Latest news and updates about the Braves
Provided you had a ritual in the first place, I guess. My ritual was taking the day off work and watching a lot of baseball. With the Braves playing a night game and a weird split Opening Day where only some teams started their season yesterday, I am just not bothering. It’ll be a normal […]
Happy Opening Day, Braves Country! During Thursday’s presser, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss informed the media that Drake Baldwin would be in the Opening Day lineup, but not behind the dish. Instead, Baldwin will be in the DH role while Jonah Heim is behind the plate. It’s a pretty interesting way to roll things out. […]
It appears that the cable pieces of the Braves television distribution are starting to fall into place. The News always comes down in a navy blue image with white text on it, so this is definitely a big deal. The Atlanta Braves and Xfinity aka Comcast have reached a deal to carry BravesVision, the Braves’ […]
I’ll save the big kahuna question for the Braves’ Opening Day, which is tomorrow. Today is Opening Day for most other teams, so we’ll go with this no-stakes variant. Normally, I’m pretty excited for Opening Day. Baseball season has a great rhythm, and I look forward to transitioning into it every year. That said, I […]
Last year’s National League East race ended with the Phillies (96-66) winning their second consecutive division crown, while the Mets (83-79) and Braves (76-86) both underperformed expectations and missed the playoffs entirely. The Marlins (79-83), meanwhile, came close to .500 as they showed promise and play a key role in ending the Mets’ postseason dreams […]
Well we now have a waiting game for the Braves’ regular season to start. We did get to see Max Fried have a good start in the first game of the regular season (which was on Netflix and was weird). The Braves’ roster is really rough compared to what we thought it would look like […]
This is a weird post. I’ll just go ahead and get that out of the way. And then I’m going to head into a brief-ish aside. I used to generate a lot more content. On the rare occasion I interrogate this fact, the subsequent thoughts fall into a few camps. One is that, well, I’m […]
Baseball begins today! The season kicks off with Opening Night between the Yankees and Giants. The Royals open the season tomorrow in Atlanta against the Braves. With the season beginning, it is time to put out the predictions. Earlier this week we asked readers to give their predictions on the season, and over 200 of you responded […]
The Atlanta Braves will inducted former manager Brian Snitker to the organization’s Hall of Fame on April 25, 2026. The third winningest manager in franchise history with 811 regular season victories, Snitker also led the team to the 2021 World Series championship – the organization’s first since 1995. Snitker, who joined the organization as a […]
For Atlanta’s last Spring Training game of 2026, the Braves had Grant Holmes on the mound and a potential Opening Day lineup preview on the hitting side. Holmes looked pretty good to start the game, even as some bad BABIP luck and a walk caused his second inning to be cut short and brought a […]
The Braves made a roster move on Tuesday, claiming RHP Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Yankees. To make room on the roster, the Braves added LHP Joey Wentz to the 60-Day IL. This is the result of Wentz tearing his ACL a few weeks ago, which will cause him to miss all of 2026. […]
Well it’s here: the last game of Spring Training, as the Braves open their regular season on Friday in Atlanta against Kansas City. Grant Holmes gets his final spring tune-up, wrapping up what has been a strong and healthy spring for Grant. There was much concern about his health, given that he was shut down […]
I don’t know how to make this post any longer, because for whatever reason, Charter/Spectrum decided to announce this news with a weird tweet-of-an-image with no details. Now, you have to gaze at it too. There are no details, whatsoever. This was probably going to happen at some point this week given that Opening Day […]
I had a mild heart attack after searching for Lucas Giolito news. Not going to repeat it, but the robots believe a signing has occurred already. There’s no reason to feed the algorithms any further. If content farms are going to wish something into existence, then let me tell you about Shohei Ohtani opting out […]
Once again, the Braves were dealt some bad news Monday. Spencer Strider will be out to the start the season with an oblique injury. While the Braves hope he misses just a few weeks, oblique injuries could take a month or more to come back from plus rehab time. Jose Suarez and Martin Perez could […]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Atlanta Braves, March 25, 2026, 1:05 p.m. ET Location: LECOM Park, Bradenton, FL How to Listen: KDKA-FM 93.7 The Pittsburgh Pirates are at home against the Atlanta Braves, where they will try and pick up one last win in the Grapefruit League. Please remember our Game Day thread guidelines. BD community, this […]
The Atlanta Braves are taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, FL as Spring Training is coming to a close. Originally Spencer Strider was supposed to be getting his final tune up, but we got the unfortunate news that he will be starting the season on the IL with an oblique strain. With Strider being […]
Hey. Hey! I thought today was when we were gonna talk about the Braves Are Doomed, Reynaldo Lopez Edition. Then this happens. Not too much more to say, really. Injured List, meet Spencer Strider. Spencer Strider, meet the Injured List. Oh, what’s that? You’re already acquainted? In fact, you were already acquainted in these exact […]
If you paid attention to Sunday’s Spring Training game (and to be honest, why would you?), you knew this was coming. Despite the fact that the Braves are relying on him to be useful, Reynaldo Lopez is very much a wild card heading into the 2026 season, which begins in earnest this week. Lopez was […]
Results were not kind to Reynaldo Lopez in his final Spring start on Sunday. His velocity was down while the Twins production at the plate was up. Lopez has seen mixed results this Spring, including less than ideal velocity on his fastball. While there are no reports of injury, it is fair to wonder how […]
There’s only three spring training games left and the Opening Day roster is starting to take shape (hello, Didier Fuentes). At this point, it’s all about remaining healthy during the final portions of camp and rounding things out on a high note. The lineup today is an interesting one — the Braves are on the […]
Didier Fuentes has indeed made the Braves’ Opening Day roster and that is an exciting development for Braves fans, as the 20 year old has looked phenomenal this spring. There have been shades of vintage Spencer Strider from Fuentes this spring, but he may still need that third pitch to be able to consistently be […]
Although arguably the team’s three best prospects were not apart of the roster, the Atlanta Braves top prospects completed the third season of the Spring Breakout Series with an 8-3 win over the Yankees prospects on Saturday night, going up early and leading almost the whole way. Even with Didier Fuentes, JR Ritchie, and Cam […]
Braves infielder Tate Southisene’s 105.7-mph single to start off the evening was a precursor of what was in store for Kyle Carr and the Yankees. It was a pretty underwhelming performance for the New York prospects, dropping the Spring Breakout game by a final score of 8-3. For the first two innings, Carr found a […]
Youth is both the future and the present tonight. After seeing Cam Schlittler—a key 25-year-old pitcher for their current rotation—toss a strong outing against the Tigers this afternoon, the Yankees are back on the field for this Spring Breakout Game, facing the Braves. The Baby Bombers lineup will be led by shortstop George Lombard Jr., […]
