David O'Brien @dobrienatl · 2m #Braves blow 4-0 lead in the 9th inning and lose 5-4 to Marlins, who avoid a four-game sweep by rocking A.J. Minter for 5 hits in the 9th. Minter charged with all 5 runs, the last 2 scoring on a hit off Chavez. Brutal end to the homestand before Braves head to NYC to face Mets.

Seems like I've mentioned a few times you can't let a guy rot on the bench for an entire month and then expect him to come up with a game on the line and get on base. I'd like to see how the best hitters in the game would do if they got 8 ABs in a month. I recall one time the Braves had on off day and then a rainout and Freddie Freeman said he hated that because it's hard to keep his swing grooved in that kind of situation. lol....

Sarge is a dummy. He proved that again today. He's just been blessed with good teams.

Sarge is a dummy. He proved that again today. He's just been blessed with good teams. I've mentioned this a few times before too....if the Braves ever thought Snitker was big league manager material they wouldn't have left him lingering in the minor leagues for 150 years like they did. He just got lucky, in the right place at the right time, because the organization wanted to reward him for his loyalty and made him the third base coach. I was fine with that. Then he got super lucky when he was named interim and the team played well and the players loved him. That was the worst thing that could have happened. Now the average fan and all the media everywhere act like Snitker is one of the best managers ever, so AA has a dilemma. He would be raked over the coals if he fired Snitker, but Snitker obviously isn't fit to manage a little league team. So here we are, hoping every day our guys can outplay his moronic decisions. I'd love to see what this team could do with a real manager.
There's so many stupid things he's done. I am not an Ehire Adrianza fan, he's not a major league level player. He has a career .660 OPS and is less than average defensive player. But Snit for brains fell in love with him during one spring training. Then he doubled down by letting him rust on the bench the last 80 or so games he's played for us...then sends him up to the plate with a game on the line. Like I said I'm not a fan, but if he's on your roster you have find a way to get him enough regular ABs that he has some kind of feel when he goes up to the plate. Snitker fell in love with him now he has to stand behind that and give the guy a chance. But the next time we're up 12-0 in the 7th inning, all the regulars will stay in the game and Adrianza won't get an AB. I just don't get it.

It's not hindsight when you call it the moment it happens. It was a terrible decision to bring Minter in to that day game after a high leverage night game the day before... with no break before the Mutts series.... against a bevy of right handed batters.
Then after making that mistake, we stood there watching Minter throw every single pitch outside as the Marlins were obviously looking for that and hammering the ball mostly the opposite way.... and continued to leave him out there until they had the tying and go ahead runs on 2nd and 3rd. The call at that point was to use Chavez, no if, ands, or buts about it.
I don't excuse Minter at all, but...
From choosing Minter... to leaving him out there... to probably signaling every pitch to be thrown outside, it was a complete mental meltdown by the manager... more egregious than normal.
I'm going to attribute it to the rain delay pushing the game into what is normally Snitker's pudding and nap time.
