All that for a Luke Bryan concert?
Atlanta Braves fans are going through a tough time right now, with the team fighting for a wild card spot while injuries continue to mount. After losing outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. and starting pitcher Spencer Strider early in the year to season-ending injuries, they’re also currently without second baseman Ozzie Albies, who is expected to return from a wrist fracture sometime next month.
And most recently, third baseman Austin Riley suffered a fractured hand that’s expected to keep him out for most of the remaining regular season.
Yeah, things are tough for the Braves right now. In fact it’s so bad that even the field is injured.
Luke Bryan was at Truist Park over the weekend for a stop on his Mind of A Country Boy tour. And with recent rain in Atlanta, the show ended up leaving the outfield of the park in pretty rough shape.
They had a concert at Truist Park and it rained beforehand, and the result is the worst looking outfield I’ve seen in the majors in recent memory. pic.twitter.com/DkR2UYfUXE

Well naturally Braves fans, who are already down pretty bad, had some pretty easy jokes about Luke Bryan to make about the situation:
Luke Bryan is a Georgia Southern grad who cosplays as a UGA fan and he fucked up the Braves outfield, what are you waiting for @GBI_GA https://t.co/I26TwI2F0J

Luke Bryan fucked up our outfield almost as bad as he fucked up country music https://t.co/I2kv29nOUY

It wasn’t enough for Luke Bryan to ruin country music. Now he’s destroying Truist. https://t.co/0AFDmQZUbh
