gdt 10.3.19: time to defrock these molestering cardinals and their enabler holbrook

[weso1]

I don't think Snitker did that bad. The Martin thing really screwed things up and then his closer goes out and sucks it up.

 

[Heyward]

especially when the 5 hitter can’t play a lick of defense either

Yeah, need to move on from Neck. Last 2 years were a good run, but he's a big liability.

 

[Snowman]

Yeah, I'm trying to think, is there a worse overall corner outfielder in baseball? Markakis has to be both bottom three offensively and bottom five defensively, right? Does anyone else approach his level of incompetence among starters?

 

[chop2chip]

Wong’s “double” was at least 6 inches outside of the 1B bag! I have taken several looks at it and paused it, etc.

It definitely went over the bag fair. It landed only a couple inches foul.

 

[Super]

I really like Snit, but he was a disaster. Inexcusable that Melancon was left in to face Wong.

Consistently made the wrong move throughout the game (bunt with DK), not double switching when he brought in Melancon in the 8th (Cards could have burned Melancon if they IBB Swanson).

Somehow the Braves media will make this about Acuna admiring a single...

soo what is there to like? he’s a nitwit who can’t think on his feet. seems like a good guy. can’t win close matchups as a manager. he’s gotta go n

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

There is a better chance of me marrying one of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders than Markakis being back next year

 

[Heyward]

Martin going down totally screwed things up, then Melancon turned into a pumpkin in the 9th.

 

[USMA76]

I hear Joe Maddon and Mickey Callaway may be available.

for a contending team? probably not. he’s atrocious.

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

As soon they go up 5-3 Snitker had to take out Melancon. This are the playoffs not the regular season.

We all know he has the job for at least four full seasons, though. So maybe after 2021.

 

[cjnoles9399]

Never post here but why was Dallas pulled so early? It’s not a pen game like this if the ace you acquired is allowed to cut it loose and go. That’s not a move I see a 40 year vet in the org making. This thing stunk to high heaven from the 5th on.

 

[Super]

then why he is batting 5th and put in RF late in a playoff game?
Joyce would be a better guy for a fraction of the cost.

 

[Snowman]

I meant for any team. Did even the Orioles, Tigers, or Marlins manage to field a worse overall corner guy?

 

[chop2chip]

I don't think Snitker did that bad. The Martin thing really screwed things up and then his closer goes out and sucks it up.

The Martin thing lost the game because Snit was unprepared to manage the bullpen without him.

Think about this... say the Braves have a miracle comeback in the 9th and tie the game and we are still out our best LHP who could throw multiple innings because Snit burned him on a relief pitcher.

I’ll bet my house the Braves pick up that option.

What's that got to do with my statement?

Markakis wasn't that great, but the bigger problems were Martin's injury, Melancon's struggles, and Acuna again not running out of the box

 

[Snowman]

I’ll bet my house the Braves pick up that option.

Sadly, so would I.

 

[tululush]

I don't think Snitker did that bad. The Martin thing really screwed things up and then his closer goes out and sucks it up.

Regardless of injuries and sucksge of your closer, his brain should still work when faced with simple decisions such as bringing in a lefty to pitch to a lefty batter. And it happened twice. And he failed twice. Injuries and poor play be damned, you’re still faced with routine decisions that should be correctly made. And he didn’t. Twice.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I’ll bet my house the Braves pick up that option.

If Pache and Waters weren't as close as they are, I'd agree
