Braves Magic Number

A 🧵of important tweets. For clarity. Will pin. twitter.com/AtlMagicNumber…

Taking 38 off your Magic Number before play starts in May is kinda crazy though.

Long way to go. Update for the start of May. Magic Number: 125

@jjosh_exe 139

hey @AtlMagicNumber what’s the number

Happy [Braves] Opening Day! Magic Number: 163

Second time in 3 years the Braves don't play on opening day and I can't really decide when to send the 163 post

@AtlMagicNumber Gotta rely on the classic fake sick note instead

Today show be a holiday. Magic Number: 163

@CubsMagicNumber @MNTwinsMagic @BJMagicNumber @Astros_MN @KCMagicNumber @ClevelandMagic @NYMetsMagicNum @MagicPhillies @RangersMagicNum @DodgersMagic @azdbmagicnumber @BrewersMagicNum Thanks! First time getting the opening day post from you after our teams played each other in Spring Training! But I know that's far from the weirdest thing for your team schedule to start the season. Good luck the rest of the way!

It's #OpeningDay! Good luck to @MNTwinsMagic @BJMagicNumber @Astros_MN @KCMagicNumber @AtlMagicNumber @ClevelandMagic @NYMetsMagicNum @MagicPhillies @RangersMagicNum @DodgersMagic (161 😢) @AZDBmagicnumber but not @BrewersMagicNum 😉 Enjoy the season and #GoCubsGo!

Not how any of us would have written it but they're in Magic Number: 0

@Savage76Patriot Dang dude. Any word on when it might be back?

@AtlMagicNumber I have been too. Helene has me with power and have since Friday morning at 4

Sorry folks I've been having internet troubles. Diamondbacks lose. Magic Number is 1

Here is your primer for every scenario that can happen in the National League today and the outcome. Currently, a Mets-Braves doubleheader is scheduled for Atlanta on Monday. Important to note: It’s unlikely that a game Monday that would affect seeding only would be played, though MLB still has yet to make that official, according to sources. Scenario 1: Braves win, Mets win, Diamondbacks win Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win the first game, they are in — and would be tied with Atlanta in record and head-to-head. The likelihood is they would not play the second game, as it would be for seeding purposes only. If the Mets lose Game 1 and win Game 2, they are in. If not, the Diamondbacks are in Scenario 2: Braves win, Mets win, Diamondbacks lose Outcome: Braves are in and play San Diego on Tuesday. Mets are in and play Milwaukee on Tuesday. Diamondbacks are out. No doubleheader Monday. Scenario 3: Braves win, Mets lose, Diamondbacks win Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win both doubleheader games, they are in. If the Mets lose either game, Diamondbacks are in. Scenario 4: Braves win, Mets lose, Diamondbacks lose Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win either game, they are in. If they lose both, the Diamondbacks are in. Scenario 5: Braves lose, Mets win, Diamondbacks win Outcome: Both games will be played Monday. The winner of Game 1 is in. If the loser of Game 1 wins Game 2, it is in as well. If a team is swept, it is out and the Diamondbacks are in. Scenario 6: Braves lose, Mets wins, Diamondbacks lose Outcome: Braves are in and play San Diego on Tuesday. Mets are in and play Milwaukee on Tuesday. Diamondbacks are out. No doubleheader Monday. Scenario 7: Braves lose, Mets lose, Diamondbacks win Outcome: Diamondbacks are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Braves win either game, they are in. If the Mets win both doubleheader games, they are in and would face San Diego. Scenario 8: Braves lose, Mets lose, Diamondbacks lose Outcome: Braves are in and at least one game is necessary Monday. If the Mets win either game, they are in. If they lose both, the Diamondbacks are in. The upshot: The Braves are in a very good position. The Mets control their own destiny. And the Diamondbacks need quite a bit of help.

@DeacPB I don't think it's clear enough to say.

@AtlMagicNumber Depends… do we want Milwaukee then Philly or SD then LAD?

Need a Mets win and Diamondbacks loss to eliminate AZ and make Monday unnecessary. Feels icky to root for the Mets but we do what have to.

@Roger_Tiller From what I understand they won't be played just for seeding purposes

@AtlMagicNumber Wouldn't the Monday games be necessary for seeding either way?

@Savage76Patriot I think having a day off tomorrow would be huge for the Braves. That said respect this energy.

@AtlMagicNumber I’m not rooting for the Mets. We win we clinch right? So idgaf if the Mets win or not. We, if we win, make the playoffs. I ain’t EVER gonna root for a rival

@CelphConcepts Not necessary

@AtlMagicNumber Is that with a Braves win or is that not a necessity for this scenario

ICYMI

@bravemanfan I'd rather not but yes

@AtlMagicNumber If neither happens, would have to beat Mets at least once Monday I assume.

@AtlMagicNumber A win or Dbacks loss Sunday= playoffs ?

@SpecialJ312 @MLB @Braves @charlottesweb No cap x.com/AtlMagicNumber…

@MLB @Braves @charlottesweb @AtlMagicNumber true?

The @Braves will enter Sunday with a magic number of ONE to clinch an NL Wild Card spot.
