When I was a boy my first glove was a Warren Spahn model.
Hank Aaron was one of my favorite players.
I moved to Atlanta in 1978 and became a huge fan. TBS, Ted Turner, and the Braves as a super station brought fans from all over the country. Braves baseball is a whole culture. My roots are the Indians and now Guardians.
I love baseball and follow both teams. But I watch the Braves play damn near every night.
The Braves don't have near the payroll of the Dodgers, and Mets. They are around 7th to 9th in team salary.
The organization is very well run. They are usually in the hunt.
This year and last year they have had a lot of injuries. I figured they would hang in there till the trade deadline and then put on a run.
No way did I expect them to have their record and lead all of baseball in batting average and ERA.
Drake Baldwin won the ROY last season. He has been unreal. Olson leading in RBI's. Guys who were depth players have been playing big roles.
The real surprise has been pitching. I did not see them doing what they are doing at all. Both starters and the bullpen.
At the same time I really love this young Guardians team. They are building a team that will compete well for years.
Yeah baseball.

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

It is a good morning to wake up and see the Guardians and Braves both in 1st place.
Guardians beat Phils. Braves comeback and win in 11th. Braves now 20 games over .500 with a 10.5 game lead over the Phils.
Guardians winning streak at seven.
I am loving this stuff.

From my perspective, Atlanta is a horrible place.

The Braves are dominating every stat.
Schwellenbach, Waldrup and Smith-Shawver are throwing and will return by mid July.
Baldwin will return soon. Acuna is back and will hit his stride.
They are going to be a load come playoffs.

What does it have to do with baseball?
If you dislike Atlanta don't go there.

So just like every other place where you have a large concentration of people in a small area? Atlanta doesn't even rank in the top 25.................... Most Dangerous Places in the U.S. in 2026-2027 Crime rate can be one of the deciding factors of where families settle down. Based on each city's murder and property crime rates per 100,000 people, determined by FBI crime reports, these are the most dangerous places to live in the United States. https://realestate.usnews.com/places/rankings/most-dangerous-places
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
