Fantasy Camp is only making me more and more excited for the upcoming season. And if you’d like to take part in this amazing experience in 2024, check out the details at . Hope to see you there next January!
Dansby Swanson is the first
#Braves
player to homer in every game of a three game set vs the
#Mets
since
@andruwjones25
homered in three straight, April 17-19, 2006 at Shea Stadium.
Andruw had four homers in the series, off Pedro Martinez, two off Victor Zambrano & Tom Glavine.
Since that top of the third on June 6th, the
#Braves
have scored 133 runs over their last 18 1/2 games.
Mets have gone from 6.5 games back to 16 back in the NL East over the last 20 days.
Freddie Freeman now leads the National League in average (.359), RBI (48) and doubles (20).
He’s second in OPS (1.128), runs (44), walks (37), OBP (.471) and slugging (.658) with just 29 strikeouts in 184 at bats on the season.
Sure feels like MVP numbers.

Kenley Jansen: “from the other side…whenever the gate opened up, it was devastating. To see Minter, Matzek, Jackson, Will Smith it was just devastating. For me to join and be a part of this is awesome”
#Braves
Nicky Lopez: "It's a special group. They love each other, they all cherish each others time. They all give each other crap here and there which is awesome. It's been truly a blessing and I'm glad I'm a Brave, it's awesome"
#Braves
Will Smith, Kenley Jansen, Tyler Matzek, Collin McHugh, AJ Minter, Luke Jackson and later this season, Kirby Yates.
#Braves
have themselves some serious weapons in the back of that bullpen.
#Braves
tonight clinch their 22nd division title...the most in Major League history. The Dodgers and Yankees each have 20.
Atlanta will also finish the 2022 season without suffering a series sweep. They're just the sixth team since 1990 to go an entire season without being swept
Chris Sale: "I can't stress enough what this clubhouse is like. The energy that's in there, and just the group of guys that's in there, what everyone brings to the table and how laid back it is...it's fun. It's like playing college summer baseball with brighter lights"
#Braves
Well this is the coolest thing ever!! Big thanks to the
@Braves
for sending over the lineup card from Wednesday’s 1-0, 13 inning win over the Reds. Something Mia (and Daddy) will cherish forever!!!

Max Fried’s cleats, Jorge Soler’s helmet, Freddie Freeman’s bat, Eddie Rosario’s glove, Brian Snitker’s jersey, Will Smith’s spikes and Ian Anderson’s hat among a number of other items heading to Cooperstown following the
#Braves
World Series championship.
Freddie Freeman has been on base four times tonight with a pair of singles and two walks.
Freddie has now gone 29 consecutive plate appearances without a single swing and miss. His last swing and miss was on July 11 in Miami.

Acuña on the potential of clinching tomorrow night: "last year they wouldn't let me drink because I was a minor. This year's going to be different...we're looking forward to it"

On these late nights, Max sleeps in my bed until I get home and move him into his room.
As I was moving him tonight he woke up and asked “did the Braves win?”
Told him they won 2-0 and he smiled and said “yes” with a big smile on his face as I tucked him in.
Night, everyone!
Joc Pederson has hit safely in nine straight.
Since joining the
#Braves
, Pederson has five multi-hit games and is batting .317 with four doubles, two homers and 10 RBI in 17 games.
@680TheFan
Here’s one: last year here at PNC Park, a fan asked Dansby to hit a home run. And that night, he did.
Tonight, shortly before the game, the same young fan asked if Dansby remembered him from last year and if he’d hit another.
Tonight he went deep twice!

@680TheFan
There have been 734 triple plays turned in baseball history. The one the
#Braves
turned in the third inning was just the second all-time to go 8-3-5. The Beaneaters also turned an 8-3-5 triple play on June 7, 1884 vs the Grays.
Spencer Strider: "the commitment to winning, not just right now but in the future with the guys in this clubhouse is obvious. It's very cool to have the opportunity to stay here. The expectation is I outperform any contract I ever sign."
#Braves
Charlie Culberson is one of the most genuine, down to earth dudes you’ll ever meet. Wishing him the best with the Rangers. Hope to see you down the road soon,
@cculberson8
!
d'Arnaud on his third homer/grand slam: "I felt like I was 150 pounds running the bases instead of my normal 220. I was trying to hold in my smile a little bit 'til I hit home plate. It's surreal. I hope every baseball player gets to feel that"
#Braves
“The NL East is over. It’s a wrap. No one is touching the Mets….and I don’t even think the Braves are going to challenge them. And even if the Braves do turn it around, it will be too late”
Morning, everyone!
Snit: "I don't know if I've ever been this exhausted after a series before. Man, that was something else. Tell ya what, fans got their moneys worth in this series. They saw some great baseball. Wow, good series win"
#Braves
The fact that William Contreras still uses Narco after Timmy Trumpet and Blasterjaxx came out and said “Edwin is the official one. You have to choose your own song.” is mind boggling. 3 pitches.
In the biggest series of the season, the
#Braves
tagged deGrom, Scherzer and Bassitt for 11 earned, 17 hits and six homers in 14.1 IP.
The Atlanta bullpen on the other hand? How about 1 ER on 7 H over 12.2 IP with just 2 walks and 14 strikeouts.
When Michael Harris got the news last night he was being promoted to the Big Leagues, he called his parents and asked if they could pick him up at the airport this morning. His dad picked him up from his 6:30am flight and dropped him off at Truist Park. How cool is that?
Freddie Freeman: "these are the things that, when I'm done playing, hopefully a long long time from now, I can look back and remember this moment. It's special. Its what you dream about as a kid, hitting a homer to clinch a playoff. Kinda hard to put into words right now"
#Braves
While the
#Braves
have won two out of their last six games, today's victory gives them their largest division lead of the season (+10.5)
Enjoy your evening, everyone.
MLB Network just unveiled their Top 25 players under the age of 25 in Major League Baseball.
Ronald Acuña Jr. takes the number one spot.

Josh Donaldson: "As a team, we would like to get the best record in the National League to set you up for home field advantage. Any time you can get that home field advantage...if you go seven games...you're making sure it's back at your home field"
