Another Sunday, another rubber match for the Atlanta Braves. For the third straight weekend — and the fourth out of the last five — the series will be on the line in the deciding game Sunday when the Braves host the Washington Nationals at 4:10 p.m. EDT. Given, rubber matches have been no problem for […]
Saturday saw the teams in the Atlanta Braves organization split six games down the middle. Cade Kuehler threw his third straight great game, while Isaiah Drake, John Gil, and Jim Jarvis all had notable days at the plate. We also got to get the full Jhancarlos Lara experience, where he got himself into trouble, but […]
Do you know the last game when the Atlanta Braves weren’t in first place by the end of the day? Do you know when Walt Weiss tackled Jorge Soler? If you know one then you know the other. Let’s go back to April 7th. I don’t know that it saved the season. But for the […]
Yesterday, Grant McAuley of Atlanta’s 92.9 the Game, From The Diamond and Battery Power, spoke with injured Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach about his rehabilitation progression. Schwellenbach told McAuley that he has starting throwing from 60 feet on flat ground every other day – a process that began six days ago. That will be […]
The Braves lost a game 2-0 to the Nationals, which is unfortunate because the Nationals are very much the profile of team that you should beat if you hold them to 2 runs (though statistically that applies to every team, the Nationals are especially pitching-deficient. That said, the Braves still have a chance for a […]
It’s an understatement to say the Atlanta Braves’ run support didn’t show up in today’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. Falling 2-0, they just couldn’t find a way to rally late and get on the board with only one hit managed. Coming off a rain delay in the middle of the second inning, both teams […]
The rain came down in the middle of the second inning after threatening to do so since before the game started. Hang out here while we wait for the Braves and Nationals to re-start. No updates yet on the restart time. The tarps is still on the field, but not in the stands. Looks like […]
Game two is underway, with the Washington Nationals looking to bounce back after being walked off in yesterday’s matchup in extras. The Atlanta Braves are expecting to win the series with Grant Holmes on the mound today. Check back in for a recap on how it all unravels at Truist. First pitch is set for […]
It’s a mixture of sunshine and overcast here in Atlanta, and rain is expected to come in later in the evening, but the show must go on…until further notice. Let’s look at these Saturday lineups. An impressive walk-off from a line-drive RBI single from Chadwick Tromp ended yesterday’s game one matchup against the Nationals in […]
After a stunning walk-off in the 11th inning to win yesterday’s matchup, the Atlanta Braves are looking for a series win against the high-offensive-powered Washington Nationals with Grant Holmes on the mound. Holmes, who’s holding a 3.80 ERA and a 3-1 record, had a nice outing against the Boston Red Sox last weekend (May 17). […]
While the weather complicated things on Friday by getting in the way of half the minor league games, there was still some solid action to dive into. Let’s get into it. (27-22) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (25-24) Charlotte Knights 4 Box Score Gwinnett took this one into extra innings but failed to come away with a […]
The Braves have released 11.5 million dollars of bullpen funds that were committed to Aaron Bummer and Joel Payamps. A few relievers, like Carlos Carrasco, Ian Hamilton, and Osvaldo Bido, have come and gone (and/or come and gone in a circular pattern). Meanwhile, James Karinchak has been silencing Triple-A batters in obscurity. I know he […]
The Atlanta Braves improved to 36-16 after Friday night’s 5-4 win over the Washington Nationals. The win came in walk-off fashion, and this time, Chadwick Tromp was the hero, ripping a hit in the 11th inning to score Eli White. The hit capped a memorable night for Tromp, the fourth string catcher, who not only […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Washington Nationals tonight in a matchup that featured the top two scoring offenses in MLB thus far. Dating back to 2018 when the Braves’ rebuild ended they have won seven of their last eight season sets against the Nationals going 80-49 in that timeframe. With these two high powered […]
The Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals are facing on in a battle of MLB’s top two scoring offenses. It is highly likely that no one truly predicted that these two teams would have scored the most runs this far into the season. The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Braves have […]
In a matchup of the top two offenses so far in MLB this season, the Atlanta Braves will be taking on the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have continued their strong offensive showing leading MLB in runs and doubles while being fourth in OPS. The Braves are right behind them scoring the second most runs while […]
The Atlanta Braves are rolling. After the win yesterday against the Marlins, they now hold sole possession of the best run differential in MLB. They also have the most wins while reaching thirty-five wins the fastest they have in a season since their rebuild ended in 2018. Today starts a new series with a Washington […]
If I told you beforehand that the Atlanta Braves would end up winning their first four-game series of the season in order to keep this fantastic run of form to start the season going, you absolutely would’ve taken it. With that being said, this was definitely a bit of a Monkey’s Paw situation where the […]
It was a huge day at the plate for Alex Lodise, who seems to be coming around for Augusta following a two home run performance for them. With that effort Lodise tied for the team lead in home runs, and the top three in the lineup sit 1-2-3 on the team in home runs. Elsewhere […]
In light of the numerous injuries, the Atlanta Braves have continued the roster shuffle; this time, catcher Maverick Handley was claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, righty Hurston Waldrep was transferred to the 60-day injured list. 28-year-old Handley made his […]
Another game, another offensive outburst, another series win. The Braves continued to bounce back and then some from their 12-0 drubbing in the series opener, riding a trio of homers, including two by Michael Harris II, to yet another easy win over the Marlins in Miami. The Braves wasted no time in opening the scoring […]
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña, Jr. was replaced in the bottom of the sixth inning of tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins by Eli White after dealing with an apparent thumb issue one inning prior. When getting ready to take the field in the bottom of the fifth, Acuña, Jr. lingered near the dugout while […]
Braves go for another series win. Worst they can do is a split in this four-game set.
After a couple of feel-good wins in Miami, the Braves can take the four-game set with another victory on Thursday night. Ha-Seong Kim returns to the lineup, and Chadwick Tromp will make his first start of the year as the Braves take aim at Sandy Alcantara. For the Marlins, it’s mostly a familiar set of […]
Let’s be so honest – would you even believe the Atlanta Braves had the best record in baseball if you’d been told that both Sean Murphy and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin were on the IL at the same time? For eight glorious days we had our elite catching tandem, arguably the […]
