The Braves and Phillies are on very similar trajectories and timelines so it’ll be interesting to see if Girardi puts them over the top. If he does, you could see the pressure ramp up on Snitker.

Say what you will about him, it's hard to deny the job he's done the last couple of years with a musical chairs starting rotation and bad bullpen.

I think he’s the absolute perfect regular season manager for a team with good talent like the Braves but I think his decision making is still atrocious. JMO

Either way, Ned Yost won a WS title five years ago sooooo 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I think promoting AA to team President pretty much says that whatever old guard exists, AA is part of it.

I still think JS plays a pretty significant part of the team and is in McGuirk’s ear but him and Bobby lost significant power after the Coppy situation.

That's The thing. The sport is so unpredictable and so open to second guessing. The reason we hate managers is probably the same reason we like baseball.

Right. I mean I can’t tell you what brilliant decisions Alex Cora made that led Boston to their WS title (other than sign stealing) so in turn it doesn’t mean a ton but it’d be nice to have a manager in 2020 not rely so heavily on his gut.

Not to mention Dave Martinez is a certified idiot and he just got a ring.

And manfred is removing all decision making, no need to curse managers or like baseball. Problem solved!

I hate the way he handles pitchers.

I just traded Max Muncy and Trea Turner for Acuna in one of my fantasy leagues.

Acuna is the number one player on the Yahoo fantasy preseason list.

So Bowman has Duvall as a lock to make the opening day roster, Camargo as starting 3B, and Sean Newcomb as the lock 4th starter.
