Snit is not a good tactician, but he is a good manager of athletes. It's very hard to quantify the soft skills of being a MLB manager, but they are likely more important than not bringing in the right BP arm at exactly the right time. We saw first hand in the 2020 postseason how the wrong moves can work out with a talented roster and a little bit of luck.
So at the end of the day, we just have to bang our heads against the wall watching the sub-optimal moves while enjoying the overall success of the team. How much of that is due to Snit? No idea, but he's proven beyond all doubt that the Braves can win with him in charge.

I still can't get over how he brought in Minter in game 7 after he had gone 3 innings in game 5.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Anybody know if our game is on tv tomorrow?

If we can sign Freeman, having a top 4 of Acuna, Albies, Freeman, Ozuna for the forseeable future is quite good. And as someone else said, Acuna was on the low list of reasons Atlanta lost to St Louis in 2019. Hardly anyone except Albies, Swanson, and Acuna could hit for squat that series.
