    Looking like an interim. Top two names right now are Pendleton and Snitker at AAA. Eddie Perez could be a darkhorse. Long term, the top name is Bud Black.

    I understand the excitement since the Braves suck. But how can anyone hold him accountable with that shitshow of a roster he has? It's Freddie Freeman and a whole bunch of scrubs. No manager can win with that to work with.

    I agree, but he had a decent roster and still couldnt do shit in the past. As some were stating, this was his last yr regardless. I didnt see him staying with them rebuilding like they are.

    So Ned Yost would leave his post with the Kansas City Royals to come manage that trainwreck? You sound like Ole Miss fans pining for Tony Dungy when they fired Nutt.

    It is less about this year than the collective body of work. I would have fired him after the collapse in 2014.

    Watch the games and you'll see...

    Last weekend, he started frenchy in RF with perhaps the best defensive OF in mlb (inciarte) in LF. Fredi started Kelly Johnson at 2b with Gordon beckham at 3b.... Now neither are good players at this point in their careers, but they should be just the opposite. Fredi is an idiot and always has been

    That's a fairer assessment. I just think when you look at this year in a silo, it's hard to hold him accountable. I mean, I know they are rebuilding ahead of the new ballpark, but they didn't have to trade away EVERYONE. They got rid of some really good, relatively young talent that they could still build around (Simmons, Shelby Miller, Heyward, etc.).
