Look, I’ve seen Snitker suck. That’s why I’m out on him. This game you’re talking about isn’t even happened. If JG goes down or any other significant injuries all bets are off. He could coach a masterful game and still lose because we still don’t have much depth. Without seeing it, you’re saying Pruitt isn’t the guy and yet you guys criticize me for watching Snit suck every game and wanting him out. At least be consistent

The Braves have the 2nd best record in the NL.

UT got throttled by Vandy last year.

Facepalm.

Sorry you don’t like the truth. But year 1 with that roster getting beaten by an established program under Mason doesn’t mean Pruitt can’t coach. That’s a stupid take. Also not your original one so nice change of subject btw.

Further, see above. Braves winning doesn’t mean Snitker isn’t a bad manager. He is.

I don't even know why I'm entertaining this in the first place, but I said a loss to Vandy in year two, I'm out.

That does not mean I'm currently out on Pruitt. Keep touting the mighty Commodores, though.

Braves - 2nd in NL. Nothing else matters.

Nobody is touting them. I mentioned that's crazy overreaction because you haven't even seen the game and you went back to year 1 for some reason. You don't know what's going to happen. What if JG throws 8 interceptions and we lose 2-0? Fahr Pruitt, right? That's a horrible, overreactive take before the season even starts.

And yes, 2nd in the NL, and won't win in the post season with Snitker imo. What good is it making the playoffs if you can't ever win it?

Let me ask you. Game 7, NLCS in a key moment. Do you trust Brian Snitker to make a good decision to help us win the game or no?

Idk. Dude thought Inciarte was a better leadoff hitter than Acuna. But I guess you’d defend that?

I absolutely disagreed with that... but if you look at the stats, batting order doesn't matter nearly as much as people think.

Snit probably isn't an elite manager, but what he pulled off last year with such a young team and now with all the injuries is impressive. If there's one thing Snit is good at, it's the chemistry part of the equation which is probably over half the battle.

I do not disagree with that second paragraph at all

Nope. A monkey could be winning as manager of the braves. We will not win a World Series with Snit making lineup and bullpen decisions. Won’t happen.

And it’s very unlikely Pruitt ever wins an SEC championship - or the division for that matter. Snitker has already won his division twice (knock on wood) with teams predicted to finish middle of the pack each year.

Snitker might not be great. But he’s done a very good job and his resume compared to Pruitt’s is night and day.

Lol. Based on what? Good grief I thought I was the king of overreaction around here. Year one with our roster is all you’ve seen and you’ve already doomed Pruitt to failure. Good grief man

He’s not doomed to failure at all. In 27 years of the SEC championship game in its current format, Tennessee has won its division 5 times and won the entire conference twice.

So, mathematically, it’s very easy to say it’s *unlikely* Pruitt does either of those things. Doesn’t mean I don’t like the guy or think we’re on the right track.

No it isn’t. Dooley and Butch’s failure means absolutely nothing about how Pruitt with this coaching staff will be. This is a scorching take

There is a gulf between what we know and what we think we know about Pruitt.

For the record, going into Year 2 I thought Butch was pretty good and you were convinced he was THE GUY going well into Year 4. I think Pruitt might be THE GUY - but he’s not proven anything yet.

The whole point of this was Pruitt in comparison to Snitker. Snitker has proven some things. Pruitt has not.
