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." 2670101 Ozark027A9064 1 2000 E44c776e30cc4f0a9d306e64140443ed 2 8 Fb3d1cf9b47a3c057a906c4b19d3d1ac ErnsstSkullBluffCanoe Scaled Maxresdefault ?sqp= OaymwEmCIAKENAF8quKqQMa8AEB AH CYAC0AWKAgwIABABGFkgZSg4MA8=&rs=AOn4CLCEYaf4QmCyy XTQjFNj6sg4cIeFg Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Buffalo NR Canoe CJRW 2018 06 KSJ 8694ps2 Buffalo River Arkansas ?crop=0%2C420%2C3600%2C1980&wid=4000&hei=2200&scl=0.9 5816034153 321e5edac7 Z BROarticle1 0 ?itok=QDwqOwyJ 1663639902873 206023213 Canoe Trip T600 ?4326734cdb8e39baa3579048ef63ad7b451e7676 Maxresdefault Canoe On The Buffalo River Arkansas 1405653 Maxresdefault Hqdefault Bb0310ef326443ba18b79bd927dca3e5 B445d5bd3511564d8b090a44b0850a26 Maxresdefault Maxresdefault 220b49ccbcfd71de4af21f336dc1e7a8 19323071530 5f39313bdd B Canoists Enjoy A Spring Day On The Buffalo National River In The Ozarks B09J04 Upper Buffalo River Float By Jeff Rose Canoe On A River ?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=EZBJeORgxH8azo0ug1Hl Ht9 6iC CfxQRHBJ92VwjY= 18850024018 39c56c2289 B Buffalo River Canoes ?w=1200&h= 1&s=1 2bac9ebb2bccb5f588ee6fb7a4d5790a 7b7190043f8e0abeeeb194c33f87a4e8 The Buffalo Canoeing Maxresdefault
