The New York Knicks enter the playoffs off a strong season that saw them finish as a top-five offense and top-ten defense. Now, with a championship in their sights, our heroes open their first-round series against a retooled Atlanta Hawks team that has benefited from breakout seasons by Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, veteran scoring […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Braves: Let’s talk about it.
The Braves have a chance to lock in another series victory to start this 2026 season, and taking home a series W in Philly would be a really nice thing to bank. They’ll have two chances to secure the series win, but today we have a massive pitching matchup between the top two lefties in […]
Well the Braves were able to absolutely cruise to a game 1 victory in Philly behind Martin Perez and Jose Suarez, who combined for 9.0 shutout innings. The offense broke out for 9 runs and Austin Riley hit 2 homers, a very promising sign. Beating up on Taijuan Walker is one thing, but we will […]
Knicks. Hawks. Game 1. Let’s go! Mike Brown On focusing on the Knicks’ strengths:“Obviously, you respect what you’ve done all year. The neat part about it is we’ve faced a lot of different things. We’ve faced cross-matches, we’ve faced teams playing us the same, we’ve faced zone, we’ve faced box-and-1. So to be able to […]
Editor’s note: part 1 of this Knicks series preview can be found here. The key matchups: Nickeil Alexander-Walker Let’s look on the Hawks’ side of things, starting with Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who averaged 28 points per game on 51% from the field, 45% from three on 11 attempts, and 84% from the line on over four […]
All told, it was a mixed bag of results down on the farm on Friday, as Atlanta’s four minor league affiliates split their contests and went 2-2 on the night. However, there were a handful of individual performances that stood out. (12-7) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (13-6) Memphis Redbirds 5 Box Score It’s hard to get […]
The Phillies fans are pretty much over Taijian Walker. He’s yet to escape the first inning this year without allowing multiple runs. He’s on the final year of a four year, 72 million dollar contract. It’s been 3 plus seasons of 4.97/5.29/4.88 ball with 1.5 WAR (before last night’s shelling). Phillies fans want him gone, […]
The Falcons have limited draft capital and a lot of needs in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. Kevin Knight is joined by Thor Nystrom to discuss Atlanta’s new brain trust, draft strategy with no first rounder and only five picks, and top targets for the Falcons on Day 2. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode […]
Here we go! The playoffs have arrived and our beloved Knickerbockers are expected by many to make a deep postseason run. Will they? Won’t they? As usual, the Posting & Toasting crew has reconvened for a round(ball) table discussion to weigh in on the biggest questions surrounding the Knicks’ first-round matchup with the pesky Atlanta […]
Friday afternoon, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to trade defensive tackle Maason Smith to the Atlanta Falcons for defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro. ESPN first reported on the news of the player-for-player trade that saw the two teams swap DTs who had fallen out of favor with their respective new front offices. While trade details have yet […]
The wait is over. The New York Knicks’ 80th campaign was a grueling 82-game marathon (83 if you count that Vegas scrimmage), but by almost every measure, it was a success. They finished 53-29, tying for the tenth-best winning percentage in franchise history; finished with a top-five offense and a top-ten defense; and claimed the […]
The Atlanta Braves opened the road trip on a high note and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 9-0. Martín Pérez got the start and threw a sharp six innings, where he allowed just four hits. He issued two walks and struck out four. José Suarez took over in the seventh and completed the shutout. Things went […]
The Phillies stunk something awful tonight. The offense decided not to show up yet again, a theme that is starting to become a recurring one, but that should course correct in due time. What isn’t going to course correct itself is that Taijuan Walker again put his team behind in the first inning and then […]
The Atlanta Braves entered Friday’s series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies hot. The Phillies…did not. That showed up on the field as the Braves jumped out to a big lead early and coasted to a 9-0 throttling of the Phillies in the first game of the three-game set at Citizens Bank Park, earning their major-league-leading […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ first trade of the 2026 offseason is officially in the books! The Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons have exchanged third-year defensive tackles. Ruke Orhorhoro (Oh-row-row-row), the 35th overall pick in 2024, is now headed to Duval. Maason Smith, the 48th pick in the same draft class, is en route to the ATL. Over […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Braves: Let’s talk about it.
Another right-handed starter on the mound means another start for Dominic Smith in the Braves lineup for Friday night’s opener of the road series against the Phillies. Smith, who is still on a torrid start to his Braves tenure, will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter with Philadelphia starting veteran Taijuan Walker on […]
It isn’t very often that you see two players from the same draft class traded for one another just two years after they were drafted, and it’s even less often that you see that happen with a player one franchise moved up for in that particular draft class. Yet Adam Schefter is reporting that the […]
Over the past couple of weeks, the Phillies have established a pattern: They’ll play well in one game of a three-game series and make a ton of mistakes in the others. They would do well to reverse that pattern – or even better, avoid the mistake-prone games altogether – because the first place Braves are […]
It’s been quite an eventful week for Martin Perez. After allowing one run over five innings in the Braves’ 6-0 loss to Cleveland on Saturday, he was designated for assignment but elected free agency when he cleared waivers on Tuesday. However, he rejoined the Braves on a minor league contract Wednesday and was officially brought […]
This weekend, the first place Atlanta Braves come to Citizens Bank Park to take on a struggling Phillies team that is falling short in virtually every phase of the game. It’s been a rough go for the Phils, losers of their last three home series, a shocking development given they only lost three home series […]
“Biweekly” is kind of a dumb word. It means both “twice a week” and “once every two weeks,” and apparently, there’s no effort to create a new word to mean one of those, so that “biweekly” can be reserved for the other. To be clear, by “biweekly” here, I mean “every two weeks.” In the […]
Upon the release of the injury report for the Atlanta Hawks’ final regular season game against the Miami Heat, two conclusions could’ve be drawn: the Hawks wanted to face the New Yorks in the first round and allow the Toronto Raptors to move into the 5-seed — or the Hawks didn’t care who they faced […]
