What baseball god has it out for Sean Murphy? After a long and windy road that includes his season-ending hip surgery and rehab after, Murph has played four (4) games since returning on May 4. The initial X-rays were fine per Mark Bowman, and Walt Weiss seemed optimistic. But the the catcher’s interference play in […]
There’s not a ton to be gleaned from the Atlanta Braves’ first quarter release, especially since they did not report revenue from BravesVision. No matter. There were a few nuggets in the earnings release and call. There was also confirmation of some items that, if you were reading Battery Power, you should already expect. But […]
Coming off the high of a successful west coast trip capped off by winning the series against the Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves will once again play one of the hottest teams in MLB when the Chicago Cubs come to town. The Cubs have had two separate ten game win streaks and a fifteen-game win streak […]
This post is, I suppose, only really relevant to the subset of you that has MLB.tv and has interest in watching non-Braves games. If that’s you, how do you decide what non-Braves game to watch? My answer is Stream Finder, which was once called Game Changer and was created by folks associated with Baseball Gauge, […]
After winning the weekend series in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers in one attempt to prove they are the National League’s best team, the Braves get a chance to further validate that claim against the Cubs to start the week. The Cubs have been the hottest team in baseball, and will likely prove to be […]
What a week for Braves country, huh? Two major deaths, almost back-to-back, of notable icons, starting with Ted Turner and shortly after, Bobby Cox. The Braves took the series win against the two-time national champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers. And, surprise surprise, their pitching is holding up solid. There’s a lot to talk about regarding […]
It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Atlanta Braves. Despite today being an off-day, they’ll have little time to come down from their big statement series-win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They’ll be coming home to welcome in the high-flying Cubs who have also gotten off to a very […]
After an an eventful and emotional week for Braves Country, we’ve arrived at a well-deserved off day. The Braves will be back in action tomorrow night, kicking off the homestand with a series versus the Chicago Cubs. Tuesday’s shaping up to be an eventful opener. Ha-Seong Kim set to return to the majors, updates to […]
(24-15) Gwinnett Stripers 1, (15-24) Norfolk Tides 4 Box Score It was a rude return to the Stripers for starting pitcher Carlos Carassco who was greeted with a three run home run in the first inning, along with an RBI single in the second for a grand total of four runs – which is more […]
The modern MLB Draft format only really started in 1987, as there used to be multiple drafts in each year, with January and June drafts plus secondary drafts for each. That means we are entering the 40th draft under the current format, though the number of days and rounds has changed at times in those […]
Admittedly, this post would’ve made, arguably, more sense had Bryce Elder continued to wreak havoc on the Dodgers in, and past, the sixth inning of yesterday’s game. But, he didn’t. And, if you think about it, isn’t the unknowable mystery of why he can go from Full Bamboozle to Has to be Removed from the […]
The Braves were able to complete a very successful road trip out West on Sunday with a 7-2 victory over the Dodgers. Similar to Spencer Strider on Saturday, Bryce Elder was amazing on Sunday. If both Strider and Elder can be at or near this level moving forward. the starting rotation becomes another asset for […]
Catcher Sean Murphy has had rotten injury luck since joining the Atlanta Braves via trade prior to the 2023 season. He’s only once played in more than 100 games since becoming a Braves and in 2026 he made his season debut on this past road trip after missing the end of the 2025 season and […]
Well, would you look at that? Following a disappointing series loss in Seattle that brought their lengthy streak without series losses to a close, there was every possibility that things could’ve taken a turn for the worse with a trip to the house of horrors that is Dodger Stadium. While the Dodgers have seemed somewhat […]
In the “he can’t keep getting away with this” starter battle, it was Bryce Elder who came out on top as the winning pitcher. With some drama, I must say upfront. But even though Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski outlasted Elder, you’d take Elder’s final line every day. This was a fascinating pitching duel: both Elder […]
The Braves are currently putting it all on the line in an attempt to pull off a rare series win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. One of the biggest examples of that has been Eli White’s performance in this game. In an extremely high-leverage situation where the Dodgers had Max Muncy at the plate […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking for a Mother’s Day / getaway day win in Los Angeles before returning home. Elder vs. Wrobleski starts at 4:10 pm ET. ICYMI Pitching matchup preview Lineups
The Braves will be trying to win on Mother’s Day for the first time since 2022. Walt Weiss has penciled in a very similar lineup to the one that drove in seven runs in last night’s equalizer. The one change is Eli White (still in right field, batting seventh) flipping spots with Sean Murphy (catching, […]
The Braves are trying to win it today, not just for the series. They gotta do it #ForTheMoms. I’d had a vague feeling that the Braves didn’t have a great track record on Mother’s Day, not based on any specific memories. However, my recency bias was not completely unfounded: it turns out Atlanta have lost […]
Saturday was a day filled with not just home runs, but prospect home runs. In total four games got played, with the Columbus doubleheader being rained out, and nine homers were hit by members of the Atlanta Braves farm system – including a pair of two-homer games by Logan Braunschweig and Colby Jones. We also […]
This week, we lost two key figures on Atlanta Braves history. Ted Turner accumulated discounted media, bought the Atlanta Braves, and built and rode the cable television wave to a fortune and brought the America’s Team to millions across the country. Bobby Cox served forty plus years in baseball and helped build, nurture, and inspire […]
On a sad day overall for Braves Country, due to the passing of the legendary Bobby Cox, Spencer Strider gave Atlanta fans something to be happy and hopeful about with a stellar outing, shutting down the Dodgers potent offense for 6.0 innings with 8 strikeouts and 15 whiffs. He looked as good as he has […]
Behind a stellar performance from Spencer Strider and an opportunistic offensive attack early, the Braves shook off their Dodger Stadium demons for at least one night to even up the series with a 7-2 win. Strider became the story on Saturday night, working six nearly perfect shutout innings. His slider was virtually un-hittable with a […]

Well losing the Chris Sale game was really not what the doctor ordered for the Braves playing at the Dodgers, particularly the way that the game was lost, but they have a chance to even things up tonight behind Spencer Strider. There are a number of notable changes to the Braves’ lineup, as Mauricio Dubon […]
