Whew!!

"Advisory position"?

I hope his advising has nothing to do with on-field play in any way.

Now can we do something about the "Braves get rid of a player that comes to life with their new team" syndrome??

Thanks for the World Series ring.

Now - don't leave this guy alone in a room with a Cuisinart, and don't let him start musing about wanting to run for President or public office.

Snitker has been with the organization for 49 years as a minor league player and manager and major league coach and manager.

He led Atlanta to 811 wins, six NL East division titles, one wild-card berth and the 2021 World Series championship in his 10 seasons as manager.

in an era where loyalty is not valued, I value his loyalty. I like Snit and have defended him on here many times. I'm very glad he realized it was time to let go.

Swanson is off to a good start in the postseason with a few great defensive plays last night.

Yeah unfortunately this has been the Braves “modus operandi” since i first attended a game in 1968. They also have played the “take the wild swing at washed up has been” game well throughout history.

Don't miss Swanson at all.

He's a sub .250 hitter that K's 160+ times a year with an OPS barely above .700

Fried and Freeman we messed the bed with.

Yep, this was expected as I mentioned months ago. It was definitely time.
