Lost his 2 best hitters for most of the year and had a Ad Hoc lineup with Dansby all over the order and changed the lineup till he got it right. Yep who else besides me said WTF FF batting second? Freddie Gonzales would've given up after Albies and Acuna went down. He has done a Manager of the year job. And most people said not to hire him.
    I love Snit. He's not afraid of change or challenges. He just keeps rolling and figures out how to win.

    And la is remembering their past postseason chokes and it will be making them tighten up. Just look
    at the difference in teams last night from beginning, Braves looked loose and ready to go, Dodgers looked like men with a death sentence. It reminds me of late 90s early 2000s Braves teams in the postseason. They played tight and pressed and it bit them every year. Can't play baseball tight have to play with relaxed focus. I mean dang Bryce Wilson looked focused but also like he was having the time of his life as opposed to Kyle Wright who looked like he was scared to death. I look for the Braves to come out swinging tonight and put some runs up early.

    I knew the Dodgers had started having issues. I saw this series happening pretty much how it has. WS should be interesting. Braves are hot.

    Braves pulling a John Cohen 2013 special - AJ Minter starting tonight.

    I don’t like it from the Braves standpoint. I’ll gladly be proven wrong. I think u bring into play way more problems and my feeling has always been the more people trot out to the mound the more likely that someone just doesn’t have it.

    I can see WHY they’re doin it and if they win it will all work out.

    I'm not fond of the bullpen game myself but with the choice to start Max on short rest or this, I feel like this is the best course of action.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BrunswickDawg again

    What else do you do?

    I think this move is just fine, this was always going to be a bullpen game.

    Thought that was about all he had, 42 pitches for a 1 inning guy is a lot. Especially since it’s been years since he has had to work that deep.

    Yeah he was at the end. Velo and command was off a little that last inning. Heckuva job from a 1 inning pitcher. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

    I'm scratching my head why he kept Smith in. The dodgers were just being patient with him. They weren't going for his "Glavine" junk and knew he was going to walk them ot make a huge mistake. Plus hate to say it but dammit Ozuna get your depth perception checked.
