why can't the braves get a manager who can close the deal?

i love bobby cox he did a lot of things for the braves franchise execpt
win world series titles.
the teams he had should have been a dynasty in the 90's and 2000's
they should have at least 4 or 5 in that span.
but bobby cox made bad choices and sqaunderd the best pitching staff in the game.
i hope snitker does not repeat bobby cox.

I think Snit has done a great job with this team. Amazing they got this far.
I think he did what he did yesterday to give the team the best chance to win. If he had gone all in and started Max (who hasn’t looked great his last two) and still lost they would be royally screwed for the next two.

Unfortunately, everything looks so much easier given the benefit of hindsight.
Am I disappointed they didn’t get it done last night. Heck yeah! Did ir REALLY BLOW that they squandered a 4 run lead after 1? Heck yeah! But they still have two games to win one, so take heart in that, as they have won in Houston already.
As for lamenting the ‘90s, true, that REALLY BLEW, too. . . sigh.
GO BRAVES!!

It's not his fault that Morton broke his leg

Trying to win a WS game entirely with the bullpen is never going to be easy. Also, he has to consider that the Braves are up 3-1 and that they don't have to use up every available resource trying to win game 5.

I've said all year, even if we win.....the majority isn't because of Snitz. His situational managing has been horrific and head scratching all year. It's almost like he tripped over his own D*&# to the WS. Kyle Wright should've been starting game 4 to begin with and then to come right back game 5 and start another young pitcher back to back with no experience despite having Smyly available or even Fried on 4 days rest....not to mention wasting his bat at home being our best hitting pitcher. The intentional walk last night made no sense when you're facing a righty anyways and leaving no room for error incase of a walk. Completely wasted that GS in the 1st. We got this far strictly on the long ball, the bullpen and specifically the moves GM Alex Anthopoulos made at the deadline. If the Braves still hold on to win this thing, there's no doubt he'll be one of the worse managers to ever win it. He might be what you call a players coach, but def not a situational one. Probably a good reason it took 40 years in the league to be a manager.

What would you do different? If you're going to complain, tell us how it should have been fixed under Cox and how Snit can fix it now?
The Braves lost their most experienced starter to injury in game 1, have a 3 - 2 series lead due to some good bull pen pitching and timely hits, and have survived to rotate back to their 2 best remaining starting pitchers for game 6 and game 7, if needed. At this point, Snit hasn't really done anything wrong. With the starting pitching situation, he wanted to get 5 innings and be tied or within 1 run with the rookie, Davidson. That didn't work so well. Also, Lee, the starter for game 4 didn't make it through the 1st.

Wow, another post by a person whose childhood must have been scarred by a coach who cut you from an 8 year old team. Get a life and realize that in the real world teams lose.

Why do you have to be so negative. Bobby Cox was a great manger and the Braves were a dynasty. It is hard to win! It is even harder to win Championships! Did you stop to think Bobby made all the right decisions and got the braves to all those worls series and all the division titles?
He did not get to the world series and then just start making bad choices and bad moves! He made the right moves and the players did not deliver! ( that is hard to say because they were playing in world series)
This years team has over achieved but they are playing great! BTW the series is not over and they are up 3-2.. The loss was not on the manager but rather the players!
The same goes for Tony Elliot! He calls plays and players either execute or not!
Go Braves and Go Tigers!

Maybe I would never win squat in the WS, but I would manage the games completely different than Cox or Snit or maybe any other manager.
Cox managed playoff games and WS games as if he was still playing a 162 game reg. season. He did not manage the WS games like a 7 game series when you need to throw everything you have at winning each game. Had snit done that, he may have won game 5 and the series. Especially after a 4-0 lead in 1st inning.
It was obvious that the starting pitcher, Davidson, couldn't find the strike zone with a seeing eye dog after the first 3 Houston hitters. By the end of the 2nd inning. he had thrown over 55 pitches and given up 2 runs. A manager should know his pitchers well enough to know when they just don't have it in a game. And it was obvious early on, he didn't have it last night. I would have pulled him after the 3rd batter he faced. And said so last night.
If Atlanta loses the next 2 games and the series after leading 3 games to 1 and leading game 5 by 4-0 in 1st inning, I hope snit never manages another Braves game.

I see. Just throw everyone and if by some bad luck, a hit or 2 goes against you and you lose, now you've set yourself up for a high probability of losing 2 in a row because the pen is tired and the opposing team has seen what you have multiple times. At least now, they have a day off and back to starting pitching. Now, if the Braves have any lead Tuesday night after the 6th inning, then all arms get ready. With a lead, you play the end of game 6 like it's game 7. Only one pitcher would be excluded.

It’s crazy how identical the posts are for disgruntled Clemson fans and disgruntled Braves fans; I guessing it’s because they’re the same people.
The Braves/Clemson coaches are so stupid
Why can’t the see what we the fans so easily see?
We have to have a better QB/Pitcher
A team at our level has to have a better player on the bench
And my favorite
The media hates Clemson/Atlanta
Did you hear how excited the announcers got when BC/Pitt/Syracuse/Milwaukee/LA/Houston took the lead?

I just had to revisit this thread! It aged so well! Seems like the Brian Snitker actually knew what he was doing! The players sute love him! People who actually play at the highest level love him and trust him!
Of course the OP and others know so much more than a man who has been in the organization for 45 years has now won 4 Division titles in a row and a world series! World Champions!
Yeah y'all know so much!
Go Braves and Go Tigers

Snitker worked his way up--coached the Anderson Braves and the Greenville Braves on his long journey to the top. He's pretty much seen, coached, and managed everything and everywhere in the Braves organization. That experience paid off on 11/2/21. Now, let's get a contract for Freddie Freeman.
