Who will hit ninth for the Braves most often in 2026?

A quick one, off a stray thought. When the Braves ran out their lineup of regulars-ish a couple of days ago in a home Spring Training contest, Mauricio Dubon was hitting ninth, even behind Jonah Heim. Two days before that, Dubon was hitting ninth behind Aaron Schunk, of all people. It’s early in Spring Training, […]

Braves News: Tough one in Tampa, World Baseball Classic, and more

The Atlanta Braves went to Tampa on Thursday and returned with a 7-3 loss to the New York Yankees. Carlos Carrasco got the ball and lasted just 1.2 innings.

Yankees ride explosive first inning to spring training victory over Braves

The main offseason talking point concerning the Yankees has concerned the phrase “running it back.” Is it a good thing? Is it the greatest misstep in franchise history? Well, a nearly Opening Day-vintage Yankee lineup looked more than ready to do damage this afternoon, as they plated five runs in the first inning en route […]

Carlos Carrasco, Braves backups get beaten up by Yankees

The Braves didn’t really intend to make Thursday afternoon’s exhibition contest in Tampa a competitive one — they sent a bunch of backups as their position player contingent, gave Carlos Carrasco the start, and had a pitching slate of “guys who complete innings because the regular crew can’t add a full month of workload to […]

New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Elmer Rodríguez vs. Carlos Carrasco

Almost a full week into Spring Training, the biggest story coming out of the Yankees’ camp has been starting pitching.

Spring Training February 26 game thread: Braves at Yankees

It’s Spring Training Game Thread time again. Double wooooo. It’s kind of weird that Carlos Carrasco is “starting” again, but I guess we’ve had enough games now, and every other actual rotation-member other than Spencer Strider has made their 2026 Grapefruit League debut. The Braves are clearly not sending any of their regulars on the […]

Braves News: Austin Riley goes yard, bullpen competition heats up, more

Despite the woes for rotation depth early this offseason, there is quietly a lot of competition for the back of the bullpen.

The Braves have four bullpen locks […]

Bryce Elder solid, Austin Riley homers in spring win over Pirates

The Braves and Pirates tangled in Grapefruit League action on Wednesday afternoon, and the Braves came away victorious by a 3-1 score, taking advantage of rusty-ish Paul Skenes in the process.

Spring Training February 25 game thread: Braves vs. Pirates

How much will Braves.TV cost?

A completely pointless exercise, as we’ll find out soon enough, but I’m curious what you all think. Current MLB.tv-based single-team packages are about $20 per month. This includes things branded exactly the same as Braves.TV, like “Padres.TV” and “Giants.TV.” Braves.TV might offer more than the games, though I’m not sure it’s going to have an […]

Orioles news: Working out the early-spring glitches

Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’re four days into the Grapefruit League season, still at the point where every team has roughly 10,000 players in camp and the regulars are getting sporadic half-days of work. That’s good, because yesterday’s 10-7 loss to the Braves was not the most sterling pitching performance for the Birds. The O’s […]

Braves could link up with other Southeastern pro sports teams for TV network

So as well all know now, the Atlanta Braves “are well on [their] way towards launching a new era in Braves broadcasting.” That quote came directly from the team itself via a publicly released statement but there have also been rumors that the Braves wouldn’t be the only team on this particular network. The Atlanta […]

Braves pitching keeps strong Orioles starting lineup quiet in spring action

The Atlanta Braves didn’t send a particularly imposing group of players to Sarasota to face off against the Baltimore Orioles but that didn’t matter too much in the end.
