I figured they'd be better than last year, but still pretty middling. I still really miss the outfield trio of Betts, Bradley, and Benintendi. But I do love Verdugo. Kid has fire.

You act as if time with the organization is a valid reason to put him at the helm to lead the team. Yes it’s up to the players to win games but it’s also the managers job to put his players in the best position to win those games. Look at the Hawks. Same team, same players, better coach to lead them and they look like a different team. Brian is a nice guy but that’s a silly reason to keep him as manager when clearly he isn’t good at it.

You called him a journeyman. He isn't. That's what I was addressing. Words mean things. They play 160 games. Calm down, or send your hat back. I don't really give a shit.

Sorry I didn’t know you weren’t allowed to be a fan of a team and criticize it’s crap leadership. Baseball managers are the least consequential out of all sports. They sign the lineup card, and make pitching changes. 90% of their job is to stand on the top step of the dugout and yell come on kid. They are glorified cheerleaders. Do you actually watch the games, or do you just get score updates? Going into yesterday's game Morton had a 1.13 ERA in the 1st 4 innings. He gave up 5 in 3 yesterday. Is that on Snitker? The Braves lead the league in team bullpen ERA (low 2s), yet they were garbage over the weekend. Snitker? Pache's bat isn't ready for the show, but there is no minor league for him to participate in. They can't just let one of their best prospects rot. Snitker? The NL leader in HRs and RBI from last year has 1 HR and 4 RBI with a sub .200 BA. Duval would've helped cover that up but without a universal DH there isn't a roster spot for him. Snitker is exactly the kind of manager you want at the helm on a team this young. Complaining about him just makes you sound like a typical know-nothing caller to a sports talk radio show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also get a room for yourself and Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers are nothing more than glorified cheerleaders according to @Iculus Their decisions mean nothing and don’t have any bearing on the outcomes of games.

MLB does a horrible job of marketing themselves and then wonders why the youth aren’t picking up the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
