The Atlanta Braves began the day with a roster move that recalled southpaw Hayden Harris to Atlanta and simultaneously optioned right-hander Rolddy Muñoz to Triple-A Gwinnett. The move is a classic bullpen shuffle, and an underwhelming one at that. Muñoz made his first appearance of the season on Monday night, and in two innings, he […]
The Atlanta Braves’ series win-streak isn’t over yet. Applying offensive production was the key to this matchup, and that’s exactly what the team was able to pull off in a clutch performance to win the game 6-5 against the Miami Marlins. The Marlins capitalized in the beginning, starting off the bat (no pun intended) after […]
After allowing a season-high 10 runs in yesterday’s matchup against the Miami Marlins, the Atlanta Braves are looking to approach tonight with a redemption and a momentum boost to push them into the finale tomorrow. Both pitchers are making their first start; a few of the Braves are familiar with Marlins’ Max Meyer’s game, but […]
As it turns out, Thursday night will be a very good day for local fans in Rome to show up to the ballpark and for Braves fans in general to keep an eye on the Rome Emperors. Walt Weiss spoke with the media before Tuesday’s night middle game between the Braves and the Marlins and […]
A brand new day for another game of baseball. This time, the Atlanta Braves are looking to bounce back from an embarrassing low-run loss in yesterday’s matchup. The rosters have been released. No changes to today’s lineup, as it’s an exact reflection of yesterday. You know what this could tell us? The same roster is […]
We’re a little over a week away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and the Atlanta Falcons just received some major news with Kaleb McGary’s surprise retirement. While the team immediately signed Jawaan Taylor to take over the starting job, that’s nothing more than a one-year stopgap move. Suddenly, the team’s long-term tackle need became much […]
Well, here we are. After a long, 82-game season full of twists and turns, we’ve arrived at the start of a playoff journey. Conventional wisdom said that the Toronto Raptors would be the first-round opponent entering Sunday, but the Orlando Magic somehow lost to the Celtics’ C-team, so here we are. Whatever way you feel […]
The Atlanta Braves are officially doing the bullpen shuffle. It’s not nearly as glamorous as the Super Bowl Shuffle (kids, YouTube is free) but it’s the type of thing that has to happen in order to keep a season going sometimes. This time, the focus is on two pitchers: Rolddy Muñoz is going down and […]
Last night was blah. We haven’t seen a “total failure of run prevention” from this team yet, but that’s what it was nearly was last night: two homers, some poor defensive positioning that helped lead to a .452 Marlins BABIP, counterbalanced “only” by a 9/3 K/BB ratio where the strikeouts were mostly accrued when the […]
A busy day in the world of the Atlanta Braves culminated with the team getting rocked on the field Monday night by the Miami Marlins. Despite the Marlins having scored three runs total across the entire three-game series in Detroit, they eclipsed that mark in just five innings in Atlanta. The offense did show signs […]
The Hawks faced a crisis just five games into the season. The star point guard — one of the highest usage players in the league — went down with a knee injury that eventually saw him miss the better part of two months of action. How would they find enough offense to compete down such […]
If you go looking through the Knicks’ biggest playoff rivals, the Hawks aren’t the first matchup that comes to mind. They’re not Miami, they’re not Indiana, and they haven’t been a consistent playoff opponent at all. In fact, it’s a pretty rare matchup. But when these two teams do meet in the postseason, it usually […]
The Atlanta Braves and their scorching hot offense are taking on the surprisingly good Miami Marlins tonight as they look to extend their division lead. The Braves are scoring runs at a pace that only three teams in MLB are doing at a higher rate, and only the Dodgers have hit more HRs. No Braves […]
It was a win-win for Michael Harris as he was on paternity leave to be with his family, and the Atlanta Braves were able to score a large number of runs while he was out. The Braves’ offense now averages 5.62 runs per game behind only three other teams after the massive 13-1 blowout yesterday. […]
After missing the last two games of the series against Cleveland, Michael Harris II will return to the Braves a presumably proud papa. We’ll hope that in addition to getting enough sleep, something about the addition to the Braves family changes Harris’ luck. Harris is rocking a yummy-yum-yum .401 xwOBA, but a very sad .287 […]
In case you may have enjoyed seeing the Atlanta Braves take a sojourn into the American League by taking on four AL opponents across their first 16 games, I regret to inform you that the interleague tour is coming to an end. As a matter of fact, the next 13 games will not only be […]
The Atlanta Braves debuted their updated City Connect uniforms over the weekend, showcasing a familiar style that combines several classic design elements from the franchise’s rich history. Inspired largely by the 1980s era of Braves baseball, during which time the team’s games were beamed across the country via the wonders of owner Ted Turner’s […]
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
The group over at Overslot Baseball has come out with an interesting and fun new tool ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft, giving us a mock draft simulator to play with, just like there is for the NFL and NBA drafts. I would recommend giving it a try for yourself if you have a few […]
(6-8) Nashville Sounds 1, (10-5) Gwinnett Stripers 5 Box Score This game will forever go down as the Jim Jarvis takeover game as the shortstop had quite the impact on the game. In his first at bat of the game he took a 93 MPH four-seam fastball and hit it 395’ at 107 MPH. He’s […]
This season couldn’t have started much better for the Braves, at least to date. They are the only team that hasn’t yet lost a series (they did split one, though), they have baseball’s second-best record (behind the Dodgers, tied with the Padres), they’re top ten in both position player and pitching fWAR, and they’re top […]
Well here we are, folks — our Atlanta Braves are 16 games deep into this season and they are in a pretty solid groove. They’ve dropped at least one game to every team that they’ve played this season but they’ve also taken two games off of every team that they’ve played so far. That was […]
The Hawks completed their most successful regular season since 2020-21, entering the playoff bracket directly without going through the Play-In Tournament. As a results of their loss to the Miami Heat, the Toronto Raptors win, and the Orlando Magic loss all today, the Hawks finished sixth in the Eastern Conference by virtue of losing the […]
The reports of the Braves’ offensive demise were greatly exaggerated. A night after the lineup was blanked for the first time since last July, the Braves awakened with a vengeance, running away with a 13-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians to win their third rubber match of the season. With the victory, Atlanta is the […]
The Miami Heat concluded a turbulent regular season with a dominant 143-117 win over the shorthanded Atlanta Hawks Sunday inside Kaseya Center. Despite a mini third-quarter Hawks run, Miami, with a full cast of characters minus Pelle Larsson, was in cruise control the whole way. Among those missing for the Hawks included Jalen Johnson, Nickeil […]
