I'll take it but ... Viscaiano makes me VERY nervous !
One managerial observation, I think it was the 6th inning ... we are in a pitching duel in a 1-0 game and my leadoff batter hits a triple.
The next batter up is the top of the order and my fastest runner on the team ...
IMO, 1 run is like 10 runs at this point in the game and I manufacture a run with a squeeze play and not try for the big inning.
And, in addition my team has not been hitting well over the last couple of games and we are trying to end a 3-game losing streak.
I know Snitker is a players manager which (I think) is good, but I'm still on the fence with this guy ???

I like this team however i'm not sold on Snitker. I would love to have former Yankees manager Joe Girardi manage the Braves.
