Incorrect. Or did not you watch Sale break a rib in the 9th inning after 116 pitches and a 5 run lead?

That is literally the biggest criticism of Snit is that he always leaves a pitcher in too long and they get shelled.

Look at the data. The average ERA among pitchers is a full .50 runs higher when a pitcher reaches the 3rd time through the order. The average OPS+ goes from 91 the first time a hitter sees a pitcher, to 117 the 3rd time that hitters sees the same pitcher in a game. When it comes to the 3rd time through the order, RPs need to be warming up and SPs need to be on a short leash. It's a statistical fact.

Someone that favors an old school manager who wants to bunt, steal, and hit contact ground balls is unconcerned with data.

Give me an old school manager. One that believes Bunting, stealing bases, and getting on base is important. One that believes a starting pitchers arm doesnt fall off after 100 pitches.

Yes to the bolded part. Not as much the other stuff you mentioned.

At this point, SPs getting pulled sooner has far more to do with teams having bullpens full of guys who throw 97-100 with a wipeout breaking pitch than managers and FOs thinking that a guy's arm falls off after 100 pitches. That wasn't the case even a decade ago, much less 50+ years ago. At most, a team used to have a couple of guys who had that repertoire. Now like 75-80% of the relievers in the league have that.

Only concerned with what his EVs are. He's proven he can hit mediocre pitching with poor EVs. When he starts posting league near league average EVs, I'll start to take notice. Until then, he's Royce Clayton without the ability to play SS.

That's 19 WAR player Royce Clayton to you, sir.

Base ref is telling me Royce Clayton only played a half season with the Nationals and I'm here to tell them it was at least 3.

The 2006 Nationals is one of the weirdest baseball teams of all-time. Nick Johnson, Jose Vidro, rookie Ryan Zimmerman, one-year 40/40 Alfonso Soriano, Marlon Byrd, Austin Kearns, Jose Guillen. Ramon Ortiz, Livan, Pedro Astacio, 39-year-old Mike Stanton.

Is AA purposely trolling Bowman? How has the mouthpiece gone from "It's probably Lehman" to "It won't be Weiss or Perez, they would have brought Snit back" to "It's not Lehman, it might be Perez or Weiss" in an 8 hour workday?

Also, if it was going to be Weiss or Perez, they would have announced this like 2 weeks ago.

(although it's entirely plausible that AA is intentionally making Bowman look bad after he mocked the organization for calling up Fuentes for a month)
