It has been over 20 years since the Atlanta Braves have won a World Series title. They have come close to playing in the World Series but have fallen short to many other competitive teams.
The Atlanta Braves are the oldest major league franchise to play every season in the MLB. So far, they have only won three World Series titles. Many Braves’ fans believe that it is time to win another. Although many want it to happen, statistics start to kick in and fans start to realize that this may not be the Braves’ season.
However, things are looking up for the Atlanta Braves. Now, they have 90 wins and 55 lost and are currently number one in the Eastern division for the National League. Although many of their key players have been injured, their new and young players have been filling in the roles. Many may ask what makes them stand out from their other seasons. Alicia Hamilton from Powder Springs said, “Well they cleaned up the bull pen, the bull pen is doing much better, they still have their issues but I think that by kind of getting rid of the bull pen they had at the start of the season, much better they are able to finish the game with a win.” Jackson Harris a junior discussed, “You have your bull pen guys that will of course clean up things toward the end of the game if they need to hold it off when it’s a close game also, they can hit runners in if they’re at third base.”
This season, there have been many players that have stood out. Harris said, “We had a lot of home runs. Of course you have Acuña mostly leading them off so it’s kind of exciting to watch him.” Hamilton stated, “Players like Austin Riley who has had to step in that’s been a lot of fun to watch. You know, he comes out in his first game and he hits a home run then he continues to do very well in each and every game.”
Many see the Atlanta Braves as one big family. To become a family, teamwork is a major aspect for a team. Kristen Farell, from Powder Springs, simply stated, “I feel like the more you watch the Braves you realize each player has different relationship with each other.” She also said, “Yeah I just think them as a team like how much fun they have and they’re talented, they’re like a really talented group of young kids.”
The Atlanta Braves so far has had a good season. They have their strengths and weaknesses like any other team, but based on statistics and a few Braves’ fans opinions, their chance of going to the World Series is most likely to happen.
