Latest news and updates about the Braves
Sunday was an extra fun day for the Braves. Heroics from Michael Harris II played a huge part in the Braves 3-2 victory very over the Pirates. This resulted in a sweep of the Pirates, which is notable as the Pirates look to be a playoff contender. Timely hitting and excellent bullpen work continue to […]

I mentioned in the series recap for the Toronto Blue Jays series that the relative lack of sweeps for the Atlanta Braves in the midst of this excellent season so far was the definition of complaining about first-world problems as far as baseball was concerned. It’s difficult to complain about anything when Atlanta has both […]
The Atlanta Braves entered Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a heavily taxed bullpen after a busy week. With all their top relievers down for the game, the club needed someone to step up in the late innings.Rookie reliever Didier Fuentes answered the call in the ninth, securing the final three outs to complete […] The post Braves Rookie Reliever Makes History After Bullpen Emergency in Pirates Series appeared first on HEAVY .
Good afternoon, folks! How’s the first week of June treating you? So far, so good for the Braves. Having been to three (3) games this week, I can confirm it’s getting to be hot and humid in a way that home run balls particularly like. To my inexpert eye in the upper deck, it looked […]
Sunday series sweep or same old story? To be clear, winning 18 out of 21 series this season is absolutely remarkable. Historical feats left and right for a team that isn’t fully healthy or all-the-way clicking yet. We love it! For only two of those series wins being sweeps is just interesting. Our poor brooms, […]
On a Friday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates lost 6-3 to the Atlanta Braves on the road. With that loss, a new issue is opening up for the team, and the issue is starting pitcher Mitch Keller. Keller started the game, and he went 4.2 innings allowing seven hits, six earned runs and walking three batters. […]
Saturday’s big story in the Atlanta Braves system seemed like it would be Tate Southisene making his High-A debut after being promoted earlier in the day – but one of his teammates stole the show, as Eric Hartman knocked two home runs and stole a base to continue his impressive run in Rome. Southisene’s High-A […]
Yesterday was fun. The Braves won a game that Braxton Ashcraft started. Dom Smith hit a homer. Austin Riley chipped in with a double. Tyler Kinley pitched a scoreless eighth. And Mauricio Dubon stole home plate. It’s one of those “steal by association” ones, but stealing home can be difficult without doing that. So do […]
Mauricio Dubón’s Braves will be looking to end the homestand and first week of June with a 5-2 record with a sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates this afternoon. After two consecutive games with a final score of 6-3, Atlanta has a chance to beat the “series win hangover / complacent in game 3” allegations. C’mon, […]
The Braves now have two top 100 position-player prospects in high-A Rome. Eric Hartman continues to hit the cover off the ball with a tantalizing power-hit-speed package as a 19-year-old who was taken in the 20th round of the 2024 draft. That seems like incredible value and frankly incredible luck that the Braves still signed […]
The Atlanta Braves took game one of the series against the surprisingly good Pittsburg Pirates last night and look to take the series today. Braxton Ashcraft has been one of the key reasons the Pirates have a winning record. Not only does he have a 2.77 ERA, but he has an ERA of 1.97 in […]

Folks, I’m afraid that we’re going to have to talk about Mauricio Dubón once again. Well, I’m not so much “afraid” of it as I am happy to do so, since this has been one heck of a week at the plate for ol’ Dubie. Dubón hit another big homer during Friday’s 6-3 win for […]

The adage goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I’ll tell you this: I don’t know if your heart can grow fonder of Mauricio Dubon, but if such a thing is even possible, then said fondness has probably grown quite a bit this week. The Braves’ […]
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach is currently recovering from an elbow injury. While the Braves have performed well despite his injury absence, Atlanta would obviously love for the starter to join the rotation this season.
