I think he makes too many bad bullpen decisions. Still a great core to build around for another run. This will be a huge learning experience for those guys who will hopefully have many more chances to make up for it. Hopefully so. Not sure if Donaldson will be back though. I think he was a one year contract wasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will be back. The owners don’t really want to spend much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they resign Josh. He would probably take less for a long term contract to finish out his career in atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I understood too. They made more moves before the deadline than I thought they would. They had a real chance this year. Losing game 4 like they did was rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 They need to spend money on pitching. I don’t think Donaldson will be as effective after this year. He disappeared in the playoffs like others did. I love an AU guy but I’d rather have a real closer and another starter. Out Julio in the pen.

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Brian McCann retired in the dugout after the game. Sorry to see him walk away. That is another hole to fill. Just his leadership will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,363 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Nationals beat the Dodgers. That was the matchup the Braves needed to get to the WS. They owned Washington all season long. They had home field advantage. Couldn't have been set up any better. SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,001 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Time to revive the thread. Braves back in 1st! Deadline moves may have given them a better roster than before Acuna went out. Wish he could still be there, but they've made division changing moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Agreed. AA gets a lot of heat, and rightfully so at times, but he does quite well with these acquisitions without giving up too much prospect capital. If we can make the playoffs, you'd think we could at least be semi-competitive, but I have zero confidence in how Snitker manages the pen, especially when he continues to trot out Will Smith. That will bite us again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will bite us again I guess Snitker is a "work through it"kinda manager. That used to be a problem with Bobby as well during that run. He seemed to leave guys out there a little too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know baseball well enough to not be one of those overreaction twitter fans, but I think I've seen enough to realize Will is not a closer. He's a set up guy and there's nothing wrong with that. I just really hope we can sneak into the playoffs. No team out there wants to see Freddie, Austin, Dansby, and Ozzie roll into town with Morton, Fried, and Anderson in tow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I will never give up on my Braves, but good lord, Brian Snitker is one of the worst managers I have seen. This is not an overreaction either. I have been patient with him for a while, and he is a good clubhouse guy. Dude runs Will Smith out there time and time again. It's inexcusable at this point, and I believe we're winning in spite of the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
