Can’t say that you can really blame the Braves for not changing anything… did you know they have a better record than the Dodgers right now? This will their fifth time using this lineup in nine games. The Diamondbacks are making a few changes. Adrian Del Castillo missed the first few games of the season […]
Is there a more beloved former Brave than Michael Soroka? (Maybe Freddie Freeman?) Perhaps because the phrase, “What could have been?” peals more sharply with regard to Soroka than anyone else, the fondness for the Canadian giraffe-necked right-hander from this corner, at least, is at its max. But, on Saturday night, the Braves will face […]
Minor League Baseball is officially in full swing as Columbus and Augusta opened their seasons on Friday and the starting pitching for Atlanta’s farm affiliates absolutely dominated across the board. (4-3) Gwinnett Stripers 8, (1-6) Round Rock Express 1 Box Score Simply put, Didier Fuentes look electric in his first start of the season for […]
Game Summary Another Friday night, another tough loss. This week’s episode featured outstanding starting pitching from the hologram himself, Eduardo Rodriguez, as well as some incredible defense. Unfortunately, the offense didn’t come along for the ride and is now riding a streak of 3 runs scored in 27 innings since that 3-run go-ahead bomb off […]
In a game dominated by the two starting pitchers, it was Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson who stepped to the plate with the score 0-0 in the ninth inning and answered the bell to give the Braves their third consecutive win and improve their record on the young season to 6-2. The Braves have now […]
The Atlanta Braves have started the season with three straight series-opening wins after last night’s 17-2 thumping of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now they go for their first three-game winning streak of the season in Game 2 of the four-game series Friday night in Phoenix. Atlanta will give the ball to Grant Holmes as he looks […]

This is unfortunate. The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 40. As if last night’s game wasn’t sucky enough already. Lawlar was hit on the wrist last night, by a pitch in the seventh inning from the Braves’ Osvaldo Bido. Initial X-rays proved negative at the time, but […]
After last night’s offensive explosion which saw the Braves score nearly as many runs (17) as they had in their first six games combined (24), a left-handed starter on the mound for Arizona is forcing Atlanta to switch things up in the lineup. With Eduardo Rodriguez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) taking the mound for the Diamondbacks, […]
We have a trade to talk about, folks — it’s not a big one but it’s a trade, nonetheless! In fact, the Braves have gone back to one of their most frequent trade partners (or at least it feels that way, as ComeBackTedTurner mentioned in the linked Feed post) for another deal: The Los Angeles […]
Folks, I’m gonna say it. Seven games into the 2026 season, the vibes around the Atlanta Braves are getting dangerously high. Maybe it’s just PTSD from the marathon of pain that was the 2025 season, but Thursday night’s 17-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks was some serious catharsis — and whiplash from the strong pitching […]
We’re only a week into this new season and nearly two months overall into the Automated Ball-Strike System and I’ve seen enough. It’s what we all thought it would be, y’all: ABS is a real and true game-changer for Major League Baseball. This is a pretty big benefit for the sport as a whole and […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The Athletics wrapped up their season-opening road trip this week with a series loss to the Atlanta Braves. Combined with the sweep to open the year up in Toronto against the Blue Jays and the A’s are already behind the eight ball with a 1-5 record to begin the year, sitting […]
It probably goes without saying that our collective enjoyment of the Braves would be higher the last few seasons if we didn’t have so many “the [player name] saga,” but, unfortunately, we do. The Reynaldo Lopez saga is definitely a saga, at that, and it’s one that’s had a number of developments lately, what with […]
The Atlanta Braves opened their West Coast road trip with a bang after Thursday night’s 17-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Atlanta lineup racked up 16 hits, and for the first time since 2001, every member of the starting lineup recorded an RBI. It was a successful night for the pitchers, too, who allowed […]
In what quickly became the most lopsided game of the season, the Braves struck early and often against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Thursday night en route to a 17-2 win. The Braves are now 5-2 on the young season, It took until game 17 last year to win five games. Matt Olson […]
Reynaldo López and the Braves are looking for their third consecutive series-opening win against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks. More on the pitching matchup here and today’s lineups here. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 pm ET. We are entering real sicko hours (for us on the East Coast). But unfortunately for me, seeing Wiley […]

Let’s play four in Phoenix. For the third straight game, Walt Weiss has penciled in the same lineup. (And for the second straight series, the Braves social team has used “New series on deck” as the accompanying copy…) I’m mostly interested who, if anyone, plans to step up offensively. Reigning ROY or not, Baldwin can’t […]
This opening weekend and homestand have felt especially sweet after last year’s nightmare start. Drake is raking, TBS-era Braves enjoyers are eating good with the newly revealed City Connects and various BravesVision homages… and the Braves aren’t climbing out of an early season deficit. Let’s hope the good vibes made the team plane headed West. […]
Gwinnett Stripers (2-3) 6, Round Rock Express (1-4) 3 Box Score Gwinnett picked up their second win of the season on Wednesday as JR Ritchie rebounded from what was a shaky start to his season in the process. in his first start of the season last Friday, Ritchie struggled with his command, which led to […]
We’ve got a roster move that fell through the cracks a little bit but still needs to be talked about since it affects the depth of this squad. Back around Opening Day, infielder Brett Wisely was designated for assignment once it was clear that he wouldn’t be making the team. That was all the way […]
Watching the Braves’ first six games of the year, it’s hard to really seize on any one thing that cements their identity as distinct from other teams, or the Braves teams that have come before. Not that these things have to come in the first six games, and sometimes, even if they do, it’s not […]
He lands on every Astros fans list of top historical moments. Game 4 of the 2005 NLDS lasted 18 innings until Chris Burke walked off the Braves with a 338 shot to left field. This is the second installment of our Legends Series. Q: How often are you asked about that moment? A: I don’t […]
