Ok. I told you the ALCS was going to a Lone Star shootout. Now I'm about to hurt some of your feelings real bad. Go ahead, get the crying towels out again. Might as well change the nickname of your beloved Atlanta Braves to the Chokers.

You can blame Brian Snitker for his malpractice as a manager. Yeah Game 3 got out of hand and everyone is to blame, but what he did with the lineup for Game 1 is a fireable offense. Potentially going to cost us this series due to him trying to be the smartest man in the room. Who changes their lineup whenever they had been one of the most historic offenses of all-time?

I’ve been asking for him to be fired since we lost to the Cardinals in 2019. That team should have been in nothing worse than the NLCS but lost to a mediocre Cards team in the NLDS. 2020 had a 3-1 NLCS lead against the Dodgers and blew it. Miraculously won the World Series in 2021 but that was mainly due to all the trade deadline acquisitions. Even so, he started a kid in the World Series that had never started before and he got rocked. The team won in spite of Snitker’s decision making. 2022 he decided he was going to make Spencer Strider’s first postseason game in Philadelphia instead of Atlanta and he got rocked. 2023 he thought 2022 went so well that we will try that bright idea again and starts Bryce Elder in Philadelphia for his first career postseason game and he gets rocked. This guy has been given the keys to a Ferrari but doesn’t know how to drive it. It’s so frustrating to watch this team go down in flames every year because the manager keeps making little league mistakes.

Want him fired ...kind of drastic don't you think..I know I bitch about Dave Roberts but good heavens I wouldn't fire him even though I say it sometimes..everything you stated has happened but the Manager doesn't play the game the players do...as far as the Harper going nuts you can blame that on the Braves SS for rubbing the final play of game 2 in his face...unwritten rule never poke a sleeping bear...but Snitker is okay...

He has continuously placed his players, specifically rookies, in positions to fail in the postseason. Managers are suppose to put their players in the best position to succeed. Would you want your rookie pitchers making their postseason debut in the hardest environment to play in? Start them in front of your home fans to get their feet wet. Yeah he’s an idiot and doesn’t deserve to be coaching this talented group of individuals.

On October 12 in Baseball History...
Click to expand...
  • 1907- Three Finger Brown shuts down the Tigers, 2-0, to win the World Series. The Cubs steal four bases for a total of 18 in the five-game series (the Cubs won four games, the other ending in a tie).

  • 1913- John McGraw hosts a reunion for Hugh Jennings and the old Orioles. After a night of heavy drinking, he blames his longtime friend, business partner, and teammate Wilbert Robinson for too many coaching mistakes in the recently concluded World Series. They exchange insults and McGraw fires him. They won't speak to each other for 17 years. Six days later Robbie will begin a legendary 18-year career as Brooklyn manager, 1914 - 1931. The Philadelphia Athletics won the World Series in five games with a 4-1 victory over the New York Giants.

  • 1920- Cleveland's Stan Coveleski won his third game in the World Series as the Indians beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 3-0 and won the championship, five games to two.

  • 1929- The Philadelphia Athletics, trailing the Chicago Cubs 8-0 in the fourth game of the World Series, scored 10 runs in the seventh inning to win 10-8.

  • 1963- In the first (and last) Hispanic-American major league all-star game, the NL team beats the AL 5-2 at the Polo Grounds.

  • 1967- The Cardinals earn their second World Championship of the decade with a 7-2 victory over Boston. Bob Gibson notches his third World Series win with a three-hitter, 10 strikeouts, and a fifth-inning home run. Lou Brock records seven stolen bases in the Series.

  • 1969- New York's Jerry Koosman and Ron Taylor combine on a two-hitter in Game Two against Baltimore. Al Weis's ninth-inning single off loser Dave McNally gives the Mets a 2-1 win to even the World Series.

  • 1972- Oakland takes the AL pennant with a 2-1 win in Game Five of the ALCS over Baltimore. The A's Reggie Jackson steals home, but pulls a hamstring in the process, sidelining him for the World Series.

  • 1974- Oakland slugging star Reggie Jackson connects for a homer off Andy Messersmith, and pitcher Ken Holtzman scores the second run in the fifth inning on a suicide squeeze. The A's win the World Series opener 3-2 as the Dodgers strand 12 baserunners.

  • 1975- Down 2-1 in the ninth inning, the Reds rally to beat the Red Sox in Game Two of the World Series 3-2.

  • 1976- The Reds score seven times in the final three innings to secure a 7-6 win and complete a sweep of the Phillies in the NLCS.

  • 1977- The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees 6-1 to even the World Series after two games. Catfish Hunter, who had not pitched in over a month, started the game for the Yankees. Ron Cey, Steve Yeager and Reggie Smith all homered and knocked out Hunter in the third inning.

  • 1979- Kiko Garcia drives in four runs to lead the Orioles to an 8-4 triumph over Pittsburgh in Game Three of the World Series.

  • 1980- The Phillies capture their first NL title since 1950 with a 10-inning, 8-7 win over the Astros in the fifth and final game of the NLCS. Each of the last four games was decided in extra innings.

  • 1982- Paul Molitor of Milwaukee had five hits, a World Series record, in the 10-0 opener over the Cardinals in St. Louis. Mike Caldwell tossed the shutout for the Brewers.

  • 1984- San Diego pitchers tie a World Series record by issuing 11 walks in a 5-2 loss to the Tigers in Game Three. Detroit takes a 2-1 Series lead.

  • 1985- In Game Four of the ALCS, Al Oliver's two-run pinch double in the ninth inning gives Toronto a 3-1 win over Kansas City and a 3-1 lead in the series. Until this year's best-of-seven format was adopted, the three wins would have sent the Blue Jays to the World Series. The Royals will take advantage of the format change.

  • 1986- The California Angels were one pitch away from their first pennant when they let the Boston Red Sox back into the American League playoffs with an 11-inning 7-6 victory in Game 5.

  • 1987- Minnesota beats Detroit 9-5 in Game Five of the ALCS to wrap up its first AL championship since 1965. Twins third baseman Gary Gaetti is named MVP.

  • 1988- NLCS MVP Orel Hershiser shuts out the Mets to win Game Seven. The 6-0 win puts the Dodgers into the World Series for the first time since 1981.

  • 1990 - Danny Jackson, Norm Charlton, and Randy Myers combine on a one-hitter as Cincinnati beats the Pirates 2-1 to win the NLCS in six games.
  • 1991- The Blue Jays chase Twins starter Kevin Tapani for the second time in the ALCS, but Minnesota's bullpen and bats lead to six unanswered runs in Game Five as the Twins win their third pennant.

  • 1993 - The Toronto Blue Jays, behind the strong pitching of Dave Stewart, beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 to win the American League pennant in six games.
  • 1997- Marlins rookie Livan Hernandez matches Mike Mussina's one-day old LCS record with 15 strikeouts in a three-hit, 2-1 win in Game Five of the NLCS. Hernandez, who would not have started if not for an injury to Alex Fernandez, wins his second game of the series and will earn MVP honors.
