College Football Guy Says Braves Have Best Atmosphere in Baseball
This is why you shouldn’t smoke crack:

“The Braves have the best atmosphere in baseball and it isn’t even close” is an absolutely preposterous thing to say. They don’t even have the best atmosphere in the 2023 NLDS. That place was a morgue for the better part of games one and two. The only thing you could hear on television was the tightening of sphincters until Atlanta finally scored a damn run on a Trea Turner error. There were Phillies chants caught on camera. There were empty seats behind home plate. There were Phils fans who went to Georgia on a whim and got last minute seats. Intern Grace bought a damn ticket and flew out from Arizona and spoke with John Middleton before the game.
What’s even more dumb is that Barrett frames his tweet around one single play in Game 2, which happened to be a historic play that ended it. There’s never been a double play that began in the outfield that ended a playoff game. It was also the first 8-5-3 double play in postseason history. So congrats, your place got loud in that particular moment. If that happened in Philly, the decibel level would have been so loud that the stadium would have slid off its foundation and settled next to the New Wells Fargo Center.
Sallee has no idea what he’s about to witness on television Wednesday night. Citizens Bank Park is going to be fucking rocking from start to finish. It’s not just going to get loud when the home team does something good. It’s going to be a consistent and raucous group of diehards who don’t need gimmicks like the chop. Barrett Sallee stinks! Stick to analyzing Tulane and Rice.
