Why Brian Snitker isn't the right manager for the Braves' future:

I don't really disagree with anything in the article except for just giving Ron Washington the job. Snitker has made several blunders this year, and he doesn't need to make blunders once the waves of talent start coming into Atlanta in droves. Let's just say that Mark Bradley may have lost his clubhouse access (granted he had one anyway) once the John's see this article.
 
Wasn't it Bradley who wrote a month or two ago that they were likely to keep Snitker?

Reading this, my mind immediately goes to who wanted him to write this. Feels kind of like the front office wanting him to put this out there.
 
Snitker not being the manager in 2018 isn't really a hot take haha.

I also find it a bit naive to think that Porter and Washington are currently sitting in the dugout all year not advising Snit to make better moves....yet they will suddenly make better moves if they are put in charge. Nobody else is beating down the door to hire these guys as managers...shouldn't that be a sign?

Many around these boards wanted Bud Black. Luckily for Colorado the Braves decided to make yet another sub optimal move.
 
Just go outside the organization and hire someone that Bobby Cox doesn't have a personal relationship with. This Braves Way groupthink in the organization is infuriating.

Better yet, go ask Bobby who he doesn't want and then go out and immediately hire him. Then maybe Bibby will get the cue and just leave already.

I mean how many more bobbyheads and Bobby blowjobs are we going to have to endure. I am so tired of living on past successes of the 90's. I mean you have to applaud him for winning all those games with a team of 4 Hof'ers and 1 very close HOF'er.. but time to move on...
 
I hope we go outside the organization, but if we still find it necessary to promote from within I hope that we go the Bo Porter route. Not ideal, but at least he is at least somewhat forward thinking.
 
If somebody feels ambitious enough to search, bet that most of the comments were positive/approving toward retaining Snitker. For those if you who that he's there because of Cox and 90's nostalgia, get real. He got the job mostly because of reputation for being player-friendly from Freeman and others in the clubhouse.

Ironically, Bobby is a better baseball mind than anyone we could hope to bring in.
 
Based on the replies to Francoeur's post, it worries me that the casual fan is still misted by the Cox administration. Unfortunately, the FO has to somewhat pander to the casual fan because they are the ones buying seats at SunTrust up to 81 times a year.
