expecting a yuge game from Albies
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Julio needs a good start, and I think he gets it
Sitting Dansby after the best game of his career and playing Camargo vs a RHP?
Genius.

I just don’t get the Snit hate. At all.
He’s been a perfectly willing soldier for our analytics department. The players LOVE him and he’s perfectly serviceable as a tactical manager.

I think the criticism was more directed at the fact that he was refusing to rest our older veteran players in spots where it was obvious to do so. We have a couple guys on the bench who mash lefties and he was refusing to sit Markakis against LHPs, even just occasionally. He caved once earlier this week I think, but that quote from him about resting those guys was ridiculous.
I love Snit. I think a manager's most important role is managing the clubhouse and fostering an atmosphere where his players can succeed. In that regard, he might be the best manager in baseball. But his lineup construction and his approach to platoons/player rest leaves a lot to be desired. Ultimately its not that big of a deal, but I do think it costs us unnecessarily sometimes.
If he rested his regulars more maybe they wouldn’t develop sore quads?
This roster was set up with depth specifically to rest regulars regularly. It’s not really complicated at all...
There’s a reason guys started getting benched the day after Snit made those stupid comments. That reason is that he was making stupid decisions and the FO corrected him.

The problem with resting Markakis right now is that we have two guys who play OF that should never play right field. That leaves you with either Joyce who is also lefty, or Culberson, who probably shouldn't play RF either. I do agree he should be moved out of the 5th spot against lefties tho.
