ATLANTA - After nearly six months, the Atlanta Braves are back, and they're ready for an even better season than last year.
The Braves' first game of the season will take place Friday afternoon in Philadelphia after rain pushed back Thursday's game.
"To me, there's a mindset of ‘Can you honestly evaluate yourself? How good are you?’ Not to get super mental here, but if you try as hard as you can, if you fail, you're going to know honestly," Braves pitcher Spencer Strider said.
There's no better place to test themselves than in the same place and against the same team that ended a stellar season last year.
