No 40/40, bummer, but he'll get some rest before the NLDS now. Wish they'd shutdown Freeman until then too.
Snit has to start resting these guys. I’m really surprised JD made it all season. AA is gonna have to have a talk this offseason.
If we’re out in the NLDS again, AA will have that talk. Otherwise, he’s going to keep letting Snitker be “a player’s manager,” just like he has until this point.
If we don’t make it out of the NLDS I’d have to imagine the FO would have to consider letting Snit go.

Jesus folks. Its baseball, not a cage match for 162. Relax.
The Braves are at the point where they are legit contenders for championships.
Failing to have players ready for the postseason, and getting outmaneuvered in playoff games is precisely why a manager for a contending team should be removed.
Bobby may have had brain farts in the postseason, but at least he understood how to regularly rest regulars...even if the Sunday lineups were infuriating.
I’m just telling you, based off AA’s words and modus operandi up until this point, he’s going to be hands off with Snitker until the errors he’s making start costing the Braves games. And I respect that he wants to let the manager do his job, but not preemptively addressing the issues before they blow up probably isn’t the best way to do things.
I think Snit will learn from this. My guess he will also be given some firmer guidance next season.
We heard that same BS after last year.
We have our best chance to win a World Series than we’ve had in a LONG time. We haven’t won a playoff series in nearly two decades. If Snit’s lack of resting players ends up costing us the chance to finally win a playoff series, it will be a massive failure from everyone.
What if he over rests them down the stretch ? What then?
what is "over rest"
