The beginning of the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds game was delayed Monday night due to storms in the Cincinnati area.
In order to kill some time waiting for the baseball to begin, the Braves and Reds Twitter accounts tweeted up a storm of their own.
Things started off with the Reds trying to tell the Braves a knock-knock joke, but the Braves didn't seem to understand how those work.
The Cleveland Indians Twitter even got involved, because they have nothing better to do with Monday being an off day.
Hey @Braves .. Knock Knock...

As far as knock-knock jokes go, that one is right up there with the worst of them.
From knock-knock jokes, the two teams decided to play a little catch with the Reds throwing an Aroldis Chapman fastball right in the Braves grill.
The Braves caught it and the two teams threw the ball back and forth for a bit.
