The sharply hit foul ball took one hop and reached Snitker so quickly in the fifth inning he didn't have time to defend himself. But even in the moment, the 68-year-old manager smiled instead of showing any hint of pain. And, to answer the obvious question, Snitker doesn't wear a protective cup. "Without protection? Yeah, I know," Snitker said, adding he had received multiple text messages about the incident and how he smiled instead of bending over in pain. "Well, it hit me right below the belt," he said. "... OK, a little high." Snitker said he wasn't sore when he woke up Thursday but acknowledged he "tensed up" and felt some discomfort during the game. He was able to smile because the ball barely missed hitting him in a more sensitive area. Snitker said he intentionally avoided TV Thursday morning "because I said I'm not going to watch this thing." Snitker's son, Troy, who's on the Houston Astros' coaching staff, made sure the replay made it to his father. "My son sent me a video of it," Snitker said before Thursday night's game against the Giants. Albies' at-bat ended with a fly ball to center field. The Braves second baseman immediately walked up to Snitker when returning to the dugout. "He felt worse than me," Snitker said. "He's such a good kid." Snitker was a longtime third-base coach before becoming Atlanta's manager in 2016 and leading the Braves to six consecutive NL East championships and the 2021 World Series title. The third-base coaching box can also be a dangerous place, and Snitker said he suffered a broken wrist and other injuries when hit by foul balls there. Snitker said he had another reason to smile immediately after avoiding injury on Wednesday night. Braves first baseman Matt Olson told Snitker he likely would have been hit by the foul ball if Snitker, standing on the dugout steps, had not been in the way. "So I said, 'Well, I'm a hell of a lot easier to replace than he is,'" Snitker said. "So I'm glad it hit me." 8a895f329401b894bd5f163eae88faa5 9 Funny Spring Meme Df476436405f4ac23c8f1a314bb501f9 Daylight Savings Memes 16 E966e83e86a92eef6a7604eff7f4c70f 9eef65ede15214edf5d22d6fba01a3b9 2a7ca529c9a5ddc992efa76eb3e31884 9fb17f13ae32d54f1692332a337a0ee6 Spring Ahead Comics Share Funny Spring Meme Spring Water Spring Joke ?fit=700,1024 Happy First Day Of Spring Meme Dog 1468555036 13f2b9119a0905f005a430fc31b6301f Laugh Out Loud Jokes 2024 Day To Day Calendar 9781524879891 Hr 1st Day Of Spring 2023 Meme Daylight Savings Memes 22 768x980 0a358968168ca50e56e215a42d47e988 Spring Jokes Puns Featured 1024x1024 2hkqgunic82wksr03qjnjbo1je5rqriw Tony Stark Spring Forward Meme Fall Back .webp Nf 1 1704011979462 Fd11839d 16e6 48c4 Bb76 3ae879229384 Spring Season Funny Memes 784x441 3b329ec53b8e12f326d8cb8bcd3c1c4c Daylight%2B1 B9d715df0ed3c689ef3fe5b6cd206c32 9781454949596 P5 V6 S600x595 605799992 8bcf1d3c462b8ac87c519cf54e9aa80b Spring Fast Enough 650x853 653f880196b68a077a37b3491139bb91 Ygjji1ganvu1vh31uaj73akq2yjht4m3 Happy First Day Of Spring Meme Star Wars Daylight Savings Time Meme Thingology 970x1242 First Day Of Spring Equinox Meme 480x480
