SAN FRANCISCO -- There are two things Braves manager Brian Snitker has learned to count on this season.
One is that his team is a combination of resilience, unpredictability and fortitude. The other is that he'll get a text from former Atlanta manager Bobby Cox after the game underscoring just how much the Hall of Fame skipper likes what he sees in this team.
Cox, who last managed the team in 2010, is still an Eastern time zone guy, but he's willing to put in the late hours to watch the Braves as Atlanta tries to close out what would be the club's first National League East title since 2013.
