Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves and their offense which is currently second in MLB in runs scored will to Cincinnati to take on the Reds who are 5-5 in their last ten games. The Reds have the fourth worst team ERA in MLB while sporting an offense that is right at league average being fourteenth in MLB […]
The Cincinnati Reds are back home in Great American Ball Park after a quick trip to New York and a day off on Thursday. Friday evening sees them open a homestand that will first feature the Atlanta Braves in town. The Braves have the best record in baseball, which is a problem. Chris Paddack will […]
The Atlanta Braves have lost three of their last five games, and their offense has been a roller coaster. They scored seven and ten runs respectively in their last two wins, but scored zero runs twice and one run in the other game. Still, their offense ranks as second in MLB in total runs scored. […]
Despite garnering 14% of the vote in our alternative Player of the Game poll after the Braves were shut out in Boston, Carlos Carrasco has been designated for assignment for the third time this season. If the last two go-arounds are anything to go by, the minor league contract is piping-hot off the printer and […]
The Atlanta Braves right-hander gave up home runs to the first two batters he faced on Tuesday before buckling down.
There was plenty to like on the offensive end at the lower levels, with some top prospects going off for big games in wins. Isaiah Drake broke a nearly two-week long streak of no extra base hits with an impressive home run in a Rome win, a game that was also marked by another great […]
The Atlanta Braves were firing on all cylinders as they collected a series win after Thursday’s 10-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Chris Sale was solid, throwing five innings of two-run ball. He issued three walks and struck out eight. Ronald Acuña Jr. showed a major sign of life and launched a grand slam […]
After a rare disappointing series (against the Washington Nationals, no less), the Atlanta Braves had no choice but to lick their wounds and keep it pushing against their traditional (league-mandated) interleague rivals in the form of the Boston Red Sox. Considering that the top of the rotation was going to be in action, there was […]
We, the spoiled denizens of Braves Country, have made our displeasure known about the recent offensive outages. Some of it warranted (dropping a series to the Nats at home). We may have said things we regret. I’m taking your Ronald Acuña Jr. apology forms riiight here. The Braves will finish 4-2 against the Red Sox […]
The Red Sox just absolutely refuse to learn their lesson… If you’re wondering exactly which lesson we’re talking about, go ahead and read that headline again and take a little trip to our “DUDS” section below: STUDS Payton Tolle and Chris Sale: I’d be hard pressed to say they lived up to the hype, especially […]
Cincinnati awaits, but first let’s win a series! ICYMI Pitching preview Lineups
Three straight games in Boston facing a left-handed pitcher means largely the same lineup from Walt Weiss. Will we see the boys that hit bombs from Game 1, or the Braves that get blanked from Game 2? Weiss is, however, hitting the Dominic Smith button here instead of trotting out Eli White or Jorge Mateo […]
The Atlanta Braves franchise suffered another major blow recently, as former star Bob Horner passed away at the age of 68. It’s a tough loss for fans who were around to watch this team during their tumultuous period during the 1980s, since Horner was such an important figure to the Braves during that point in […]
Pokemon card king and staff ace Chris Sale will take the mound for the Braves as they seek a second series win (and avoid a second consecutive series loss) over the Boston Red Sox. Sale (7-3, 1.89 ERA) checked off a box with his first win over Miami his last time out, striking out eight […]
With five games on the slate, it was a jam-packed day down on the farm. So, without further ado, let’s dive into Wednesday’s action. (29-24) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (31-22) Nashville Sounds 3 Box Score It took five outings but Owen Murphy put up his strongest triple-A start yet on Wednesday in Gwinnett’s win over Nashville. […]
I have this thought basically every time Ozzie Albies comes up in the first inning, and now I’m sharing it with you. Through the first 18 games of the season, Albies hit sixth against right-handers, and third against left-handers. He then crept up to fifth against right-handers, then fourth, then second, and then a mix […]
The Chicago Cubs have signed left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract, adding a veteran arm to a bullpen that has been one of the more injury-ravaged units in baseball this season. Bummer was released by the Atlanta Braves on May 19 after posting a 7.63 ERA and an 8.62 FIP across 19 appearances and 15.1 innings, with a walk-to-strikeout ratio of 10 to 13 that showed a pitcher who could not consistently miss bats or locate his fastball. He is expected to report to Triple...
MLBPA submitted their initial CBA proposal Wednesday, as the owners are expected to make their initial proposal Thursday. The union proposal includes some interesting ideas, some increased benefits to players, and at least one clear nonstarter for the owners. The owners positioned themselves as advocating for fan desire for competitive balance and rejected the proposal, […]
The Red Sox looked like a different team in the best way possible. Boston blanked the Atlanta Braves to even the three-game series by way of the pitching staff’s seventh shutout of the season. The Red Sox held down MLB’s best team and knocked around a starting pitcher riding plenty of momentum. Here’s three takeaways […]
Braves go for another series win in a rematch of pitchers-and-teams-they-faced-two-weekends-ago (but not the same pitching matchup as in any of those games).
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox nearly came back from a three-run deficit in the series opener against the Braves. The offense has finally put together a few solid performances as of late, though there haven’t been plenty of wins to show for it. Boston will try to get early run […]
Hey, universe! Let Dominic Smith get some starts! Which means, stop making the Braves face lefty starters! In tonight’s contest, the Braves will be taking aim at a lefty starter for the fourth time in five games. You have to go back to May 4, the start of a streak where the Braves faced four […]
The quirks of MLB scheduling are, well, quirky. The Braves only play the Red Sox six times over the course of the 2026 regular season, but because those games are 11 days apart, the pitching matchups can feel a bit repetitive. Bryce Elder and Connelly Early didn’t square off against one another two weekends ago […]
Normally this is a series that we update after the draft, and then again upon the end of the season. Well, you have to stay hip to the trends and with several outlets already updating their top 30 lists after a full month of the season, we wanted to make sure we provided you with […]
It was disappointing for Atlanta Braves fans to see one of the top prospects from the 2025 draft class go down almost immediately this season. Finally, though, Conor Essenburg brings his power bat back into an exciting Augusta lineup and he started his next stint with an early hit. (28-24) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (31-21) Nashville […]
