Braves Minor League Recap: Rain proves too dominant, in quiet day on farm
(55-52) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (50-57) Durham Bulls 8 Box Score A bad start to the game was too much for the Stripers to overcome as they allowed eight earned runs in the games first three innings. Garrett Baumann got the start and it was a bit of a disaster. He had a single whiff, while […]
Would you trade a bunch of pitching prospects for Jose Soriano and Reid Detmers?
This thought exercise was admittedly more amusing before the Braves traded for Tyler Mahle (whose online handle in places is somehow MahlebusMostWanted, what a guy), but anyway, here goes. You are Alex Anthopoulos or his proxy, and connecting with John Mozeliak of the Angels, or his proxy. For some reason, you have been told that […]

Braves at Nationals series recap: Dominance from Atlanta heading into the Deadline
What’s the best way to make an annoying series loss to the 2026 New York Mets look like ancient history? Win a four-game series against a team that was over .500 coming into the series, why don’t you? Indeed, the Atlanta Braves are now riding a bit high following a very strong bounce-back series against […]
Mike Yastrzemski and Matt Olson homer as Braves mop the Nationals, 4-2
How sweet it is. In a four-game set between two NL East teams, the Atlanta Braves have swept mopped the Washington Nationals, extending their win streak to five and improving to 67-45.

Braves looking to mop Cade Cavalli and the Nationals in Sunday series finale
August 1st started off with a bang, didn’t it?

Braves News: Lane Thomas trade, Reynaldo Lopez injury, much more
Well the Braves made their first of likely a handful of notable trades this trade deadline, trading two fringey pitching prospects for Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter from the Royals.
