Atlanta Braves Gear Up for World Series Push, With Eyes Set on Excellence
The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for a new season, almost six months after their last game. 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. As they prepare for their journey towards the World Series, both players and fans alike are filled with anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead.
Pitcher Spencer Strider emphasized the importance of evaluating oneself honestly and striving for greatness. The team is looking to surpass last year’s achievements, having won 104 games in the season but ultimately falling to the Phillies in Game Four of the NLDS. This season, the Braves are determined to avoid a similar outcome and are setting their sights on reaching the World Series.
Braves 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. 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. With their focus on excellence and determination to succeed, there is no doubt that this season will be an exciting one for the Atlanta Braves.
