Brian Snitker has calmed the waters, which was kind of the idea. Having been 9-28 under Fredi Gonzalez, the Braves are 3-3 under Snitker. If not quite good, it’s definitely better.
More to the point, the simmering-since-Week-2 issue of managerial status has been tabled until October. Snitker will see out the final season at Turner Field. It would be nigh-impossible for the Braves to play any worse under the new man than they had over the first 37 games. But how much better might they be?
Baseball Prospectus has them finishing 62-100; FanGraphs projects 60-102.
