Braves 🆚 Cardinals 8/05/21 sweep and dash 😎😎

Welcome to another edition of Gamecock Central Braves Baseball ⚾️ Chat 💬. I am your host @Pfunk Cock along with a plethora of regular participants in the chat and of course our number one nemesis and 😈 Bridge Nuisance @pepsicock who pops in when the Mest Win (He won’t pop in tonight) 😎😎. Today we dine and dash , We Streak and Sneak, We win and we are 1.5 from the rightful place of Braves Fans Everywhere! 😎 Tonight we overcome the curse of the Braves Haters Club once and forever as we will be above the break even point for the very first time this season and never look back to see who is gaining. DO YOU HEAR ME MEST FANS? 😂😂😂😂😂 The Heat is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Get out of our kitchen.

The Braves will throw Touki Toussaint tonight as he will try to atone for a disastrous showing his last time out after two superlative starts. He has some of the best combination of pitches in the organization and just needs to be consistent and the man in charge on the bump. Do t get breaking ball happy and remember that the fastball sets up everything else. Establish a good one and the the rest will follow as the breaking balls will kot have to be perfect to keep them off stride and guessing . The Cardinals will counter with yet another southpaw as for the 3rd straight game another veteran lefty will try to get them to roll over pitches and ground out to Arenado. 🤔🤔 Will we oblige or obliterate? I say hit em where they ain’t and fly home for a quick home stand against the bottom dwelling teams from the East . Yes the teams that are keeping the spot warm for the Swooning Gotham Pretenders. 😈😈

*** Welcome our new intern Kendall Smith (plus Sights and Sounds from media day)

Please join me in officially welcoming our new intern @kendallmsmith to Gamecock Central!

You'll probably be seeing her name around here quite a bit (as well as another intern we'll introduce you to soon) over the next couple of semesters.

Kendall will be producing video content, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera, and will likely be creating some written content as well.

Kendall is a student at South Carolina and has already worked as station manager, anchor and reporter for SGTV on campus and for Lexington County Blowfish Baseball this summer.

We are excited to have her on our team!

Check out her Sights and Sounds video from today's media day:

Quote from Shane Beamer about day one of practice

Provided by South Carolina media relations:


"It was exciting. I took a moment before I walked onto the field just to think about how grateful I am to have this opportunity and in 22 years of coaching all the "Day Ones" that I've had as an assistant coach. This is obviously the most special one that I've ever had of Day One, so it was great from that standpoint sentimentally. And then practice, I also thought was good. For Day One I thought we did a lot of really good things - not a lot of sloppiness, not a lot of people on the ground. We talked about practicing the right way and being able to practice with each other the right way. I thought we did a good job from that standpoint. Obviously we have a long way to go, but it was a good start."
