How McCann didn't get tossed is ridiculous, blocking the plate on a HR. What are there umpires for? Gomez is an idiot but the Braves instigated the incident. If a guy wants to be an asshole, let him be an asshole.
Alright, alright, alright!

Exactly. That is fucking insane that he didn't get tossed.

The Braves need a spark before the playoffs and I think that's what McCann was going for there.
I'm not an Atlanta fan at all but I applaud McCann. Gomez was acting like a retard around the bases and I'm glad McCann said something to him and didn't allow him to touch home.

Definitely agree that Gomez was acting like a dbag, but this is the 2nd time in a month that McCann has done this. Who does this guy think he is? The baseball police? Standing there blocking the plate like he's some type of hardass...give me a fucking break. If he really wanted to do something he should have punched him, but instead he completely escalated the situation into something that it didn't need to be.

Yeah those 29 fans who showed up last night saw quite a show huh?
Atlanta fans are the absolute worst.
2.5 million fans have attended games at Turner Field so far this season. That ranks them 13 out of 30 teams in attendance so far, so I wouldn't say we are the worst.

I think using cap % is an unfair comparison...it's not like it's the fans fault that the City of Atlanta &/or Braves organization couldn't accurately gauge the ticket demand when constructing Turner Field.
Anyway, who gives a shit. Go Braves!

The cap % may not be fair, but the Braves have struggled in the past to sell out playoff games. That tells you all that you need to know about their fans.
Watch out for fans throwing bottles and all sorts of trash when a call doesn't go their way in the playoffs. I guess they act just like the players when an opposing player hits a HR,
At least their not killing anyone like SF and LA.

So the fans suck when they don't show up, and they suck when they show emotion after one of the worst calls in baseball history? They just can't win.
Prior to their NLDS Game 1 loss to the Dodgers, the Braves had franchise icon and future Hall of Famer Chipper Jones throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Rather than throw the ball to long-time teammate Brian McCann or team MVP Freddie Freeman, Chipper had to make the toss to the team mascot. Why? Kevin Kernan of the New York Post explains:
Evidently, Braves players were not happy Jones had gone on the radio earlier in the day with the team's flagship station, 680 The Fan, and predicted the Dodgers would win the NLDS in four games. So no player volunteered to catch the pitch.
First things first: Hey, nice call Chipper. The Dodgers officially won the series in Game 4 on Monday.
Secondly: C'mon, really? Are the Braves that petty? I mean, I guess they are since the mascot (the mascot!) had to catch the ceremonial first pitch, but this is silly. Grow up and prove Chipper wrong, that's the appropriate response. Not stamping your feet and refusing to participate.

I want to bring some positivity back to this thread- the Braves won 96 games and the NL East, without their two best relievers (not closer), without their best starter for almost the entire year and without their veteran leader pitcher for the final few months. They are a very young team and will bring back a lot of talent for the next 5 or so years. A couple of breaks here and there and they can win it all.
