The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for the new season after almost six months, aiming to surpass last year’s achievements and reach the World Series. Their first game of the season is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon, following a rain delay that pushed back Thursday’s game.
Pitcher Spencer Strider emphasized the importance of evaluating oneself honestly and striving for greatness, while pitcher A.J. Minter highlighted the high standards the team holds itself to, emphasizing that their goal is nothing less than a World Series title. The Braves are determined to avoid a similar outcome as last year, when they won 104 games in the season but ultimately fell to the Phillies in Game Four of the NLDS.
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. While 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.
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.
