Ronald Acuña, Sr. Goes Off On Snitker

Didn't even read, but maybe snit's protective ring is gone. Maybe Acuna (and albies would follow) turning on snit opens the door for a mid season fire
 
I don't speak Spanish well but the other tweet says:

"Who is more stupid than you every time the 7th inning arrives and they hit 3 left-handed you bring a right Nojoda atas depinga Always defending the bulls of the white ones I do a thousand stupid things x that's first"

We need less old, grouchy white guys in this sport. And he isn't wrong. Freddie makes a mistake like that and guaranteed it doesn't get brought up like it last night.

How about putting the blame on the pitchers that gave up 8 runs. Or may be you take blame yourself for making terrible in game decisions that have cost us at least 5-6 games so far this season.

The FF point is a good one. Personally, I think Acuna made a bone head play that needs to be called out in the locker room. Calling Acuna out in the media was a much bigger bone headed deal than what Acuna did... this is snit though, so bone head is what he does best.
 
A little cleaner translation based on the Spanish that I know...

"Same s*** as Tony LaRussa you're both old idiot snitches"

"Who is stupider than you every time we reach the 7th inning and three lefties come up you bring in a righty. Don't mess with me idiot. You're always defending the white suck ups who do things a thousand times dumber and do them first."
 
I really don't want to get into some discussion about the racism spectrum (we all know it applies somewhat here, as it does with almost every old white guy in the country), but Snit does stupid things almost nightly that very clearly cost the Braves chances at victories. So to have him come out and throw a player under the buss publicly is laughable.

Snit definitely has to go, but it has nothing to do with this little snafu. Problem is, the internal options like Weiss and Wash are even dumber, and the last thing this team needs is an even dumber guy pulling the strings.
 
Snit should’ve handled it in the clubhouse and, if asked about it, suggested that it was handled in the clubhouse and there would be no comment. If he felt he HAD to address it, he could’ve even said something supportive of the hustle but mildly critical of the decision making.

It was a bad look. It sounded to me like Snit is letting the pressure get to him—and being even-keeled and good with young players is, like, 90% of what recommends him for the job. I don’t blame Ron Sr. for speaking out, considering the context of what Junior is doing for this organization—his numbers this year, his dedication to improve his fitness over the winter, the contract extension. I’d lose Snit in a heartbeat to keep him happy.

I think I could tolerate one of those guys for a handful of months—provided that it’s clearly understood that their Braves managerial career ends on the last day of the 2021 season.

I kinda wonder if/how the FF deal interlocks with Snitker. FF spoke up for Snit earlier when there was perceived pressure on him. Would firing Snitker alienate Freddie, or is it irrelevant because the FF ship has sailed?
 
Snit has made several blunders this season. Sticking up for Dansby for a bone headed baserunning mistake, calling out Acuna, and saying Soroka was out for the season, only to recant later that day.

Dude is out of touch
 
I agree with a few others that we just don’t seem to have any veteran leadership to speak up and handle things. Love FF but he doesn’t seem that vocal. Agree with everybody else that Snit needs to go. Who would be the hire?

John Gibbons worked for Anthopoulos in Toronto and is currently unemployed, so that name might be near the top of the list.

Before everyone jumps on the "it's got to be an analytical guy," Rocco Baldelli is a Tampa Bay product through-and-through guy (and Falvey and Levine are from the analytical school) and the Twins are just sucking tailpipe this season. Part of that is injury-related, but part of it is Baldelli has absolutely no feel for the game. Snitker's downfall--at least to me--isn't that he's not steeped in analysis; it's that he misses on the easy analytical decisions, especially as it relates to the pitching staff.

Snitker should have kept this in-house, but what strikes me as a fan who is closing in on 70, is that players are bigger, stronger, and faster than ever and they also seem to be dumber. Every day you see Little League mistakes and I think the cause of that is players have learned through their development to rely solely on their physical gifts.
