Snits management of the pitching is still awful and has been since he became manager. Anyone who can’t see that is blind
And yet this still doesn’t address that he made the right call. Once again.

I’d like to see Matzek finish the inning. I hate bringing a pitcher in with runners on base.

I like everyone in the pen but Luke Jackson and AJ Minter. Minter can win me back....Luke Jackson is a lost cause.

Minter has been really good this season, only has one walk on the year. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt until he gives me a reason to not trust him. He's not the closer, and his stuff has never been in question.

And as for Luke, as long as they use him in situations like they did last night, I'm fine, I just never want to see him in the 9th inning of a tied game again.

Yeah, I’m THAT guy.

Damn. WTF was Freddie swinging at last 2 pitches

FFF doing FFF things.

With all the socially distancing rules in place, if I were a pitcher, I'd be having foreign substances on my body since the umpires have to touch the substance to confirm it improves grip.

Like crisco, bardol, & vagisil.

Another good decision by Snit. And it was executed by Greene.

Gotta give the Braves & Mets props. Haven’t seen either not be patriotic during the national anthem & now God Bless America!

So now Joey Votto is Wuhan Virus symptomatic.

He’s such an asshole.

If you blow Snit anymore, I’m calling you Luke Jackson
I have no problem calling out Snit, especially with his consistent use of Luke Jackson in big spots. But it’s an absolute joke how much people shit on him here. The guy has two legitimate starters. No one else has gone more than 4.1 innings in a start. The top three hitters on the team are slumping. The team may reach a million strikeouts in a 60 game season. And yet the Braves are 6-3.

As you can see in my post, I have no issue questioning some of his decisions. Yes, several bad decisions in Game 1. But he also had an injury to Chris Martin that threw a wrench in everything. Doesn’t mean he didn’t mismanage it.

When you find yourself agreeing with Rod on everything, that’s when you should start questioning your thought process.

Our bullpen is really good. And we don’t even have Will Smith back. Problem is can we get the ball to them after Soroka and Fried

I mean, Rod is a faggot who loves dick but he was right about Freddie Freeman.

Need him and Freddie to get going. Can’t expect Ozuna and Dansby to keep hitting this well all year
