Braves' 8-time All-Star legend, World Series Champion behind Michael Harris' hitting resurgence originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Atlanta Braves are having a surprisingly poor season—one that quite literally no one saw coming. Playoff expectations were sky-high at the beginning of the year, but their 0–7 start should have been an early warning sign. With continued poor performance and manager Brian Snitker’s contract nearing its end, it's increasingly likely he won’t be re-signed.
“Because of that consistent recent success, Snit would normally be afforded a ‘mulligan’ year—even though going from the second-best preseason World Series odds to possibly the third-best odds of winning the draft lottery is a pretty serious mulligan,” Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller wrote.
