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." 13fde3c892b303e548fe25b85727807c Seine River Lunch Cruises River Seine JO2024 Sur La Seine 1200x700 GettyImages 1613150319 2bfbdef 1653398583190 Pns 3850638 Paris 2024 Ceremonie 1 1535635 Image De Synthese De La Seine Durant Les Jo 2024 A Paris 3271431 Capture Decran 2021 12 14 A 14.27.20 61b8a663ab2d3 0 Maxresdefault 64d3344e17089 Seine Seine Scaled River Seine May 2023 Paris 649 Seine 2024 Slider 0223 Croisieurope Alexandre Sattler JO De Paris 2024 La Ceremonie D Ouverture Se Deroulera Sur La Seine 644657766e904 Jo2024 AA18AO2w.img?w=2048&h=1152&m=4&q=68 Ccb89576941e4fe3bf5698f69e7e33159a0e780c 1d8c675 1680515668384 000 Dv741008 C5db970cc12bd471217a16894d8390f25c58cd9a Format,jpeg La Seine Autour Des Jeux Olympiques Et Paralympiques 64458bd599486 Jo Paris 2024 Comment Va T On Rendre La Seine Baignable Pour Les Jeux Et Apres 1580229 Format,jpeg AO3SOKTC5REFLMCTBWKZUD527E 2113571 44228630 2560 1440 449f9f3935a40538e238eb7e65c34d69 3QZNDWIVVBAOHDRBZRVRY5LSXU Paris G83ba4424a 1920 1024x768 Seine Paris 2024 5798065 33rr48z Highres 1692528132
