I take my job with the Braves very seriously & try to keep my fan boy under control. However when you’re standing on a quiet field 3 hours after the game soaking it all in & AA walks out with the NL Championship trophy, I turn into a kid & fall into my fandom. I love this team
And just like that, the only noise from the stadium consists of the Grounds Crew cleaning up & commotion from the party that continues at The Battery. Just. One. More.
#BattleATL
I rarely “fanboy” players, but am a HUGE Snit fan. Love this pic of him toasting the team after clinching a playoff berth.

(credit to whomever owns this)
Why are people so upset with the Braves late game performance?
A) it’s the NLCS
B) it’s the Dodgers
C) This. Is. The. Postseason.
D) WE WON
Don’t @ me with “this is what the Braves do”. This team is different.
See you Wednesday at 6!

Help me out here..
2016: New Coach. Goes 8-5.
2017: True Freshman QB.
Spends 2 Weeks ranked
#1
.
Starts 9-0, best since the 80's.
Clinches SEC East.
Loses to a better team.
Still has chance for CFP appearance.
But fans are jumping ship because this 1 loss is "same ol UGA."
Ok?
Been saying this for years. It’s not the fans, it’s because Sanford is boring. You kill the crowd by spending the 10 tv time outs recognizing the 1994 swim team or a random biology professor. Good for them but it gives us an excuse to sit down. Stadium needs better entertainment.
What significant about 18?
Well, at 18 you can:
- vote
- skydive
- buy tobacco
- get called for jury duty
- join the military
- sue someone
- buy stocks
- create a will
Also significant about 18?
It’s the number of games back mets are in the NL East.
18.5 to be exact.
#ForTheA
Fans were heartbroken after Newcomb gave up the hit but
@Braves
still got the win, Newk solidified his position as a stud/fan favorite & Chipper is officially in the MLB Hall of Fame. All in all, a good day in Braves Country.
#ChopOn
Few moments from
@Braves
World Series Ceremony: Morton got emotional, MVP Chant for Austin, Acuña with a huge pop, Franco appearance, Dansby calling to re-sign Freddie, Ian looking like an Indie Rock star, Will Smith & Joc with a F-bomb, Heredia with a samurai sword.
We did it.
Tonight I learned:
- Acuna has a kid
- Ozuna is soft spoken
- “distanced” celebrations are weird
- Bryse Wilson looks like a country singer on Team Blake
- Byrd is criminally underrated (but we knew that)
- I miss Braves Country & the ballpark

for his 16 wonderful years as our in-game host!
We wish you all the best, Mark!
I’m so confused. 10th inning & Freeman is in a Dodgers uniform. Jansen tried to close it out for the Braves. Kimbrel is now on the mound. And I’m googling Mike Ford.
Baseball is wild.
Wanna hear something cool?

OTD in 2018
@BlooperBraves
was introduced to the world. While the kids loved it, the negative reaction from grown men was comical. Today, our beloved mascot brings laughs, joy & ratioed tweets to fans across
@Braves
Country.
Braves Fan: what have you heard about Freeman?
Me: nothing.
Fan: seriously?
Me: seriously.
Fan: I know you know something.
Me: What would I know?
Fan: (getting agitated) c’mon, I won’t tell anyone.
Me: I. Host. The. Tool. Race.
Fan: rolls eyes.
Thanks for the ego boost though.
I HATE that Culberson got hit (he’s one of the coolest dudes on the team) but I friggin LOVE how pissed Snit got & how fired up
#BravesFam
is right now. This 2019 team & fan support is like something I’ve never seen.

#UGA
fans at Church this morning:
"Heavenly Father, thank you for the bleesings you have given Dawg Nation this season. Please watch over our players & keep them safe (Bama too, I guess). But Father, just 1 more win is all I ask.
In your name we pray, Go Dawgs!"
#GoDawgs
I was there for Jocs NLCS Chophouse HR, I was lucky to see Acunas NLDS rookie GS, I experienced the insanity of UGA vs. UT in Athens & even when Goldberg beat Hogan at the Dome, but to this day, Duvalls WS Game 5 GS is the loudest I’ve heard any crowd, ever.
Me: Hey, AMC, you said this was the end of Rick Grimes?!
AMC: No, we said it was his final episodes on
#TWD
Me: Oh come on
AMC: Coming up we have 4 movies, a 16 part mini series digital content & a Rick Grimes mix tape!
Me: Ok, I'm tapping out.
AMC: Don't forget about FTWD too!
At 20, I knew I'd be a millionaire by 40.
When I turned 30, I wanted to be living at the beach by 40.
Today I turn 40.
No beach house. Not a millionaire. But I'm happier than I've ever been. 2 awesome gigs, a wife I adore & a little girl that owns me.
Life is better than good.
On the 12th Day of Christmas, Kirby gave to me:

On this National Signing Day, Id like to announce I've officially committed to the
@Braves
for my 13th Season.
FYI: "committed" means I just answered the text that said "You good for 2019?"
#BeProudAndSayItLoudGoBraves
#ChopOn
#Braves
Yes, its exhausting being a
@Braves
fan.
But there’s a reason I always say: “ya’ll are the best fans in baseball”.
Braves Country is passionate to the point of obsession. Thats not bad.
Regardless of how 2nd half plays out, hope you continue to support this team. They need it.
Thursday: stress about Braves
Friday: stress about Braves
Saturday: stress about Dawgs
Sunday: stress about Braves & Falcons & Atlanta United
Monday: stress about Braves
Tuesday: Google best OTC stress relief medication.
UGA vs Vandy cancelled & the Dawgs are looking for an opponent.
If we’re changing CFB rules, there is a team about 70 miles from Athens whose season is over but I assume would love the opportunity to partake in some Clean Old Fashioned Hate.
Sanford is ready.
#UGAvsGT2020
That was no fun. However, it was the biggest crowd to attend an outdoor event at
@BatteryATL
.
Glass half full:
@Braves
can now clinch in front of their fans.
Bonus: if you’re at the game, you don’t have to hear the broadcast.
Enjoy your Friday. We need you Saturday. Let’s go.
Most disappointing week of sports in Georgia history?
Sun: Falcons lost to go 1-4
Wed: Hawks go 0-2 (preseason)
Wed: Braves embarrassed in NLDS
Sat: UGA & GT lose
But hey. Ga. State & West Ga. won today. So, we got that going for us.
It took just over 24 hours but the UGA hate is out in full.
Seeing lots of bitter hot takes including..
- “it still took over 40 years”
- “…yeah but, Bama injuries”
- “it’s just one”
- “wouldn’t have beat OSU”
Shhhhhh… life is hard. CFB is great. Dawgs on Top!
#GoDawgs
I still get nervous before every
@braves
game. It never really hits me until right before my first live hit.
We got 6 hours & I just got that nervous feeling.
Tonight feels special. Tonight feels different. If you’re coming, know I’m just as nervous & excited as you.
Let’s go.
Christmas Day Dad Rules:
- Yell "how’d Santa get that in here?"
- Wear sticky gift bows on forehead
- Be ready w/ trash bags
- Announce "Its The Best Christmas Ever!" every 20 mins.
- Around Noon start mumbling that the house looks like a damn war zone
- Survey the room & smile
Top: GT Spring Game 30 Min before kickoff.
Bottom: UGA Spring Game 30 Min before kickoff.
This is why the GT fan base drives me crazy. Loves to talk big, refuses to support the program.
The
@BatteryATL
crowd just popped HUGE at the shot of dodgers fans leaving. An eruption from the shopping mall complimented by everyone waving bye. That was fantastic.
@braves
#BattleATL
Some of the conversations overheard in the SRO section
@Braves
Game:
- Guy bragging about puking in an Uber
- Girls gushing over the Royal Wedding
- Phelps vs Shark Race Debate (??)
- *walked through vape smoke cloud*
- Obligatory drunk couple cry/fight
But we won!
#ChopOn
That was no fun, I’m frustrated at the results but not mad. I was able to spend another summer living the dream. We can play “what if” all off season but for now, THANK YOU
@Braves
Country for being so passionate. I mean it when I say you’re the best fans in baseball.
#ChopOn
FWIW.
@Braves
home game attendance (through 17 games) is at 631,407. Best in MLB.
And 74% of those fans have guaranteed me they could beat the freeze.
@TruistPark
Do I really have a “southern twang” or is this a LA Times stereotype for anyone from Atlanta? FYI, that chant is still bouncing around the Battery this morning.
#BattleATL
#ForTheA
Thanks for the article
@grantmcauley
Unpopular Opinion: I like this chill. We get 7 months of heat in Atlanta. 3 of those are just swamp ass hot. So, a few days of Arctic chill is refreshing.
This is Stephen from tonight’s Beat the Freeze. He was disappointed but excited to have played & all smiles knowing how close he was to winning.
@BeatTheFreeze
@Braves
Braves TV Ratings up 51% this season (biggest increase in the NL, second best in MLB). Cardinals have best TV Ratings. White Sox have the worst.
Attendance at STP is also up.
Winning helps, but the local paper kept telling me the move north would be organizational armageddon?
He EASILY could have pouted, he could have sent passive aggressive tweets, could have pulled away from the team but instead he continued to be a fan of the team & a mentor to Fromm. Cheers & Good Luck to a DGD.
Thank you UGA for an incredible two years. The memories and relationships I have made will truly last a lifetime. I will miss suiting up in red and black, but Athens will always be a place I can call home. -Skinnyqb
Thank you
@Braves
Country for an unforgettable season. Y’all deserve this too. You stuck with the team during the highs & lows.
You screamed, cursed, cried and now..
..now we celebrate.
See you Friday!

#BattleWON
I refuse to subscribe to the narrative presented of so much hatred in America. Yes we have problems but I truly believe 99% of us love, respect & protect each other.
Sadly the 1% making the most noise always gets more attention.
Have a great Sunday. Hug your people.

The “sterile shopping mall Atlanta stadium” grows quiet, but the Battery will continue to celebrate long into Monday morning. The NLCS Game 2 was wonderfully exhausting, but fun. I’m wrecked.

Oh. Hi series win over Miami.
Oh. Hi 2 up in the East.
Oh. Hi 16 over .500! 1st time since '13.
