The Braves haven't scored a non-home run run since the 2nd inning of last Saturday's game. That is now 39 offensive innings.
That would actually be fine if the Braves were as good at hitting homers as they used to be.

Yikes. Just yikes. Nothing I can do? You never heard anything like that even in the few tough years under Bobby Cox. He has checked out

This organization is stupid. They're willing to let this positional group continue to fall apart and attendance start to fall apart, which will lead to salary reduction all over a complete bumbling idiot. Just fire snit! Fire any and everyone associated with hitting. Send a message to this group of positional guys that accountability has arrived. If there's a decent offer for any of them, they will be moved
Firing Snit right now makes no sense. The talent just isn't there on the team atm.

i guess every player in their prime regressing is possible. It's much more likely there's a problem with coaching, offseason preparation, or game preparation. All of these fall under snit.
Every player isn't regressing. Broken wrists are likely the biggest factor for Riley and Albies.
I've broken my wrist twice and both times it took well over a year for my wrist to return to normal so it wouldn't surprise me that's their issue.
Explain Riley’s skyrocketing chase rate and plummeting walk rate.
I agree, especially with Ozzie. But that doesn’t explain all of Riley’s problems.
He's probablly pressing and trying to do too much with his power being down. Or maybe a good hitter at 28 randomly loses all his skills.
