The Atlanta Braves are set to begin the new season with a World Series berth in mind, after falling short in the NLDS last year. Their first game of the season will take place in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon, following a rain delay that postponed Thursday’s game.
At a recent press conference, pitcher Spencer Strider emphasized the importance of setting high standards and striving for greatness. “It’s important to be honest with yourself and always strive for excellence,” he said. “We want to surpass last year’s accomplishments and make it all the way to the World Series.”
Pitcher AJ Minter echoed those sentiments, adding that their goal is nothing less than a championship title. “We expect nothing less than success this season,” he said. “We have what it takes to make it happen, and we’re determined to give it our all.”
Fans in Atlanta can show their support at the opening night party at the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. The event will include live music, food and drink from local restaurants, performances and more, starting at 3:00 p.m. As they embark on the road to victory, players and fans alike are filled with anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead.
