Snit watch is on.

Sporting News… just says the Braves have decided not to follow the lead of other teams and fire the manager. Says they will move on from Snit after the season, but not during.

They said they will move on in the offseason? What a bunch of losers... if you've made your mind up for then, do it now. This whole organization needs to go see a doctor tomorrow for a shot of testosterone
 
How can anyone be surprised by this?? The Braves don’t fire people they deem „their own“. It‘s just not the Braves‘ way. They gave an idiot like Fredi every chance to succeed, and then some. How do you think they treat a Braves lifer who won a championship as manager? It sucks, it’s against the team’s best interest, but it’s hardly surprising.
 
I’m usually don’t jump on the fire the coach bandwagon but Snit needs to go. It does suck to fire someone that has been with the organization for so long in the middle of the year, but this is business. His management hasn’t evolved with the talent on the roster. Gone are the days that he could copy and paste the same lineup day after day. He got tired and stagnated a couple of years ago. Now he is an old disengaged shell of a manger living off what he did five years ago. It’s terrible to see a team with as much talent as the Braves have floundering. The team needs new energy and a kick in the ass.

Snit should step down now. If he would bow out gracefully now his legacy will be intact. Yes everyone won’t think much of him today, but in a year from now the almost all fans will have forgotten the end of his career and will cheer him for all the great times during his tenure
 
The Braves Way should have been retired years ago. That buttoned up, play nice shyt is old and played out. Only in Atlanta can your star player be thrown at with random disregard and we sit there like life is good. Only the Braves Way lets you suck and grin like life is grand (it is when you make millions and still fail). Only in Atlanta can you be average af and still have a million excuses of why it's not the fault of the manager, the general manager, the fking ball boy...smdh. I lived through the dog days of failure. This feels eerily familiar.

Yeah, but the expectations should be high. The Atlanta market is no the Pittsburgh market. They have the most bullshyt responses to ineptness I've ever seen. Coppolella at least cheated. LMAO.
 
I've said it several times but Snit isn't gonna be fired. 40+ years they'll just let him retire in the offseason. Our best case scenario is that Snit steps down. I believe this goes over AA to McGuirk and ownership.

Agreed. But that doesn't make the season of suck less crappy. LOL. But I see this exact scenario as real.

Go anywhere during a bad season and you’ll find the same stuff being talked about and happening. This isn’t exclusive to the Braves.
 
McGuirk is the guy that would have to make the call to fire Snit. With how long Snit has been with the organization and how much respect he commands in it, I don't see AA having the power to make a change on his own.

That being said, I don't see McGuirk agreeing to pulling the trigger mid season. The Braves are making money hand over fist at the Battery so there's not much pressure on him to make changes.

I expect Snit to be "promoted" at the end of the season to some kind of executive VP role.
