Braves News: Postseason berth clinched, playoff chase update, and more
Friday marked a big day for the Atlanta Braves, who secured a spot in the postseason after a 6-2 win over the Houston Astros. It will be the club’s eighth postseason in nine years. The game featured a strong start from Tyler Mahle, three Atlanta home runs, and some late inning hits to provide the […]
Braves clinch postseason bid with three homers in win over Astros
The Braves hit three more two-run homers and Tyler Mahle was excellent once again as Atlanta took down the Houston Astros, 6-2, and clinched a playoff bid in the National League. The Phillies also lost on Friday night, so the magic number for the division sits at three. The bats were quiet in the early […]
Braves at Astros chat and discussion: Tyler Mahle vs. Peter Lambert
The Braves will attempt to clinch a playoff spot on Friday night behind Tyler Mahle, who was been superb for Atlanta since coming over at the trade deadline. A Braves win — or Diamondbacks loss — on Friday night would clinch a postseason spot for Atlanta and would trim the magic number to four games […]
Braves deploy regular cast of characters in series opener against Astros
This is an important weekend of games for the Atlanta Braves, who can clinch a playoff spot with a win (or Diamondbacks loss) on Friday night. A win would also trim the magic number to clinch the National League East to four (or even three) pending what the Phillies do at Citi Field on Friday […]
Braves head to Houston with Tyler Mahle on the mound
It’s hard to believe, but there are just nine baseball games remaining in the regular season for the Atlanta Braves. The first of those nine will come on Friday night in Houston as the Braves battle with the Astros for first time in 2026. The Astros, despite a paltry 77-76 record and a -50 run […]
A quick look at the Postseason picture for the Braves
The magic numbers for the Atlanta Braves are starting to get lower and lower now that we’re entering the final portion of the regular season. As far clinching Atlanta’s first Postseason bid since 2024 and their eighth playoff appearance in the past nine seasons, the math is as simple as it gets. The Braves get […]
Will the Braves mess up the AL West race?
The Braves’ headlong dash through a sea of contenders is nearly over. They enjoyed an off day on Thursday, they have three against the Astros in Houston, and then a couple of series against non-contenders and that’s it, the regular season is done. While the Braves’ position is almost assured (they’ve nearly clinched a playoff […]
Braves News: Astros on deck, Cubs series recap, and more
The Atlanta Braves enjoyed an off day Thursday before heading to the Lone Star State for a weekend series with the Houston Astros. The Braves enter play with a four-game lead in the NL East and are coming off a series loss to the Chicago Cubs. The Astros also lead their division and enter play […]
Atlanta Braves off day chat and discussion: September 17
Good evening, folks. We blinked and it’s mid-September. The Braves are enjoying a much-needed off day after a stretch of thirteen straight games. This particular road trip finishes in Houston, where a win will clinch the Braves’ playoff berth as they inch toward that division crown. Did we secure postseason tickets this morning? How are […]
Braves at Cubs series recap: homers in one game, slouching in two
Coming off a series where the Braves mostly sewed up the NL East by taking two of three from the Phillies, they then departed on a road trip consisting of the final part of their September gauntlet. The first part of that road trip had them go up to Wrigley Field to face the Cubs, […]
Which poor-performing 2026 Braves arm will have the best career?
It wasn’t exactly a banner day for JR Ritchie or Owen Murphy last night, as both got knocked around by the Cubs. Ritchie was coming off some really dominant outings in Triple-A, but that didn’t translate at all. They’re also not the only somewhat-promising arms that have floundered for the Braves this year. Ritchie has […]
Braves News: JR Ritchie, A-ball All-Stars, more
JR Ritchie had a rough outing Wednesday, going 4.2 innings with 6 runs allowed, 2 homers, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. The strikeout number was at least respectable, but he continues to look like a fringe major league starter at best, despite having looked like a new pitcher over the last period in the minors […]
JR Ritchie struggles in return as Braves lose to Cubs
The Atlanta Braves took on the Chicago Cubs today in hopes of clinching a playoff spot. It would have required them to win and then get some help with hoping either the Diamondbacks or the Padres lost. JR Ritchie was called up to pitch the game to give some extra rest to the rotation and […]
Braves at Cubs chat and discussion: JR Ritchie vs Shota Imanaga
The Atlanta Braves face off against the Chicago Cubs today looking for their ninetieth win of the season with ten games to go. Their magic number is at five and after the Cubs series they have the Astros, then the Marlins and Reds. If the Braves win this evening, there is still a world where […]
Sean Murphy at catcher and Drake Baldwin at DH for Braves
The Atlanta Braves could clinch a playoff spot tonight and could inch closer to clinching the division with a win tonight. JR Ritchie has been on fire in AAA and has been called up to pitch to allow some extra rest for Chris Sale. That being said, the offense may need to score some extra […]
Five Braves prospects make A-Ball All-Star Teams
The official post-season All Star teams for A-ball have been released by Minor League Baseball, and five Atlanta Braves prospects made the teams for the Carolina League and the South Atlantic League – though you could also argue for one snub. In Low-A Augusta in the Carolina League, Conor Essenburg and Luis Guanipa took two […]
JR Ritchie is back and he is making the start against the Cubs
The Atlanta Braves are inching closer to clinching the division with their magic number at five with their win last night against the Chicago Cubs. It appears that the Braves will not catch the Dodgers for the second seed and first round bye, which is likely why the decision was made to bring up JR […]
Braves biweekly: slouching towards the NL East title
Past summaries: There were a few overarching themes in play in the first half of September for the Braves: Put the above together, and the Braves went 7-7 in September’s first half. That 7-7, though, was well-scattered, as they went 4-3 against the Phillies, capturing the tiebreaker and more or less cementing their spot atop […]
Where will Didier Fuentes finish in Rookie of the Year voting?
I’m shamelessly stealing from the comments, because it’s a long season and I had nothing else for today anyway. Didier Fuentes is 12th among relievers with 2.0 fWAR. He also ranks in the top 15 in WPA, which isn’t really something he did alone, but is a bit of a tiebreaker when others are close. […]
Braves News: Martín Pérez earns 100th win, magic number 5, and more
The Atlanta Braves evened the series against the Chicago Cubs after Tuesday night’s 6-3 win. Martín Pérez got the start, lasting six innings and allowing three runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out four. Though a bit of a shaky start, Pérez ultimately got the win, the 100th of his career. The […]
Braves homer their way to comeback win over Cubs, drop NL East magic number to 5
Wednesday’s Braves game at Wrigley Field was following a similar script to Tuesday’s 7-3 loss to the Cubs. Until Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies and Drake Baldwin changed the ending. The trio of Braves each delivered a two-run homer in the sixth, seventh and ninth innings, respectively, to overcome a stagnant start and lift Atlanta […]
Braves at Cubs chat and discussion: Martín Pérez vs. Kevin Gausman
The Atlanta Braves enter Tuesday night with a magic number of four to clinch a postseason spot and a magic number of seven to clinch the NL East. They’ll look to cut into those respective numbers when they continue their series against the Chicago Cubs with a 7:40 p.m. EDT game at Wrigley Field which […]
Another Acuña DH day, Brewer Hicklin starts in right as Braves continue series at Cubs
The Braves have managed Ronald Acuña Jr. carefully since his return from a second injured list stint this season due to a left hamstring strain That plan has included mixing in days for Acuña as designated hitter, a role he will fill for the second time in three days when the Braves continue their three-game […]
Braves send Martín Pérez to mound looking to even Cubs series
The start of Atlanta’s series at the Chicago Cubs didn’t exactly go to plan. A short and ineffective Reynaldo López start ended with him going back on the injured list and dug the Braves an early hole. The offense showed fight late but couldn’t claw back into the game, resulting in a series-opening 7-3 loss. […]
Tate Southisene headlines eight Braves prospects heading to 2026 Arizona Fall League
It’s that time of year again, folks. Sure, the Postseason is right around the corner and that’s exciting all but it’s also a fun time for keeping track of prospects as well. The Arizona Fall League will get underway on October 3 and there will be plenty of representation of the Atlanta Braves’ farm system […]
