One game won’t exorcise all the demons of yesteryear, but the Atlanta Braves made a huge first step in turning things around on Opening Day, dominating the Kansas City Royals to the tune of a 6-0, wire-to-wire victory. Chris Sale was uncharacteristically shaky in the early going, but the bats (three dingers!) and gloves (lots […]
All games can be listened to on the radio on 680 The Fan/93.7 FM or in the 680 The Fan App.
It has been one of, if not the most asked question of the off-season: “How can I watch the Atlanta Braves this year?” If you are rising from a Winter hibernation, ready to join the land-of-the-baseball-living just in time for Opening Day, here’s the executive summary of what has happened with Braves’ broadcasts since that […]
Somehow, I’m not only doing the game coverage for Opening Day, but also for the second game of this series. There was a time where I used to be in game threads a lot. Those times are over, for many reasons. I’ll pop in here and there. But, just a reminder that problems (and you […]
Hello and welcome to the Atlanta Braves Lineup, Opening Day (Night) 2026 Edition. For your perusal this fine March evening, we have entrees such as “Jonah Heim is on this team?” and “Eli White hitting sixth.” To be fair, the Braves are making the best of their situation, but both Heim and White will likely […]
Hours before Opening Day 2026, the Atlanta Braves announced a multi-year agreement with DIRECTV to carry their new network, BravesVision, making Atlanta Braves games available through the satellite provider within the Braves’ home markets. That region includes Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and western North Carolina. BravesVision can be found on channel 645 and […]
Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves is finally here and they will actually be playing a home game. The last time they had a home game to open the season was back in 2022 against the Cincinnati Reds where Max Fried gave up five earned runs, resulting in a loss. Today they will be taking […]
There’s another television vendor that will be carrying BravesVision. An actual cable-like streamer, FuboTV, is part of the BravesVision family. FuboTV and Braves has agreed a multiyear partnership to carry BravesVision, the Braves’ owned and operated network. BravesVision will be available for the customers in Atlanta’s television footprint, which contains Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, […]
The Gwinnett Stripers have released their initial roster for the 2026 season today, ahead of today’s first game of the season. The roster below is mostly as expected, though there is one big, surprising omission in Jhancarlos Lara not being part of it after spending a good chunk of time in Gwinnett last season. Starters […]
Opening Day is often thought of as a beginning for, well, obvious reasons. But, sometimes, I guess it’s an ending as well. Jason Heyward has announced his retirement after a 16-season MLB career: For many of us, Heyward’s career was a big part of Braves fandom. His hype, amazing first MLB game, and overall awesome […]
Here are the 26 players who will be on the field, in the dugout and in the bullpen once the regular season gets underway here in Atlanta. As is tradition around here, we’re taking a deeper look at each and every player on the Opening Day roster. This includes how they got here, their basic […]
Provided you had a ritual in the first place, I guess. My ritual was taking the day off work and watching a lot of baseball. With the Braves playing a night game and a weird split Opening Day where only some teams started their season yesterday, I am just not bothering. It’ll be a normal […]
Happy Opening Day, Braves Country! During Thursday’s presser, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss informed the media that Drake Baldwin would be in the Opening Day lineup, but not behind the dish. Instead, Baldwin will be in the DH role while Jonah Heim is behind the plate. It’s a pretty interesting way to roll things out. […]
Earlier today, we discussed the big news of the day from Walt Weiss’s press conference where he stated that Drake Baldwin would be the starting DH for Friday’s Opening Day game for the Atlanta Braves. I also mentioned that that wasn’t all he talked about, as he spoke at length about his thoughts on the […]
It appears that the cable pieces of the Braves television distribution are starting to fall into place. The News always comes down in a navy blue image with white text on it, so this is definitely a big deal. The Atlanta Braves and Xfinity aka Comcast have reached a deal to carry BravesVision, the Braves’ […]
Earlier today, new manager Walt Weiss spoke with the media ahead of his debut as manager of the Atlanta Braves. We’ll have more to talk about later as far as quotes from him (and Chris Sale and Matt Olson as well) but for now, the biggest news of that presser is that we got a […]
Folks, it’s Opening Day — for 26 other ballclubs, at least. The Atlanta Braves still have to wait their turn until Friday, which is when they’ll hopefully be able to open up the season by doing some damage against the Kansas City Royals. Ronald Acuña Jr. is going to be starting in right field for […]
I’ll save the big kahuna question for the Braves’ Opening Day, which is tomorrow. Today is Opening Day for most other teams, so we’ll go with this no-stakes variant. Normally, I’m pretty excited for Opening Day. Baseball season has a great rhythm, and I look forward to transitioning into it every year. That said, I […]
Well we now have a waiting game for the Braves’ regular season to start. We did get to see Max Fried have a good start in the first game of the regular season (which was on Netflix and was weird). The Braves’ roster is really rough compared to what we thought it would look like […]
This is a weird post. I’ll just go ahead and get that out of the way. And then I’m going to head into a brief-ish aside. I used to generate a lot more content. On the rare occasion I interrogate this fact, the subsequent thoughts fall into a few camps. One is that, well, I’m […]
Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves may be a couple of days away but since it’s technically the first day of the regular season for baseball as a whole, now is apparently the perfect time to reveal the official 26-man roster for Opening Day. A lot of the drama surrounding the Opening Day roster went […]
Well folks, today is Opening Day. Now granted, it’s only for two teams, it’s a night game and it’s on Netflix of all platforms, so it’s basically like Week 0 in college football. Sure, tonight’s game between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants counts and everything but it’s not the same as […]
With the season looming and the parade of bad news from Spring Training (despite the Braves being 2026 Spring Training champions, heh), I wanted to throw this out there as a question that you, ultimately, will be scored and evaluated on. Chances are, you have strong opinions on this topic; here’s your chance to get […]
The Atlanta Braves reunited with right-hander Osvaldo Bido after claiming him off waivers from the New York Yankees. Though he has yet to formally suit up for Atlanta, 30-year-old Bido was previously claimed by the club in December and designated for assignment 10 days later. This spring, he’s appeared in seven games, recorded one win, […]
The Atlanta Braves will inducted former manager Brian Snitker to the organization’s Hall of Fame on April 25, 2026. The third winningest manager in franchise history with 811 regular season victories, Snitker also led the team to the 2021 World Series championship – the organization’s first since 1995. Snitker, who joined the organization as a […]
