snit probably isn't the greatest bench strategist in all of baseball. But he keeps the team running and the players focused and sharp extremely well. Don't take that for granted.

    I'm hoping with time Snitker will more and more accept advanced stats and become a better strategist.

    i think he is/was pretty open to the whole thing, basically going along with whatever the FO felt was right. there are always going to be questionable moves a manager makes, IMO. the players love him and he doesn't seem insistent on doing things "by the book" or the back-in-my-day way, so that's pretty good to me.
