Mark Bowman @mlbbowman · 4h Putting two good RHHs behind Olson makes sense if managing for that one moment when Alvarado enters. But they got that moment and it didn’t work because Ozuna’s liner went right to Turner. You have one of the best offenses ever. If it’s not broke, don’t touch it. It’s funny that once Ozuna got going Olson did just fine, to put it mildly, with one right handed bat behind him and Rosario hitting sixth the majority of the season. So why did he need two good right handed bats hitting behind him just specially for last night? That’s horse poop, dumbassery on the part of the managering guy.

The deeper thought on that is you could put two of the best right handed hitters in baseball history behind Olson and it’s not going to make it any easier for him to hit Alvarado. He’s nasty when he’s not walking people, and he hasn’t been. Without looking it up it’s a safe bet he’s been nasty against right handed batters too. So stick with what’s been working ya moron and take your chances that way. Ding dong.

The only person Snitker is smart enough to outsmart is Snitker, and he does that with great regularity.

If anyone wonders; I don't actually blame Snit for the Braves being shut-out. If anything that blame would probably go mostly on that stupid best record penalizing 5 day layoff (which is a longer layoff than the AS break and the Braves played like crap coming off of that).
What pisses me off about it is that everyone knows the 5 day off thing is a problem, and what Snit did instead of keeping all other routines the same as best he could to mitigate the issue; he chose to take a path to make things even more out of the ordinary and break the routines even more.
Was that the cause of the bats being cold? Well it probably didn't help and to me it indicates a manager just being out of touch, and one who wants to address an issue that doesn't even exist. He did something he would have never done in the regular season for no discernible reason that makes actual sense: An action that had no real possible upside but a lot of possible issues in the other direction.
High risk... low return... when the best gamble by far was leaving things alone.

GAPOZ kills lefties and he's aggressive. What if he gets a shot at Suarez in the first before he settles in? Maybe he runs into one and EVERYTHING changes. We'll never know because our manager is a certifiable dumbass. What I do know is that I wanna see that matchup if I'm the manager.
