GDT 8/29/24: Braves @ Phillies - Urshela MIA?

I dont think AA will run the course of Weiss or another company guy. He will want an analytics guys in there thats a little younger.
 
I was done with Snit when he left Strider in that playoff game against the Phillies when it was clear he was gassed.

He needs to be out this year.

Luckily, the pressure is building enough that I don't think he survives for another year... just hate the Braves wasted so many good teams on someone as stupid as him running this team.

Yeah, I truly believe we would have had an Astros type of dynasty without Snit.
 
And most fans are just mad at the mort debacle... not even looking at the burning two players with the pinch runner after another out was made, or the lineup construction problems, or his usage of the pen the whole twins series that sort of handcuffed him this game.
 
There are games where Snit makes questionable moves that fans like us call-out and realize are suboptimal. There are games where he ignores analytics and makes blatantly wrong decisions.

Yesterday was particularly embarrassing in that it doesn't fall into any of those buckets. Even 1990's style managing would know that with a pitcher around 100 pitches laboring, and a lefty lefty match-up available, that would be the way to go. That's not new school analytics, that's classic old school baseball managing. That's what makes it stand out as so bad. This was Snit truly defying the most tried and tested baseball managing school of thought that still holds true to this day (even if more advanced analytics have further helped optimize this type of decision such as third time through line-up, etc)

Yesterday didn't feel like watching a manager that is suboptimal, it truly felt like watching a manager that was just clueless.

But ultimately it's just poor leadership by an organization to tolerate this year after year. Even if one concludes Snit is a good manager because of some "chemistry dynamic" that he brings, no employee should ever be above constructive feedback to get better. With Snit the repeated mistakes are just so consistent that it is 100% evident that there has been no element of constructive feedback along the way. If they've concluded we can't fire him for various reasons, I can get my arm around that. But it's just embarrassing leadership to conclude that any employee is above basic feedback . Heck Tom Brady is the greatest football player of all time and for 20+ years the guy took daily criticism from his coach to get better.

Well said.

And you know how consistent the bad decisions when I can sit here and predict his mistakes three innings before they happen.
