Mysterious Spencer Schwellenbach: Decoding the ‘Braves Lost Because of Him’ Curse Leaves Atlanta Fans Confused

The Curse No One Saw Coming

Is it just bad luck… or is Spencer Schwellenbach secretly the reason behind the Atlanta Braves’ recent heartbreaks? That’s the question Braves Nation is obsessing over after an oddly timed pattern has fans whispering about “The Schwellenbach Curse.”

Despite being one of the franchise’s most hyped young pitchers, Spencer is now at the center of a wild conspiracy theory that’s gone viral:

Every time he steps on the mound, something weird happens — and somehow, the Braves lose.

Let’s Break Down the Madness

Fans on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) have compiled suspicious data points from games and scrimmages where Spencer appeared:

• Braves errors spike during his innings
• Bats go cold mysteriously during games he starts
• A weird fog rolled into Truist Park the exact moment he entered one game
• And one time, a pigeon flew across the mound twice mid-pitch — twice

One user posted:

“I’m not saying he’s cursed. I’m saying the universe gets… glitchy when he pitches.”

The Locker Room Avoids the Topic

Players and coaches have been oddly silent about the rumors. When asked directly about the “curse,” one anonymous Brave reportedly responded:

“Look, man, we love Spencer. But… things happen when he pitches. Unexplainable things.”

Meanwhile, Schwellenbach himself?
He simply smiled and said:

“I just throw the ball. Whatever happens after that… isn’t up to me.”

Cryptic. Too cryptic?

Atlanta Divided

The fanbase is split:

• Half believe the curse is real and want the team to use him in reverse-game situations (e.g., pitch only if trailing by 10)
• The other half believes he’s just a misunderstood baseball prodigy whose “curse” is actually a blessing waiting to evolve

One fan even tweeted:

“What if Spencer is absorbing all the bad luck so the rest of the team can shine? He’s a hero. A weird, spooky hero.”

MLB Weighs In

A league official jokingly responded to the rumors by saying:

“Unless he’s summoning fog and pigeons on command, we’re chalking this up to coincidence… for now.”

Is It All In Our Heads? Or Is He Really the Glitch?

Whether it’s psychological, statistical coincidence, or true baseball voodoo, one thing is clear — every eye will be on Spencer Schwellenbach the next time he steps on the mound.

Because if the lights flicker… if the bats fall silent… or if the Braves lose again…

The legend of “The Curse of Schwellenbach” will only grow.
