Braves fans slam manager Brian Snitker after losing series opener vs Dodgers: "He belongs managing in the Triple A"

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker has been under fire from fans after a bullpen error cost them the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves took an early lead on Monday's series opener against the Dodgers but they ultimately lost the game 8-6 after Snitker's bullpen management backfired on the team. Fans were infuriated with the veteran manager and took to social media to voice their anger. Brian Snitker is a veteran manager who has been involved in the MLB since 1985, first as a coach and now as a manager. He was appointed as the Atlanta Braves manager in 2016, replacing Fredi González, who was fired. He has been held in high regard in the last couple of years after the Braves' exceptional performances in 2021 which brought home the World Series title. This season, however, fans have not been happy with the manager after a few costly errors early in the season. The Atlanta Braves made a great start to the 2023 MLB season, climbing to the top of the NL East table early and maintaining distance from the rest of the pack. However, they have had a few bad results in the past couple of weeks and all fingers point towards manager Brian Snitker. In their latest defeat against the Dodgers, Snitker decided to throw in struggling pitcher A.J. Minter in the sixth innings, who gave away three hits in which the Dodgers increased their lead by 2 runs and ultimately took the game away from the Braves.
