In past years, the Falcons have had to be concerned about losing key offensive assistants to other teams, with Kyle Shanahan leaving his post as Falcons offensive coordinator for a job as the 49ers head coach, former quarterbacks coach Charles London taking other opportunities, and fans preparing themselves to lose Zac Robinson before it became […]
There was a power surge in the system on Wednesday, with home runs flying out all over the place for the Braves affiliates. Two notable guys who are having big years contributed to those numbers with Eric Hartman and Luis Guanipa both going deep for their respective clubs. Yet, it wasn’t a home run that […]
The Braves won another, the Phillies and Mets each lost another, and the division lead is back to 9.0 games, after a brief swoon back down to 7.0 games. They’ll have Spencer Strider on the mound, facing Sandy Alcantara, as they go for the series win in the four-game mid-week series. The loss of Drake […]
Thanks to another big night at the plate (including huge hits from Dominic Smith and Austin Riley) for Atlanta’s lineup and a dominant outing from Chris Sale, the Atlanta Braves were able to take firm control of the series against the Miami Marlins as they sauntered to a comfortable 9-1 victory. In the preview for […]
Falcons News: QB Competition Is On The Atlanta Falcons are entering the 2026 season with two quarterbacks and no clear answer at the most important position on the field. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed this week that Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are splitting first-team reps at organized team activities. The arrangement is deliberate. [...]
The Falcons began their OTAs this week and finally revealed their 2026 schedule. Kevin Knight is joined by Adnan Ikic to discuss the latest news and notes from the first OTA sessions along with thoughts on Atlanta’s 2026 schedule and some early takes on the team’s postseason hopes. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of […]
It’s getting to be that time for the pivotal third game of any four game series. The winner will be in the drivers seat for a series win while the loser will go into tomorrow’s game simply trying to salvage a split. I think we’re all hoping that Chris Sale and the Braves will be […]
The Atlanta Hawks don't need to look any further than their franchise player for confirmation that they can land a star in more than one place this summer.
The Atlanta Braves have released their lineup for tonight’s contest against the Miami Marlins and the lineup is one that looks like another reminder of just how deep this lineup can be on any given day when injuries aren’t completely ravaging the squad. Anyways, here’s the lineup for the Braves: Michael Harris II has moved […]
Most news these days (and, let’s be honest, the past few seasons) feels like it’s been more of the, “You’ll never guess which Brave is going on the Injured List this time!” variety, but this afternoon, I get to make a post with the opposite. Yes, Eli White is back after a brief stay on […]
When guessing who we thought the most consistent pitcher for any affiliate would be this season, few, if anyone, would have guess 18th round pick Aiven Cabral would anchor the Augusta pitching staff. Even as a reliever he has been the player they can rely on for consistent innings, and so far he has recorded […]
I’ve created a bit of a dilemma for myself. (Not Jonah Heim related.) I’m at least reasonably committed to doing the Big Board… but all the questions that I’ve come up with, and that people submitted responses and confidence ratings to, are all scored at the end of the year — except the Braves’ manager […]
As the Atlanta Falcons roster takes shape, visions for both player roles and performances are coming into focus. That certainly applies to young names and new faces looking to establish themselves in Flowery Branch. Who fits the bill for the 2026 team? Below are some worthy options ready to take that leap. OG, Matthew Bergeron […]
The Atlanta Hawks took a chance on Nickeil Alexander-Walker. It only took him one season to prove the Minnesota Timberwolves never should've let him walk.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but eight runs are better than zero. The Braves are back in the win column, winning their 33rd game of the season in Ronald Acuña Jr.’s return to the lineup. The Braves took advantage of command issues from Marlins starter Braxton Garrett, who loaded the bases with no outs to start […]
Good afternoon, folks. Wondering why it’s a 4:10 pm ET game? Me, too. The best explanation I’ve got for you is this tweet from Marlins beat writer Craig Mish: Lucky us, on the other end of this grand experiment. Regardless, here’s hoping the Baldwin-less Braves can even up this four-game set today after last night’s […]
ICYMI: Buster Olney spoke with the folks at 680 The Fan’s Cellini & Dimino on a variety of Braves-related topics yesterday, but none were more buzzy than the following: should the Braves trade for Byron Buxton? It’s been discussed a lot over the years. A two-time All-Star and Georgia native who’d be a great cultural […]
I don’t know about y’all, but the vibes are… not quite dire, but close to it. It’s just year after year of an IL spot barely getting cold after an activation before someone expeditiously takes its place. The baseball gods have seemingly decreed that the Braves will never be allowed to be 100% healthy. Don’t […]
Despite the wonderful start that the Braves are off to here in 2026, the one lingering nuisance from the past two seasons has been the team’s absolutely horrible run of luck when it comes to injuries. The injury bug has now apparently come for Drake Baldwin, who will be heading to the 10-day IL with […]
The brightest side of a 4:10 pm ET start? Not wallowing in the absolute stinker that was last night’s game for a full day. The Braves will be looking to play a Normal game of baseball to deny the Fish a guaranteed series split. Here’s hoping the gloves and bats that didn’t make an appearance […]
The full schedule for all 32 teams in the National Football League came out last week — including all preseason games for each club. Eagle-eyed Dolphins fans quickly spotted a preseason tilt against the Atlanta Falcons taking place on Friday, August 28th at Hard Rock Stadium, which meant former starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa would be […]
Back on October 9th of last year, an announcement came from the Atlanta Braves that may not have raised a ton of eyebrows at the time. However the effects of that move are being felt right now in a very noticeable way in the team’s farm system. That move in question is the Braves parting […]
It’s funny that it happened yesterday for two reasons, at least to me. First, in the recap thread for Sunday’s game, there was a brief exchange about non-competitive games. Using a couple of different methodologies, True2Atlanta and I noted that there have only been four-ish games where the Braves weren’t competitive. I did a method […]
Well that was less than fun. Braves lost 12-0 on Monday against the Marlins. It was the worst loss of the season for the Braves on a rare night where they simply had no answers. While these games happen to all teams at least a few times a year, there is an opportunity for the […]
The Braves started a four game series in Miami with JR Ritchie on the mound, facing Max Meyer for Miami. The first three half-innings were fairly quiet, as both pitchers worked around a baserunner here or there, with a not-so-brief interlude, as the home plate ump was hit in the mask with a foul ball […]
