But this season's struggles, including a recent ejection during a game against the Giants, have fans split. The ejection briefly fired up the team, with Michael Harris II tying the game, but losses keep coming. The Braves are closer to last place than the playoffs, and some fans on social media are calling for a new manager.
Others still admire Snitker's loyalty and success. MLB insider Ken Rosenthal says the Braves won't fire Snitker, but his contract ending could mean retirement or a new role. As Atlanta hosts the All-Star Game, Snitker will likely get cheers, but he needs to fix the team's problems to keep fans happy. The pressure is on, and his next steps will decide how his time with the Braves is remembered.

Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend draws attention for an apparent courtside spat with Oklahoma City Thunder fans in Game 2
Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend Jade Jones. Image via: Jade Jones/Instagram. The intensity of the NBA Finals reached beyond the hardwood Sunday night, as Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton's girlfriend, Jade Jones, became a surprising focal point during Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the Pacers trailing most of the night and struggling to find rhythm, Jones' courtside presence sparked attention as she was seen visibly reacting to the action and appearing to clash with Thunder fans midway through the third quarter. Jade Jones brings bold energy while her boyfriend, Tyrese Haliburton struggles in Game 2 The Indiana Pacers were trying to mount a comeback after a flat first half, and Jones remained an active supporter. Cameras caught her apparently taunting Thunder fans after Indiana hit a timely three-pointer to trim the lead to 14. Though it wasn't clear what was said, the animated moment lit up social media and injected a layer of drama into an already heated Finals series. — Underdog (@Underdog) Haliburton, who came out a hero in Game 1, couldn't recapture the same magic this time. Despite a much-improved second half, the All-Star guard finished with 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-8 from deep. He added six assists, three rebounds, and two steals, but also had five turnovers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo His plus-minus of -9 highlighted the Pacers' struggles to match the Thunder's pace in the 123–107 loss. While Haliburton's performance cooled, Jones didn't back down. Known for her vibrant courtside appearances, the former Iowa State cheerleader has been by Haliburton's side throughout his rise. She made headlines in Game 1, too, donning custom jeans with Haliburton's name stitched down the leg and waving Pacers towels with a friend as they skipped out of the Paycom Center. '3 more!!!!' Jones posted to her Instagram Story after Haliburton's last-second winner in Game 1. That shot, with just 0.3 seconds left, capped a wild 15-point fourth-quarter comeback and marked Haliburton's fourth game-tying or go-ahead bucket in the final five seconds this postseason. Jones and Haliburton, who began dating during their college days at Iowa State, recently celebrated six years together. Their close-knit bond has extended into friendships with Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, a former Pacers assistant.

Unstoppable Marc Marquez wins Aragon Grand Prix to complete perfect weekend
Marc Marquez proved once again that he was the master of the circuit at MotorLand as the Ducati rider won the Aragon Grand Prix from pole to extend his lead in the championship on Sunday. Marquez's brother Alex finished second for Gresini Racing while Marc's teammate Francesco Bagnaia came third as Ducati bikes swept the podium. Marc had completed the perfect weekend last year to win his first race in 1,043 days at the same circuit and he repeated his feat as the polesitter and sprint winner claimed a record-extending seventh MotoGP victory at the track. Such was Marc's dominance this weekend that he became the first rider in 10 years to lead every session -- including warmups, practice and qualifying -- since he did it himself at the German Grand Prix in 2015. "It was an amazing weekend. Leading all the practices, full focus, just full concentration," said Marquez, who now leads Alex by 32 points in the championship. "As I expected, the others got closer and closer every session. In the race, the pace of Alex and Pecco (Bagnaia) was super fast, but it was consistent. (I was) just controlling the race distance. "And the celebration together with my brother was amazing. The best way to come back with full Ducatis in the top." The two Marquez brothers also danced arm-in-arm in front of the home fans sitting in a special stand dedicated to Spain's fastest brothers on two wheels. Heading into the race weekend, the Marquez brothers had also been involved in social media banter over who their mother would support and Marc had the last laugh when he handed her a red Ducati shirt at the winners' circle in the paddock. Perfect launch Marc had broken the lap record to take his 99th career pole before claiming a seventh sprint victory of the season on Saturday despite a poor start, but this time he shot off the line with a perfect launch to lead into turn one. Alex stayed in second place but behind them it was KTM's Pedro Acosta who sparred with Bagnaia for third as they constantly swapped positions, using each other's slipstream to overtake, but the more-experienced Bagnaia held on. Up front, Marc continued to set fastest laps as he streaked away with Alex unable to match his pace, as his brother slowly but surely extended his advantage at one of his favourite circuits which has a corner named after him. The younger Marquez sibling was soon looking over his shoulder to see Bagnaia eating up the distance between them while KTM's Brad Binder crashed in fifth place, leaving the crew chief of the struggling team fuming in the pit lane. But Alex quickly found his rhythm to stay in second while Bagnaia fended off Acosta to prevent an all-Spanish podium. Bagnaia, who is third in the championship, now sits 93 points behind Marc.
