The umpires rules that Culberson never pulled the bat back, which he didn’t, and the pitch that ended his day was ruled a strike. Braves manager Brian Snitker wasn’t happy with the call and was tossed from the game.
Brian Snitker was understandably furious after umpires called a strike on the pitch that knocked Charlie Culberson out of the game and had to be carted off the field. "Shame on you!" was seemingly one of the few things he said free of profanity. pic.twitter.com/keW4ZXbKwK

You hate to see a guy go down with an injury like that, but rules are rules. If you don’t pull the bat back then you offered at the pitch and it goes down as a strike.
