Simple question or maybe its not.

Which manager should shoulder more blame for their teams play off exit this year?

Roberts and his bullpen management or Snitker and his?

Managers get a ton of blame when players don't perform but managers do make critical decisions and some non decisions that cost games.

I'm sure Dodgers fans will say Robert's and Braves Snitker.

Kershaw and Freeman will probably be a close 2nd with these fan bases

Freddie Freeman if you ask me. Snit did lose Game 1 though by pulling Fried and going to his butt buddy Luke Jackson. And it will bother me until the Braves Win a playoff series(probably the rest of my life) wondering what happens if Snit leaves Tomlin in on Game 4

Yes, Freeman sucked balls this series for sure but the bullpen usage was on Snit, no?

Yeah Bullpen is on Snit but Chris Martin getting hurt ruined our whole plans. We probably win Game 1 if he doesn’t get hurt and then Fried also starts Game 4 if he doesn’t get hurt.

How did that even happen? Complete fluke for sure. Threw what 4 warm up pitches?

Another thing is how the hell did our Ace only start 1 game in this series?? I know the argument of Soroka is better on the road well....If you start him game 1 you can start him in Game 4.......ON THE ROAD!!

Snit made a dubious decision in game 1 but...

Game 4 Braves had the bases loaded in the 7th with one out and again in the 8th with one out. They scored 0 runs! They lost that game in extra innings. Don't see how you blame the manager for that.

Game 5 the starter gave up 7 in the first gets pulled, reliever gives up 3 more. How do you blame the manager for that?

If Overrated Freddie had even produced just half the times he was up with a runner in scoring position, the Braves sweep. That's a fact.

I've said for a while now that Brian Shitker has shit for brains.

Snitker. You stay with the hot hand in the playoffs. I don’t know why that’s such a difficult concept.

They couldn’t touch Fried in Game 1, but he pulls him after one inning.

Tomlin is putting them down with ease in game 4, but he pulls him after an inning and a third.

Game 4 is more forgivable because the offense pissed away so many scoring chances, but game 1 was all on Snit.

For yesterday, he did set up our rotation to where our best pitcher all season long could only pitch game 3.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but Soroka should have started game 1 so he also could have started game 4.

soroka for one game was the mistake for sure.

that’s why I go with the Braves guy.

roberts got exactly what he wanted.

Buehler/Kershaw/Jansen advance.

his second guy didn’t do what he was supposed to do

it would’ve been game 5. On regular rest. I doubt he goes on short rest

Given his road splits & how darn near unbeatable he was on the road, I disagree. Shitker wanted him pitching on the road. A crying shame the best pitcher only played in 1 game.
