Opportunities have been limited for Atlanta Braves infielder Brandon Snyder. However, when they do come, he is fully prepared to take advantage.
“I tell (Braves interim manager Brian) Snitker all the time, all I ask is that you tell me when and I will be ready,” Snyder said. “That is the way I have looked at it. Every opportunity is a blessing and to try and take advantage of it.”
On Friday night, Snitker did call Snyder’s number. It was in the fifth inning with the Braves down 8-2 against the New York Mets. There were two runners on and Snitker instructed him to pinch hit.
