As if I wasn’t already depressed enough that my favorite MLB team, the Atlanta Braves, were knocked out of the playoffs earlier this week, I have to also deal with their neglect on social media.

At the time, spirits should have been high, and online engagement with fans (like me) should have been higher.

Now it’s too late. The team and personnel surrounding the organization is done with the season. I bet they all take a lengthy hiatus from any engagement whatsoever and return just weeks before next season starts.
I hope you can live with yourself, Braves. Not only did you lose a pivotal series, but you also lost a follower online.
