ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a two-year contract extension
with manager Brian Snitker, who guided the team to its first playoff berth
since 2013.

亞特蘭大勇士隊已經在幾天前同意與目前的總教練，也就是率領球隊在2013年之後
首次季後賽的Brian Snitker續簽兩年合約。

The deal includes a club option for 2021.

此合約也同時包含2021年勇士隊的球隊選擇權。

Snitker was appointed interim managed in May 2016 after the firing of Fredi
Gonzalez. He will be heading into his third full season as the club's manager
and 43rd as a member of the organization. He has compiled a 221-227 record.

Snitker在2016年五月，Fredi Gonzalez被開除後接任代理總教練職務。這份新合約
將會讓他的全職總教練邁向第三年，也是勇士隊史第43位執教時間達到這個標的的
人。他在勇士執教的成績為221勝227負。

After going 72-90 in 2017, the Braves improved to 90-72 this year and won
the NL East with some of baseball's best young talent, including Ronald
Acuna Jr., Ozzie Albies and Mike Foltynewicz.

在經歷去年72-90的黯淡成績後，勇士隊在今年把勝場數推進至90，同時藉由棒球界
評價最好的年輕新秀群–如外野手Ronald Acuna Jr.、二壘手Ozzie Albies與投手
Mike Foltynewicz，贏得了今年的國聯東區冠軍。

"He did a remarkable job," first baseman Freddie Freeman said of his manager.
"It's really hard to handle 25 to 35 personalities, and he's one of the best
at it."

勇士隊一壘手被記者問到隊總教練的感覺時指出︰「他(今年)的工作成就值得被稱讚
–畢竟要管理25到35位球員的確不是簡單的事，但(我覺得)他是最好的管理者之一。
」

The Braves lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Division Series.

A day after the season ended, Snitker said he felt good about the team's
future and looked forward to returning as manager.

勇士隊雖然在國聯分區賽輸給了洛杉磯道奇隊，但在幾天後的訪問時，Snitker說他
不僅對球隊的未來感到樂觀，並且也期望能回歸總教練的職務。

He turns 63 on Wednesday.

他的年齡將會在本周三邁入63歲。

心得︰恭喜Snitker獲得續約，也順道祝他生日快樂

話說球隊在史總生日之前給他續約，這應該也是他收到最好的生日禮物了吧，XD
