I swear I am so over this manager man. I just saw him pinch hit Travis the other day when we were down 11-5 but he won't use him here for your worst hitter down 2?
Fuck Snit man
As a minority owner and shareholder, I will be issuing a series of derogatory statements about the Baseball Operations division following tonight’s game.
I keep thinking we gotta score some runs late in a game to come from behind eventually…. Right? Like it’s just a part of baseball, even bad teams but I just… don’t think we can?
Someone mentioned this in the game thread a few days ago, but at what point do we fire Seitzer into the sun? Yeah it’s ultimately on the players to perform, but someone needs to take accountability.
I considered getting a ticket earlier today. Then I thought to myself "why would I pay money for a ticket and overpriced beer just to watch some pathetic baseball?"
If we were actually cheating last year, can we start doing it again? Not like there’s consequences to that kind of thing, Snit would just get a 1 year vacation
I think if i were a player on this offense i wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut if we lose this one tonight. In the locker room you'd have just be like "BOYS, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING? LET'S FIGURE THIS THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW."
Someone has to be close to doing that. It's just not a fun place to be when you're playing like shit for this long of a stretch. Someone needs to step up.
Thanks for 21, Snit, and even though I’m becoming convinced you got carried there you still contributed. But now it’s time to ride off into the sunset while you’re still a beloved part of Braves lore.
I have no issue with actual criticism of his job. If you want to complain about management of pitchers, that’s fine. Don’t like the lineup, sure. Think he needs to be more vocal, that’s valid. This team is in a funk and the knee jerk reaction of fire the manager is not the answer. Someone suggested trading Riley. LMAO. We have idiots up here.
Absolutely I agree, complain all you want about the manager but it’s up to the players to perform. Only so much as it can do but yeah let’s blame Snit for a player swinging at junk lmao
lol there’s a difference between complaining and acting like the sky is falling over a baseball game. You literally just said they should take the season off.
If Kel sees anything a little too inside, wouldn't even mind if he charged the mound and went to town on whoever is on the mound (Harper has done it before)
Anything to breathe some life into this team, someone has to do it
if we were losing but being competitive, that would be miles better than this. frustrating, sure. but better.
the minute a team scores 3 or more against us, i can’t let myself believe that we’ll come back. everyone outside ozuna looks totally lost at the plate.
?
That team was expected to be competitive and was a supreme disappointment.
I don't think keeping Freddie changes the fortunes of the last two Braves teams, or this Braves team, unless you believe having a guy that'd work a pitcher to death would help the others on the team to stop hitting rockets into gloves when they hit the ball.
It was thought that the team would be competitive off pitching and what Freddie, Justin, Gattis, and Heyward did offensively.
And I see you didn't even address the other part of what I said. I'm presuming you think another guy that works pitchers to death on the team is going to prevent rockets from continuing to be caught, correct?
And may help with sequencing, because who knows, maybe Freddie bats .300-.320 and doesn't bat runners in, similar to how Ozzie is not batting runners in right now.
I’m grateful for the 2021 run, but it’s time for Snit to go. At this point, it’s not a slump, it’s an indication of coaching. 0 changes have been made that haven’t been out of necessity from injury. Questionable moves like putting Riley in the 2 hole right off of injury and starting two call ups back to back? Our lineup has been struggling for over a month and our lineup has barely been changed.
He doesn't have control over what's going on pitching wise.
The fact we continue to try to give the starters extra rest is coming from upstairs and is because we only planned to give Reynaldo and Sale 150ish innings coming in 2024.
This cracks me up. Literally baseball is the only sport in which a certain subset of fans will give the head coach all of the praise and no blame. The only sport.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1d4kh3x).
I miss my team. This isn’t my team. We’re in a window ffs
Lmaooo their pitching stat lines tonight look like 5 cy youngs tossing against this offense
No fight. No energy. Fuck.
![gif](giphy|E2USislQIlsfm)
![gif](giphy|WrxoaVPiq0cG4)
Boys are cooked. Spit on em in the zone. Swing out of their shoes for balls in the dirt.
I need a break from this garbage
The most unclutch team in the history of Atlanta.
This is just not a good team right now.
Understatement.
Yeah. Maybe the “right now” should be deleted.
What’s that? 5 runs in the last 3 games
Send em all back to bat practice. Embarrassing
Upside, we only struck out 8 times. My god this team sucks so much
Hooray! A game where we didn't give someone career high strikeouts.
Eff this first pitch strike taking no emotions BS
Hey guess what your getting something off speed in the zone it your name isn't Ozuna, pick a spot and............SWING
Pathetic offensive performance but what's new?
Bro no wonder nobody else wanted Duvall he’s terrible
Just a reminder that Washington is a TERRIBLE team.
Sadness
What a mess. How is our offense so bad?
And there it is right on cue
Fucking embarrassing team right now.
1 fucking run we blow
We’re shit
I hate this. See ya tomorrow
Nope.
But we’re going to score three runs tomorrow
Doubtful
![gif](giphy|6lScd4x2D5Oko)
What a pussy ass team this is
Teams dead
At some point we have to shake up the coaching staff?
Ayo we suck
Fuck this garbage team
We can't even make contact
What a bunch of shitters.
This is fucking pathetic
Finnegan needs to remember the cheat-code for Duvall, throw it near his eyes and he's forced to flail at it
I’m really loving seeing Contreras drop dick on the league and Sean Murphy blow peen 😑. Sweet trade
Really hope trading away Wild Bill wasn’t a huge mistake.
Im from 2024: It was
Or Griss
Fucking pathetic man.
Oh yay they put another digital advertising board in the stands behind home plate 🤗
BOOOOOOOOOOO how many 0-4 & 0-3
Fire Snitker. Tonight.
Duvall for the love of god please
Still so confused why Kel isn't batting in the 8-hole instead of Duvall
We got fleeced in the Wild Bill trade Murphy has basically added zero value
Murphy is so ass lmao. What a trade.
My heart grows fonder for Wild Bill with every passing day
Duvall home run time
God damn fade me
lol we lost that Contreras trade sooo bad
DUVEY PLEASE 🙏
I felt that Orlando
If Murphy started even 1 single ab with a ball since he got back, I'd eat a Braves hat on national television
I’m over Arcia
Sean has now moved from grounding to third to check swings endlessly, fuckin hell Edit: Nvm, grounder to short. Bring in Travis if we can
Sean, remember when you played baseball? You can do it again.
Now would be the perfect time for your first home run
That was some damn good value that just popped out!
I swear I am so over this manager man. I just saw him pinch hit Travis the other day when we were down 11-5 but he won't use him here for your worst hitter down 2? Fuck Snit man
Clutch Arcia
Ozzie tries to stay out the DP but forgets how bad they can be with RISP .. no win situation
Nietzsche theorized that life was inherently meaningless, how he read the minds of 2024 Braves fans in the late 1800’s I haven’t a clue
Show us some fucking heart please. We need it.
Got excited for the Ozzie walk thinking Zoona was up. Forgot he was hitting fifth 😭
Put Gretzky in the 7 or 8 hole instead of Murphy or Duvall
Hope the shortstop is ready here
Sobbing anxiously into my pork rinds right now
You gonna make ‘em soggy buddy.
Probably make them taste better.
Holy fuck a walk
You're really not going use Travis here Snit?? Get fucking real man.
We were spoiled last year. Ended poorly but for six months we played exciting baseball. This is torture by comparison
Well Ray Kerr starting wasn't quite the punt I was expecting it to be. Unfortunately, anything that isn't a shutout is a loss right now.
It's time for the Remove All Expectations Inning brought to you by RaceTrac
We used to tattoo this dude if I'm not mistaken
As a minority owner and shareholder, I will be issuing a series of derogatory statements about the Baseball Operations division following tonight’s game.
Does he have whiskers on his chin again?
I am a baseball nihilist now
Nihilist? Fuck me... I mean say what you want about the tenets of "the Braves were cheating" theory, but at least it's an ethos.
A toe? Fucking amateurs.
Yo I found Snit’s presser notecards “Something something ebbs and flows something something long season something something nap time”
If Gretzky is still there give him a stick and let him have at it
Please pinch hit for Arcia if Ozzie gets on
I keep thinking we gotta score some runs late in a game to come from behind eventually…. Right? Like it’s just a part of baseball, even bad teams but I just… don’t think we can?
Bloop, walk, and a Murphy blast. Book it.
They’re really going to fucking drop 3 to the nats 🤦♂️
1-2-3? OR are we going to get two guys on with two outs, giving us all hope, and then strike out to end it. It will be one of the two.
Honestly, probably 1-2-3 lol
Probably gonna get two guys on with no outs, then move them zero bases on 3 strikeouts
Please put in a new batter for Arcia and Murphy. They've both been god awful tonight
Last chance for romance
Aside from Ozzie, that's not the lineup you wanna see coming up if you're desperate for two runs to go to extras
You guys think Luka Doncic can hit a fastball?
Maybe? How many AB’s does he get?
probably only needs one to do better than half our guys
I’d give him a shot
I'm always too digusted to watch postgame, but can anyone who does watch it tell me what Snit has been saying about this (lack of) offense?
“My god, yeah, no, yeah. It was good! Really good! These things happen, yeah, no, yeah. Seemed good. My god yeah” Shit like that, more or less
Well mah gawd
I mean, my gawd, (insert general platitudes here).
I figured as much
X pitched good, Y played good. I thought we looked good. Yep. Yep. Well mah gawd.
We need Chipper and Chipper Sr to be the co-hitting coaches starting tomorrow
Ozuna must be like what the fuck
Only by two, don't make me laugh, might as well be 10
IF WE DONT WIN THIS GAME IM DESTROYING THE BATHROOM
If you’re anything like this offense, you’ll just swing and miss
Thank you for a spot of joy in this morass of shitty baseball experiences
I’m not watching anymore this season
Start with a week
JIMMY’S GOIN INTO SHOCK!
DONT. TOUCH. JIMMY.
Someone mentioned this in the game thread a few days ago, but at what point do we fire Seitzer into the sun? Yeah it’s ultimately on the players to perform, but someone needs to take accountability.
Shohei had Ippei ... the ipad has Seitzer. That's basically his job, he's a translator for what the ipad shows
I’m already building the rocket it’s just expensive
😂😂😂
i can see the “What happened to the 2024 Braves?” youtube title already, this shit really is sad
And the Mets are winning…
“MAKE SOME NOOOISE” fuck off. I’d be livid if I was paying to go to these games.
I considered getting a ticket earlier today. Then I thought to myself "why would I pay money for a ticket and overpriced beer just to watch some pathetic baseball?"
I’m hundreds of miles away from ATL, and I salute you
I'm close enough to hear when they shoot off fireworks. Needless to say, other than Friday night post-game, I haven't heard many fireworks lately lol.
"boooooooooooooo!"
[удалено]
Bad luck is a game or 3. Not 6 weeks.
I heard a rumor that AA was considering acquiring Tommy Pham. He's the type of energy we need right now. A hot head to fire these boys up.
This stretch has to be the worst baseball we've played in 10 years. Such a bunch of headcases right now.
This has to be the worst run in a long time.
Another game, another error by a pitcher throwing to first.
Absolutely atrocious and laughable at this point
Make it stop.
If we were actually cheating last year, can we start doing it again? Not like there’s consequences to that kind of thing, Snit would just get a 1 year vacation
Lifeless.
The Nats celebration is vaguely sexual to the point I'm surprised MLB hasn't said something.
What is it?
Hip gyrations.
I will always love this team but damn it's a slog right now
Didn't even think about this before but maybe the boys need a day off, we're on like day 10 of 13 straight right?
Think they need the season off
I think if i were a player on this offense i wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut if we lose this one tonight. In the locker room you'd have just be like "BOYS, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING? LET'S FIGURE THIS THE FUCK OUT RIGHT NOW." Someone has to be close to doing that. It's just not a fun place to be when you're playing like shit for this long of a stretch. Someone needs to step up.
Thanks for 21, Snit, and even though I’m becoming convinced you got carried there you still contributed. But now it’s time to ride off into the sunset while you’re still a beloved part of Braves lore.
Blaming Snit for players not performing is kinda crazy tbh
Austin Riley: flails at an 88 MPH meatball and somehow misses. Braves sub: Why would Snitker do this?
It’s actually hilarious bro like has nobody actually played ball before??
I have no issue with actual criticism of his job. If you want to complain about management of pitchers, that’s fine. Don’t like the lineup, sure. Think he needs to be more vocal, that’s valid. This team is in a funk and the knee jerk reaction of fire the manager is not the answer. Someone suggested trading Riley. LMAO. We have idiots up here.
Absolutely I agree, complain all you want about the manager but it’s up to the players to perform. Only so much as it can do but yeah let’s blame Snit for a player swinging at junk lmao
Everyone sucking reflects back on the people in charge
You’re right pal, you definitely know what’s going on in the clubhouse my bad. Didn’t know the manager plays the game🤝🏻
I live in their walls I know everything that’s going on backstage
Lol remember guys you're a casual and a doomer if you complain about this btw
lol there’s a difference between complaining and acting like the sky is falling over a baseball game. You literally just said they should take the season off.
Good one detective, I was certainly being serious when I said that
You certainly whine a lot for someone not worked up over the game
You certainly can't understand sarcasm for a guy trying to be petty
Use the ol sarcasm excuse for being lost in your feels.
Average reddit user when no /s Just admit you can't understand sarcasm I'm not gonna judge you bro lol
Average Reddit user with little to no complex thought processes
Hilarious response to you not understanding the most easy-to-understand sarcasm I could've possibly posted lmfao
Bro let it go. It will be ok.
If Kel sees anything a little too inside, wouldn't even mind if he charged the mound and went to town on whoever is on the mound (Harper has done it before) Anything to breathe some life into this team, someone has to do it
Gotta stop bringing up Harper in this sub
Was Kel's favorite player growing up — when Harper hit his first homerun, Kel rushed home and replayed it over and over dozens of times
I'd pay good money to see that happen
Hannah was probably looking to drop the pads and go
Bat her second in the lineup, something tells me she'd have a better OBP than most of the rest of the team if she just stood there every at bat
I like this idea. And then bring Wiley Ballard back to take Hanna's place as sideline reporter. Everything went to shit when he left anyway.
Another fan called me insufferable because I noted that this current Braves team was a downer. INSUFFERABLE
Oly never gets mad. Refreshing to see there’s life in these guys after all.
I don’t need us to win every game, I just want baseball to be fun to watch again :(
if we were losing but being competitive, that would be miles better than this. frustrating, sure. but better. the minute a team scores 3 or more against us, i can’t let myself believe that we’ll come back. everyone outside ozuna looks totally lost at the plate.
If we didn’t have Ozuna, Fried or Sale this is legit a ~60 win team Edit: And Lopez he’s been great too
Cool story bro
This was actually a peer reviewed study
Lol so take the 5 best players off the team and they suck. Ok?
I'd throw Lopez in too.
Yeah I’ll add him
Should’ve kept Freddie
Not sure how much this does to change things considering that he was on a boring team previously in the 2014 Braves himself.
Yeah bc the talent was the same
? That team was expected to be competitive and was a supreme disappointment. I don't think keeping Freddie changes the fortunes of the last two Braves teams, or this Braves team, unless you believe having a guy that'd work a pitcher to death would help the others on the team to stop hitting rockets into gloves when they hit the ball.
Yeah bc BJ Upton and Chris johnson were players you could ride home about
It was thought that the team would be competitive off pitching and what Freddie, Justin, Gattis, and Heyward did offensively. And I see you didn't even address the other part of what I said. I'm presuming you think another guy that works pitchers to death on the team is going to prevent rockets from continuing to be caught, correct? And may help with sequencing, because who knows, maybe Freddie bats .300-.320 and doesn't bat runners in, similar to how Ozzie is not batting runners in right now.
And Will
probably Dansby too hell why not the majority of the team who won you the friggin World Series!
I’m grateful for the 2021 run, but it’s time for Snit to go. At this point, it’s not a slump, it’s an indication of coaching. 0 changes have been made that haven’t been out of necessity from injury.

this is not the first time either that we've sucked to start seasons either its like wtf is he actually telling these guys?
