How much will Braves.TV cost?

A completely pointless exercise, as we’ll find out soon enough, but I’m curious what you all think. Current MLB.tv-based single-team packages are about $20 per month. This includes things branded exactly the same as Braves.TV, like “Padres.TV” and “Giants.TV.” Braves.TV might offer more than the games, though I’m not sure it’s going to have an […]

Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’re four days into the Grapefruit League season, still at the point where every team has roughly 10,000 players in camp and the regulars are getting sporadic half-days of work. That’s good, because yesterday’s 10-7 loss to the Braves was not the most sterling pitching performance for the Birds. The O’s […]

Braves pitching keeps strong Orioles starting lineup quiet in spring action

The Atlanta Braves didn’t send a particularly imposing group of players to Sarasota to face off against the Baltimore Orioles but that didn’t matter too much in the end.

When did you become a true Rays fan, and why?

Was it as simple as you were living nearby? I grew up on the Space Coast, just 2 hours away from Tampa and seemingly 3 from St. Petersburg, in a family that stayed loyal to the Braves over the Marlins over the years — but I was the perfect age to become a Rays fan, […]
