I’m curious how the community feels, just drop a few words as to why you feel how you do, and if you say replace, with who?

I have replace at end. I am no fan but as data continues to roll down hill to him. He might prove to be serviceable. Still makes errors. But they might be tolerable if guys like playing for him. We will have to see how he does as the long season plays out.

Over the course of the year I would keep calling meetings later and later until by the end of
the year he's ready to retire.

I would demote Ryan Flaherty to Gwinnett and tell Snit he gets to go coach him there, he'd be beside himself with joy.

I put replace at the end of the year, but I don't know many managers out there that'd do a far and away better job than he's done. I mean, most, if not all, managers handle their bullpens atrociously.

I excuse a lot of pen issues because relievers are like playing Russian roulette.
The only thing that really bothered me was Ramirez in Chicago... well the Chicago
game in general and Ramirez in general.
I've beem more confused by things like double switches removing Tucker from tied
ball games when the opponent had no LHP remaining and then ending up out of
position players and having Shane Carle have to bat with the game on the line... even
when he had a much better option in Julio...
but I am trying to let it go

The grade on Snit is still incomplete in my book
I would fire Chuck Hernandez at the end of the yr though
As for Snit -- he has not done a bad job with what he has had, keeps a positive clubhouse, good with the media and PR and for the early going, the results are better than expected. THis day in time it is important to have a people person as a MLB manager -- the days of Billy Martin and Dick Williams are over
He has a winning yr, how do you fire him and what do you replace him with? You really can do worse -- what do you want, Bobby Valentine or Ozzie Guillen -- guys that will stunt the growth of the young talent around here

I mean, most, if not all, managers handle their bullpens atrociously. Most managers look like they handle their bullpens atrociously because most of these relievers are not very good pitchers -- some are failed SP's and that is why they are in the pen. One idea I have is cut the game back to 7 innings so we can go back to the days of the complete games, and once again the W-L for the SP becomes relevant again. Like it used to be. And, you have fewer bleeping stinking relief pitchers who cannot throw the ball over the plate in the game -- we can see fewer mediocre to poor pitchers in the game And, there is a solution to time of game issues -- just something I thought about -- works for me I have to get up at 4am so that is bias on my part |

I voted to extend him -- he has lasted longer then some thought & has been through a lot
And, he will not give the FO any trouble -- as long as he has been around the traditional game, he is not closed to advanced analytics from the FO
Seems like a good guy to work with and that is important in today's PC culture -- MY WAY or the HWY is not how a MLB manager can operate this century

7 innings?
That is one of the most ridiculous things you've ever said... and it's no easy feat
to get to the top of that list.

Its a 2 way street -- if the game is too long it is not attracting the younger millennial generation -- the time of play issue is something that does need to be addressed -- and you are never going to limit pitching changes, managerial moves, etc. A 7 inning game is like a 9 inning game a generation ago. I do think there are too many relief pitchers in the game and watching the relief pitcher (except a star closer) does not really do it for me -- I like the jockeying with strategic moves on PH and player moves, but I want to see a Strasburg or Kershaw on the mound and involved in the decision, not some specialist RP -- just how I see it Then again, I came up in the era of the complete game so guess I see the game differently than some younger fans of Gen Y and millennials |

I am tired of so many poor relief pitchers on MLB rosters You want pitch counts and all that stuff then you adjust the game to the era you play in And time of play issues, hey I am open to a 7 or 8 inning game -- the time of the game is an issue so its something I see that makes sense Nothing is set in stone -- and I doubt anyone would take shortening the game seriously but I see it as a good idea worth thinking about |

Shorten the game if you must by pitch clocks etc...
Changing the number of innings is an idea that shouldn't
be given a millisecond of actual thought.
Personally I wonder how much people who want to shorten
the game actually love the game.
You want to talk about this era you came up in where pitchers
threw complete games and whatever... and you then say you
want to fundementally change the game to such an extreme?
