Braves manager Brian Snitker chewed out an umpire after he got ejected

Braves manager Brian Snitker got absolutely HEATED on this umpire.

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker absolutely let an umpire have it after Braves third baseman Austin Riley got hit by a pitch in the fourth inning of Atlanta’s Saturday evening tilt with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

After the hit, Snitker left the dugout to have a heated conversation with the ump and got ejected for the gesture. Even after that, Snitker stayed out on the baseball diamond to yell at the umpire for what went down with Riley.

Snitker isn’t necessarily known for his temper, but he absolutely chewed out the umpire for Riley being pegged by the pitcher.

You can bet this umpire won’t ever forget this blistering response from Snitker, even if the latter got ejected.

If you’re a Brave fan, you’re probably ready to run through a wall for Snitker right now.

This is the kind of backing that fans want from their managers for their players, and Snitker will likely be hailed as a hero in the Braves locker room for standing up for his guy.

Kenley Jansen blew another save to ruin an epic Braves comeback and Brian Snitker still defended him

It doesn’t make sense.

It was easy to miss amid all the Week 1 NFL action, but the Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners played one of the wilder games of the MLB season on Sunday.

With the Braves trailing by four runs and down to their final strike, Atlanta had a five-run, two-out rally to astonishingly take the lead on the Mariners in the ninth. They just needed closer Kenley Jansen to pitch a clean bottom half to leave Seattle with an improbable series win.

Jansen would give Atlanta anything but that.

After getting the first out in the ninth, Jansen gave up a pair of home runs — one to Julio Rodriguez and a walk-off shot to Eugenio Suarez — as the Mariners escaped with an 8-7 win.

Now, the Braves acquired Kenley Jansen in the offseason because they believed that the longtime Dodgers closer had the ability to take Atlanta’s bullpen to the next level. They demoted Will Smith to a set-up role before trading him at the deadline, but as Jansen started to struggle, the acquisition of Raisel Iglesias seemed to signal uncertainty about Jansen.

You just wouldn’t pick up on that notion by hearing what manager Brian Snitker had to say after the game.

When asked about Jansen’s latest blown save, Snitker defended his closer and pointed out that Jansen leads the league in saves. And sure, Jansen does lead the league in saves — he’s also second in blown saves.

But just like pitcher win-loss record, that stat can be deceptive as Jansen has still allowed runs in seven of those saves. The fact is that in Jansen’s past seven appearances, he has an 11.12 ERA with three homers and seven earned runs allowed. He’s blown three saves in that span and appears to be getting worse with each appearance.

In a pennant race with the now-NL East-leading New York Mets, a dependable closer is key. So while Snitker wasn’t going to throw Jansen under the bus to the media, Braves fans were still frustrated with the latest defense of Jansen.

Mánager de los Braves se entera por los reporteros del cambio de Matt Olson y se queda mudo

El mánager de los Braves Brian Snitker sabía que existía la posibilidad de que Freddie Freeman se fuera de Atlanta. Después de todo, Freeman era un agente libre y así es como funciona. Pero probablemente no esperaba que los Braves iniciaran el movimiento que prepararía el camino para la partida de Freeman.

Nosotros fuimos testigos de su sorpresa este lunes.

Los Braves y los Oakland Athletics llegaron a un acuerdo para una transferencia espectacular que envió al primera base y jugador del All-Star, Matt Olson, para Atlanta por una oferta que incluía a jugadores con grandes expectativas como Cristian Pache y Shea Langeliers. El cambio ciertamente significó que Freeman se iría a firmar a otro lado, pero qué mal momento para que Snitker escuchara las noticias.

Traducción: ÚLTIMO MOMENTO: Atlanta y Oakland acuerdan un cambio que mandará al primera base Matt Olson a los Braves, según informaron fuentes familiares con el acuerdo a ESPN.
Traducción 2: Oakland recibirá al OF Cristian Pache, C Shea Langeliers, SP Ryan Cusick y al SP Joey Estes, informaron las fuentes a ESPN. Un gran recorrido para Matt Olson, el nuevo primera base de los Braves.

 

El mánager de los Braves se enteró del cambio mientras hablaba con reporteros, quienes le leyeron el tuit de Jeff Passan en tiempo real.

Aquí les dejamos el video:

Traducción: El mánager de los Braves, Brian Snitker, estaba con los medios cuando salió la noticia de que el equipo había transferido al 1B Matt…
Aquí está su reacción y lo que Freddie Freeman significa para él.

 

En realidad no pueden culparlo por haberse quedado sin habla. Es decir, es un cambio inmenso y no hubo tiempo para que lo reflexionara. En ese momento ni siquiera sabía a quiénes habían cedido los Braves, no es de sorprenderse que fuera incapaz de darles una respuesta.

Pero al menos sí supo que el cambio quería decir que Freeman se iba, eso quedó muy claro por su reacción.

Poco después de escuchar la noticia del cambio, Olson también habló con los reporteros.

Traducción: Matt Olson acaba de hablar con los reporteros sobre el cambio en Mesa:

 

El primera base de 27 años creció en Atlanta.

Braves manager Brian Snitker was speechless when reporters told him about the Matt Olson trade

He knew it meant Freddie Freeman was gone.

Braves manager Brian Snitker knew that there was a possibility that Freddie Freeman would leave Atlanta. After all, Freeman was a free agent. That’s how it works. But he probably didn’t expect for the Braves to make a move that paved way for Freeman’s departure.

We could see that surprise on Monday.

The Braves and Oakland Athletics agreed on a blockbuster trade that sent All-Star first baseman Matt Olson to Atlanta for a package of top prospects like Cristian Pache and Shea Langeliers. The trade almost certainly meant that Freeman was going to sign elsewhere, but what a time for Snitker to hear about the news.

The Braves manager found out about the trade while he was speaking with reporters who read off Jeff Passan’s tweet in realtime.

Phillies Alec Bohm was called safe at home on controversial game-winning play, and Braves fans were not happy

Safe by a toe… or not.

It’s been some time since baseball had a major blown call controversy, but Sunday night’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves delivered. This time, it’s Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm at the center of controversy on a sacrifice fly ball that gave Philadelphia the 7-6 lead and the win.

With one out remaining in the top of the ninth, and Bohm on third, Didi Gregorius hit a short ball out to Marcell Ozuna in left field. As the ball was caught, Bohm tagged from third as Ozuna threw back home to catcher Travis d’Arnaud, causing a bang-bang play to happen at home plate, wherein Bohm was called safe.

After a lengthy review, and various angles shown, the umpires ruled Bohm safe at home, causing uproar from the fans at Truist Park and across social media.

While Bohm clearly beats out d’Arnaud’s tag, it is pretty plain to see that he doesn’t touch home plate on any of the various angles shown.

And yet! The call was made and the Phillies took the 7-6 lead, and the win. Braves manager Brian Snitker was clearly not pleased at the events that unfolded in the game-deciding play.

Social media was just as brutal, and even the Braves own Twitter account got in on the heat.

Phillies manager Joe Girardi, of course, took the viewpoint that Bohm’s toe was able to tap home plate, while Braves pitcher Drew Smyly was adamant that the third baseman was out at home.

In all likelihood, had Bohm been originally called out on the play and it had gone to review, he would have been out and the inning would have been over. In the end, however, the umpires made their decision and the baseball world was not happy about it.
