    Atlanta Braves Clippings Monday, September 21, 2020 Braves.com Wright baffles Mets in 6 1/3-inning, 1-hit gem By Mark Bowman Ronald Acuña Jr. was bound to right himself before the postseason arrived. But the fact Kyle Wright has also started the regular season’s home stretch on a good note gives the Braves even more reason to be excited about what October might bring. Acuña’s solo homer provided all of the necessary support for Wright, who constructed a career-best start in the Braves’ 7-0 win over the Mets on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The right-hander’s confidence has grown significantly as he’s used his past two starts to show he has the potential to lessen concerns about the postseason rotation. “He’s been tremendous,” said catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who hit a two-run double in the eighth inning. “His demeanor on the mound and his demeanor in between innings, he’s been carrying himself really well. He’s just been attacking guys.” The Braves’ magic number to clinch a third consecutive National League East title has been reduced to six with seven games remaining, four of which will be played against the second-place Marlins this week. Looking ahead to the postseason, the Braves’ rotation will likely include Max Fried, Ian Anderson, Cole Hamels and Wright, who had essentially been a candidate by default before he produced two of the strongest starts of his young career over the past eight days. Wright earned his first career win with six strong innings at Nationals Park last weekend.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, September 18, 2020 Braves.com Cy Young poll: The 2020 favorites are ... By David Adler The two Cy Young Award races this year are completely different, but both are coming into focus as the 2020 season gets down to the wire. In the American League, Shane Bieber has dominated since Opening Day. The National League race has been much more wide open, but a trio of front-runners has emerged in Yu Darvish, Jacob deGrom and Trevor Bauer. Who deserves to be named each league's best pitcher? We put it up to the voters. MLB.com asked its reporters and analysts to fill out their 2020 NL and AL Cy Young Award ballots, following our MVP poll last week. There were 38 voters in total. Reporters were asked to rank their top five choices in each league, with five points awarded for a first-place vote, four for second, etc. Here are the MLB.com picks for the AL and NL Cy Young Award winners. AMERICAN LEAGUE 1) Shane Bieber, Indians (38 first-place votes, unanimous) It's no surprise that Bieber was the pick to win the AL Cy Young Award. Really, it's not even much of a surprise that he was the unanimous No. 1 choice. That's how good Bieber has been. The Indians ace isn't just the AL Cy Young favorite, he could get real AL MVP Award consideration. Bieber is in position to win a pitching Triple Crown, as he leads the Major Leagues with eight wins and 112 strikeouts and is second with a 1.74 ERA.

The New Open Forum: Social Media Use in Georgia Gubernatorial Elections An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Political Science and International Studies By: John Mack Under the mentorship of Dr. Patrick Novotny ABSTRACT In 2018, Georgia saw one of the most contested elections in recent memory with Brian Kemp narrowly defeating Stacey Abrams. As a part of that election, social media would play a critical role in how campaigns are run. This thesis takes a look at previous literature on voter turnout and social media. This thesis asks: How did the campaigns use social media to spread their message, and in what stage of the election was social media most effective? To answer that question this thesis features a content analysis of Facebook posts and Tweets from the 2018 elections compared to posts in the 2014 elections to answer my question and to see how campaigning on social media has evolved since 2014.

    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ February 2019 By Dave Badertscher; photos by Linda Lovejoy The Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club held its annual Gameboree banquet and fundraiser on Saturday, January 19, 2019, at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest at Galleria. This year’s theme was “All-Stars, Gold Gloves and National League Honors.” More than 180 Braves fans, honored guests, and Braves officials turned out for the Fan Club’s largest event of the year. Emcee Paul Byrd (pictured below) was a big hit. The reception and silent auction opened at 5:00 with a fine selection of Braves and other baseball memorabilia. Thanks go to Silent Auction and Raffle Coordinator Nate Morgan and his crew, as well as to Fan Club members who generously donated items. As usual, all proceeds go to the Phil Niekro Scholarship Fund. This year guests in the Auction Room were entertained by Braves organist Matthew Kaminski. Quite a nice treat! Once everyone was seated for dinner in the Cobb Ballroom, Fan Club President Howard Evans introduced the guests and award winners at the head table. Atlanta’s favorite tenor, Timothy Miller, sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” During dinner folks enjoyed a slide presentation highlighting the Fan Club’s many fun and worthwhile activities over the past year. Following dinner, Howard thanked Club members who were involved in planning, organizing, and setting up this year’s event, especially Gameboree Program Coordinator Wayne Coleman and Logistics Coordinator Judy Messer. Howard talked about upcoming Club activities in 2019, including six monthly social gatherings in the SunTrust Cabanas, our Major League trip to Washington, DC, on June 21-23, and minor league trips to see the Rome Braves and the Gwinnett Stripers this summer.
