Snit watch is on.

AA doesn’t even know the Braves record. He is too busy dumpster diving behind other teams complexes. He isn’t firing anyone.
 
It certainly does feel like a change in that role is becoming necessary, but I just don’t see it happening. I don’t think he’ll be back next season, but I think he’ll be allowed to finish. I could be wrong and I have been plenty of times before, but that’s my belief
 
I mean he has to have lost the locker room by now. No fire whatsoever. Constantly making terrible in game choices. The players can see it.
 
He 100% needs to go but it may not be all on AA, McGuirk has been around a long time and the good Ol boys club runs deep in Atlanta. I don't see them firing him out of loyalty for the past 40 years but he needs to go. If I was Snit I would step down.

This is the best possible outcome but the season is lost either way. Weiss is not going to lead them on a huge run.

McGuirk is a business man, not originally a baseball guy. He was in the AOL/TW division before the Braves were spunoff, then came on-board after Kasten left.

I think McGuirk and AA have played this close to the chest. You couldn't fire Snit after the 2022-2023 seasons because it was too recent from the World Series and the offense in 2023 was record breaking.

2024 s a lifeline with all the injuries.

2025 they basically are trying to paint the luxury tax thing as to why they weren't more aggressive, but also because they know Snit is not the long term guy here. Spend enough so the casual fans think you're doing something. The battery and attendance is still pretty decent this season. So I have no doubt that they've been trying to just get past this season with just a bit more than the bare minimum.

Snit can be used as the scapegoat.

Fredi is the interim policy. If Snit steps down, Fredi takes over because of his past experience. If the team goes on a run then he's still not going to get the full-time position, and if the team continues to sink then most fans will probably check out after the All-Star game.

I think they're content with a wild card or barely missing the playoffs. Come into the offseason fresh, and reload with new money to spend.

I can't disagree with any of this good post. I think that's why Fredi was brought in 100%.
 
That’s completely pointless. Weiss has managed before. He could usher the team the rest of the the way to a 90-loss season.
 
Do something unorthodox. Call skip Schumaker and see if wants to be the interim. Haven't ever saw anything like this, but why not? It's not like football where you need time to learn new offenses and defenses.

Schumaker would be on my lists of candidates too. He's a senior advisor with the Rangers so they'd have to give you permission to talk to him.
 
Snits face was blood red during his interview so I'm sure he knows something is coming. If he was coaching a bottom dwelling team with no hopes of success then it wouldn't be so magnified but when the beat writers start saying it then you know it's coming.
