"The braves might suck but we can always count on beating the absolute s**t out of the marlins," "I think the Braves should simply play the Marlins every game" - Atlanta Braves fans rip into the Miami Marlins during Friday night's blowout game
The Atlanta Braves take on the Miami Marlins in a three-game set this weekend. The Braves haven't looked like defending World Series champions so far. They're 17-21 this season and have lost four of their last six games. Even with All-Star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. back, the Braves just can't seem to build winning momentum.
But now they're in Miami, and it might be the perfect opportunity get a win snowball rolling. At the time of writing, they're up 5-3 on the Miami Marlins in the seventh inning. However, the Braves asserted their dominance early in this one. In the third inning, they were up 5-1.
This is the kind of performance Atlanta Braves fans have been craving, and they showed their appreciation on Twitter. Here's some of their best reactions.

"Playing the Marlins in Miami is all it took for the Braves to remember how to hit. You love to see it." - @Joe
This user thinks the Marlins enjoy losing as much as the Braves do winning. We're not so sure, but it's a kind thought.

From reading these Tweets, you'd think the Marlins had been swept by the Atlanta Braves so far. Quite the opposite is true. Going into tonight's game, they'd won two out of their three games against Atlanta this season. Tonight might be a write-off, but they'll look to get things going this weekend.
