The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves will open their highly-anticipated National League Division Series matchup on Saturday, and the Braves’ mascot is ready — maybe a bit too ready.

Braves mascot Blooper has an X account under his name that is often used to share an array of thoughts and musings. On Friday, the account tweeted “one more day” in anticipation of the start of the NLDS. Naturally, some Phillies fans quickly invaded Blooper’s mentions, with one even responding “til your death.”

That did not sit well with the Braves mascot, who sent out a series of messages critical of Phillies fans and the Philly Phanatic.

This was probably meant to be in fun, but it is really just a classic example of feeding the trolls. Phillies fans will definitely consider it a win that they managed to get such a rise out of a rival mascot.

The Phillies and Braves are both playing great baseball, and the Braves will want to avenge last year’s NLDS loss. The rivalry has even taken a bit of a personal turn, too. That would even seem to apply to the mascots.
