Announcer ‘apologizes’ to Braves fans for terrible prediction; immediately predicts Braves loss
Joey Votto apologized to Braves fans, immediately predicted a Braves loss then took back the apology.
Atlanta Braves announcer Joey Votto initially apologized to fans for incorrectly predicting they wouldn't score another run during their Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Moments later, second baseman Ozzie Albies hit a two-run home run, proving Votto wrong. Votto later posted a sincere apology on X, expressing his regret for dismissing the Braves' offense and predicting a loss in their next series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
However, Votto later clarified he didn't really mean the apology. During an interview, Votto admitted he received feedback that he seemed to be a "bum." Votto played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball, winning two playoff games, but had a batting average of .000 during their 2013 playoff run.
