It took them 53 years just to win one title? Congrats little bro, I guess.

Can the Braves please send some scouts to whatever planet Shohei Ohtani is from?

Insanely specific, and excellent, stat. It’s nice to have you back, @MiamiHEAT.
The Heat scored 10 points in the first 90 seconds tonight. It's the first time a Heat team has scored 10 points that quickly in any game since the play-by-play era started in 1996. They scored nine twice.

Great find.
The only other time these two helmets were worn on the same field. Back in December of 1973. Although Atlanta is wearing a slightly different helmet tonight than in 1973. With the gold stripe.

@MKaminskiMusic Thoroughly enjoyed the Victor Robles walkup music 🦇

And he’s a rookie. Cannot imagine the level of folk hero he would’ve been in Oakland by now. This story could’ve been so much cooler and more fun.
Never in baseball's 150-year history has a player finished a game with at least six hits, six runs and eight RBIs until Nick Kurtz tonight. His 19 total bases tie Shawn Green's single-game record -- and Kurtz had one more RBI. There's a genuine argument it is the best game ever.

As always, Joe knows. "But when Ronald Acuña is right, and thanks goodness it looks like he is right again, there’s nobody better."

We’ve gone from Opening Day Optimism to “Jesse Chavez Will Save the Season” with truly remarkable speed.
Right-hander Jesse Chavez is being called up by the Atlanta Braves, sources tell ESPN. All is right with the world once again.

There’s no reason to do this. Unless you’re trying to erase black history and institutionalize racism.
This used to be the URL for a story on the @DeptofDefense website about Jackie Robinson's time in the Army. The story has been removed. The ghouls who did this should be ashamed. Jackie Robinson was the embodiment of an American hero. Fix this now. defense.gov/News/Feature-Sto…

Say what now
The Georgia State Senate passed legislation Wednesday to create an 11-day sales tax holiday for guns, ammunition, gun safes and accessories. Wednesday’s 90-minute floor debate turned into one about gun rights and gun violence, @rahulbali reports. wabe.org/georgia-state-senat…
