Dom Smith back in Braves lineup for series finale
The stage is set as the Atlanta Braves look to avoid a sweep against the New York Yankees. Let’s take a look at the lineups. Dominic Smith has returned to DH for the Braves and is batting in the sixth spot. Other than that, the lineup replicates yesterday’s. The bat power is expected (or hoped) […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Owen Carey Slams First Double-A Homer
Saturday was a busy day in the Atlanta Braves farm system, with a total of six games played, that the Braves affiliates split. The headliner had to be Owen Carey hitting his first Double-A home run just a handful of games into his promotion. However we also got to see JR Ritchie throw five innings […]
Grant Holmes takes the mound in Yankees finale
The Atlanta Braves are once again in a position of avoiding a sweep. The New York Yankees pulled off two low-scoring wins and are looking to accomplish a third in this finale before the Braves return home to face the team just across the city. Grant Holmes is currently boasting a 3.77 ERA and is […]
Braves News: Ronald Acuna, tough loss, more
It sure looks like Ronald Acuna Jr. is back to his all-world self and that is huge news for the Braves. Outside of the obvious massive upgrade in talent on offense, that also balances out the lineup that has been very left-handed heavy in his absence and with Austin Riley floundering. As we enter the […]
Braves lose a tight one in New York for a series loss
We were treated to a fun pitching matchup between Chris Sale and Gerrit Cole in the Bronx on Saturday. Sale blinked first in the second, allowing a run on a double and a single, despite pumping upper 90s heat with his fastball. After a couple more quiet innings, the Braves flipped the script in the […]

Join us and discuss today’s afternoon game in the comments below!
Ronald Acuna DHs, as Mike Yastrzemski mans right field
Drake Baldwin leads off again, as Ronald Acuna gets a day off in the field, batting second and DHing. Mike Yastrzemski and Mauricio Dubon man the corner outfield spots around Michael Harris. Jim Jarvis returns to the starting lineup, batting ninth and playing shortstop. Meanwhile, the Yankees lineup is as follows. Join us as the […]
Braves look to back Chris Sale in the Bronx
After the Braves got a gem of a start from Tyler Mahle in his Braves’ debut as the headline trade deadline addition, Chris Sale will look to produce more of the same in the Bronx from the rotation. Gerrit Cole will take the mound for the pinstripes, as he is more of a third starter […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Brett Sears tosses seven innings for Columbus
It was a pretty lackluster day down on the farm overall, but there were plenty of performances that stood out. Let’s dive into it. (57-53) Gwinnett Stripers, (55-54) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (POSTPONED) Mother Nature got in the way of this one, as the Stripers’ game on Friday was rained out. Friday’s game will be completed […]
Is Austin Riley back?
It might be possible that second half Austin RileyTM has arrived. Maybe we should ask Fernando Cruz. It might be possible. The man was left for dead in the first half, only sporting a .207/.288/.329, a 73 wRC+, and 9 home runs in 385 plate appearances. It wasn’t just the top-line numbers. He was genuinely […]
Braves News: Tyler Mahle debuts, win streak snapped, and more
The Atlanta Braves’ eight-game win streak came to an end on Friday after a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Tyler Mahle, acquired just ahead of the trade deadline, made his Braves debut and was fantastic. In six scoreless innings, he allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out nine. Though a terrific start […]
Braves’ 8-game win streak snapped behind late collapse, spoiling Tyler Mahle’s debut
With Tyler Mahle making his Atlanta debut and New York’s Max Fried facing his former team for the first time, it’s safe to say Friday night’s series opener between the Braves and Yankees was among the most anticipated pitching matchups of the season. Both of them more than delivered on the high expectations. Each starter […]
Braves vs. Yankees chat and discussion: Tyler Mahle vs. Max Fried
We’re in for a major “old friend” alert Friday night as former World Series champion Braves pitcher Max Fried faces his former team for the first time as his second season with the Yankees nears the homestretch. On the Braves side, Tyler Mahle, acquired from the Giants ahead of the trade deadline, will make his […]
Braves at Yankees rain delay chat and discussion
So the weather in New York City is currently atrocious. There’s a nasty weather system rolling through the area at the moment and it’s gotten to the point where the tarp is on the field and the New York Yankees have already announced that their series-opener against our Atlanta Braves will have a delayed start. […]
Ha-Seong Kim returns to lineup for Braves’ opener at Yankees
As the Braves kick off a three-game series on the road against the Yankees, Ha-Seong Kim will make his return to the lineup, playing shortstop and hitting ninth. It’ll be his first game action since June 30, not long after which he was placed on the injured list with middle finger inflammation. Before his IL […]
Braves bring 8-game win streak to Big Apple for Tyler Mahle’s debut vs. Yankees
The Atlanta Braves are carrying some strong vibes into this weekend’s road series at the New York Yankees. They are fresh off a 7-0 homestand against the Nationals and Marlins, and have won a season-long eight straight games, pushing their NL East lead back to 8.5 games. They’ll put that on the line in the […]
Braves vs. Marlins series recap: Braves batter up Fish and keep streak going
It’s usually a bad time for the Miami Marlins to run into the Atlanta Braves, based on how these two teams have fared against each other for nearly a decade-and-a-half now. It was an especially bad time for Miami this time around as the Braves came into this series looking hot and playing well. As […]
Ken Rosenthal: Braves and Rangers “had trade in place” for Jacob deGrom
In the press conference immediately following the MLB Trade Deadline, Atlanta Braves President of Baseball Operations Alex Anthopoulos stated that outside of Tarik Skubal, there was only one other starting pitcher (who he refused to name at the time) who they viewed as an “impact starter” at this year’s trade deadline. There was a lot […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Cam Caminiti Makes Double-A Debut
Cam Caminiti had a matchup with Jesus Made and the Biloxi Shuckers in his first taste of Double-A action, and he rose to the challenge nicely with a solid start. Caminiti’s pitching helped the Clingstones stay in position for a walk-off win. In Single-A Davis Polo kept his magnificent run of pitching going with six […]
Do you still think of Max Fried as “our” guy?
Tonight, the Braves will face Max Fried for the first time ever — they missed facing him when the Yankees visited Atlanta last year. (The three games in that series involved a bullpen game, a Will Warren start, and a Marcus Stroman start.) Fried’s been a Yankee for about a season and a half now, […]
Braves News: Win streak extended, Eric Hartman goes 20/40, and more
The Atlanta Braves have won their eighth straight after Thursday’s 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins. Between a solid outing from Martín Pérez and a 14-hit night for the Atlanta lineup, things went well all around. Despite the rain delay, the Braves were able to complete the sweep of the Fish and earned their 70th […]
Braves blow Marlins out of the water for eighth straight win, 11-3
Baseball is a funny game. It’s hard to win a lot. You win seven straight, sweep one team, win a series against another, Martin Perez is on the hill, it’s rainy — you figure, no one can win ‘em all, we’ll get ‘em tomorrow, we’re in a good place, yadda yadda yadda. Well, turns out, […]
Braves vs Marlins chat and discussion: Martin Perez vs. Janson Junk
Every single time I clone the game coverage posts and for the game thread I don’t even have to erase Martin Perez’ name. Sigh.
Braves vs. Marlins rain delay chat and discussion
Welp! Three innings have been played but the elements have won out for the time being and the tarp is now on the field as the Atlanta Braves are up 2-0 on the Miami Marlins. Keep it right here for more updates, as we will have more information on a restart as soon as we […]
Mauricio Dubon gives Ozzie Albies a breather as Braves go for sweep of Fish
For 114 games this season, Ozzie Albies has been in the starting lineup. Sometimes he’s hit third, sometimes he’s hit sixth, he had a long stretch hitting second… but he’s been in there. Tonight, for the first time in 2026, Albies won’t be in there. He gives way to Mauricio Dubon, who will slide over […]
