    Unfortunately we have a lot of UGA and Bama fans in our fanbase.

    The average Braves fan is about the same as the average UT Football fan. Annoying as shit and knows nothing about the sport. I hate both fan bases equally, though I'm a part of each.

    ok this is a little more honest than my explanation

    They are the absolute worst in baseball.

    This is probably one of my top 5 moments in baseball.

    I've determined that the reason UT fans were so supportive of out division titles in the 2000s is because so many of them were Braves fans and were conditioned that a division title was all you could hope for.

    They really do mirror each other. In the 90s, they both won a ton of games but only managed one championship. Both were mediocre to bad for the better part of the next 20 years. Both currently seem to be trending up but I'm just waiting on that to blow up spectacularly for both.

    I appreciate the advent of the strike zone graphic more because they will be all over the home plate umpire until the pitch pops up on the graphic and then they just go silent

    Fun fact about Braves baseball: The Braves have never won a game I've attended and I've been to enough that the likelihood of that happening has to be pretty small. Some part of me isn't upset when they lose now when I'm at a game because I kinda don't want to break the streak.

    Tennessee has also never won a sporting event in the state of Georgia when I attend.

    That’s pretty weird.

    They won the first 9 games I attended. Two of those in St Louis. 5 were 88-90 when they were cellar dwellers. Since then they have won about 3/4 when I’m there. John Smoltz would be the all time strikeout king if I had had season tickets as a kid.

    I’ve been to so many Cardinals games I couldn’t even begin to guess. Would say probably more wins than losses, but the majority of games I’ve been to are in the 88-98 era which was mostly mediocre

    It is kind of hard to tell how far the ball is going if you are either behind home plate or in the OF stands in the exact direction the ball is hit. At least for me. But I was always a terrible outfielder though.

    I've been to games in other places where fans cheered for a fly ball. So much easier if you are good with the sound and watch the outfielder. Rangers, Cardinals, Reds fans all did it. It wasn't a problem in Miami...for some reason.

    That said, I will agree that Braves fans, at least the ones at the game, are just awful. You look around and at least half are not really even watching. It's more of a social event.
