Reynaldo López and the Braves look to even the series in St. Louis

I’ve never been more grateful for my inability to hang – I was fast asleep before last night’s rain-soaked resumption. And it seems like that was for the best. There was a lot of time during yesterday’s delay to worry about postponement logistics and the radar for the rest of the weekend’s games. But for […]

Matt Olson breaks Dale Murphy’s Braves consecutive games record

Last night, the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals needed scuba gear and wet suits to slog through torrential downpours late into the Missouri nights. It was a forgettable game for the Braves, who lost in extra innings, other than one historical achievement. When the game became official, Atlanta’s ironman first baseman Matt Olson had […]

Soggy bottom: Braves wait around, find no joy in 2-1 loss

Let’s start with an image. It’s the only image you need, really: Within the span of three batters, in a tie game, Michael Harris II hit a ball at over 105 mph, whose combination of velocity and angle yields a hit just about 60 percent of the time, and would’ve been a homer in 26 […]

Walker, Crooks Lead Cardinals Over Braves on a Rain-Soaked Friday Night

Friday night’s game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves was really two completely different stories.

The Braves open up a set in St. Louis on Friday night, and have moved Mike Yastrzemski to sixth on the heels of his grand slam in Thursday’s win over the Pirates: Yastrzemski started out hitting fifth, but quickly dropped down to the bottom of the lineup amid struggles in April. He last hit as […]

Chris Sale looks to bounce back as Braves rumble into St. Louis

At least I didn’t have to write “Braves tumble” into St. Louis, though the status of their tumbling remains a distinct possibility. The Braves righted the ship, or at least gave the appearance of righting the ship, a bit in Pittsburgh earlier this week, winning a series for the first time since June 19-21. After […]

Braves option Hurston Waldrep, JR Ritchie to start on Sunday

It wouldn’t be a day ending in “y” without a Braves roster move: Hurston Waldrep’s ongoing recovery has had quite a few twists and turns. Following a pseudo-breakout late last year, after the Braves were out of it and had little to play for other than trying to garner the kind of major league development […]

Jeff Passan’s best and dream trade fits for the Braves

With three weeks until the trade deadline, ESPN’s Jeff Passan gave his “best match” and “dream match” for the Atlanta Braves, addressing two entirely different needs.
