Braves fans react to Player’s Weekend nicknames

The Atlanta Braves released the nicknames and jerseys the team will wear during Player’s Weekend Aug. 25-27 on Wednesday.

Twitter erupted with mixed feelings about the jerseys and nickname idea:

That big sexy jersey woulda been fresh. Bartolo 🔥

I think that @FreddieFreeman5 's jersey should say "FFF" for Freddie Freaking Freeman! That's what we call him in my house anyway. #FFF #MVP

I wish Ender's was Game Ender 😁

So Braves fans are unhappy with the nicknames the players are using. We don't know these guys. We don't know what their friends call them.

These jerseys need to be a main alternate! Hate the nicknames idea though.
