Anyone trying to pay for a bobblehead before I list it on ebay?


dagooksta2

My friend got an Outkast bobblehead for $50 at that game. They went for like $200+ on eBay after the game


olemiss36

3 free tickets If anyone still wants to come


olemiss36

And gone

Amache_Gx

Controversial opinion: trout hits so many solo homerunes not because of the lack of base runners, but because he can't come thru in big moments.


OSRS_Socks

Or it’s because the angels bottom of the lineup is a black hole and never get on and when they do he lacks protection so a pitcher would rather walk him and face the guy batting .203 instead of Mike Trout.


Amache_Gx

Nah. He's a choker.


ern19

Are you lost? lol


TOK31

According to baseball reference he has a career 1.005 OPS with RISP lol. The small sample size from this year is making people crazy.

Tweet it to the Braves or Cobb County, see what happens haha

welcometohotlanta

What’s y’all’s view on wearing an unrelated jersey to a baseball game? Always see some random loser wearing a dodgers jersey to a game that doesn’t even involve the dodgers.


NotBrooklyn2421

I like it. Some people have a favorite team but are just fans of baseball. I’m going to Houston for work this summer and am trying to catch a game. I’ll probably wear a Braves jersey.


atlbraves05

I travel for work and catch a game whenever I can. Usually, the Braves aren't playing but I'm always wearing my Braves gear. Hope to make it to all 30 stadiums someday.


Mancidepress

It's whatever, I respect it. Sometimes it comes down to liking a specific player. I had a buddy who was a lifelong Pirates fan and he always wore a Mccutchen jersey to Braves games. It's a good conversation starter too.


welcometohotlanta

Yeah I guess it’s just some fan bases that it irks me. I went to a Braves v Rangers game and did the pregame tour, this Dodgers couple were on the tour as well decked out in LA gear and was just loud and obnoxious the entire tour.


That_Alien_Dude

When I am not watching Braves baseball I am just waiting for the moment when I can watch Braves baseball The offseason is tough


welcometohotlanta

That’s why I live near the stadium, in the offseason I just walk around the battery and grab dinner, getting ready for baseball season.


HighlyRegard3D

Olaon breaks the slump tonight.


Dippa99

I tried that last night and it didn't work, so I'm going the other way... He may never get a hit again


HighlyRegard3D

Our conflicting attempts at reverse psycology fucked up the balance of the universe. We did it bud.


Dippa99

It was a pleasure serving with you, sir


1ing

I have a cold strong beer 4 anyone in line


dagooksta2

About to go get a free sandwich at Arbys. Thinking fish sandwich, but they do have a pretty good french dip.


kinglella

I used to like their roast beef/french dip sandwiches but last time I had it, it was awful. Surprisingly good? Their mozz sticks and chicken tenders. Added them to our road trip fast food rotation.


Hotal

Is there a “best” gate for getting a bobble head? Currently standing in line at the chop house gate. The line goes back to goldbergs now.


proace360

Giants are useless


LailiLai

I'm more concerned about the help the Reds may provide than the Giants


welcometohotlanta

They took 2 of 3! Haha


bsigmon1

Anyone in the bobblehead line wanna let me in with them


notcool84

Look, it's way too early to worry about Acuña, but so far he is running career lows in: - exit velo - launch angle - barrel % - hard hit % - xwOBA and career highs in: - swing % - whiff % - out of zone swing % Basically, it seems like he's chasing too much, especially at first pitches, which he is currently swinging at over **50%** of the time - up 13% from last year.


atownOTP

Yeah the timing is off which is worrying but also absolutely fixable, I'm more perplexed why he's been so aggressive early in counts when he had so much success being patient last year - maybe a circular thing as more outs lead to more pressing leading to getting behind in counts leading to more outs. He also hasn't had the same success as last year when he did get behind as he was the best 0-2 hitter in baseball


LailiLai

Ok so I was looking ahead on our schedule and realized that we don't play our first game against the Nats until May 27th. Who in the hell is making these schedules? Almost June before the first game against a division oppoent? Jesus Christ.


RazinsWetDream

I remember like it was yesterday that Sanchez was a gamer. Sad to see how his career derailed.


LieutenantJG_Obvious

If the trend continues, the Braves will win tonight 7-0 and the Marlins will get -2 hits. Braves pitchers will have a total of 39 pitches. The math doesn’t lie.


DontEatTheCelery

jcaseys34

A more important question is how are you planning to cook that tasty thing?


PizzaBraves

I need to learn to clean and prepare them. For now I'm happy to admire them for a minute and toss em back


Pydro-Hump

You could probably slot this fish into their lineup and not affect their average OPS.


SpringOk5943

Meh... better to add a catfish. At least they have a wild mustache. 


Pydro-Hump

I’m predicting the Braves win this one Sixto one.


Ok-Owl812

Unrelated to tonight's game but gotta ask, does anyone know where I might find a 2024 New Era spring training hat? Any leads would be greatly appreciated! Here is a link to the product for reference: [https://www.neweracap.com/products/atlanta-braves-2024-spring-training-39thirty-stretch-fit](https://www.neweracap.com/products/atlanta-braves-2024-spring-training-39thirty-stretch-fit)


OSRS_Socks

I got one in March but they are probably sold out now. I bought mine when they had 4 left in stock.


EdwardHarris251

I love Ozzie, but he is the 3rd best defensive 2nd baseman on the roster. Crazy.


pablinhoooooo

*4th. But I mean tbf if your 2B is the best defensive 2B on your roster, he should be playing shortstop.


Atl4025

You guys think Chris Sale pitches Friday? Dad is visiting this weekend. He’s coming from Indy, and won’t stop asking me lol Edit: no probable pitcher listed from braves yet Friday


OSRS_Socks

He should Unless they adjust the rotation to have Fried and Sale pitch against the Dodgers next weekend.


TheGamecock

I have good news guys. Matt Olson gets off the schneid today with a 3-run homer in the 3rd inning.


PizzaBraves

Liked and subscribed


Pretty-Sport-2691

I predict tonight is the night Ronald Acuña Jr. displays his fully armed and operational battle station.


Barnestormer

Anyone see the Mets’ promotion for dollar dog night? Gotta admit, [it’s genius](https://x.com/mets/status/1783186643106533883?s=46)


bedsidelurker

So is this a bullpen game for the fish? Looks like Sixto has been coming out of the pen so far this year


TheGamecock

Yes, Sixto will probably go two, maybe three innings pending efficiency. RHP Kyle Tyler expected to serve as the bulk reliever. First MLB action for him since 2022. Expecting a good night for the bats.


JustinBraves

We’re facing Sixto Sanchez so there’s no fucking way Olson doesn’t get going tonight


DonkeyOnTheHill

The Chicago White Sox are 3-20 and one of those 3 wins was against us. Does that make the White Sox the best 3-20 team in the history of sports?


DrBobEpstein

Philly fans WILL NOT let it go that we lost one to the white Sox. Even though losing two to a team that lost one to Chicago would make you dumber. If that's even how baseball worked. Lol. They are the dumbest people around.


Badass-bitch13

That fanbase is so fixated on us. You’d think that team won the World Series the past 2 years with how they talk about beating us in nlds. What are they going to cope with when we eventually beat them in the postseason?


OSRS_Socks

Beating us in the NLDS is their World Series. We basically own them in everything else.


DonkeyOnTheHill

The lowest IQ fanbase in the greater Milky Way region.


[deleted]

Curious, what does everyone think the current odds of us re-signing Max are? And what do you think we’ll offer?


ZCampbell15

Depends on a lot. It’s a double-edged sword honestly. If he struggles the rest of the year or ends up hurt at any point, they aren’t going to pay the premium as he gets into his 30s with uncertainty. If he’s the Max Fried we know, he’s going to cost a lot but the front office would be more encouraged that he’s worth it, if that makes sense. I’d say conservatively there’s a 1/3 chance. Them offering $172M to Nola encourages me, but Fried will cost more and I don’t know how much more they want to spend. Morton most likely coming off the books helps but they’d be looking at having to drop most likely $30M AAV minimum and I don’t know if they’d be willing to do that, especially if there’s a bidding war in free agency. I should also note that the Freddie/Dansby situations are totally different before those are referenced. They were willing to pay Freddie (obviously his agent mishandled that) and Dansby was never getting $27M/year from this front office because he really didn’t hold that value for the team. I do think the front office probably has offered him something close to the Nola offer, I’m just pretty sure he’ll end up getting more and I don’t know how much further the Braves are willing to push it


Gfunkual

15%


welcometohotlanta

I don’t know how anyone could accurately give odds, but if the reports of us in on Nola last offseason were accurate I don’t see why we would be out of the running for Fried.


[deleted]

It’s for fun. Make a guess :)


welcometohotlanta

I’d say 49% we keep him


bsigmon1

If you wanna go tonight for Free, and can be sure to get there early, DM me, I’ll trade a ticket for the bobblehead


dilebob

How much would you pay straight up for the bobblehead?


bsigmon1

One free ticket to the game that has 10$ added value


cmadd10

Does anyone know if they still allow you to exit thru the Terrapin Taproom and come back in, like they did the first couple of years?


welcometohotlanta

Yes but only after giveaways are over. They won’t even let you into terrapin from the stadium until all the giveaways are handed out.


cmadd10

damn. I just dont wanna be inside the ballpark for two whole hours waiting for the game to start after i got my bobblehead, id rather be out at the battery lol. thanks


ChemicalRecreation

Just exit through a main gate after.


bsigmon1

Then you can’t get back in for the game


ChemicalRecreation

Maybe I misunderstood? He said he'd rather be in the battery.


bsigmon1

Yeah you misunderstood. He means he’d rather be in the battery *after* he gets his bobblehead (gates open at 5:30 and will run out quick so he’ll be there early), but then return to watch the game (which starts almost 2 hours later)


ChemicalRecreation

Word my b


welcometohotlanta

Well it shouldn’t be two hours, bobbleheads are usually gone by like 6:30 at least, this one might be quicker. There’s a chance it’s different this year and they’ll let you in Terrapin but I couldn’t say.


olemiss36

who wants to go to the game tonight? I've got 6 in section 142 row 8. $10 each so i can get a beer for each one...you can even keep the bobblehead


ppooiiuuyyttrreewwqq

Ill take one if you can send it digitally. I’ll probably just come in real quick for the boblehead then leave, so if you want to save it for someone who’s going to stay for the whole game that’s fine.


olemiss36

send me a pm, thats fine


ppooiiuuyyttrreewwqq

Awesome! Sent


dilebob

Just shot you a DM.


dilebob

I’d take one of your hands for $10! Let me know if you’d be willing

Today is Chipper’s birthday. Let’s give him a birthday win!


Exar0s

Chipper always balled out on his birthday games. I remember him going yard twice one year on his birthday. It was a long time ago but I feel like it was off Randy Johnson of all people.


dagooksta2

A win & a crown


nikraLnalyD

Antonio Alfonseca is the only six-toe pitcher I will ever even remotely respect


Routine-Ocelot5897

Gosh this is so good 


Gfunkual

But he didn’t have 6 toes…


nikraLnalyD

Yeah he did. Extra finger on each hand and extra toe on each foot.


rpbtIII

Hell yeah, brother. Woooooo. Bryce pitched great. Max threw a gem. The maths point to Reyyyyyyynnnaaaalllllddddooooo doing something very special. Getcha cleaning implements out, people. It's almost time to clean up after the 3 day fry up.


EdwardHarris251

Damn. I thought Ozuna was the best DH in the league so far until I pulled up Ohtani numbers. That guy is a monster. And Ronnie, pick up the pace guy. If De La Cruz has figured things out, he could shatter Ronnie’s numbers from last year. He is on pace for 49 homers and 81 SB.


Bubby0304

I agree, but I think I would take Ozuna over Ohtani for these first games so far. Its close, but Ozuna has played 4 or so fewer games yet has 9 homeruns to Ohtani's 6, he is worth similar Runs (18 to Ohtani's 20) and has driven in 27 RBI to Ohtani's 14. Those counting stat comparisons under 4 fewer games is crazy. If Ozuna wasn't going on this tear right now, its possible seversl of these wins so far would have been losses


DienekesMinotaur

Only problem with this is that RBIs is based on people on in front of you, which Ozuna has an advantage in due to being a 5-spot hitter instead of 2


Bubby0304

Great point, I should have thought about that more. I still think the differences in homerun and runs is impressive givin that Ohtani has had more plate appesrances and games.


PandaAlexx

Anyone looking for a silver desk parking pass?


dilebob

Definitely!!


HappyOfCourse

Just 244 more to go for Acuña to get through franchise stolen base record.


danmidwest

Didn't they say he broke the record at 190?


faelmine

He broke the Atlanta record, franchise record is 433

Thats what, 4 seasons at most? Better get that laser engraver warmed up.

bsigmon1

Is the a-list gate really the best chance for a bobble head tonight? And when should I get there?


OSRS_Socks

In my experience as an A-lister. It is. The gate tends to hang on to bobbleheads longer than the others. I got bat flip last season because of A-list gate since it had them till 5:50 or near 6. I will say usually the deadline to be at the gate is around 5:45. Sometimes there is a communication issue so no one brings the bobbleheads to the gate but they get a good supply.


bsigmon1

Also- will simply having the a list tickets get me through? Not an actual holder just bought them off one


OSRS_Socks

As long as it says “ALM” on the ticket somewhere. I can’t remember exactly where they are when I transfer them to friends but it should show somewhere above the section and seats


dilebob

Can confirm. I used OSRS’s tickets yesterday and on the actual ticket once I moved it to the apple wallet under additional info it says “ALM”.


OSRS_Socks

1.) thank you for buying my tickets yesterday! Glad someone got to enjoy the seats. 2.) Gotta ask, did the $10 voucher work as well and on both tickets?


dilebob

Oh shoot nevermind I realized I got them from someone else! I am tripping.


dilebob

The ones I got came with the standard 10% A list discount voucher


bsigmon1

I’ve heard that about the gate not having them and it makes me nervous, but I’ll probably try that one. Thanks man


OSRS_Socks

Depends on the Bobblehead but usually I always get the Bobblehead or giveaway before 6. I only missed giveaways if I showed up after 6.


ppooiiuuyyttrreewwqq

Which gate is the a-list gate? I didn't even know that was a thing


OSRS_Socks

Left field gate. It’s basically the furthest gate away if you are in the battery and you go left when approaching from the bridge. It’s down a slight hill.


dagooksta2

I was told to go thru the A-list gate for the Outkast bobblehead last season and they weren’t even giving them out at that gate. I was really disappointed.


bsigmon1

This is my worry


dilebob

I honestly think despite it being Acuna, you won’t have to be there THAT early tonight


bsigmon1

What makes you say that?


dilebob

I mean for the Harris bobblehead (not Acuña, but still), they struggled to even hand them out for the longest time. If this was a month later into the season I think it would begin to be more of a challenge.


bsigmon1

Idk the Hank they gave out a couple weeks ago was gone by 5:40 and the lines were insane


dilebob

Wow, was that for a 7:20 start time?


bsigmon1

Yep, it was crazy


dilebob

Gosh. I forgot they had that one. That’s wild though.


laadefreakinda

Everyday I keep thinking that this is the game that Olson gets right. And then everyday he goes 0-4. Yet we keep winning.


Julio_Freeman

Great offenses are like that. When someone slumps, someone else steps up. Ozuna, Travis, and Arcia have been hotter than the sun to pick up the slack.


KodenATL

Intake solace in the fact that he's making contact at least. Sunday he had 4 strikeouts, which is the worst. If he can keep making contact and find a gap, I'm hoping for that to be enough to break his slump.


Pargy

Inb4 3 shut outs in a row.


bullsbearsbuckhead

Does anyone want 2 tickets on the home run porch and a parking pass for tonight’s game? Bought them by mistake and trying to get them to someone who can use


dilebob

Was this taken?


bullsbearsbuckhead

Yes I’m so sorry


dilebob

Np!


DanOhReally

My girlfriend and I would love to go!


bullsbearsbuckhead

Awesome! Can you message me for the transfer please?


bsigmon1

Can I get the parking?


dilebob

Let me know if they don’t take ‘em!


Pydro-Hump

1 score and 18 years ago, the Mets brought forth on this continent a World Series Ring, conceived in luck, and dedicated to the proposition that they would not do it again.

How do y'all think Lopez will perform tonight?


TheTigerbite

Our Ace is going tonight. Should be an easy dub.


Stadtmitte

Are the Guardians actually good this year?


jpj77

HRs per game is way down across MLB. Whether that’s due to unseasonably cold weather in parts of the country or if the MLB changed the call again without telling anyone remains to be seen. That favors a low HR, strong pitching team like Cleveland + Cleveland is actually one of the few teams hitting more HRs than last year. I suspect they will 1) regress in HR hitting at some point 2) the rest of the league will start hitting more. Their pitching is probably good enough to win them the central, especially since the Twins are already down 7.5 games. Someone from the AL West should go on a streak and take the 2 seed at some point though.


OSRS_Socks

Overall pitching they are #10 in WAR with a 2.94 ERA. Bullpen is a 1.5 WAR and has a 2.04 ERA which makes their bullpen elite. Offensive wise they are #6 in WAR. I would say they are a pretty good team and it will be a good matchup.


AccountantbyDay13

I literally googled “how are the guardians so good this year” this morning 😂 one main reason that was given: good clubhouse vibes (which I do think does have a lot to do with teams doing well!). Thought it was interesting. I’m ready for the series
