The Reds plummeted down the standings after a strong April. They lost one of their top two starters to Tommy John surgery that’ll likely cost him all of 2027. Most of the rotation underperformed and the back half of the lineup was as bad as any in the league. There’s still elite high-end talent, but […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the Braves lineup and ultimately missed just one game after fouling a baseball off his knee during night’s contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Acuña is batting second in the order — sandwiched between Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson — and is playing in right field, an even more encouraging […]
It is the last off-day of the regular season, before the series with the Reds. I forgot that today was an off-day. I went to see what time tonight’s game was starting and whoops there isn’t a tonight’s game. And there isn’t much for Jays news. Everything is about Vlad’s interview, and I think I […]
Wednesday was an eventful day for Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale. Sale achieved his 9th 200-strikeout season in a 3-2 win over the Cincinatti Reds. However, it was bittersweet that it happened on the same day his former pitching coach Don Cooper passed away at the age of 70. After the game, Sale gave it […]

The person in the photo above is not a strange wanderer whose arrival at the local inn coincided with that of a growing pestilence. That is Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman, photographed in the dugout two nights ago.
Bregman looks like that because he was struck by a foul ball while standing in the on-deck circle during last Sunday's game against the Reds. He suffered multiple facial fractures , which is obvious by the look of him. Here he is this morning arriving at Wrigley Field:

Ken Rosenthal and Alanna Rizzo react to Aaron Judge pushing back on Aaron Boone’s injury prognosis and examine the unusual disconnect surrounding the Yankees star. They break down the final weekend of the regular season, including the sub-.500 Astros and Rangers tied atop the AL West, the AL Central race and the battle for NL Wild Card seeding. On Inside Dish, Ken explains why the Reds have failed to follow the Brewers’ model, whether Cincinnati mismanaged its assets and how the organization s...
A 37-year-old Chris Sale threw yet another gem on Wednesday as he winds down yet another Cy Young finalist-grade season in Atlanta, striking out 10 Cincinnati Reds over 5⅔ innings of one-run ball in a game the Braves won 3-2 in 11 innings. That 10th strikeout gave him 200 on the year, so he joined…

As the Cincinnati Reds put the finishing touches on another season without reaching the playoffs, frustration appears to be growing in the front office between ownership and president of baseball operations Nick Krall.
The empirical data does enough heavy lifting for even the most casual observers to note just how bad the Cincinnati Reds are at the sport of baseball at the moment. They do rank dead last in their division, after all, and a glance at their ghastly -160 run differential this season just hammers that point […]
After an extra-inning win vs. the Reds, Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s alarming September split: a 41 WRC+ in the first five innings (worst in MLB by far) versus a 161 WRC+ in innings 7–9 (best in MLB). He explains why that late surge may not translate to October, evaluates potential Wild Card opponents’ offensive profiles, and argues the Braves’ biggest elimination risk is failing to score early. Crosby then proposes a Wild Card roster build with 14 position players and 12 pitchers, cla...
The Braves added another walk-off win to their tally last night with a 3-2 victory over the Reds, and there were a slew of fun moments — but none more so than the return of Robert Suarez to major-league action. The All-Star reliever hadn’t pitched in a major-league game since the middle of June, and […]
The Cincinnati Reds visit the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. ET from Truist Park, Atlanta, GA. The Atlanta Braves enter Thursday’s game at 92-64, sitting atop the NL East, while the Cincinnati Reds arrive at 72-84 and fifth in the NL Central. Tyler Mahle takes the mound for Atlanta, opposed by Brady Singer for Cincinnati. The Reds have issued 649 walks this season, the most in MLB, a control problem that has put extra runners on base against a Braves lineup led by ...
Trace Fowler and Mike Hart discuss the news that Spencer Steer is having surgery. ———————- Spencer Steer Needs Wrist Surgery. Did the Reds Wait Too Long? Spencer Steer’s season has been over for weeks. Now the Cincinnati Reds know rest will not be enough to fix his right wrist. Steer is scheduled to undergo surgery Sept. 30 in Phoenix to repair a torn tendon sheath. He injured the wrist on a swing against the Cardinals on July 26 and has not played since.

ATLANTA — Chris Sale has completed one of the most impressive seasons in Braves history. But in his mind, the only season that matters is the one that awaits him and his teammates. Sale looked like a man on a mission as he tallied 10 strikeouts and secured his latest 200-strikeout season in a 3-2 walk-off win in 10 innings over the Reds on Wednesday night at Truist Park. The southpaw attacked this final regular-season start with the same aggression he’ll display when the postseason arrives nex...
Take a bow, Mauricio Dubon! The Atlanta Braves infielder has been the hero for the team multiple times this year. His timely hits have given Atlanta a ton of momentum over the last few weeks. Against the Cincinnati Reds in extra innings, Dubon’s name was called upon yet again. Dubon again answered the call. The […]

The Atlanta Braves took on the Cincinnati Reds in what will be Chris Sale’s final start of the season. The Braves have already clinched their division and likely will not catch the two seed, but it was still going to be a fun game with Chris Sale trying to reach the two-hundred strikeout mark. Chris Sale leads the NL in having the lowest HR rate against him with averaging 0.5 HR per nine innings. So, it was a bit of a shock to see him give up a leadoff HR to Brito. Sale settled in after that t...
Chris Sale is, well, still Chris Sale. The Atlanta Braves ace made sure his final start of the 2026 MLB regular season was one to remember, as he helped take down the Cincinnati Reds in a 3-2 victory on Wednesday at Truist Park in Atlanta.
