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

Brian Snitker Braves Brave Austin Riley Bobby Cox

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.

MLB fans (especially the Braves contingent) loved seeing Snitker get so flustered.
