The Braves introduced Blooper, their new mascot, at Chop Fest on Saturday at SunTrust Park.
Blooper, who resembled a more-tamed version of the Phillie Phanatic, popped out of a machine to the applause of a mostly young crowd. It held a meet and greet with fans afterwards.
Reactions to the latest addition to the Braves organization have not been overly positive.
.@sometacolady said the Braves new mascot looks like Beaker. I think sheβs onto something there pic.twitter.com/sD1hTKZYAV

Dawg I got myself excited over the Braves new mascot and they managed to let me down Georgia sports out here attacking me Iβm moving to Antarctica where sports donβt exist

Well...it could have been worse. The little kids do seem to love him which is the only point, I guess. https://t.co/xJHuRL4TGx

@Braves So you spend all winter coming up with and promoting a new mascot and this is the best you could do? SMDH

I'd drive through Atlanta traffic to see him.

As a @Braves fan, I'm disappointed in the new mascot. It looks like we ripped off the Philly Phanatic. What was wrong with Homer? #bringbackhomer #chopfest pic.twitter.com/m85N2eFsHK

"We're looking for a new mascot, ladies and gents. Ideas?"
β J.P. Breen (@JP_Breen) January 27, 2018
"What about an animal of some kind?"
"No, that's dumb. How about good ideas?"
**silence**
"... um... how about, like, the Philly Phanatic, but a little worse and with a bad name?"
"I love it." https://t.co/UiJe1q9z1d
To say Braves country is disappointed in the new mascot would be a massive understatement pic.twitter.com/u7K4YuHYCf

The Braves new mascot, Blooper is John Coppolella. The Front Office is forcing him into a new role to repay team for past rule infractions.
Good on them for bringing Matt Kemp back RT @GabeBurns_: Here is Blooper, the #Braves new mascot. pic.twitter.com/v939jzF8in

New park, new mascot? Nope. Just gonna watch on tv. My love for baseball will never fade, the Braves on the other hand. I miss the old days. Chipper days.

As if the Braves werenβt already hopeless enough, they named the new mascot blooper....
