You were a late bandwagoner, after we already overtook 1st place.


The original 4 voters when this thread was made: Me, clvclv, GermanBrave, and Niners.

I believe you, Dalyn, and robyn came in later.

Goldfly just voted no today, but PawPaw was the only one who voted No a few months ago.

Its impossible for me to be a 'late' bandwagoner.

I'm easily the most extreme biased fan.
 
I don't remember voting on this poll but I will never doubt Brian Snitker and his team managing skills again
 
Talent overcame boneheaded Snit and Talent overcame your boneheaded forum name. You killed Acuna and Soroka.

We will not take this ban lightly. There are dozens of us
 
A good manager provides the atmosphere for "talent" to perform. The Braves have arguably the best coaching staff in the majors and that is 100% the result of Brian Snitker. You guys have been bamboozled into thinking he makes bad decisions when every manager in the league makes decisions fans don't understand. All fans bitch about their manager.

All bullpen decisions are made with Rick Kranitz and probably more reflect Kranitz than Snit.

Whoever is in charge of the bullpen, I hope they keep it up.

Snit moved Soler to leadoff.

Snit stayed with Will Smith.

Snit did not panic and steered the team to a fourth pennant in a row. What else matters?

Snitker’s decision making has greater implications in the postseason.

Sure. To me, there's only one big problem - the "2x thru" rule. If he were more aggressive about adhering to the "2x thru the order" rule, how bad would he be, tactically?

There aren't that many other buttons to push. We're not built to platoon much. Bench has been good but they're of minimal utility because most of the team plays 155 games.

Your bullpen either gets outs or it doesn't. Last year they got lots of outs, this year they didn't. Will Smith is maybe the sixth best reliever this year (and last, for that matter), but Snit's boss paid him $39M to close. So he rides him until the bitter end.

We have a harmonious clubhouse. Players love him.

He at least professes to try to use new metrics. If I have concerns about lineup construction, they're reduced by the limited importance of lineup construction and the fact that we have a lineup full of guys with no clear OBP option.

So what's to hate? Every fanbase thinks their guy is a moron. Snit's not a rocket scientist, but I'd rather have those guys building rockets and Snit building the clubhouse and lineup card.

Other thing is, even if you want him gone, he's not going anywhere. He's won four straight divisions and the team is showing progress in the playoffs. He might get another extension after this one.
 
Where the hell is clvclv??? End of regular season, timid beginning to off season and no 10 page missives on what AA is gonna do.
 
I laughed pretty hard when I tried to log in the other day and was suspended. Well done.

Definitely guilty of believing that the Acuna injury would be too much to overcome. Wanted to trade Charlie and other expiring contracts. In my defense, didn't think it would be possible to trade a bunch of spare baseballs for Soler/Pederson/Rosario/Duvall/Rodriguez, otherwise I might have felt differently. Kudos to AA for getting that done, and as much as I hate Snit and want him gone, kudos to him for holding the room together as he always does.
 
Wanna do another poll on the NLCS?????
Won the division, no early exit, Freddie gets another cuddo. Oh lets not forget Riley,s contributions.
If SF wins the other spot I predict Atlanta in 6. LA at the moment Ill go Braves in 7.
