SIAP but former Coach Bill Battle has been hospitalized with covid. He's doing ok for now but at his age and with this illness you never know.

He inherited a gold mine of prospects. They continue to win in spite of him.. just like they did tonight. He’s the worst manager in baseball and there isn’t a close second

This man is right about Snit being terrible. Seems like a good guy, was a good AAA manager, not cut out for the show. He cost All the Cards series last year, and this year has already proven himself to be inept with an expanded roster.

Baseball is America’s pastime...the present is football. Football is much more of a revenue draw than baseball. Football will happen.

It may but not for long. Im not going to get too political, but there are people that will do everything in their power to make sure football doesnt happen.

I understand powerful athletes using their platform for change, but it is becoming unbearable. Sports offer an escape from all of the problems of the world... or at at least they used to.

If everyone pushes to fix the problems then we can go back to sports being an escape from work and family.

He inherited a mess of prospects who weren’t ready yet and overpaid veterans...and has improved the team’s record every season. If managers suck, their team doesn’t win. Players don’t win in osmosis...they win for him. He’s not the best manager in baseball but he’s not in the bottom half. He out managed Gabe Kapler who had a bought loaded Philly team that you pined over. And that guy is still managing in San Francisco. He’s better than what the Angels throw up every year with the best player in baseball

Proved it to you...not to me. I’m a veteran Braves fan since the late 70’s. I know what terrible looks like.

Ok, how about not playoff caliber, World Series winning manager. Compare Bruce Bochy and how he handled the Giants run, to Snit and how he is handling this Braves team. Theres a reason Bochy won 3 and Snit's team hasn't won a series yet.

I don’t see where I’m calling him elite. We were perennial contenders with Bobby Cox and we won ONE. Just perspective when reading he’s the WORST...far from it. He’s mid level at WORST.

I know its hard to win one. Just watching his decisions and the lineups he puts out day in and day out he constantly puts the team in a position where they win in spite of him instead of because of him. The team is good, they are one of the top teams in baseball, but the in game decision making of the manager is bottom of the league. My point with Bochy was he knew how to handle in game decisions and he put his guys in position to win.
