The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for a new season after nearly six months of waiting. Their first game is set for Friday in Philadelphia, following a rain delay that pushed back Thursday’s game. The team is determined to excel this season and avoid a repeat of the outcome they faced against the Phillies in last year’s NLDS Game Four.
Pitcher Spencer Strider emphasizes the importance of honest self-evaluation and giving their best effort. He stresses that the team sets high standards for themselves and aims for nothing less than a World Series win. Despite winning 104 games last season, the team is focused on avoiding another disappointing outcome.
Pitcher A.J. Minter stresses that the team’s success depends on their ability to work together as a team. He believes that their chemistry will be key to achieving their goals this season. The Braves have shown great promise in their offseason signings and trades, which have added depth to their lineup and pitching rotation.
As the Braves face off against the Phillies in Philadelphia, fans back 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, local food and drinks, performances, and more, starting at 3:00pm ahead of the 3:05pm first pitch. Information about the event can be found online.
Overall, the Braves are confident that they can improve upon their performance from last season and achieve great success this year. With a strong focus on chemistry, hard work, and high standards, they are determined to make it all the way to the World Series once again.
