Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Good evening, folks! There’s no game tonight as the Braves are getting a rare off day in the middle of a homestand. There’s still some stuff to talk about and this is your chance to chat about anything you want (that makes sense for a baseball blog site, haha). What I’m watching tonight Game of […]
Philadelphia Eagles senior vice president/tertiary football executive Bryce Johnston is leaving Philly to join the Atlanta Falcons as their new senior vice president of football administration/senior personnel executive, according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo. In Atlanta, Johnston is reunited with former Eagles executive and new Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham. The two […]
One of the first hires for Terry Fontenot’s regime when he arrived in Atlanta was Chris Olsen, brought on to serve in a director of football administration role after a long stint as a Houston Texans cap guru. It appeared he would survive the wholesale changeover to Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham in the front […]
How Close is Rams QB Matthew Stafford to Retirement? The Los Angeles Rams drafted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Pittsburgh, and then made something clear: Matthew Stafford is not done. Head coach Sean McVay said it plainly after the pick was made. [...]
Only one more sleep. Fewer than 34 hours. Hawks at Knicks, Game 5 at MSG. Let’s beat ‘em birds. Mike Brown On Josh Hart’s defense in Game 4: “Josh was really good on the ball. Josh is a guy with quick feet, he’s strong and when he gets locked in, he’s locked in. His defensive […]
Baseball life is good for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. They’ve already put a gap between them and the rest of the division and the gap keeps growing between them and the Phillies and the Mets as well. The vibes are very positive and the week ahead for the Braves could be a promising […]
For the past couple of weeks, both Sean Murphy and Spencer Strider have been busy on the farm getting in work via rehab assignments. While Strider may be closer to returning than Murphy is, one thing we know now is that they’ll be joined by a third Braves big leaguer who is working his way […]
(13-14) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 10, (17-10) Gwinnett Stripers 5 Box Score Spencer Strider made his second rehab start with the Stripers and continued to look like the Spencer of 2023. Strider allowed two earned runs over five innings of work with seven strikeouts. While the velocity dropped a bit towards the end of his outing, […]
The NFL Draft is over, and there’s a lot of roster building to talk about now. Before we dive into the undrafted free agent class, how good this roster can actually be, and what remains to be done, let’s take a moment to consider likely starting lineups for 2026. The usual caveats apply: We only […]
The Braves once again took care of business on Sunday, beating the Phillies and winning yet another series as their great start to the season rolls along. The amount of positive data points from the past few weeks is highly encouraging to see, including the Braves going 10-3 against NL East opponents over the past […]
The Hawks (2-2) had a listless Game 4 loss on Saturday meaning they’ve now squandered the home court advantage they picked up with their clutch win in Game 2. Certainly, there have been some disappointing performances from an individual player perspective. But let’s zoom out a tad and focus on a trio of tactics the […]
A couple of weeks ago, the Atlanta Braves embarked on a 13-game run of games that were solely in the NL East. Initially, it seemed like a tough task considering that they’d be seeing the Philadelphia Phillies twice during that run. At the same time, the Braves had gotten off to an encouraging start to […]
Several TCU Horned Frogs signed undrafted free-agent contracts after the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday afternoon. DJ Rogers (Cowboys), Devean Deal (Seahawks), Chase Curtis (Jets), Channing Canada (Patriots), Joseph Manjack IV (Broncos), Kevorian Barnes (Giants), Trent Battle (Falcons) will all compete for roster spots. TCU had three players (Bud Clark, Kaleb Elarms-Orr […]
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced after today’s 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies that rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie will get his second major league start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Weiss also confirm that former right-handed starter Reynaldo López is heading to the bullpen to work out some mechanical issues that are […]
The Phillies snapped their ten-game losing streak on Saturday night by actually getting some late, clutch hits and prevailing in extra innings. The Braves: “I took that personally” On Sunday, the Braves reverted to their winning ways, while the Phillies were back on their B.S. Aaron Nola was rocked, the hitters looked feeble against Chris […]

As long as the right buttons are pushed, we won’t complain about no starting lineup changes, Mikey. The Knicks cooked Hawks wings in Atlanta, took a flight back home to New York, and will host a party inside the Garden on Tuesday. Here’s the latest following a promising outing from your Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On […]
Ninety seconds into the second half of last night’s 112-98 Knick win in Atlanta, cosplay analyst Reggie Miller declared the Hawks “on a heater.” In that minute and a half, they’d scored five points, cutting a 14-point deficit to nine. Reggie Miller is full of shit. Was as a player, is as an announcer. He […]
Last week was a sweep for the Braves, today could lead to another series win… if the Phillies don’t carry over from yesterday and find a way to break their streak. The Braves will have to get runs on the board as early as possible, while the Phillies will have to endure in the latter […]
After actually winning a game on Saturday night, the Phillies will try to repeat the feat on Sunday afternoon in the finale of their series against the Braves. Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season. He’ll be opposed by Braves ace Chris Sale, […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their successful series record, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, after last week’s embarrassing sweep against them on their home turf, they’re looking to repay the favor and snap that extension. Let’s look at these rosters. The lineup for the Braves looks pretty identical to yesterday’s with a familiar […]
Saturday’s biggest story in the Atlanta Braves farm system had to be the weather. Not only were half of the games rained out, but the best performance of the day was cut short by a rain delay. Brett Sears got pulled a bit early because of that rain delay, but he was pitching a one-hit […]
At times during the most chaotic years under Thomas Dimitroff and Terry Fontenot, you could be forgiven for thinking the front office was throwing darts. There were plenty of talented players selected, of course, and in years like 2016 and 2022 you could see players being acquired specifically for coaching staffs excited to utilize them. […]
The rain ahead of Saturday’s contest between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies may have forced Brian Snitker’s Braves Hall of Fame induction ceremony indoors but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of anybody who was in the house for Snit’s big day. That included Braves Hall-of-Famers Tim Hudson and Terry Pendleton, who were […]
