Braves Briefing: Atlanta mascot Blooper gets called out by the Hawks

The beloved Atlanta Braves mascot did not have the hops.

There's a lot of conflict and disagreement in the world but there is one thing we can all agree on - Blooper is a national treasure.

The Atlanta Braves mascot is beloved by all but he may need to work on his hops a little bit. At an Atlanta Hawks game, Blooper went for a dunk but didn't get a clean jump off the trampoline. It didn't end well and the Atlanta Hawks social media team called out their city's most successful mascot.

How long until pitchers and catchers report?

52 days. Atlanta's expected to ask pitchers and catchers to report on Monday, February 12th, in advance of their first spring training game on February 24th against the Tampa Bay Rays. An official announcement of the reporting date will come in January.
