Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Sunday was a busy day on and off the field for the Braves, but an overall really positive day. Atlanta was able to get the win over the Rockies, as Spencer Strider was a bit shaky in his first start of the season. The Braves swept the Rockies, mainly thanks to elite offense to continue […]
Legendary sports announcer John Sterling, best known for his more than 35-year career as a New York Yankees announcer, has passed away at age 87. Sterling was most notable to Atlanta Braves fans as one of the team’s announcers from 1982 through 1987 and is best known to many for his call of the infamous […]
Free agency and the NFL Draft bring a host of new players to the Atlanta Falcons, with new opportunities abounding for new additions. That does mean that some incumbent Falcons are going to have to fight for their jobs this summer, however, and some might have a very uphill sort of battle to wage. Here […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Joe Borowski, and a mighty host of others. He probably doesn’t like Star Wars, either. Today in baseball history, in 1963, Bob Shaw of the Milwaukee Braves sets a major league record by committing five balks. In the third inning, Shaw walks Billy Williams and sends him home with three straight balks. […]
The 2025-26 season for the Hawks is now in the books, and now focus turns to the status of the upcoming free agents and a head coach who is entering the final year of his contract. Among the free agents is veteran scoring guard CJ McCollum who will turn 35 this offseason. His play down […]
The Atlanta Hawks traded for Jonathan Kuminga at the deadline, but they have immediate work to do to sort out his future.
As long as baseball continues to be played at altitude in Coors Field, there will be the potential for a whole bushel of runs to be scored in any given game. With the Atlanta Braves running as hot as they have to start this season, there was plenty of potential for the Braves to put […]
The Atlanta Braves are currently one of both the best and hottest teams in baseball, and the Colorado Rockies couldn’t stand in their way. The Braves came into Coors Field and successfully swept the Rockies in three games, winning the Sunday series finale 11-6 as their excellent offense took advantage of basically every mistake and […]
After letting a sweep slip through their hands on Thursday, the Braves heaped another hurting on the Rockies, scoring 11 runs en route to a blowout win in Spencer Strider’s 2026 debut. Let’s start with Strider, because besides “yeah this offense rules” and some interesting bullpen stuff, this game felt like a fait accompli at […]
The Atlanta Braves announced that pitcher Jose Suarez was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners and reliever Joel Payamps was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Both pitchers were designed for assignment by Atlanta on May 1. Suarez had pitched in six games with the Braves, making one start and collecting one three-inning save. He struck […]
With Ronald Acuña Jr. now on the Injured List with a hamstring issue, the Braves are reshuffling their lineup. Notable change #1: Mauricio Dubon is now the leadoff hitter. Notable change #2: with a lefty on the hill, Jose Azocar gets the start in right field. The rest of the lineup is kind of as expected […]
A wild postseason has come to an end for the Atlanta Hawks, setting them up for a great run next season.
Another series, another series win, and another chance for a Braves sweep. After winning a series with some late-inning heroics back in Atlanta and then letting the Tigers salvage the final game, the Braves have once again taken a series with the help of a roaring comeback and will go for another sweep on Sunday […]
I didn’t really know (or care to know) anything about Anthony Molina before this week. The only really notable thing about him is that he pitched in the Colorado Rockies organization. The Braves have a thing for Rockies relievers. He doesn’t really strikeout anybody (career 15% K rate), had a 6.82 career ERA, and didn’t […]
Matt Olson has been absolutely crushing the ball this season. Through roughly 20% of the season, he is on pace for 55 homers and 65 doubles. He has a monster 171 wRC+, plays elite defense at the first base position, and is leading the NL in fWAR. With Olson leading the way, Drake Baldwin, Michael […]
The Colorado Rockies were hoping their offense would take flight after last night’s showing, but unfortunately it did not. Instead, the offense was limited to just four hits, while Chase Dollander got roughed up for the first time this season. Playing from behind Brennan Bernardino served as the opener, and he left Dollander with a […]
With a chance to secure the series win, the Braves had ace Chris Sale on the mound at Coors Field with young Rockies star Chase Dollander expected to take the mound after an opener. The Braves followed my recommendation in the first inning, jumping on the opener Brennan Bernardino, as Ronald hit a line drive […]
Let’s beat the Rockies again tonight, but maybe don’t go down 5-0 in the first inning this time. Join us and discuss tonight’s game in the comments below! Game Info Game Date/Time: Saturday, May 2, 8:10 p.m. EDT Location: Coors Field, Denver, CO TV: BravesVision Streaming: MLB.tv (and Braves.tv if you’re in-market, etc.) Radio: 680 AM / 93.7 FM The […]
Considering how the 2025 campaign began, the start of the 2026 Braves season has been a breath of fresh air for everyone who is invested. That must be particularly true for Braves general manager and president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos. A streak of seven straight postseason appearances which began in his second season with […]
After an epic comeback victory in game 1, the Braves will hope to secure yet another series win behind their ace against a Rockies team that is generally not good but has been competitive this season. Chris Sale has been great this season, despite one of his career-worst starts against the Angels. Coors can always […]
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have a 7.5 game lead and refuse to lose a series, have made a roster move before tonight’s game with the Colorado Rockies. Anthony Molina was helpful in last night’s come-from-behind win for the never-say-die, put-them-in-a-Walt-Weiss-sleeper-hold Braves. He pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh inning with a walk […]
Although the Hawks are a laughing stock after losing to the New York Knicks in six games, their future is still one of the brightest in the league.
The Rockies definitely had the Braves for the first seven innings. Ah but in the last three games, the leading team didn’t finish the job. Michael Harris II was headed for the Injured List as well, don’t you know. Then, he came on to pinch hit. Yup, pretty standard Braves heroics at the end. Here […]
The Atlanta Braves announced a few moves prior to Friday evening’s game in Colorado, beginning with recalling right-hander Hunter Stratton to Atlanta. The club also selected the contract of fellow righty Anthony Molina. Things were not as fortunate for Joel Payamps and José Suarez, who were each designated for assignment. Stratton has yet to make […]
The Colorado Rockies came out hot. The Atlanta Braves stirred in the fourth, pushed again in the seventh, and fully woke up in the eighth and ninth. A 6-0 Colorado lead became an 8-6 loss at Coors Field. The Braves improved to 23-10, while the Rockies fell to 14-19. For a while, it looked like […]
