June swoon is OUT. Fly high July is IN. We would very much like to see the Braves get back to playing watchable baseball. Decent, even, if they feel so inclined. With a rough month in the rearview, it’s time for the Braves to take advantage of a little mental reset that the first of […]

The Detroit Pistons trading Isaiah Stewart for three second-round draft picks doesn’t look great after signing John Collins.
Someone (rightfully) corrected me that the Sunday series finale versus the Giants was not the end of June, as we had one more left to play on June 30. In my defense, I was thinking it was the last series of the month, and thus it was basically done. Well, June said “I got one […]

The Atlanta Hawks should look to complete a sign-and-trade with Jonathan Kuminga, rather than lose his services for nothing.
Buccaneers Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles believes the team got a steal in rookie OLB Rueben Bain, Jr., and said that not only is he physically gifted, but he also displays great leadership qualities, even if he’s not in that role yet. “I’m extremely grateful,” Bowles said, via Tampa Bay Times. “Just seeing him in person, there’s size and […]

With the calendar flipping from June to July, that means that the MLB All-Star Game is now on the immediate horizon along with the MLB Draft as well. The intersection of all of that is the All-Star Futures Game, where some of the most promising prospects in all of baseball get to showcase their skills […]
The crowned jewel of the trade deadline will be the reigning back-to-back AL Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal. There’s an off chance the Tigers decide not to move him if they get back into playoff contention over the next month, but even that might not be enough. Detroit knows they have no chance of […]
Atlético de Madrid confirmed Wednesday that long-serving captain Jorge Resurreción Merodio “Koke” has signed a one-year contract renewal to continue playing for the club of his life in the 2026/27 season. Koke, 34, reportedly had been subject to intense interest from MLS side Atlanta United in recent weeks. But Atlético’s all-time leader in appearances has […]
The Braves have lost their momentum and desperately need some struggling bats to turn things around.
Before we get into this, let’s address the elephant in the room. With all due respect to the accomplished USA Today MLB columnist Bob Nightengale, we all know to take this type of stuff with a huge grain of salt. With that being said, this is a link that’s been made by multiple MLB reporters […]
AJ Smith-Shawver is finally back on the mound following his Tommy John Surgery, and he went down to Augusta where he had his breakout campaign a few years ago. Smith-Shawver looked great with his fastball touching 98 in the first inning, and he did so well he was run out for three innings. All of […]
The Braves are desperately looking for anything positive to hang onto right now, and their best hope is guys returning from injury. After spending some time in Florida, AJ Smith-Shawver officially began his rehab assignment with the Augusta Green Jackets last night, tossing three innings and allowing just one run with four strikeouts. We missed […]
In the span of a month, the Braves have turned into a team that’s painful to watch for three hours every night. The rotation is disgusting, the offense belongs in Triple-A. The bullpen… well, we’re not talking about the few good things right now. All of that continued on Tuesday night as the Braves opened […]
Real Salt Lake didn't wait for the secondary transfer window to come to them.
Atlanta Braves right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver returned to the lineup card and made a rehab appearance for the Augusta GreenJackets on Tuesday evening. He underwent Tommy John surgery a little over a year ago and is ramping up just in time to contribute to the struggling Braves’ rotation. During Tuesday’s outing, Smith-Shawver threw three innings of […]

The Celtics will compete with the Hawks, Hornets, Bulls, and Wizards in the East's Group C this year in the NBA Cup.
There’s a baseball saying you may have heard: “you can’t walk off the island.” While it generally pertains to MLB’s international free agency system in reference to the Caribbean, the Braves lived their own version of it tonight in a 5-3 loss to the Cardinals: maybe some teams can walk their way to a win, […]
Matthew Liberatore teetered on the edge a few times, but at the end of the day gave the St. Louis Cardinals the outing they and he needed. The Cardinals offense finally came uncorked in the 4th inning to provide the runs to give St. Louis a win in Atlanta Wednesday night, but the late innings […]
You can’t really end June on a particularly high note if you’re the Braves, given the standard you’ve set… but a win’s better than not a win and a loss would, once again, suck.
The St. Louis Cardinals will begin a difficult road trip as they’ll visit the NL East division-leading Atlanta Braves. Matthew Liberatore will try again as he is the scheduled starter for the Cardinals. The Atlanta Braves starter is unannounced as of now. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15pm central time at Truist Park in Atlanta. […]
The Braves and Cardinals should look to make trades sooner rather than later, given how they've been playing.
