I do agree. But frustrating to see other divisional opponents handling the easy teams and even tougher ones while Atlanta can barely scrape out wins against those bad teams.

But he must be kept because for sure the other options, who at least probably pay attention to the games, wouldn’t be better. So a move makes no sense.

The fuck is wrong with this team

Just because a replacement may not be better doesn’t mean you keep a guy you know is terrible. Awful logic.

Yeah but that GRIT

This is one of the dumbest arguments I’ve seen here

This is just silly. There’s plenty of talent on the team to make a playoff run.

So who cares? They aren’t “rallying” around Snitker right now. I’d rather someone they may really around than someone they clearly aren’t. I think it’s a lame excuse either way. Snit is hurting the team. Period.

I’d agree, I don’t really care if another dinosaur comes in and does well. Snit isn’t doing a single thing well right now, so why keep him? He’s failing at every aspect of being a manager - a job that typically doesn’t affect wins and losses that much. He’s actively making the team worse. It’s...

That’s inexcusable then. There are zero toddlers involved in this. We are talking about grown adults. If you can’t handle doing what’s best for the team then get out? Like this isn’t complicated.

I totally get those sentiments. But the front office has to be smart enough to know that no matter what, you look for a manager this offseason. That’s a solvable problem. Keeping Snitker isn’t.

He should absolutely not finish the year IMO. He’s a disaster and actively hurting the team’s chances of winning. You don’t punt a year over a goddamn manager

Both Soroka and Canning would have the team ending at the same result: needing a starter at the deadline. Canning isn’t going to last and a competing team that didn’t have much money to spend using $10M on Soroka would have been extremely stupid. I think Canning would’ve been the much better bet...

There is absolutely a point to firing him. Agents do more than just negotiate contracts within the sport. You don’t keep a guy you don’t trust as your agent.

It is the Braves’ fault that freeman took less money to go to the dodgers because his agent was playing games. Makes total sense really

I doubt they have a problem with each other

Meh…if the FO saw 2.2 WAR/162, atrocious k rate, mediocre statcast data, mediocre (poor?) power, unsustainable BABIP and thought yeah let’s spend $30m and jump through several hoops to land this guy, then that’s worse than I thought. Not saying it’s a highly detrimental move but it was a bit...

1.5 WAR (109 games), 32% k rate, .359 BABIP, .333 xwOBA as a bad defensive OF. I hesitate to call that good. The lack of OF options that offseason makes it not as bad. But $25m last year and $6.5 this year isn’t nothing and yeah outside of OF there are ways to actually improve your team with...

Every time a player of theirs gets hurt it’s for like 2-4 weeks tops. JT fucked up his knee last year - as a catcher - and was out like a month. Sanchez feels forearm tightness but is apparently totally fine.

If fletcher is currently being paid $6.5m, how is that no effect? Kelenic is also taking up a roster spot as he did last year. $25m is a lot for a guy who never showed a thing at the major league level. There weren’t a ton of options they missed out on because of it (outside Joc I can’t really...
