If he wasn’t hired in time and it was lacava pulling the strings then the credit goes to lacava for happ and storen.

Atkins made moves after he was hired for 2016.
Granted he made a string of really bad decisions after 2016 leading up to the playoffs, he made moves that were justifiable (Upton, Navarro, etc).
So it’s obvious to everyone that I’m not the one constantly bringing up AA and Atkins early missteps right? Lmao can’t believe we’re still on this subject.
To be fair, this thread is specifically about determining who is better between Atkins and prior GMs.
Not to mention, we are replying to your most recent post about Atkins' moves in 2016.
Fwiw a lotta Braves fans calling for AA’s head today. Failed to make a move at the deadline to address the pitching needs. They feel he’s sitting on prospects too much. Exactly the opposite of what he did here. To be fair, their window is still wide open and you don’t fire the GM after losing in game 7 of the CS when you’re still clearly trending upward. It seems that they give home no credit for the current construction of the team. Most of the core was drafted, signed or traded for by previous regime.
Yes. You and Reed. It’s like 50/50.Quote:

Their hitting wasn't very good though. They got 4 runs the last 2 games. They were 3 for 22 with RISP the last 2 games. That can't happen. Acuna and D'arnaud shat the bed as the 1st and 4th hitter.
I agree. They should be looking to sure up the lineup imo. Darnaud (even when hes hot) shouldn’t be your#4 bitter. A hot darnaud should be extending your lineup, not cleaning it upQuote:

I think the big thing was not replacing Soroka when he went down. But like I said, firing him would be the wrong move. He’s got something up his sleeve I’m sure.Quote:
