Being a fan and being rational is a difficult balance to maneuver. Especially as an Atlanta Braves fan on a day like today.
Fans pour their heart and soul into their teams, which often leads to unrealistic expectations and “in the moment” reactions to wins or losses.
While sometimes it is difficult, I try really hard to stay rational when it comes to the Atlanta Braves. Rather than saying something off the cuff, I let things process and then re-evaluate the next day.
But in the case of the Atlanta Braves letting Josh Donaldson get away, the feelings are the same now (Wednesday morning) as they were Tuesday night.
