Braves Streaming 'At Home' Opener Friday to Help Get Fans Through Coronavirus Crisis

We get it, Atlanta.

Though we all know exactly why we're currently mired in a hiatus, you wanted baseball. We wanted baseball. It's been awfully difficult to cope with this crisis without the game in our lives.

But, in an effort to mitigate things slightly, the Braves are still keeping their fans engaged with a special "At Home" Opener on Friday in lieu of the intended action at Truist Park.

This Friday at 5:30pm ET we’ll be streaming a special Braves “At Home” Opener featuring interviews with players, Snit, and much more!

Starting at 5:30 p.m. EST, the Braves will be streaming a series of interviews with team luminaries from Brian Snitker to Freddie Freeman, and featuring a National Anthem performance from Timothy Miller.

And don't forget in-game entertainment -- the team will be broadcasting a new edition of the RaceTrac "Beat The Freeze" and the Home Depot Tool Race. Make sure your friends tune in, too, so you can get some friendly wagering going.

Things may be strange for a while, Atlanta, but on Friday, at least, it'll almost feel like you're being taken out to the ballgame, thanks to the Bravos.
