Reynaldo López set to begin rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett
Remember when Martín Pérez delivered what was arguably his best start of the season nearly a month ago? Pérez started on 90 minutes notice because before that game was set to begin, the scheduled starter’s knee was acting up on him and it was bad enough to result in an IL stint for the poor […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Alex Lodise hits first Double-A Home Run
The Columbus Clingstones went on a tear offensively, with Alex Lodise and Jordan Groshans each vying for the system lead in home runs with their output on Thursday night. Eric Hartman has yet to hit a home run in Double-A as those two have passed him up, but is showing some signs of life as […]
Can you live every single win and loss?
It’s been thirty plus years since I have been able to watch every single pitch of the season. From 1991 to around 1997 I saw practically every game. I got used to all the subtleties of each interaction. I heard every cliche. Watched the ups and downs of the season. In those days the Braves […]
Braves News: Grant Holmes throws shutout, Luke Sinnard promoted, and more
The Atlanta Braves earned their 75th win of the season after Thursday’s 2-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. Grant Holmes and Austin Riley allowed Atlanta to avoid the sweep during the makeup game. Holmes got the start, lasting six innings and allowing just one hit. He walked three and struck out three. Austin Riley […]
Braves at Twins (and White Sox) series recap: Weird results (so far) on a weird road trip
Hopefully once the book is complete on the 2026 regular season for the Atlanta Braves, this will have been the last time we have to talk about the Braves suffering a sweep. They were able to avert the disaster against the Diamondbacks but as it turned out, they needed to be prepared to walk into […]
Grant Holmes and the Braves shut out the White Sox to avoid a postponed sweep, 2-0
Alternatively, for the alliteratively-minded: Braves snap skid and salvage series as Holmes spins six scoreless in the South Side. Before first pitch, all things are possible. No matter our current gripes we have with the team or their performance, the time leading up to the commencement of the baseball contest fills us with a cautious […]
Braves at White Sox Chat and Discussion: Grant Holmes vs. Anthony Kay
Deja vu all over again – day game, trying to deny a sweep. First pitch for Grant Holmes vs. Anthony Kay is at 2:10 pm ET. Game Notes Pitching preview Lineups
Lane Thomas, Sean Murphy back in lineup for Braves-White Sox series finale
Before we get to the Pokemon card collector battle that is Sale vs. Misiorowski tomorrow afternoon, there’s one left to play in Chicago. Returning to Rate Field, the Braves will be trying to salvage a series against Anthony Kay and the Chicago White Sox starting at 2:10 pm ET. With the lefty Kay set to […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Brett Sears strikes out eight
It was a chock-full slate down on the farm with six games, including a pair of doubleheaders. There were also plenty of individual performances that stood out, so let’s dive in. (60-60) Gwinnett Stripers 2, (55-65) Durham Bulls 4 Box Score Game one didn’t go the way Gwinnett hoped it would, as the Stripers fell […]
Carlos Torres and Mauricio Dubón have history?
The Braves are reaching a boiling point. A blown check-swing call (and the resulting refusal to check the first base umpire) set off Mauricio Dubón in yesterday’s game. Walt Weiss ran out to rescue Mauricio, getting ejected in the process. But was this the result of a Carlos Torres poor game in Houston two years […]
Grant Holmes set to start makeup game vs. the White Sox
A lot has transpired since the Braves seemingly originated their June swoon in the Southside. The Braves, after two excruciating losses, departed Rate Field with a 45-23 record and a promise to return in August for the final contest of the three-game set. And here we are! Instead of a much-needed off day in these […]
Braves News: Division race, DSL season recap, more
Don’t look now, but the Braves have a real division race on their hands after leading solidly for most of the season. This comes with a tough stretch of games incoming against the White Sox, Brewers, and Dodgers. The Braves aren’t playing especially well right now and fWAR doesn’t indicate that they should be leading […]
Braves remain in serious funk after getting swept by Twins
The toughest road trip of the season for the Atlanta Braves has gotten off to an incredibly inauspicious start, as the NL East-leading squad went into Minneapolis and ended up getting swept by a Minnesota Twins team just scuffling to stay alive in the crowded AL Wild Card race. Things remained deadlocked until the third […]
Braves at Twins chat and discussion: AJ Smith-Shawver vs. Taj Bradley
For the second time in as many series, the Atlanta Braves are going to have to figure out a way to not get swept. This long and winding week-long road trip has gotten off to an inauspicious start so hopefully we’ll see the bats come to life and AJ Smith-Shawver help to stop the bleeding […]
Dominic Smith and Jim Jarvis return to lineup as Braves face Twins
The lineups are out for Wednesday afternoon’s getaway day game between the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins. If the Braves are going to get out of this mini-funk that they’re currently in, then they’re planning on doing it with most of the familiar faces. Here’s today’s lineup for Atlanta: Dominic Smith is making his […]
DSL Braves 2026 Season Recap
The DSL Braves season has come to a close. On paper it wasn’t a good year at just 16-39, but this was the strongest DSL Braves roster we have seen in at least a decade – particularly on the hitter side of things. This article will highlight some of the successes and failures of the […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Dixon Williams continues Home Run streak
Dixon Williams recorded an inside-the-park home run for the Emperors in their win, giving his a ridiculous stretch of six home runs in his past three games. However, it was not hitting that carried the weight on the farm. At every level the pitching showed out for Braves prospects, notably with incredible outings from Cam […]
AJ Smith-Shawver returns to the rotation (for real this time) as Braves look to avoid getting swept
With the Atlanta Braves falling into a bit of a recent funk, the attention now turns to the newly-returning AJ Smith-Shawver. After spending nearly a month in Triple-A biding his time and cooking up something serious (to the point where he was named International League Pitcher of the Week for his efforts last week), Smith-Shawver […]
Why have the Braves stopped mashing fastballs?
If I’ve heard anything about Ronald Acuña Jr. via the internet, it’s that Ronnie can’t hit the hot fastball. It’s not really true. He’s league-average via xwOBA (he’s striking 96+ MPH fastballs as good as your average hitter). He has less to show for it as the wOBA runs about 30 points lower for his […]
Braves News: AJ Smith-Shawver recalled, series loss in Minnesota, and more
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver was recalled to Atlanta, and fellow righty Tyler Kinley was designated for assignment. Smith-Shawver rejoins the Braves after spending the majority of the 2026 season in the minor leagues recovering from Tommy John surgery. He did have a brief outing at the big league level in […]
Braves’ bats lifeless, as Atlanta drops another
In the midst of a slump, especially at the plate, the Braves were hoping that Tyler Mahle could delicer another strong start to help the Braves tie up the series in Minneapolis. There were 5 batted balls over 100 MPH across both teams in the first inning, but two of the three against Mahle produced […]
Braves vs Twins chat and discussion: Tyler Mahle vs. Zebby Matthews
Join us and discuss tonight’s game in the comments below! Game Info Game Date/Time: Tuesday, August 18, 7:40 p.m. EDT Location: Target Field, Minneapolis, MN TV/Streaming: BravesVision Radio: 680 AM / 93.7 FM The Fan, Los Bravos
Mauricio Dubon starts at short, Sean Murphy catches Tyler Mahle
The Braves are rocking with Sean Murphy at catcher and Mauricio Dubon at short against the righty Matthews for the Twins. I think they should do this more, with Jim Jarvis’ bat turning back into a pumpkin and Murphy in need of live plate appearances. This post will be updated when the Twins release their […]
Braves hope Tyler Mahle can continue dominant start to his Atlanta tenure
As the Braves are in the midst of a bit of a lull in performance, particularly on offense, they will hope to get more of the same from Tyler Mahle, who has been fantastic through two starts in a Braves uniform. The Twins will throw the big righty Zebby Matthews, who has struggled mightily this […]
The shortstop situation remains bleak for the Atlanta Braves
There’s no such thing as a bad one-year deal. It’s an old baseball axiom that has remained true for quite some time, even if some cases tend to test that theory. This is one such case, as it’s become very clear that the Ha-Seong Kim one-year deal hasn’t worked out anywhere near the level to […]
