The Atlanta Braves

Walt Weiss man. This can’t be real. Having a hard time choking this one down.

Every single one should be in.

Just checking in. And am in disbelief.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Like…serious depression on the baseball end. Glad we got Elander but losing Tony V plus going with Weiss is suicide fuel.

Idk about Fernando. 173 wins 153 losses. Only won 20 games once. He had a great 4/5 year run, but I'm not sure that's enough

I don't think he should be in, but W/L or win total doesn't have anything to do with it. He didn't do anything special after the age of 25. I've never really bought the whole "but he made every Mexican in LA a Dodger fan" thing. Cool, then the Dodgers should retire his number and put him in their HoF (which they have).

I can't believe Mattingly hasn't gotten in purely because of the team he played for.

I’d just about put him in just based on his rookie year. Fernando-mania was crazy. But yeah- he wrecked his arm throwing a screwball.

Sorry boys, I stop by the thread for the first time in forever and then they announce this ******** a few hours later. I jinxed us.

 

[TBrown]

Did we seriously just go from Uncle Scott to Florida Stanley?

 

[TBrown]

Managerial hire so bad C/O came back from >1yr hiatus and Noch is posting

 

[TBrown]

I just want a manager who has seen an iPad before. Pretty low bar but that’s what this team has done to me.

 

[BigOrange15]

Walt Weiss...what a ****ing joke.

Non-serious ass organization

 

[Weezer]

I would rather have had Tony Vitello with zero MLB experience than Walt Weiss. Combine this with Kim opting out and it's just a black hole of suck. Braves need to go hard in free agency, which means they probably won't, and the black hole of suck will expand. Dammit.

Lehmann “So, tell me again about your approach to free agency?”

….

“You know what, I think I’m going to stay in LA”

Drink a Celsius. It’ll be alright.

If there is any glimmer of hope, it's that the manager position isn't nearly as important to success in baseball as HC is to football. Ozzie Guillen managed a WS team for crying out loud. And as terrible as Snit was, he also won a WS.

Hopefully Weiss has been taking notes on what not to do, or we hire a competent bench coach to help him make those decisions.

Wait till you see us do *absolutely nothing* this offseason!

Not surprising he opted out. The Cubs will likely offer him a QO at 22 million and he can either accept that or he will test FA. Either way he is guaranteed more than that option was worth.
