Your one stop shop for everything Atlanta Braves
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves have announced some joyous news before Saturday night’s home game versus the Cleveland Guardians. I didn’t know Michael was anticipating, which makes me even more excited. Michael Harris will go on the paternity list. Infielder slash part time outfielder slash emergency late inning reliever Luke Williams will join the […]
Happy City Connect Saturday to all who celebrate. Which, to be clear, should be everyone. Last night’s Dale Murphy-honoring offensive outburst propelled the Braves to a Game 1 win, teeing up the chance for a series win in Game 2 tonight. In case you were wondering, the Braves’ records in the previous City Connect uniforms […]
Hartman continued his strong offensive start to the season for the Emperors despite the loss. (8-5) Gwinnett Stripers 6, (6-6) Nashville Sounds 5 Box Score It took some late inning magic and a bit of luck, but Gwinnett managed to get the win by walking off Nashville on Friday to move up to three games […]
Hey, we saw a mix of Good Bryce Elder and Bad Bryce Elder last night. He was pretty decent outside of the home run through four innings. Then he was unable to muddle through the fifth inning. He left despite only throwing 76 pitches (huh, did we even see that last year). I’m encouraged by […]
The Atlanta Braves started this weekend’s series out with a bang after Friday night’s 11-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Though it took a few innings for the offense to get going, the Braves’ bats came to life as the lineup racked up 15 hits. Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Michael Harris II joined […]
As the Braves debuted their blue City Connect 2.0 jerseys, they hoped for more quality innings from Bryce Elder in the first game of a homestand against the Guardians. Elder walked Jose Ramirez in the first, but struck the next batter out to start the game with a scoreless frame. Ronald Acuna nearly made my […]
The Braves host the Guardians in a battle of the two MLB teams who have yet to lose a series. For game 1, Bryce Elder starts for Atlanta and Slade Cecconi starts for the Guardians. Today’s game starts at 7:15 PM ET in Atlanta and broadcast on BravesVision. Join us and discuss today’s game in […]
As the Braves kick off their homestand against the Guardians, you can read about the pitching matchup between Bryce Elder and Slade Cecconi in the game preview here. Michael Harris returns to his spot in centerfield and at the bottom of the lineup, as the Braves hope he can get better results, as he has […]
You have spoken and honestly, your reaction was a little surprising. Given the negativity generated by much of the fan base around Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryce Elder coming into the regular season, only 12-percent were not-at-all sold on Elder’s strong beginning to the 2026 season. That’s not to say most of you are convinced, […]
The two teams in MLB that are yet to lose a series will face off in Atlanta this weekend, as the Braves host the Guardians. Bryce Elder will take the mound in game 1 and the Braves hope he can keep up his hot start to the season. He has been getting the job done […]
The affiliates left much to be desired on Thursday evening, but the one man who kept his great season rolling was David McCabe. McCabe has homered in half of Columbus’s games so far, and his performance led to the only win in the system. In Augusta Luis Arestigueta made his season debut and looked sharp, […]
This is a quick one, since it’s basically, “What do you think of X if applied to MLB?” It doesn’t wholly apply in any way, but I still thought it was interesting. A few days ago, Nate Silver put forth a never-gonna-happen-but-still-fun-to-read “fix” for the NBA’s tanking problem, involving a new meta-currency and changing NBA’s […]
The Atlanta Braves return to Truist Park and kick off the weekend with a three-game set against the Cleveland Guardians. The Braves enter play with an 8-5 record and are coming off a series win in Anaheim, where the run column was high, and emotions even higher. The Guardians come to town with the same […]
How are we all faring on this first off day? Bored yet? ICYMI: Demetrius had a great chat with Peter Moylan, Ronald is all over the promotional material for the new City Connects, and we published a recap + some takeaways from the series vs. the Halos. Have a great evening!
Right before Wednesday’s series finale between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels, I got a chance to chat with former Braves reliever and current BravesVision TV analyst Peter Moylan. Moylan was gracious enough to share some of his time with us and so I got the chance to ask him some questions about […]
I think this series is our clearest evidence yet that 2026 should be a better year for the Atlanta Braves than 2025 was. Sure, it’s still very early and 13 games is only a small drop in the bucket of a full 162-game season but the Braves have already just gotten done doing something that […]
Yesterday was a momentous day in Braves franchise history: #715 for Hammerin’ Hank. I will never forget being moved by all of the little details of the first City Connects that honored Aaron’s legacy – the embroidered “Keep Swinging” on the hat, the Art-Deco crown on the sleeve, the 715 scoreboard design on the inside […]
(7-4) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (5-5) Nashville Sounds 0 Box Score Gwinnett rode an excellent start from Didier Fuentes to a shutout victory on Wednesday, as the Stripers moved to 7-4 on the young season. In six innings of work, Fuentes scattered just two hits while striking out eight in the process. The only blemish for […]
As we reach April and start to get closer to the 2026 MLB Draft, we have looked at the college players in this draft a couple of times this season already. Now it’s time to turn our attention to some of the high school options that the Atlanta Braves may want to select this year. […]
So, don’t get me wrong. I’d prefer “full ABS” from the get-go, or, failing that, way more (unsuccessful) challenges than just two. But, failing all of that, here’s another thought. Up until this season, the strike zone box overlaid on the screen during baseball broadcasts was pretty awful. You could follow along on Gameday or […]
Well the Braves are quietly cruising so far this season, with a strong 8-5 record and tied for the MLB lead in run differential. The rotation hasn’t been a weakness yet overall, though the fifth spot had been pretty rough, and while the offense hasn’t been truly humming, only 3 teams in MLB have scored […]
Okay, so technically relentless would be scoring in every inning, and the Braves only scored in five of the nine frames available to them, but hey — it worked just fine. The offense started early and didn’t stop until well past clobberin’ time, leading to an 8-2 victory over the Angels. Meanwhile, Grant Holmes did […]
The updated verdict is out for Los Angeles Angels’ Jorge Soler and Atlanta Braves’ Reynaldo López. Both players were initially set to receive a seven-game suspension following last night’s viral altercation, per Jeff Passan. However, after filing an appeal, less than an hour later, AJC Braves beat writer Chad Bishop reported that López had gotten […]
It’s time to paste the Statcast graphic into the body of this post because it wasn’t available when I was doing the lineups post, and also, for the Braves to have a successful West Coast-ish road trip and continue to be unbeaten series-wise in 2026, right? Oy.
Is Eli White okay? I haven’t seen anything indicating he is, but that makes this particular Braves arrangement a bit of a headscratcher: A lot of this is what we’ve seen be the Braves’ usual fare against lefties this season. But Mike Yastrzemski is hanging out there, left-on-left, in the seventh spot in the lineup. […]
