He miscommunicates with his player; hence, if he is not fired, I will leave the Atlanta Braves head coach.

The way manager Fredi Gonzalez apparently learned he was dismissed may have set a new record for discomfort for the Atlanta Braves.

Gonzalez learned he was probably heading out on Monday, according to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when the team scheduled him for a return trip to Atlanta, even though the Braves‘ current road series against the Pittsburgh Pirates doesn’t conclude until Thursday.

Gonzalez is not entirely to blame for Atlanta’s MLB-worst 9-28 start. To prepare for the future, the front staff has dealt away nearly all of the team’s best players.

Gonzalez, though, partially excavated his own tomb. At least since 2012, when Jason Roberts of FanGraphs questioned his management of the opening lineup and bullpen, there have been doubts about his tactical acumen. Gonzalez also didn’t get the most out of the Braves clubs, who were supposed to be title contenders in 2011 and 2013.

If Atlanta wishes to choose a manager who is more of a long-term choice to help the squad progress in the upcoming years, that is not wrong. It doesn’t speak well of the Braves’ front office authorities, though, to basically inform Gonzalez that he was sacked by rearranging his trip plan.

Gonzalez will be temporarily replaced, the organization announced on Tuesday, by Brian Snitker, who was overseeing the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves.
