    Snit pinch hitting for him in 9th. I stayed tuned in just to see Mac get one last ovation.

    Feel for him that he couldn't even get the Braves out of the first round in his last season, much less bring them a ring like he said he wanted.

    One of my favorite Bravos. The ending is bitter but I'm sure he will look back fondly on this season.

    Not surprising, but kinda expected. Catcher is a big need this offseason.

    Was hoping he could hang around awhile and pad his resume. Was on a HOF path til he left Atl. Even with the addition of his framing skills, he's a far cry from the HOF. But definitely the best Braves catcher of my liftetime.

    Just watched Mac being interviewed. He has such a great perspective on things.

    "I am your retribution."

    Thanks for the memories, Mac! It's a shame you and Chipper both got screwed out of advancing in the playoffs by the umps!

    Awesome career and an awesome Brave! Catcher just went to the top of the need list.

    It's 3B/cOF, not many great everyday catchers out there. Most teams platoon.

    I hate to see him go, but that's a reasonable response to that game.

    Freddie's not going anywhere. But I do believe if AA wants to replace Snit, the players that lobbied for him (Freddie & Neck) are no longer in a position to keep lobbying for Snit. Neck may not even be back, and Freddie won't have much room to complain after his performance this series.

    Anyhow this thread is about Mac so keep it on topic.
