The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for the start of a new season, with their first game scheduled to take place in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon. The team is determined to avoid a similar outcome as last year, when they won 104 games but ultimately fell to the Phillies in Game Four of the NLDS.
Pitcher Spencer Strider emphasized the importance of evaluating oneself honestly and striving for greatness. He said that the team is looking to surpass last year’s achievements and set their sights on reaching the World Series.
A.J. Minter highlighted the high standards that the team holds itself to, stressing that their goal is nothing less than a World Series title. While the Braves are away in Philadelphia, fans in Atlanta can show their support at an opening day block party at the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. The event will feature live music, food and drinks from local restaurants, performances, and more, starting at 3:00pm.
As they embark on their journey towards the World Series, both players and fans alike are filled with anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead. The first pitch of the game is set for 3:05 p.m., marking the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season for the Atlanta Braves.
