You could teach him that without pulling him in such an important game with a thin bench in a pennant race. We are fortunate that Ortega pulled off a miracleI’m at the front of the line of the "Let the Kids Play" movement but it was the absolute right move for Snit to pull Acuña! You have Ender dragging his leg to score the other night and what if it was a Game 7 or elimination game and your chances are limited and every mistake is magnified, hopefully lesson learned like with Andruw and everyone is able to move on.

Fine he Strongly Disagreed with Snit! Is that better how anyone can watch that clip and not see/think that Freddie wasn't happy.Don’t put words in my mouth. You said he was “clearly upset”. I was mocking you. If he were “clearly upset” I think we’d all be in agreement that he was upset. It would be clear. Apparently we can’t all agree, therefore he wasn’t “clearly” anything.
FairI agree to disagree, I was worried about the thin bench as well (my main concern was I didn’t know if Ortega had ever played CF) but I just think it had to happen, if you hit a ball 400+ feet then it’s okay to stare at the ball and hold the bat down the first base line but if it isn’t a no doubter you have to hustle.
No it isn't. He continually makes boneheaded decisions just like the intern did. The only reason the braves win is because of their talent. His decisions have costed the team many wins this season. We win in spite of him, just like Dobbs/Kamara,Barnett etc did. But I don't believe we'll ever win at a high level with him, just like even all of that talent couldn't with the intern.Comparing him to Butch is the definition of irrational.
