I too am a suffering Braves fan...but more of a backseat fan over the last 3 to 4 years, I don't watch much.
I always really liked Bobby...but not in the Play-Offs. He is a great regular season manager. I think too many guys "Manage" too much, micro-manage in a sense. But in the POs everything changes...which is what I hate about baseball...you have to manage much more.
I do think 3 or 4 years he really tried to manage more and the Braves had there better finishes. Similarly I thought his best asset was that he had good players he just let play. Now without 5 or 6 All-Stars you also have to manage more...Bobby (IMO) just doesn't do that.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
