Braves News: Financial report, win streak, more
Well, outside of a rough stretch in June and an underwhelming trade deadline, this Braves team has been cruising in 2026 and has the second best record in baseball. They still probably need some bats to step up (Austin Riley, Sean Murphy, and Ronald Acuna, looking at you) and the emergence of at least one […]
Bryce Elder pitched a gem backed by clutch hitting in Braves win over Marlins
The Atlanta Braves took on the Miami Marlins in game two of the series looking for their seventh straight win. The Braves are tied with the Cubs for the most runs scored since the start of July and are seventh best since the All-Star Break. The Marlins are twentieth in MLB in runs since the […]
Braves vs Marlins chat and discussion: Bryce Elder vs Eury Pérez
The Atlanta Braves are taking on the Miami Marlins as they look to win their seventh game in a row. On paper if you just look at the ERAs it looks like it may be a pitcher’s duel between Bryce Elder and Eury Pérez. If we dig deeper we see that Bryce Elder has a […]
Sean Murphy, Lane Thomas in lineup and Dubón at SS for Braves
The Atlanta Braves will be facing the Miami Marlins this evening in a matchup that brings two offenses on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of runs scored. The Braves are tied with the Chicago Cubs for the most runs scored in all of MLB since the start of July. They are also […]
Braves ticket sales and The Battery are strong but BravesVision is understated in financial report
Income from ticket sales and The Battery are really growing. The Braves reportedly raised prices on season tickets, and are reaping financial benefits. The Battery and Pennant Park are packed nearly to capacity. But the BravesVision venture is behind not necessarily in revenue, but the big payoff seems to be delayed. So let’s dig into […]
Bryce Elder takes the mound against the Marlins
The Atlanta Braves are looking for lucky number seven tonight as they face the Miami Marlins. They are currently on a six-game win streak with Bryce Elder taking the mound to face current Marlins’ staff ace Eury Pérez. Eury Pérez has been a bright spot for the Miami Marlins this season who recently ended a […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Smith-Shawver strong for Gwinnett
This week has seen huge shake ups in the minor league rosters and the Braves shuffled many of their top prospects and added some of the draftees to Augusta’s roster. Tuesday featured five top prospects debuting at new levels and the professional debut of 26th overall pick Carter Beck, but the player of the day […]
Braves News: Grant Holmes sharp, Walt Weiss talks trade deadline, and more
The Atlanta Braves kicked off the series against the Miami Marlins with a 4-2 win on Tuesday evening. Despite some drama in the later innings, Grant Holmes made the start and pitched a gem. He tossed six scoreless innings, striking out five and giving up a base on balls. The Marlins outhit the Atlanta offense, […]
Historic magnolia tree from Atlanta’s Ponce de Leon Park toppled in storm
Before the Braves moved to Atlanta from Milwaukee in 1966, the minor league Atlanta Crackers called Atlanta home for most of the century. Their park, as well as that of the Atlanta Black Crackers of the Negro Leagues, was Ponce de Leon Park located just east of downtown Atlanta. In the outfield at “Poncey” was […]
Late inning dramatics don’t overshadow Grant Holmes gem as Braves beat the Marlins, 4-2
Two win streaks entered, and one had to snap. And thankfully, your Atlanta Braves took the series opener versus the Miami Marlins to win six games straight, matching a season-high mark from April. The Marlins’ fledgling streak ends at three as the Braves hang on to win 4-2 amid some late inning tomfoolery. That win-streak […]
Braves vs. Marlins Chat and Discussion: Grant Holmes vs. Ryan Gusto
The Atlanta Braves will be looking to continue their NL East-beating ways coming off the momentum of a four-game sweep of the Nationals… here come the Miami Marlins. Grant Holmes gets the ball for Atlanta’s first game after the trade deadline versus Ryan Gusto at 7:15 pm ET. Join us to chat about the game […]
Walt Weiss: “I trust” Alex Anthopoulos and his judgment
It’s the day after the Trade Deadline and the Atlanta Braves are back at it. Again, it has to be mentioned that Atlanta is 22 games over .500 with a healthy-sized lead in the NL East at the moment, so it’s not all doom-and-gloom at the ballpark. With that being said, it’s totally understandable for […]
Drake Baldwin leads off, Ronald Acuña Jr. back in right field in Marlins series opener
The wailing and gnashing of teeth can cease, everyone: the Atlanta Braves Baseball Club returns to action after their much-needed off day. That’s what the uptick in site traffic was for, right? With reinforcements in hand, the Atlanta Braves kick off a new series versus the Miami Marlins tonight at Truist Park. With the Marlins […]
Braves fans react to the 2026 trade deadline for Atlanta
Well, folks. 6 pm ET on Monday, August 3 has come and gone. The rollercoaster of highs, lows, headscratchers, and everything else in yesterday’s MLB trade deadline frenzy have all of us crashing… or crashing out. I think this post from Mike Petriello sums it up nicely: The trade deadline presents us with a rare […]
Grant Holmes on the hill for the Braves in series opener vs. the Miami Marlins
Your new and improved* Braves are here. Fifty games left in the 2026 regular season. Let’s get after it. *your mileage may vary based on your trade deadline opinions. August started off in sweet and sweep-y fashion – the Washington Nationals entered the series a game over .500 and left two games under. The Braves […]
Matt Olson continues to mash, fly under the radar nationally
It’s not hard to imagine the stifling amount of pressure that Matt Olson faced upon his arrival in Atlanta ahead of the 2022 season. Replacing the face of the franchise, one of the most consistent hitters in baseball, and a guy whom the fanbase badly wanted to retain: Freddie Freeman. Oh, and Olson was returning […]
Which Trade Deadline deal(s) would you have done?
The MLB Trade Deadline is weird. To the extent player talent gives you any kind of definitive advantage, it needs to be present over a large-enough sample to drown out the effects of everything else. However, by the time the Trade Deadline rolls around, you end up right around that point where even if you […]
Braves News: MLB Trade Deadline, Sean Murphy, Chris Sale, More
The 2026 Trade Deadline was the usual blend of chaos and surprises that we see most years. However, despite the fact that the Braves were busy on Monday like most teams, it was the move they did not make that will ultimately define their day and perhaps their season. A major hole remains in the […]
Alex Anthopoulos maintains that Braves “got better” despite underwhelming 2026 Trade Deadline
I’m going to start this by addressing the headline. When it comes to Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos’ claims that the Braves got better after the 2026 Trade Deadline, I’ll let this clip from Futurama speak for me: I mean, the Braves did add Tyler Mahle to the rotation, they added […]
Braves reinstate Ha-Seong Kim, Sean Murphy; add Lane Thomas, Tyler Mahle and Brent Suter
The Atlanta Braves announced a bevy of transactions with the reinstatement of infielder Ha-Seong Kim and catcher Sean Murphy from the injured list while adding outfielder Lane Thomas and pitchers Tyler Mahle and Brent Suter to the active roster. The latter three were the team’s trade additions prior to today’s deadline. To make room on […]
Braves 2026 Trade Deadline Grades: Disastrous Day for Alex Anthopoulos
A disastrous and lethargic trade deadline has come and gone for the Atlanta Braves. It’s time for everyone’s favorite: trade grades. A note on trade grades: there’s no perfect formula here. You could grade a player on how good he is for the role he will be assuming, or you could grade a player on […]

Today’s the big day, folks. It’s Monday, August 3 and it’s time to get locked in since the deadline is officially at 6:00 p.m. ET. Will the Braves make a huge splash? Will AA surprise us? Will it all be a big dud? It’s time to figure it all out! Keep it locked here as […]
Braves trade Eli White to Boston, per report
The Atlanta Braves have traded outfielder Eli White to the Boston Red Sox for right-handed pitcher Tyler Uberstine. The move comes just an hour before the 6:00 PM ET deadline. White’s role with Atlanta seemed in peril after the team traded for Lane Thomas several days ago. White head’s to Boston who has been active […]
Braves trade Joey Bart to White Sox, per report
We’re nearly one hour away from the actual trade deadline and apparently the Atlanta Braves and Chicago White Sox have come to an agreement on a deal. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com is reporting that the Braves have sent backup catcher Joey Bart to Chicago in exchange for 26-year-old rookie RHP reliever Duncan Davitt. Joey Bart’s […]
Chris Sale named as National League Pitcher of the Month for July
Today might be the Trade Deadline (and check out Tracker if you haven’t already) and it’s an off day for our Atlanta Braves but there’s still news to discuss outside of all of that. We’re a few days into the month of August and now Atlanta’s ace hurler has received some recognition for what he […]
