The Braves are postseason-bound, but expectations are higher than that.
There’s still work to do after last night’s tasteful champagne toast to celebrate a return to the postseason. Walt Weiss, no stranger to tinkering with a lineup formula, has maybe found what he likes most to face RHPs. He will run with the exact same lineup from last night’s 6-2 win versus the Astros, where three two-run homers to the Crawford Boxes in left field secured the series opener. Designated hitter Drake Baldwin leads off, followed by Ronald Acuña Jr. playing right field and aiming fo...

Fresh off of confirming their spot in this season’s Postseason, the Atlanta Braves got some more good news to put out there for the morning after. Reliever Robert Suarez is finally set to go on rehab assignment, as he’ll more-than-likely be making an appearance for the Gwinnett Stripers in their series finale on Sunday. Walt […]
Your Atlanta Braves have made the playoff eight of the last nine seasons. However, 2025 was brutal. Hold me and let’s never go back to that. We learned a lot, er, maybe not really. We learned Joey Wentz still had something in the summer of 2025, but mostly we learned that a dry October is no fun for anyone. There was a pretty muted celebration in the dugout and clubhouse. So let’s relive the homers until the Braves check off the last 3 from the NL East Division magic number, why not? Hey, we’v...

With the MLB regular season set to end next weekend, the NL playoff race has settled, in some ways at least. The division winners are all clear. The Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers have each clinched their respective crowns and the Atlanta Braves could join them as soon as Sunday. The playoff field overall is also looking complete, as the only team still trying to make up a gap is the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are now 4.5 games out and need a miracle. That doesn’t mean there isn’t so...
