The Braves are giving two struggling infielders a break on Saturday, though for Kim this is becoming the new normal, as the $20 million shortstop is sitting for the third straight day with Jorge Mateo simply outplaying him so far this season. It’s only been 12 games for Kim, but he did not look like […]
The Braves have a chance to win their series against a solid Reds team in Cincy with a win tonight and give them a chance for another Sunday sweep. Martin Perez takes the mound for Atlanta and he is posting near-career-best numbers through 46.2 innings, with strikeout and walk rates that near his career highs […]
Atlanta’s minor league affiliates went .500 on Friday as Augusta and Rome came away victorious in their respective matchups. (29-26) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (33-22) Nashville Sounds 4 Box Score Gwinnett came up short on Friday despite jumping out to an early lead against Nashville. The Stripers plated two runs in their first trip to the […]
It’s only been two hits. Two hits over two days. Can you declare someone back from the dead after two hits, especially in such venues as Fenway Park and Great American Ball Park? But did you see the hits though? Let me help you with that. Here’s Thursday in Boston: And here’s last night in […]
The Atlanta Braves continued the Carlos Carrasco saga ahead of Friday’s series opener. The club recalled right-hander Anthony Molina to Atlanta before designating Carrasco for assignment. The move marks the third time this season that Carrasco has been DFA’d. Assuming the same trend continues, he will rejoin the organization via a minor league deal. As […]
The Atlanta Braves have scored the second most runs MLB so far this season and had plans of continuing this trend while facing the Reds an their started Chris Paddack and his 6.86 ERA. The first inning started off with a bang. Ronald Acuña Jr. hit the fourth pitch he saw for a solo shot […]
The Atlanta Braves and their offense which is currently second in MLB in runs scored will to Cincinnati to take on the Reds who are 5-5 in their last ten games. The Reds have the fourth worst team ERA in MLB while sporting an offense that is right at league average being fourteenth in MLB […]
The Atlanta Braves have lost three of their last five games, and their offense has been a roller coaster. They scored seven and ten runs respectively in their last two wins, but scored zero runs twice and one run in the other game. Still, their offense ranks as second in MLB in total runs scored. […]
The Atlanta Braves are coming off a fun series against the Red Sox where we saw the bats go crazy twice and completely silent once. The Braves will now take their elite offense to Cincinnati and face the back end of the Red’s rotation. Today Grant Holmes and his 3.78 ERA will face off against […]
Despite garnering 14% of the vote in our alternative Player of the Game poll after the Braves were shut out in Boston, Carlos Carrasco has been designated for assignment for the third time this season. If the last two go-arounds are anything to go by, the minor league contract is piping-hot off the printer and […]
The NCAA baseball tournament kicks off today. In between Braves games, let’s watch your school play and get to know some potential draft picks. The ones on our watch list are gonna sign and in some cases paid handsomely. The Braves have the eighth highest draft pool next July. So why not join Atlanta and […]
There was plenty to like on the offensive end at the lower levels, with some top prospects going off for big games in wins. Isaiah Drake broke a nearly two-week long streak of no extra base hits with an impressive home run in a Rome win, a game that was also marked by another great […]
More of a silly one today than anything else. Mike Yastrzemski started off… poorly… with his new team. He had a 71 wRC+ through April 15; it dipped to 60 by the time April ended. On May 9, he was down to 46. And then, some stuff happened. He hit two homers, amid six total […]
The Atlanta Braves were firing on all cylinders as they collected a series win after Thursday’s 10-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Chris Sale was solid, throwing five innings of two-run ball. He issued three walks and struck out eight. Ronald Acuña Jr. showed a major sign of life and launched a grand slam […]
After a rare disappointing series (against the Washington Nationals, no less), the Atlanta Braves had no choice but to lick their wounds and keep it pushing against their traditional (league-mandated) interleague rivals in the form of the Boston Red Sox. Considering that the top of the rotation was going to be in action, there was […]
We, the spoiled denizens of Braves Country, have made our displeasure known about the recent offensive outages. Some of it warranted (dropping a series to the Nats at home). We may have said things we regret. I’m taking your Ronald Acuña Jr. apology forms riiight here. The Braves will finish 4-2 against the Red Sox […]
Cincinnati awaits, but first let’s win a series! ICYMI Pitching preview Lineups
Three straight games in Boston facing a left-handed pitcher means largely the same lineup from Walt Weiss. Will we see the boys that hit bombs from Game 1, or the Braves that get blanked from Game 2? Weiss is, however, hitting the Dominic Smith button here instead of trotting out Eli White or Jorge Mateo […]
The Atlanta Braves franchise suffered another major blow recently, as former star Bob Horner passed away at the age of 68. It’s a tough loss for fans who were around to watch this team during their tumultuous period during the 1980s, since Horner was such an important figure to the Braves during that point in […]
Pokemon card king and staff ace Chris Sale will take the mound for the Braves as they seek a second series win (and avoid a second consecutive series loss) over the Boston Red Sox. Sale (7-3, 1.89 ERA) checked off a box with his first win over Miami his last time out, striking out eight […]
With five games on the slate, it was a jam-packed day down on the farm. So, without further ado, let’s dive into Wednesday’s action. (29-24) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (31-22) Nashville Sounds 3 Box Score It took five outings but Owen Murphy put up his strongest triple-A start yet on Wednesday in Gwinnett’s win over Nashville. […]
I have this thought basically every time Ozzie Albies comes up in the first inning, and now I’m sharing it with you. Through the first 18 games of the season, Albies hit sixth against right-handers, and third against left-handers. He then crept up to fifth against right-handers, then fourth, then second, and then a mix […]
MLBPA submitted their initial CBA proposal Wednesday, as the owners are expected to make their initial proposal Thursday. The union proposal includes some interesting ideas, some increased benefits to players, and at least one clear nonstarter for the owners. The owners positioned themselves as advocating for fan desire for competitive balance and rejected the proposal, […]
Every baseball season has at least a few of these games for every team, but that doesn’t make it fun when it happens to the one you root for. On Wednesday night, the Braves had to suffer through a bunch of things that they didn’t even come close to overcoming: an awful Bryce Elder effort, […]
