Coppy resigning... apparently we cheat to suck
Brutal. New stadium is really cool though. At least that's good.
We're Barving hard. I was against the rebuild from the start. The whole thing has been a gigantic cluster17. And it just keeps getting worse.
Bye see you later. Now only if TM would leave.
Running McDowell off was stupid...I said as much at the time. I believe johnson's issues were a direct result of that. Stability is important so I'd like to see snit come back. Although I could get behind Washington getting the job.
The braves have stockpiled young talent...keyword young. I expected a better season but I think playoff contention next year is still attainable. No need to burn it all down now and go rite back to where they were 2-3 years ago.

And now this. It just keeps getting worse.
Not a Braves fan, but I do like Brian Snitker, mainly because he coached the M-Braves for a period. Nice guy!
Snitker should be fired yesterday. He's f'n awful. There's a reason you stay with an organization for 50 years and never get a sniff of a manager gig anywhere. Love his loyalty, but you don't hire a guy to run your club just because he's been around forever. He's got to go. I just hope we hire from outside the organization, but I know it'll never happen.
He was in trouble with the MLB about the teams recruitment of Latin American players. Other teams were starting to complain about him.
sounds like some minor to moderately serious infractions in international signing, but made worse by most people hating Coppy and pulling out the knives at an opportune moment. that and Coppy being sick of constantly fighting with the Braves old guard, and was fine with leaving.
most likely the infractions were package deals or under the table money to land international signings. probably a lot of bad feelings about the Maitan signing since it was known including the value for over a year before negotiations were allowed, and supposedly a last-second higher bidder came in but was rejected. but such things are extremely common in that market. let's just hope there's not direct evidence against the Pache or Maitan signings.
Snit appears to your Atlanta braves? manager for 2018
I'm not real optimistic about much surrounding the Braves organization right now.

Gathering reports from BA and other scouts over the past few weeks from the AFL on Fried and he's sitting 94-96 with his FB topping out at 98. If this velo stays, #Braves really have something!
7:45 AM - Oct 29, 2017
AFL stats...
Austin Riley ops = 1.217 (#1 in afl)
Alex Jackson ops = 1.139 (#3 in afl)
Ronald Acuna ops = 1.121 (#4 in afl)
Fried...
19.0 ip 9 h 1 er 5 bb 23 k
0.47 era
0.74 whip
In case you do not know, the afl is the premier league... best of the best.
Future is bright
Are back... first ST game vs Mets at 12 today. Wisler, in likely his last shot (ST) with the Braves, starts it.
Saturday - Newcomb
Sunday - kazmar
I am really interested in how Albies, Swanson, allard, soroka, Newcomb, and acuna perform this spring
I?m excited to see the newbies too. Some dang good potential there hope they can live up to it.
Where is Renfroe batting in the lineup?****** Only hoping because the Braves need a RH bat.
Will he play on opening day or like a month in? (Acuna)
Is that noon eastern time or central?
How many RH bats would we have in the lineup? Albies and Carmargo are both Switch hitters but which side is their better side? That would leave Flowers and Acuna as the only other RH bats.
Allard scratched today for Gwinnett. Looks like he will get his mlb debut shortly. Hopefully Monday vs Mets.
Looking forward to seeing that! Lotta young talent.
Has it been confirmed he's being promoted? Might be getting some extra rest?
Good job, snit... most managers wouldn't bring wisler in to face to the best mlb hitter besides trout. Snit got that brain though... f'n DA
Yes! Biddle has reverse splits anyways.
