Snitker unfazed by Braves’ loss Friday

A loss may be a loss, but Braves manager Brian Snitker is trying not to worry too much about a setback in a March spring training game.

Despite coughing up a 4-1 lead and watching the Houston Astros come back to win 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth Friday, Snitker focused on the positives rather than dwell on yet another defeat, one that leaves the Braves’ preseason mark at 6-14.

“It’s a typical spring training game out there,” Snitker said. “Balls go up and stop and drop. In the end, you are very fortunate to get a routine ground ball on these fields.
