Not sure how you could look at this bullpen and determine that Snitker is the problem.

Firing AA would be stupid, but we saw last year with snit that even with a decent pen he would go with the weakest links to blow games. This year with our injuries and Minter struggling we have more weak links for him to let blow games. That said, leaving Folty in too long set up that 9th.
We’ve had the lead in 11 of our 14 losses
Melancon hasn't pitched over 40 innings since 2016, and is owed a crap ton of money this year and next. Beyond that he's just been solid rather than his previous excellence the past few years when he is pitching. Our bullpen is garbage, but he's exactly the sort of desperation move we should be avoiding.
Watson would be a great pickup, he's been solid the past few seasons and is signed to a cheap contract with a cheap option for next year.
This is not a Snitker problem. This is a bullpen problem and since the pen was not dealt with, this is an AA problem. And if this problem isn’t dealt with, it’s going to be a long Summer watching the pen giving up leads. There is no excuse for having leads blown in 11 games.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Minter tied with Julio for # of losses with 3. BP has lost 5 games, but won 4 so far this season.
At this point, let’s bring back Kerry lightenberg and ray king
I know we’re frustrated, but watch the personal shots guys. No need for that garbage
