This has been a rough year when it comes to notable names in Atlanta Braves history passing away. There was the double blow of losing both Ted Turner and Bobby Cox within the same week and now a former player has passed on. The Braves somberly shared the news that former star Bob Horner has […]
The stage is set for both teams in game one. The Atlanta Braves, who’ve struggled on offense during their last series against the Washington Nationals and dropped the series, are looking to have a full turnaround in their matchup against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway. Spencer Strider will be taking the mound in hopes […]
Spencer Strider’s last outing for the Atlanta Braves was against the Miami Marlins on Thursday (5/21), making that his longest outing since coming off the IL this season. He pitched for 6.1 innings, allowed three runs on four hits and struck out nine batters. So far, he’s been producing as someone getting back to the […]
Alright, so here we are, folks. It’s the day after Memorial Day which is usually the moment in the season where I’d say that it’s safe to start taking whatever’s happening in the standings a bit more seriously. We’re over a quarter of the way deep into this campaign and basically the news is nothing […]
This question is entirely in service of me telling you this one crazy factoid (and also to fulfill the daily question post quota): Across the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons, the Braves never had a stretch of more than three games without a homer. They had a five-game and four-game homerless streak in […]
The Braves will be on the road this week versus the Red Sox and the Reds. As the offense looks to get back going in the right direction, Mark Bowman of MLB.com made sure to keep the perspective positive. He makes the case for nine current Braves to be All-Stars, and none of the resumes […]
For the last four seasons, I’ve dialed up the old analog machine to project the balance of that current season. As silly as it sounds, there have been time – like last year – when the predictive outcome was more accurate than anyone would like. Before this goes any further – this is tongue-in-cheek. This […]
Going 4-3 against the Marlins and Nationals last week wasn’t ideal, but that also speaks to just how high expectations have climbed for the Braves, who are in a nominal tie with the Rays for the best record in MLB. (The Braves have played four more games, so the Rays are ahead on percentage points.) […]
(26-25) Charlotte Knights 3, (28-23) Gwinnett Stripers 2 Box Score The Stripers dropped a close 3-2 game to the Charlotte Knights on Sunday. The Stripers struck first, scoring runs in the first and second innings to build a 2-0 lead. The Stripers’ pitching staff carried the momentum into the middle innings of the game before […]
A very low-effort question for when folks should probably be anywhere else but here… especially given the off-day, even if it is a U.S. federal holiday and all. Which is really the question itself. It’s a holiday, which usually means MLB has a full slate of games, often afternoon games. Yet, MLB does not have […]
The Braves offense just could not find its usual groove over the weekend. After an exciting win on Friday. the Braves were shut out Saturday and did not score a run till the ninth on a rainy 2-1 Sunday loss to the Nationals. It was only the Braves second series loss of the season, but […]
The Braves had their worst performance of the season in the first game in the Miami, and then bounced back to deliver three straight clobberings. There was no inkling that they’d return home for a soggy holiday weekend and suffer a letdown, but ultimately, that’s what happened. Whatever combination of weather, travel, regular baseball season […]
Even heavy rain couldn’t wash away a poor series at the plate for the Atlanta Braves. The Braves were shutout through six innings of Sunday’s rubber match against the Washington Nationals, facing a 1-0 deficit. One 90-minute weather delay later, that deficit grew to 2-0. The Braves rallied mildly in the ninth, but left the […]
Just like yesterday, Mother Nature is interrupting the Braves game with today’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals has been delayed due to (the threat of) inclement weather. Or in this case, the start of the game has been delayed. Current start time is projected for 4:30PM. Call it the Braves pulling […]
4:10 p.m. update: The start of Sunday’s Braves-Nationals game has been delayed 20 minutes to 4:30 p.m. due to inclement weather in the area. The forecast isn’t exactly getting better from here so we’ll let you know if more delays are on the way. The forecast doesn’t seem great but there’s still scheduled to be […]
After playing right field the last three days while dealing with a bone bruise in his left thumb, Ronald Acuña Jr. will serve as the Braves’ designated hitter for Sunday’s home series finale against the Washington Nationals. Mauricio Dubon is back in the two-hole against left-handed starter Foster Griffin (5-2, 4.02 ERA) and Ha-Seong Kim […]
Another Sunday, another rubber match for the Atlanta Braves. For the third straight weekend — and the fourth out of the last five — the series will be on the line in the deciding game Sunday when the Braves host the Washington Nationals at 4:10 p.m. EDT. Given, rubber matches have been no problem for […]
Saturday saw the teams in the Atlanta Braves organization split six games down the middle. Cade Kuehler threw his third straight great game, while Isaiah Drake, John Gil, and Jim Jarvis all had notable days at the plate. We also got to get the full Jhancarlos Lara experience, where he got himself into trouble, but […]
Do you know the last game when the Atlanta Braves weren’t in first place by the end of the day? Do you know when Walt Weiss tackled Jorge Soler? If you know one then you know the other. Let’s go back to April 7th. I don’t know that it saved the season. But for the […]
Yesterday, Grant McAuley of Atlanta’s 92.9 the Game, From The Diamond and Battery Power, spoke with injured Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach about his rehabilitation progression. Schwellenbach told McAuley that he has starting throwing from 60 feet on flat ground every other day – a process that began six days ago. That will be […]
The Braves lost a game 2-0 to the Nationals, which is unfortunate because the Nationals are very much the profile of team that you should beat if you hold them to 2 runs (though statistically that applies to every team, the Nationals are especially pitching-deficient. That said, the Braves still have a chance for a […]
It’s an understatement to say the Atlanta Braves’ run support didn’t show up in today’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. Falling 2-0, they just couldn’t find a way to rally late and get on the board with only one hit managed. Coming off a rain delay in the middle of the second inning, both teams […]
The rain came down in the middle of the second inning after threatening to do so since before the game started. Hang out here while we wait for the Braves and Nationals to re-start. No updates yet on the restart time. The tarps is still on the field, but not in the stands. Looks like […]
Game two is underway, with the Washington Nationals looking to bounce back after being walked off in yesterday’s matchup in extras. The Atlanta Braves are expecting to win the series with Grant Holmes on the mound today. Check back in for a recap on how it all unravels at Truist. First pitch is set for […]
It’s a mixture of sunshine and overcast here in Atlanta, and rain is expected to come in later in the evening, but the show must go on…until further notice. Let’s look at these Saturday lineups. An impressive walk-off from a line-drive RBI single from Chadwick Tromp ended yesterday’s game one matchup against the Nationals in […]
