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." 55e4925cdaf0c0448b5f4a4f4d6e459c IMG 1378 Scaled 6be59b2646d6b7a520d0ce20b0d937a6 20150128 366 00032 A9d77719b3f83226cfa436b8559b0afa 23c4fb2a1f1fd534b0027efd1617e850 8ac3a0de015ae3f2c83d9df4289cdd26 74006858e5fec6219be0fd90aa980574 B297c985300933.5d77cbdb0e0b7 D24dca33df4a825c5499566ec433f10d 1526041707da1d1c25ec6104cd5e21bb Fee9f0 A802e6e4624b4e65864ef48175ff8759~mv2 DSC02681 1913b486fc7847a25deac20e1a6d513a 8f545a56309997a68139e038a9859d68 2e18b4de184baa8661716c1277991db3 Untitled 888 1024x724 6dbfab125108617.Y3JvcCw4MDgsNjMyLDAsMA 29929ce99ea706a37b867e973d2accd5 99ce90125108617.61126c3b16a1f IMG 0360 2048x2048 ?v=1591710658 Untitled Design 68 Rebuild 21 500x ?v=1613545607 420574c01fa283d99771cb22a299794c 3d6de6c78b4f6f26476ee17bda098a3b ?nii=t Screen Shot 2020 12 03 At 11.45.34 Am 1000x ?v=1606956361 IMG 1116KSTUARTJONES ?fit=1936%2C1288&ssl=1 MAD1 300x214 538968144978291.62962cf2c31b9 Capture Website Pic Dce9344b E54c 459a 807d A2fa9773e48a 400x ?v=1613516558 About 01
