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." 20a568d624c1c14d453723afb8244ca8 Enjoy 2048x1152 F0ae14fbf4a7f8008d8f4c6a21d2ef17 3c3b3ab2d64259544b67bc7e0e0999be No Matter How Long The Wait Gods Timing Is Always Best. 224ebe200923d4c1389bcaf79a80eb68 77289aac3f519c2d28837d808f59694a 2fb823eb0d282d4b29d71d937859d2be 891511e8bcdb8278ca0c8c8e8595e123 39970d8ffc1d5bf6bc6029c8f174216e A25a09f4bbaef9e3f97570e21a9d3298 9c0c2a1bfba2a8dd202d2bb8ea0027ed 7c0291e42cbf409b9c872384ce0d7f3c 91c6c248e6d8d6cce8a1a2399b4072ba 3f7be02f5eea91f23106d3cf8f7a0fe7 D2f602f884b24967e2ae1e4c90d4cf09 6ccbd5dd30c04c1105f31541e3974587 Make 2023 Your Year Quotes Happy Valentines Day Paragraphs For Him Bea9cc9e38edbcca173f4afb6f43d0ed Valentines Gift Basket Ideas 6a546a491af3fc5de148b1ebfdb08607 Inspirational New Year Quotes 19260 Imam Ali Quote Two Things Define You Your Patience When You Have 59df25477060b1ad415f3577685d1ea4 6adb80e1c280edc883be492dccc987f9 Inspirational Birthday Quotes Scaled Ba2380fc96d00d22954d2eacc2e1a437 F854eca1f8363a4dfa52dce9d6797cdf Mlk Inspirational Quote 3e0bd38039e9dba2053306b200a848e9 Fd4834b6340324653a9e7d425d3f6d4f Best Inspirational Quote
