Matt Olson walks it off as Braves pull off their second sweep in a row
The Atlanta Braves once again left it late but they still got the job done and were able to break out the brooms one more time. Thanks to a Matt Olson RBI single in extra innings, the Braves are now winners of seven-straight games following a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. This time, we […]
Braves vs. Rockies chat and discussion: Tyler Mahle vs. Mason Adams
Alright, folks! The Braves are going for a second sweep in a row in order to keep things going in the right direction heading into September. Can Tyler Mahle continue getting it done on the mound, himself? Will the Rockies continue nipping at Atlanta’s heels during this series? It’s time to figure it all out, […]
Sean Murphy hits seventh, Ha-Seong Kim back in the lineup for Rockies finale
The Braves have re-added Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim to the lineup, with Murphy moving up to the seventh spot: Murphy made his season debut hitting seventh, but has largely hit eighth or ninth since his most recent reactivation from the Injured List. With Mauricio Dubon in left field, Mike Yastrzemski gets a “day off.” […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Daniel Brooks Dominant, Hartman Steals 50th
Saturday’s action in the Atlanta Braves system was headlined by another dominant outing from Daniel Brooks for Rome. The other big story is the fact that Eric Hartman crossed the 50 stolen base mark, and kept going. Same story for Luis Guanipa, though it was the 40-steal mark for him. We also got homers from […]
Tyler Mahle takes the mound as Braves go for sweep of Rockies
There’s whiplash-inducing, and then there’s whatever the Braves have done in August. The month started with five wins in a row, the bulk of an eight-game winning streak. Then there was a stretch where the Braves won just one of five series, including suffering a sweep at the hands of the Twins. But, they’re reeling […]
Braves News: Martin Perez, taking care of business, more
Martin Perez has given this Braves team 121.0 important innings of reasonably well pitched and fortunate innings this season. It was far from a lock that he would make the roster and he was even DFA’d, but those innings have been very important to Atlanta’s current position. He hasn’t pitched like a 3.05 ERA pitcher, […]
Braves offense does just enough to back stellar pitching
After a late scratch of the Rockies’ starting pitcher, the Braves were hoping to secure a series win against the Colorado bullpen with Martin Perez on the mound. The game started slowly, with scattered baserunners but no runs, exactly what you’d expect in a matchup between Martin Perez and the Rockies bullpen in 2026. The […]

Start of Braves-Rockies delayed due to rain
The bad news is that today’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Colorado Rockies won’t be starting on time. The tarp has been on the field for just over half an hour now , as scattered showers have once again hit The Battery. It’s kind of similar to what happened on Friday night, which […]
Mauricio Dubon returns to the cleanup spot, playing shortstop
After a good night from Ronald Acuna on Friday, he slots back in batting second behind Baldwin, as Mauricio Dubon returns to batting cleanup. The Braves have a fairly soft pitching matchup tonight, so hopefully they can get some more offensive momentum going. Meanwhile, the Rockies lineup can be viewed below. As you can see, […]
Braves look for series win behind Martin Perez
Well after two electric series against the two best teams in the NL, the Braves have quite the drop-off in competition, facing the Rockies. They took care of business on Friday night behind Grant Holmes and will now hope for another win behind Martin Perez in what is a favorable pitching matchup for Atlanta, despite […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Augusta trio strikes out 16 in win
All in all, it was a very productive day down on the farm filled with high-powered offenses and stellar pitching performances led mostly by Augusta. Let’s dive into it all. (66-63) Gwinnett Stripers 7, (57-71) Louisville Bats 5 Box Score In what was an exciting back-and-forth affair, Gwinnett managed to squeak out a narrow win […]
Do you want to name this Georgia kitty?
The cat distribution system is functioning in Lawrenceville, Georgia this week. The Gwinnett Stripers were blessed with a little baby orange furball yesterday. Check out that third from the last panel. My word, I don’t need anything else to take care and shelter at the moment, but I’m finding a blanket for this handsome fellow […]
Braves News: Hurston Waldrep, Spencer Schwellenbach updates, and more
The Atlanta Braves received some unfortunate news on the pitching front Friday, as two starting pitchers will be undergoing surgery. Right-hander Hurston Waldrep will undergo Tommy John surgery, requiring him to miss all of the 2027 season. Fellow righty Spencer Schwellenbach will undergo surgery on the same elbow he fractured last year. There has not […]
Harris homer leads Braves’ hit parade as Braves win 80th game and series opener versus the Rockies
You can’t get a high-octane, 1-0 complete game every night. The series opener for Braves-Rockies was always bound to feel different than this last few nights versus Los Angeles, and boy, did it deliver on that front. The swing-happy Rockies collected eleven singles and one double off of the Braves pitching staff. But the Braves […]
Rockies at Braves Chat and Discussion: Grant Holmes vs. Tomoyuki Sugano
Get your Friday reds on – it’s nearly time for the Braves-Rockies series opener. Dubie gets to be the featured photo on this today because of the time he left eyeblack on the wall at Coors the last time we faced the Rockies. Join us in the comments this evening, won’t you? I’d originally said […]
Hurston Waldrep and Spencer Schwellenbach will have surgery, plus updates on Spencer Strider and Robert Suarez
The Atlanta Braves have announced that injured starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep will have to undergo “Tommy John” surgery and fellow starter Spencer Schwellenbach will also have surgery on the same elbow fracture he suffered last year. Waldrep will likely miss all of 2027. No timetable on Schwellenbach is available. More information is below. Ahead of […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. returns to hit cleanup, Austin Riley gets a day off as Braves open series against Colorado
New series, new lineup. The homestand continues with the Colorado Rockies in town for the weekend. For tonight’s opener, Walt Weiss has made some adjustments: Lots to unpack here, but my eyes went straight to the cleanup spot. Ronald Acuña Jr., after having a night off yesterday, will return to right field and hit fourth […]
Grant Holmes starts the Friday night showdown in Rockies series opener
TGIF, folks. How are we feeling after that series sweep? For most enjoyers of the sport, those three games were hailed as “good baseball.” Now that we’re on the other side of it, I agree, but it was a very stressful three nights. Brandon Gaudin wasn’t lying when he called it “a taste of October” […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Luis Guanipa Goes Deep
Luis Guanipa has started to find some success in Rome, and started out his night with his third High-A home run and 14th of the year. He was unfortunately the only Emps batter who was awake, but the other levels provided some spark on the offensive end. In Triple-A Garrett Baumann is back with the […]
What’s your favorite Chris Sale memory?
Was it last night? Him receiving his sword? Maybe some specific start from earlier this year… or 2024? Maybe, in retrospect, it’s just learning that he was acquired for Vaughn Grissom, with the Red Sox paying him to pitch in Atlanta that year. Floor is yours, I’m gonna go back to watching last night’s performance.
Braves News: Chris Sale throws shutout, Robert Suarez update, and more
It was a night to remember for Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, who completed the sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers after Thursday’s 1-0 win. Sale was dominant, throwing his first shutout since 2019. He went the distance, throwing a complete game and allowing just five hits. He struck out 11. Drake Baldwin accounted […]
Braves vs. Dodgers series recap: A spectacularly strange sweep
Shohei Ohtani ending a game stranded at third base with a leadoff triple. An .066 hitter coming up huge with a walk-off hit. A game ending 1-0 where the only run was scored on the first pitch of the game for the winning team. We all know that baseball is a deeply weird sport and […]
Sale on brooms: ace’s shutout sweeps away Dodgers, 1-0
Chris Sale is a consummate ace. It seems unlikely that anyone would contest this at this point, but if they ever do… just point ‘em at this game. In a marquee pitching matchup that featured Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the other side, it was Sale and the Braves that prevailed, as the grizzled southpaw gave Atlanta […]
