The Athletic reported today that Anthopolous has given permission for Snitker's coaching staff to go look for another job while not starting their search themselves yet. Seems like Kranitz, Weiss, and maybe Hyers are all gone.
Let's hire Jake for Manager.
Need someone who has zero ties to the Braves organization. Someone who doesn't know the so-called " Braves way ". With the exception of Ross maybe.
WHY, do you want someone with experience? If they played any amount of time in the big leagues they should know how to fill out a lineup card.
We just need to get Rossi or Chip or Jones
David Ross.
otis nixon 😮
Go Braves !
How about Ryan Flaherty? He's the bench coach for the Cubs. Former Brave.
We don’t need an old guy we need a young guy
We need somebody young
What about Jeff Francour?
What up Michael Young
Charlie Colbertson would be good
What about the guy from Minnesota?
Bruce Botchy
Much more interesting podcast than the Dansby Swanson rehash! This episode is relevant to today!
A new manager and keeping Kranny while getting Wash and EY back to 1st & 3rd base coaches? Chipper as hitting coach would be awesome.
Why is Lindsay doing your advertisements for you Jake?
For me, a Sneaky Good candidate is Yadier Molina. He worked wonders with pitchers so he can give them tips and insights, plus his overall baseball IQ and awareness is top notch. Plus, he is a fiery guy. Get me Yadi!!
