Braves fans endured one of their more heartbreaking losses Thursday, when the team allowed seven runs in the ninth inning of an 11-10 loss to the Diamondbacks at Truist Park.

The team left soon after for a three-game series in San Francisco.

If you were the Braves’ general manager, would you hold Brian Snitker accountable and fire him, maybe even before the team plays the Giants?

Vote below, and tell us what you think.
