It’s alright. We play them several times after the all star break. There is a stretch in August where we will play each other something crazy like 9 games in a 14 day period. One of those will be a 5 game series and the other a 4 game series.

Snitker needs to get his chit together & tweak his line-up.

He has always made head scratching decisions. We had no business losing to the Cardinals in the postseason 3 years ago and up 3-1 on the Dodgers 2 years ago. Last year was just a miracle run and Will Smith just so happened to turn into Mariano Rivera. I honestly hope Snitker retires soon so we can hire someone better.

Who's better at the moment than Snitker to lead the team? Didn't the Braves management just give him a contract extension & a vote of confidence from winning the WS?

I would go after someone like Sandy Alomar Jr. He was an all star and a gold glove winner so he would certainly have the players’ respect from the get-go. He was interim manager for Terry Francona with the Indians in 2020 for 46 games and went 28-18.

When are we going to start talking about the job that Cash has done in Tampa? He’s only like 45 years old too!

We went to an Atlantic League (indy ball) game last week. I caught a foul ball. The different color stitches remind me of an old Federal League baseball. I never heard of Drake (the Atlantic League ball) as a baseball manufacturer. It’s a great looking baseball. FD804A01-E0BC-4947-936C-34ABC9C94560.jpeg3CD659C3-D549-49BA-BE64-B548937408DA.jpeg

I had never heard of Drake manufacturing baseballs either. I like the look of it though. Nice find!
