I think context matters. Multiple reports say the players were largely against it earlier in the year. It seems they softened their stance as the season went on, for whatever reason.

Entirely different front office between now and then. Also, Fredi was essentially hand picked by Bobby Cox. And Snit was a Braves lifer that had the interim tag before being made the permanent manager.

Nick Kurtz is GOATed for baseball names.

I'm sure it would be easier. I just don't get the allure of hiring a college coach to manage an MLB manager.

This is basically my take. I don't think AA did anything nefarious or underhanded. But I do think AA wanted Snit to make this decision for AA so he could avoid the blowback of moving on from a manager that has been with the org for 49 years and was someone the players genuinely liked (except...

It's the Reds though.

OK, if I am on the same side as Shanks in this argument, I think I may have to go back and delete some of my posts in this thread.

I can see Cora's logic, who was facing a strong Yankees lineup in a really close game. It's only a 3 game series so I don't think you can worry too much about pitch counts at this point in a close game. But yeah, that was pretty dumb of Roberts. Especially since Snell just went 7 innings on...

I'm rooting for Meteor.

That just seems weird that MLB teams would be highly interested in hiring a college coach. How often does that happen? This isn't the NFL where scheme can matter a ton to a teams success. It's basically just filling out the lineup card, managing the SP and BP usage, making late game...

From Snit's own words they never approached him. He also has repeatedly said he wasn't sure if he would manage pay l past this season, but he felt like he still could. I'm saying that AA likely didn't give Snit much of an option. They didn't approach him with an extension. It was the final year...

A Again, I don't think Snit necessarily had to lie for what I said to be true. It doesn't have to be black and white. What we know is that Snit has been non-committal on the subject, but often talked about returning for next year. And we also know that AA has largely avoided the discussion but...

I just don't think it's as black and white that he is either lying or is being completely truthful.

That doesn't really make it any better. And from a PR standpoint, they got drug through the ringer online.

I didn't say they were. I don't believe there is necessarily any "bad blood" between them. That doesn't mean this was a decision Snit just made over the weekend.

It's a joke dude. Relax.

I don't know what this means. And I would not expect Snit or AA to say anything different than what they said.

I don't recall it that way at all. His dad was set to throw him the first pitch on father's day. It had already been announced.

Because it's awfully convenient that Snit just randomly made this decision after being non-committal on retiring for months now, despite multiple articles from MLB insiders who reported the Braves would likely be looking for a replacement this winter. And also not being under contract for next...
