Weiss Era Off to Perfect Start

On March 28th, Walt Weiss just stepped into the manager's seat for the Atlanta Braves,

and he kicked things off right with a six-nothing shut-out win over the Royals in their opener.

It's a big deal because the Braves haven't had many guys in that role over the last 30 years,

and Weiss knows he carries some heavy legacy. He took over from Brian Snicker,

who brought home a World Series title in 2021. Before that,

Freddie Gonzalez ran things from 2010 to 16, and Bobby Cox held it down for two full decades

prior. Weiss even played under Cox in his last three pro seasons and spent eight years

of Snicker's bench-coach. Everyone's hyped about it. Snicker called Weiss the best,

a top baseball mind and solid person who'd crushed this job.

pitcher Chris Sale, who dominated with six scoreless innings and six strikeouts,

said the clubhouse loves fighting for him because he fights for them.

They even had a fun surprise celebration. The vibe was perfect,

with Weiss missing a ceremonial putt, but nailing the win to squash any talk of another 0-7 start.

Sale kept the party detail secret, but it showed the teams all in from day one.

Now the Weiss era's rolling strong at one and zero,

setting up the braze for what could be another deep run.
