A stat that proves Martin Perez should start for the Braves in the playoffs
The Braves’ potential starting rotation for the playoffs remains up in the air, but it’s not for the reasons many might have thought of following what was perceived to be an underwhelming trade deadline. Atlanta actually has a surplus of starting pitchers performing at a high level right now, at least in terms of a […]
Report: Tua Tagovailoa may have suffered injury during Thursday’s practice
According to a slew of reports, Falcons QB1 Tua Tagovailoa may have suffered an injury during Thursday’s practice. He briefly went to the ground and was not seen throwing again during the media portion of the practice. Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa appeared to suffer discomfort during individual throwing drills Thursday and briefly went to the […]
Mike Tomlin takes shot at Tua Tagovailoa ahead of Falcons/Steelers
There might not be a single believer in Tua Tagovailoa heading into the Falcons’ Week 1 matchup with the Steelers, and you can add former Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin to the long list of doubters. “It’s less about Aaron (Rodgers) for me, and it’s more about the quarterback on the other side (Tua Tagovailoa),” […]
Mike Florio: Tua Tagovailoa likely to be cut if he’s benched
The Falcons named Tua Tagovailoa the starting quarterback for their Week 1 matchup against the Steelers, but nobody in the national media is reporting that the decision was a vote of confidence in the veteran. Tagovailoa essentially won the job without any legitimate competition. Michael Penix Jr. was not cleared for 11-on-11 work until a […]
Lane Thomas scratched from Braves lineup with injury
The Braves are underway with some afternoon baseball as they attempt to avoid a sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays. But right before the game started, they made a change to their lineup. Lane Thomas was removed and replaced with Dominic Smith. Braves beat reporter Mark Bowman later revealed it was due to left-side tightness. […]
Spencer Strider makes MLB’s list of top offseason trade candidates
The Braves aren’t playing their best baseball as October inches closer, and in truth, it’s been months since we’ve seen the best version of this team. That creates some uneasiness when thinking about what might happen in the playoffs. This is a team that — despite its long history of success — has never been […]
Falcons create cap space by restructuring contract of Chris Lindstrom
According to Spotrac, the Falcons have converted $14.7 million of Chris Lindstrom’s salary into a signing bonus. They’ve also added one void year, which creates an extra $11.76 million of 2026 cap space. Lindstrom remains under contract through the 2028 season. The #Falcons converted $14.7M of G Chris Lindstrom's salary into signing bonus, adding 1 […]
Way-too-early mock draft has Falcons landing next franchise QB
The season has not yet started, but there’s no denying the Falcons have a great chance of being in the market for a quarterback when the draft rolls around next season. Tua Tagovailoa does not look like the answer, and Michael Penix Jr.’s injury history is beyond worrisome. Given this new regime had nothing to […]
Predicting the Atlanta Braves playoff roster (1.0)
We know the Braves are going to be a part of this year’s playoff mix. The question remains where they’ll be seeded. If Atlanta can take care of business inside their own division, the lowest they can be seeded is third. There’s still an outside chance of them sneaking into the top two spots in […]
Braves make a couple of roster moves amid series with Rays
Amid their series with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Braves made a couple of roster moves. Bailey Falter has been selected to the major-league roster. In a corresponding move, Elieser Hernandez has been designated for assignment. Additionally, Reynaldo Lopez returns from his rehabilitation assignment. He will start tonight, and Bryce Elder has been placed on […]
The Braves playoff rotation has become very clear
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve updated my starting pitching power rankings for the Braves — which focuses solely on who will start behind Chris Sale when October arrives. In that time, there have been several significant developments that have really cleared things up with just three weeks remaining until the postseason. Removed […]
Positive aspects of the Falcons to look forward to in Week 1
The outlook of the Falcons heading into Week 1 — particularly from the national media — has been profoundly negative. They don’t have a quarterback, the one that’s starting sucks, Kevin Stefanski is in the same situation he was with the Browns, and the one good aspect of the team from a year ago — […]
Braves: Robert Suarez approaching final step before returning
The Braves’ pitching has not been the problem since the trade deadline, but every club could use another All-Star reliever in the building, and Atlanta’s hoping one will return before the end of the season. Robert Suarez began his throwing program over a month ago. The Braves have taken things very cautiously with him, but […]
Has the AJ Smith-Shawver experiment run its course for the Braves?
After a grinder of a series in Philadelphia, the schedule for the Braves unfortunately does not lighten up with the Rays coming to Truist Park, and Tampa Bay would draw first blood in Game 1 on Tuesday night. The offense — as has been the case more often than not for a long time — […]
Braves: Bryce Elder undergoes surgery on his knee
According to Braves beat reporter Grant McAuley, Bryce Elder had his knee checked and a minor surgery was performed. He’s expected to miss 3-4 weeks and hopes to return to pitch in the postseason. #Braves Bryce Elder saw a doctor and had his knee checked yesterday. He had surgery today to repair it – scope […]
Falcons release depth chart for Week 1 matchup with Steelers
After naming Tua Tagovailoa the starting quarterback for their Week 1 matchup with the Steelers, the Falcons have just dropped the entire depth chart. Falcons Week 1 Depth Chart Quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa — QB1 Cooper Rush — QB2 Jack Strand — QB3 Michael Penix Jr. — QB4 (Will Be Inactive) Running Backs Bijan Robinson — […]
Jeff Francoeur on the two Braves that could decide the team’s fate
Over the last couple of weeks, the Braves have gotten a tantalizing glimpse of what October baseball will be like. Atlanta lined up with the Dodgers for three games at Truist Park with the two clubs battling for seeding in the National League, and they walked away with a sweep in a series where every […]
Ken Rosenthal on a Braves potential contract extension with Ronald Acuña Jr.
After another injury-riddled campaign, Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is playing a lot more like the 2023 NL MVP version of himself. He had seven hits over the weekend against the Phillies, including two home runs, and is now hitting .459 over his last ten games with an OPS north of 1.200. The fastball, […]
Falcons name the starting quarterback, but the situation remains as cloudy as ever
The Falcons became the last team to name their starting quarterback for Week 1 on Monday, handing the job to Tua Tagovailoa over Michael Penix Jr. Tua Tagovailoa has been named starting quarterback for Week 1https://t.co/67barjCycW pic.twitter.com/l9QwpkUZOA — Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) September 7, 2026 Over a month ago, this looked like the only feasible scenario […]
3 Takeaways from the Braves biggest series of the season against Phillies
The Braves wrapped up by far their most pivotal series of the season on Monday afternoon with a disappointing 1-0 loss that was perfectly pitched by both sides and ultimately decided by one swing of the bat late in the game. Braves Hold Serve That was basically the story of the entire series. It was […]
Braves shuffle up rotation ahead of series with Phillies
The Braves begin a four-game set with the Phillies on Friday, and originally these were the starting pitching matchups. Braves-Phillies Probables Friday: Chris Sale vs. Cristopher Sanchez Saturday: Martin Perez vs. Zack Wheeler Sunday: Tyler Mahle vs. Aaron Nola Monday: Bryce Elder vs. Jesus Luzardo — However, it has since been announced that Grant Holmes […]
Falcons welcome pivotal defensive player back to practice
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Falcons’ initial 53-man roster was the inclusion of Billy Bowman Jr. The second-year cornerback suffered a torn Achilles during his promising rookie campaign, and it seemed likely that he would begin this season on the IR. That doesn’t appear to be the case based on the Falcons’ […]
ESPN and MLB.com praise Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos for trade deadline
Earlier in the week, The Athletic went back and re-graded every team’s trade deadline moves, with the Braves getting an A grade for their work. “Under president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos, the Braves eschewed the all-in move, instead upgrading around the margins by adding Tyler Mahle, Lane Thomas and Brent Suter,” Johnny Flores Jr. […]
Predicting ETAs for each of the Braves top 10 prospects
The Braves have produced more young talent over the last decade than any other organization. Keeping it all healthy has been a bit of a different story, but when it comes to getting young guys ready for the majors, few clubs can even compare. That’s something that should make the next few years incredibly exhilarating. […]
ESPN’s bold prediction for the Falcons is not very bold
Dan Graziano of ESPN just typed up 32 bold predictions — one for each team. But to call his prediction for the Falcons bold is insulting to the word bold. In it, he says we shouldn’t be surprised if Atlanta is back in the market for a quarterback this offseason. “There’s still time for Michael […]
