The Falcons managed to turn five picks into six and select players with excellent value on Day 2, but how will those players impact the team? Kevin Knight is joined by Aaron Freeman to give an early grade to Atlanta’s 2026 NFL Draft class, along with thoughts on the fit and value of each selection. […]
Congratulations are apparently in order for Dylan Lee and his family, as he’s been reinstated from the paternity list after missing Tuesday’s Braves win over the Tigers. Of course, there’s got to be a corresponding move and as it turns out, Didier Fuentes isn’t going straight down. Instead, Carlos Carrasco’s time with the Braves big […]
If you wanted a clue as to which front office the Falcons intended to emulate, you’ve gotten a bundle of clues instead. The Falcons hired former Eagle and Bear executive Ian Cunningham as their general manager, Eagles vice president of football operations Jeff Scott as their assistant general manager, and now former Eagles Senior Vice […]
While us Knicks fans rejoiced during a Tuesday night beatdown of the Hawks that gave our ‘Bockers a 3-2 series lead, it was a pretty horrific day for the sport as a whole. Around the same time on Tuesday afternoon, the NCAA revealed its plans to expand the NCAA Tournament to 76 teams (yuck), and […]
The Atlanta Hawks dropped a pivotal Game 5 as they fell to a convincing 126-97 defeat to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Jalen Johnson led the Hawks in scoring with 18 points, while Dyson Daniels added 17 points. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson scored 39 points with OG Anunoby […]
Alex Lodise was off to an underwhelming start in Augusta with high strikeouts and not nearly as much power production as we had hoped, but the first game of the week was a chance for him to break out as he went deep twice as part of Augusta’s 12-run, five home run performance. Luis Guanipa […]
The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game weekday series against the Atlanta Braves after a disappointing 5-2 loss at Truist Park on Tuesday night. Adding insult to… um, injury, was losing Casey Mize to right groin tightness and Javier Báez to a bum right ankle. Both will undergo MRIs prior to Wednesday night’s game to […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that right-hander Didier Fuentes has been recalled to Atlanta as a result of moving lefty Dylan Lee to the paternity list. The move continues the rollercoaster of options for Fuentes, who was recalled last week before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett again. In three appearances so far this season, Fuentes […]
Game Five is in the books, and in it New York (3-2) picked up where they left off in the previous contest, slapping down the Atlanta Hawks with another (essentially) wire-to-wire win. Steadily piling on the points quarter after quarter until their lead reached 32 in the fourth, the Knicks rode a 39-point, eight-assist performance […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Detroit Tigers in a clash of first place teams, both with some of the best rotation outputs in MLB. The Braves are red hot having won twenty games before May for the first time in franchise history, and going 20-9 for only the ninth time in franchise history. This […]
The Knicks (2-2) host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series. A win puts either team one victory away from advancing to the second round. Tip-off is 8:00 pm EST on NBC and Peacock. This is your game thread. This is Peachtree Hoops. Please don’t […]

The Atlanta Braves look to continue as the only team in MLB to not lose a series after going 10-3 after thirteen straight games in their own division. The Tigers have been good in their own right being in first place in their division while sporting one of the best top three rotation arms in […]
Hoo boy, we got an absolute litany of updates from Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss during his usual pre-game press conference. It was as if the skipper just decided to take this opportunity to clear the air about the handful of Braves players who are in various stages of working their way back onto the […]
The Atlanta Braves and their league leading offense are facing the Detroit Tigers having just won twenty games before the month of May for the first time in franchise history. The Braves lead MLB with 5.72 runs scored per game. To put that in perspective, if they continue to score this many runs per game […]
The Falcons made six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz are here to bring you their thoughts on each of them. How do players like Avieon Terrell and Zachariah Branch fit in Atlanta, and how did Ian Cunningham and the new brain trust fare in their first NFL Draft? […]
As good a team as the Atlanta Hawks already are, there's a real chance they are about to get even better in the offseason.
Did we want Didier Fuentes back in Atlanta? I wanted him back and taking a rotation spot. Of course, the whole “must stay down after being optioned unless recalled due to injury” rule put a minor spanner in that particular set of works… until the Braves apparently found a way around it through the miracle […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend behind us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. A big one was the trade last month that sent defensive back […]
The New York Knicks host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game Five of their first-round playoff series, tied 2–2. The winner takes command, while the loser will return to Atlanta pondering an elimination game. Need it be said? The Knicks are the better team. They have led for 92% of the […]
The Tigers are somewhat intimidating, I’ll admit. They come into this series sixth in wRC+, but second (above the Braves) in xwOBA. Their rotation is fourth in fWAR, and the Braves will not see their one starter that’s been bad so far (Jack Flaherty). Those two things suggest something considerably weighty for the Braves to […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is officially closed, and the Atlanta Falcons clearly had one concept in mind in Ian Cunningham’s first draft as general manager: Take as many bets on high-end traits as possible. With Zachariah Branch, the bet is on his speed and return ability to hold him up as he continues to develop […]
Monday was likely a welcome off-day for the Atlanta Braves, a rare off day in the middle of a home stand for the team to catch its breath and reset. Fortunately, a resetting is not due to a lack of quality play as the Braves have the best record in baseball. However, the quality of […]
The Detroit Tigers wrap up their nine-game interleague schedule this week by heading south to face the Atlanta Braves starting on Tuesday night. After taking two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers at home before dropping two of three at the Cincinnati Reds, the Motor City Kitties move on to face the top team […]
