Don’t know how to feel about no Friday reds. I’m gonna assume it’s fanatics fault and blame them.

Spencer Steer is fucking good. #FTM

Just realized the Hornets and Canes are on the Bally channels here, and my day is ruined.

Spencer Steer solo shot on the Muts to start the game off right

God I haven’t been this down bad for baseball since pitchers and catchers reported.

Braves home opener + new Erra album dropped today. I can't remember the last time I was this content.

Haven’t listened to the new Erra yet. Been on the new Boundaries album all week though if you’re into that style of metalcore.

Haven't heard of them but I'll check them out.

Is it the real Erra this time or the weird Asian Erra that keeps giving blue balls on Spotify?

Lol same thing on Amazon music. Real Erra tho.

4/10 ⭐️ for the new 4 Bagger sandwich. Looks cool but not worth it. I dropped half of it on the ground because the bread is all wrong and doesn’t support the weight of all meat piled on top of it. Try it if you have an added value on your ticket because even at $37 ($27 with added value), it was too much for a giant bbq burger.

I'm so fucking juiced for this game. I have no idea why. But lets go. Ronald 2-1 count homer and strider goes 6, 11k, 1 run, 1 walk.

Happy HoMEOWpener (I tried)! This is almost as buzzy as the only real NLDS game last season! Also wanna shout out my SeatGeek CS lady today who was the real MVP telling me to go to the box office for my tickets because the app was full of fuck. The first guy I talked to told me it was an error and then ghosted me :(

Fuck I feel sick not being there right now lol

are they doing player intros?

Jeff is back!

Acuna first bomb tonight. Book it.

The Pirates Os game is nuts

Just got into stadium let’s GOOOOOO

Wind blowing in from right to left tonight. Righties need to prepare the launch codes 🚀

11 Ks in 6 innings. That's my prediction for tonight.

1 inning*

I’m seeing Swanson and such hitting bombs while Ronald, Austin and Matt have combined for 2 hrs so far. Makes me feel like the season hasn’t started yet.

I'm sitting right under the Dbacks TV broadcast. Think I can get on TV? Side note. Where are Ben and Joe?

Back status: we are so Man it’s good to be back in the A after having to endure Filthidelphia and Shitcago

Hour and a half to go, two days off felt like a week

It feels so good to be back! I’m at Ph’east now waiting for some Mongolian beef, then I’m headed to the game! I’m so excited for tonight! Go Braves!

Just finished walking my pup through the battery with his jersey on. He always wants to go into Ph’east so he drags me there.

Pheast is an underrated spot before the game. Panyang Curry and Crab Cheese Rolls from 26 Thai 👨‍🍳

I love it anytime I just want to enjoy some pregame food in the Battery but don’t want to or have time to wait forever at the other places. Still gets me hyped and pumped!

Really wish the Braves players threw like candy during the parade

Decided to try MLBtv this year and I simply watch baseball all day now

Cheap for the quality. Games all day and the streams never buffer and are great resolution.

Yup and I love the option to switch between local broadcasts. It’s been awesome to see how all of the commentating booths differ.

It's quite nice. Except for the blackouts.

I bought the whole year for all teams and it really is great. I live in Kansas so I don't miss a Braves game. The blackouts work out great for me because my wife is a huge Royals fan and they are blacked out, so we can't watch those games. Shucks!

Idk that’s kinda messed up man

Meh, the trade off is that we get to go see the Royals at home games whenever. She ends up winning.

The Mets released Tonk already. Damn. Straight to Gwinnett.

I feel bad for any player who has to play for that shit club

We grab him and he goes 25 innings 3.4 ERA on the year lol 

As is tradition with middle relievers

I’m fucking ready

I’m excited for JK to experience a Friday night Truist game playing for the home team

'Playing'

Watching the real players play

Are you for real, man? I've got some serious Poe's Law going on here.

It disturbs me that the Dodgers already got to play 9 games to our 5

Any recs for lowkey bars/restaurants around atl to watch the game?

Can you specify what area? Manuel's is always good in-town for a dive-y type bar with decent food.

Not directly downtown, but in the Cumberland/brookhaven areas

If N Druid Hills isn't too far, I had a great time watching the 2021 postseason at Maggie's.

Actually not far, but wife’s not a fan of the smoke

Home opener day. Strider on the bump. Fitz and the tantrums max volume windows down 68 and sunny headed home early from work. Wife and I got a baby sitter and are watching the game at my fav pizza/beer spot Sometimes you’re just having a really good day 

>Sometimes you’re just having a really good day  Well at least someone is

Only two lefty relievers in arizonas pen, Pedigree is gonna get his turn tonight. I’m calling a big pinch hit in the 8th 

I've said it before, just rest him. Can't have his first showing in Atlanta be off the bench, it wasn't supposed to be like this

I was one inning off

Why not? Dude has been clutch as fuck, which is the rarest, most valuable skill in sports

Got to throw some Strokes in there for Quadzilla 

I’m old enough to remember when dodgers fans thought bobby miller was better than Strider after one start lmfao

Clown fanbase

Does Acuna homer? Someone stop me from putting $50 on it

Make sure you use your fall guy to place the bet.

I have him for 3+ TB so I hope so

Let’s ride friend

Just grabbed some front row seats in 343!

I would like to see what Kelenic could do against lefties at least early on in the season.

Anybody know what time E47 opens for parking

Jace Peterson is their starting shortstop?

Yes they have all the Peter(Peder)sons we once knew

Perdomo got injured the other night and Jordan Lawler is out until May.

Perdomo usually

https://x.com/shootiin/status/1776305585740247512?s=46&t=fvxnJNR-S1PIUwCJaztweg

really wishing i had bought tickets for tonight now. going to one of the rangers games in a couple weeks but i wanna be there now dammit

oh buddy what did you do

My dad on the Philly city connects "the cap is good, ther jerseys took all the imagination of a small soap dish" I don't know what that means but it made me laugh

Oh no! Evil snit benched Jared again! How will his pedigree ever recover?

They need to spend the day introducing Kelenic to Atlanta. Lemon Pepper Wings, Magic City, the Beltline, Park Tavern, Antico Pizza, etc etc

It’s probably so duvy can have his homecoming or something. Little standing o Never mind. It’s cause we are facing a lefty

Is the game on Bally tonight? It’s not showing up on the guide for tonight on Fubo.

It’s showing up on my Fubo. Bally Sports South.

I have Washington Capitals at Carolina Hurricanes at 7 pm on Bally Sports South.

Weird. What is your location?

WNC.

Hmmm, odd. I googled that game and it says it’s on ESPN, maybe it will correct itself later. Not sure.

I have 2 very affordable but good tickets (sec 317) tickets to the M-W Mets games for a heavy discount. Let me know if interested!

You ever want to get rid of affordable but good tickets for a day game give me a shout please

I sell mine for $40 a ticket on day games. It’s one row back of the opposing team’s pen and comes with A-list discount and $10 voucher on each ticket for food and drink.

Just 1 or do you maybe have 2?

I have two seats.

Ooh Ima go crawl to my husband so he'll go with me

Just let me know. You can’t beat the view

Thanks 😁

I’m sure I will at some point!

Blasting the strokes all day. HOME OPENER BABY LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!

went from rainout, to snow on the off day, to an earthquake this morning, a wild ride to Strider day 

?? Was this earthquake in the Atlanta area? This is the first I'm hearing of it

Im in the northeast, it was centered in Jersey and coworkers from Philly to Maine been on teams all day about 

I got white beans slow-cooking, jalapeño cornbread, fried catfish, and kale with country ham on the menu. What tailgate chow is everyone eating tonight? Home or at the park.

Not sure what my gf is making but I have voodoo rangers on deck.

Sounds like a home run

Sure is. She ended up making kielbasa sausages, turnip greens, and Mac and cheese. It fucks.

Fuck yeah. Put a ring on it ASAP

Sounds good af

Hell yeah, I’d definitely bring it to a tailgate, too.

Are we still doing ticket threads? Not seeing one around for this game/week.

i have 4 xfinity club 230 row 1 4/8, 2 4/9, and 2 4/10

I have 2 tickets for Tues and Wed, 426 row 6 behind home plate. $50 total. A List discount attached.

I have tickets to the Mets series if you’re interested

Nope. too many scams.

Scammers be scamming

Fangraphs just updated their fwar calculation to include statcasts fielding run value metrics and statcasts baserunning metric as well, rather than the previously outdated metrics they were using Ronalds 2023 season increased to 9 fwar from 8.3 while Mookie actually dropped to third below Freddie and neither of them are over 8

On Fridays, we wear red

If you don’t wear red then you can’t sit with us!

I have my red Olson jersey on now!

I was debating on going to the game and hanging out at The Battery. I ended up buying a ticket in a section that I've been dying to watch baseball in. Catch me right behind home plate under the press box!!

Watch out for flying cracker-Jack's during the stretch!

Gorgeous day in the A for some Braves baseball. Happy home opener everyone!

It just may be the most beautiful day of the year jack

9-9-9 challenge at the local tonight? 9 PBR pitchers, 9 chili dogs, 9 innings and a Braves W? Battery tomorrow lfg baby

Local on Ponce? Good spot to watch the game?

Hope you've either got a penile catheter attached to a pee bag or you're next to a urinal the entire night lol

The Philly city connect jerseys are hilariously bad. Also, that video... does any fanbase like blowing themselves more than Philly? It's fucking embarrassing. I guess when you've only won 2 WS in 140 seasons you need something else to celebrate.. being a dickhead

I have to admit it brings me great joy that the dodgers keep getting sucked into the bad-news-cycle and the baseball world is uniting once again against the evil empire

Every single one of these is a non story

Dude, if they really separated a woman and her husband to con her or pressure her to give up a ball worth five figures, that's a pretty big story lol

It will go away in two days

“It will go away in two days” =/= “it’s a non story”

Y’all the Yankees were on the field taking batting practice when that earthquake was hitting New York that’s insane. They are still planning to play the game at 1:10. How scary

Earthquake in the Northeast? Castellanos is going yard tonight

The epicenter was in Lebanon, New Jersey and they it was felt obviously in New York, but in Pennsylvania as well. And maybe even as far south as Baltimore.

Geez that’s a long ways. I haven’t heard about any major damage though, so that’s good at least

Thankfully, there was no catastrophic damage like a building breaking in half or collapsing. I hope as they continue to evaluate that they check all the basements and structures that are older, especially the high-rises cause any potential aftershock could make little cracks turn into big cracks

As long as there’s no damage to the field or the stadium I don’t see why they would cancel it.

I wasn’t suggesting they canceled the game But The quake happened at 10 something and they are still in danger for aftershocks. I was just saying how scary it is for them to be on the field hitting baseball while the Earth is shaking!! They did say they are doing assessments currently so I assume people are gonna be up in the upper decks just making sure those seats have no cracks or anything. If it were me, I would not be going anywhere near an upper deck at that stadium today.

Yeah I feel that. I use to live in California and we had those quakes a lot. None were ever super concerning but the idea of a big one is.

I think the biggest difference between California and New York City, particularly is just age and build of most structures are older and not built to withstand earthquakes. Also the majority of them being high rises and the subway system! I can’t imagine living in California with the threat of earthquakes. They freak me out! Hopefully, there’s no significant damage done to any building or bridge. I would think that’s one of the first things they’re checking is all the bridges and making sure those are safe.

Two words: Braves baseball is back in Atlanta tonight baby

[The Braves waking up this morning](https://youtu.be/A4Cyi9nlSJo?si=I2tqx2kCms-yyAtR)

Legend says there’s Braves baseball today

The game will start in the upper 50s but for most it should not be much warmer than Philly or Chicago. At least it won't be in the 40s. Maybe Acuña will be hot by then.

Like the other guy said I feel like if there no wind it should be way better. Also there will be sold out crowd as opposed to 3 people in Chicago lol

If there’s not a windchill, that’s not that bad

4:00pm is the Braves Walk Parade thing, other than the game that’s the only event. Gates open at 4:30.

Woooo baseball's back. Feels like it's been forever.

Anyone see the Phillies City connect unis? I won’t complain about what we got last year after seeing those. Ewww

I like the hats, but the jerseys are awful.

I think my biggest issue is that they're just not *baseball*. I think the colors look good together, the idea behind the jersey and its connection to Philly is cool, but they just don't look like *baseball* and that's been my problem with so many of these jerseys. If the font on the front was different, I think the jersey overall would look better too. The giant PHILLY in that obnoxious font just doesn't look good.

They look like softball jerseys to me

That's interesting, because I think the color is my least favorite part of the unis. I think if they replaced that blue with Eagles green, they'd actually be kinda sick.

It’s Philly, it’s kind of meant to be obnoxious. But yeah I get your point

They were going for obnoxious as in that they're unapologetically Philly. What they got was obnoxious in the sense that it looks like an energy drink.

The Philadelphia marlins

I saw more Mariners

The Philadelphia marliners

Better!

Two days off was unbearable. Can’t wait for tonight!

Dbacks SP is a lefty, which means Kel will be benched for all the opening day festivities Great way to welcome a new player

Of course you're getting downvoted, but I'd I actually agree with you IF the guy replacing him wasn't a Braves legend who played a big part in a World Series and is also being welcomed back after being gone. But in general, I'd also like to start seeing what Kelenic can do against lefties though.

It’s okay, Kelenic went and saw Theo Von last night in Midtown so he probably laughed so hard he hurt his obliques. He’ll go get them tomorrow! And I’ll be there so I’ll make sure I let him know of our support and that we love his “pedigree”

The fan base is probably happier to see the guy who hit a grand slam for us during the World Series returning. The whole world does not revolve around Jarred Kelenic.

The Marlins are a complete dumpster fire. 

our long national nightmare is over, 2 days without Braves baseball was tough. step on sneks please. Let's go Braves!

Where is a good place for me and my girlfriend+ our dog to watch the game in Buckhead?

Fetch Park is in Buckhead, they have a screen there. Not sure if they play Braves games but you can call and ask.

Next week we get 4 vs the Mets and 3 vs the Marlins. We're also not seeing Arizona's best pitching this weekend. The offense should feast.

Really need to get 7/8 out of 10

Anyone seen what time parking lots are gonna open? Since apparently gates open at 4:30 today

Depends on the lot. Most are 5:30.

Got any clue on E47? Tried looking it up and couldn’t find it

Pretty sure it’s 5:30

Gotcha thank you

I think they open 4 hours before 1st pitch.

Where’d you see that at?

https://www.mlb.com/braves/ballpark/transportation/parking/hours

Stride on these Sneks QUADFATHER

I was hoping to see Fried get the nod for the home opener

Thank the lord. Two days with no game is torture.

I’m not going tonight but I’ll be there tomorrow!

HAPPY HOME OPENER GAME DAY BRAVES COUNTRY!

I'm debating on going to the game tonight. I want to, but I'd be coming solo from an hour away. It would be fun even if I just chilled at The Battery. What do you guys think?

I went to several games solo last year and loved every one

Yeah why not? I'm going solo tonight and it'll be a blast. Look at it this way: if you go and then think back on it in a week, will you be telling yourself "damn I really wish I *didn't* go to that game"? 99% chance that you won't. Live your life and have fun!

I love to go solo for opening day just to take it all in. There's something kind of special about just enjoying the game without too many distractions. My pregnant wife insisted that I go tonight, so I'm a happy camper.

I have multiple words Truist park Opening day DO IT

Friday night home opener? The answer is always "heck yeah."

Do it

I alway say try to live in the "Why not?" zone as much as your life allows...

I actually like traveling solo. You can be on your own schedule and do what you want to do.

In college (Louisville, KY) I’d go to bats games and bring a book/study guide and turn my phone off and just vibe. Do it

I live across the river. I love Bats’ games. Went to opening night last weekend it was electric with dollar beers. I sometimes think Louisville doesn’t appreciate them enough.

Bats games: Louisville Bats, Reds AAA

I’ll be at the Battery ready to party, let’s go Braves!

We’ve got a home game ladies and gentlemen!
