It's official now. Also hired Ron Washington as 3rd base coach. Chuck Hernandez is now the pitching coach.

Larry Wayne Jones Jr has made it clear he wants to be in the front office. Not in the dug out.

Snit was the guy.

This is a solid staff of coaches. Hernandez has done a phenomenal job in the minors with the young arms.

Chipper likes life too much after baseball to be full time back in it.

Underwhelming but whatever


How in the frick is this an underwhelming hire?

He took over a team that was completely dead, nothing to play for and had them playing like they were in a god damned pennant race. Freddie Freeman said everyone in that clubhouse would run through a wall for him. What more do you want?

The answer should be nothing. Snit was the only option. Everyone loves him. And Larry Wayne Jones Jr would have been a smoke screen to get butts in the seats. I am going next year to support Snit and the club. Larry Wayne Jones Jr will be at Spring training then head to Texas like he does every year and like we need him to do. Stay involved but let the FO run things.

Maybe I just wasn't paying attention but I don't ever remember his name being brought up in any capacity for this job

Snitker is also on a one year deal. If things don't go well next year we can turn around and start a search again. Snitker gets his chance next year to prove if he deserves the job. This was a great move by the front office.

Fighting town is a good time. So is the Brewery but they need more TVs.

Cucina Rustica is pretty darn good considering its in Blue Ridge.

Almost seems like Washington may have been brought in as a contingency plan.
