Braves manager Brian Snitker was ejected from Wednesday’s game against the Cubs after arguing with home plate umpire Shane Livensparger over a missed call on what was ruled a passed ball.
It seems Snitker may have been onto something.
On the play, a pitch from Darius Vines appeared to get past catcher Sean Murphy. On the passed ball, Cody Bellinger scored from third base while Seiya Suzuki advanced to second.
While the play was not able to be reviewed, replay footage clearly showed the ball hitting off the bat of Jeimer Candelario before getting behind Murphy.

Aaron Rodgers was very impressed with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s performance on Monday night since he played while dealing with a calf injury.
Rodgers even reached out and texted Burrow to give him credit for playing on the injury since the four-time NFL MVP dealt with a calf injury before.
But, apparently their communication wasn’t just limited to Rodgers praising Burrow. The Bengals star turned the conversation around and asked the Jets quarterback for any advice he could give him because of his experience with similar injuries.
Spencer Strider has become one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball for the Atlanta Braves.
After bursting onto the scene in 2022, he’s continued to be nearly unhittable in 2023, striking out 274 hitters in 181 innings. Despite a higher ERA, his underlying metrics have been exceptional, leading to a 5.4 WAR season.
But if a recent interview with him is to be believed, he may have been even better. How? If Major League Baseball removed fans from stadiums like in 2020.
Strider spoke to Instagram account MLB Fits, and was asked for his “hot sports takes.
Wednesday night’s win over the Reds was the Guardians’ final home game of the season. As such, it was the last time Terry Francona will manage the team at Progressive Field in front of the home crowd.
After picking up a win in his final home game as the skipper, Francona received a standing ovation on the field from fans in Cleveland. The postgame celebrations were elongated when star third baseman José Ramírez blocked the entrance to the dugout and forced the 64-year-old to soak in the moment a while longer.
Francona could be seen taking his hat off and waving toward the crowd.

A Phillies fan and his pet alligator were denied access into Wednesday night’s game at Citizens Bank Park.
Yes, you read that right.
The local Philadelphia fan attempted to get into the game as the alligator was deemed his “service animal.” Fox 29’s Howard Eskin posted a picture of the alligator on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing the animal with a harness and leash on and captioning the photo “Things I’ve never seen.”

Phone… wallet… keys… emotional support alligator.

Tigers legend Miguel Cabrera is playing his final games at Comerica Park during the team’s ongoing homestand ahead of the end of the 2023 season, at which point the 21-year veteran plans to retire from MLB.
During the second inning of Wednesday’s game against the Royals, Cabrera delivered an opposite field solo home run off Royals starter Jonathan Bowlan—who was making his MLB debut—to give Detroit an early lead, in what was an amazing moment for the 40-year-old.
