It’s funny that it happened yesterday for two reasons, at least to me. First, in the recap thread for Sunday’s game, there was a brief exchange about non-competitive games. Using a couple of different methodologies, True2Atlanta and I noted that there have only been four-ish games where the Braves weren’t competitive. I did a method […]
Well that was less than fun. Braves lost 12-0 on Monday against the Marlins. It was the worst loss of the season for the Braves on a rare night where they simply had no answers. While these games happen to all teams at least a few times a year, there is an opportunity for the […]
The Braves started a four game series in Miami with JR Ritchie on the mound, facing Max Meyer for Miami. The first three half-innings were fairly quiet, as both pitchers worked around a baserunner here or there, with a not-so-brief interlude, as the home plate ump was hit in the mask with a foul ball […]
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have the highest winning percentage, Division lead, and Swag LevelTM in the league, have made a transaction before tonight’s game with the Miami Marlins. The Braves have reinstated Ronald Acuña from the 10-day Injured List. Ronald has been recovering from a Grade 1 hamstring strain since May 3rd. […]

The Braves start a four-game series in Miami today, before returning home for a weekend series. JR Ritchie will take the mound for Atlanta, while Max Meyer will start for Miami. Walt Weiss is putting Austin Riley back into the cleanup spot, as he has shown some life of late after some early season struggles. […]
The Braves had a solid 4-2 homestand, winning both series and will now take a quick 4 game road trip to Miami before returning home. This would be a nice time to get greedy and take 3 or 4 from this series against the offensively challenged Marlins. For game 1 today, they will send JR […]
It’s back to facing off against the usual suspects for the Atlanta Braves, as their 2026 train now rolls into familiar territory for the next week of baseball action. This includes four games with the Marlins in Miami and three games at home against the Nationals. This is certainly a golden chance for the Braves […]
With the MLB Draft only about two months away I thought it would be good to examine the history of the players selected with the picks the Atlanta Braves have in the 2026 MLB Draft. With the Braves picking 26th overall for their second first round selection, I decided to start by looking at the […]
Sunday saw the teams in the Atlanta Braves farm system split the results of four games. More importantly we got to see Luis Guanipa and Tate Southisene help carry the Augusta offense, the best start of the season for Cade Kuehler, and Dixon Williams record another extra base hit. Durham Bulls 7, Gwinnett Stripers 6 […]
A quick one because I got rear-ended yesterday and am currently dealing with insurance-and-other-bureaucracy hell. Yay me. I saw earlier that John Brebbia was sent packing over the weekend. He’s not exactly an iconic Brave, but nonetheless, this franchise does circle back to old friends fairly often. Travis d’Arnaud would potentially be an option given […]
For the sixth straight Sunday, the Braves were victorious. And even more enjoyable was the Braves got the job done early in the 8-1 win over the Red Sox. Atlanta just continues to roll along, as they are now 14-1-1 in individual series so far this season. Another good developlment is the production of Mike […]
The quick six-game homestand for the Atlanta Braves is now over and like everything they’ve done so far during this season, they passed the test with flying colors. They proved their point against a very good Cubs team in order to build upon a huge series win at Dodger Stadium and then the Braves had […]
After a close win Friday and a narrow loss Saturday, the Atlanta Braves left no doubt in their Sunday series finale against the Boston Red Sox at Truist Park. The Braves leapt out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and a 5-0 advantage through two, coasting to an 8-1 win to remain unbeaten […]
After eking out a win Friday night and blowing a late lead Saturday night, the series is on the line when the Braves and Red Sox face off Sunday afternoon at 1:35 p.m. EDT. Grant Holmes gets a regular-rest turnaround on the Braves’ starter carousel against Brayan Bello, who has been bad as a starter […]
In the middle of the sixth inning of a game where the Atlanta Braves were firmly in control of things against the Boston Red Sox, the skies suddenly opened up. First, they were able to play through a bit of hail but once they went out there for the bottom of the sixth inning, the […]
There are a number of changes to the Braves’ lineup as they face their first right-handed pitcher of the Red Sox series in Sunday’s finale. Most notably, the Braves are giving their top two shortstop options in Mauricio Dubon and Ha-Seong Kim the day off, starting Jorge Mateo at short and seventh in the lineup. […]
Saturday saw a lot of action in the Atlanta Braves farm system. Michael Martinez homered for the second straight day, as his red hot start to the FCL season continues. The entire Augusta lineup had big days, as did David McCabe, Manuel Campos, and Yamvier Carrero. On the pitching side, we got to see great […]
The first two games of this weekend’s Braves-Red Sox series couldn’t have been much closer, with each team claiming a 3-2 win. After Boston used an eighth-inning homer from Willson Contreras to win Saturday night’s game, the rubber match is set for Sunday at 1:35 p.m. at Truist Park. The Braves, who have lost just […]
I’ll be honest. College baseball is decidedly not my thing. The very best college prospects sometimes end up in Double-A, while the vast majority will be sent to A ball or perhaps the complex. If I wanted that I could, you know, go see actual minor leaguers in person. I know “gotta support the school” […]
The Braves lost Saturday night and will now have a chance at 1:35 PM ET today to take the series win with them from a series that they really should win. Once again, bullpen fatigue bit them, as this sort of six-man rotation arrangement with two hybrid-long-men in Reynaldo Lopez (who is also untrustworthy) and […]
Remember when we just complained about the third time through the order? We didn’t know how good we had it. Holding on to a slim lead and wanting to give their top bullpen arms a break, the Braves opted not only to run Bryce Elder through the Red Sox order a third time, but also […]
Well, it’s time to see if the Braves can win another series by taking back-to-back games. Bryce Elder, who is hopefully up to being Bryce Eldar again, faces Payton Tolle. I really want to have some kind of riff on Tolle’s name with The Phantom Tollbooth but it gets awkward — Phaynton Tollebooth? Nah. What […]
Well, I’m not going to say the “Mauricio Dubon leads off against lefties” experiment is over, but whatever the case may be, it’s at least on hiatus for tonight’s game against Payton Tolle and the Red Sox: Austin Riley is back hitting cleanup, and Michael Harris II has dropped to sixth. These all sort make […]
The Bryce Elder saga continues. At least it’s a happier one than in years past… though what about the MLB-best Braves isn’t, at this point? Elder got things started on the right foot this year with an altered pitch mix and augmented slider, with three good outings in his first four tries. His collective line […]
