NEW YORK -- Brian Snitker never expected to be managing in the Major Leagues this year. When he took over the Braves in May after Fredi Gonzalez was dismissed, Snitker did so as a loyal employee of the only organization he has worked for.
Now, with the days winding down on a Braves season that is finishing much better than it began, Snitker said on Wednesday that he hopes to get a chance to continue in the job.
Snitker knows there are no guarantees. His title remains interim manager, and the Braves have made no commitments beyond the final game of the season, on Oct.
