On Wednesday night, the Atlanta Braves will continue their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Truist Park.
The Braves are coming off a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night.
There is a very good chance that the two teams could meet in the 2026 MLB playoffs.
Alex Rodriguez Makes Feelings Clear On Chipper
GettyAlex Rodriguez #13 of the New York Yankees dives in to third base against Chipper Jones #10 of the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field on June 11, 2012 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Earlier this month, Alex Rodriguez shared high praise for Braves legend Chipper Jones (via Pure Athlete).
Rodriguez: “When I witness the best players in the world that’s ever played, I’m talking about Barry Bonds, Griffey, Edgar Martinez, Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte, the three superstars you pitched with—Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz—they all have one thing in common. The through line is they were all black belt fundamentalists. At the end of the day, no one knows pitching more than Greg Maddux. No one knows hitting more than Chipper Jones from both sides of the plate. And when you’re able to have the fundamentals as a foundation, then ultimately you’ve kind of set the floor. It’s just no matter how high you’re going to go, but the fundamentals set the floor… You never look at Chipper Jones’ card and be like, ‘Oh, .330, oh .220, oh .400, 100.’ No, everything’s going to be like right around .300. And that goes back to his fundamentals.”
Braves fans will likely enjoy hearing those comments from Rodriguez.
Jones spent his entire 19-year career with the Braves.
