ATLANTA -- While the baseball world starts to zero in on Cobb County, Ga., as the locale for a great emerging story in the 2018 season, the Atlanta Braves almost to a man stick to the vanilla mantra uttered by manager Brian Snitker on a near daily basis.
"Today is our biggest game of the season," Snitker loves to say. "Then tomorrow's will be as well."
It's a modest variation of the "we play them one game at a time cliche" made famous in "Bull Durham" about 30 years ago. The thing is, the young Braves seem to have turned that cliche into a mission statement.
