Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
The Atlanta Falcons have talked about building the trenches and did quite a bit of that work in free agency, but their first draft picks did not address those needs. Instead, they went for players who could be viewed as the best players available at a pair of needs further away from the line of […]
The Atlanta Braves began the homestand on a high note and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3. For the first time in 19 years, the Braves have now won four straight over the Phillies to open a season. It was a solid night from both the lineup and the bullpen, but once again, Michael Harris II […]
Zachariah Branch can haul ass. His 40 time tells the tale, but I’m more interested in what he did in terms of yards after the catch. At Georgia, he was a screen pass monster who routinely turned modest targets into big gains. Forget the size for a moment and focus on what you can do […]
It was a second straight heartbreaker as the Philadelphia Phillies (8-18) blew two leads en route to their 10th straight loss and fourth within that span to come at the hands of the rival Atlanta Braves (19-8) by a score of 5-3 on Friday Night Baseball. Andrew Painter made his fifth career start, his second […]
What a way to start a homestand. For those of us not in the sellout crowd on Star Wars Night, the crisp Apple TV cameras captured the first win of the season in the red uniforms. Atlanta remains a perfect 3-0 in Friday home games. Grant Holmes threw 89 pitches to go six and earn […]
By selecting Avieon Terrell, the Atlanta Falcons declared that their cornerback corps needed an upgrade despite their stated intent to build the trenches. In hindsight, the fact that the Falcons made no real attempt to add to a cornerback corps that had some concerns even as they plunged resources into the trenches and the offensive […]
It’s a big night for the Braves partnerships team tonight… Apple TV has the broadcast, and Star Wars Night at the ballpark. I wish I could muster even a little bit of a reference for you, dear readers of Battery Power, but this is one of my cultural blind spots. And at this point, I’m […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Braves: Let’s talk about it.
So, we ended up getting some interesting nuggets of news from the pregame press conference that Walt Weiss has before every home game. There’s one bit of concerning news, one bit of hopeful news and then something that seems obvious but it’s good to hear confirmed. Let’s start with the concerning news, shall we: Michael […]
After yesterday’s injury scare and early exit, all looked well and truly precautionary for Michael Harris II. He was slated to bat fifth and play center in the lineup released by the Braves earlier this afternoon. Unfortunately, Grant McAuley has reported that Michael Harris II has been scratched and is day-to-day with that left quad […]
Braves and Phillies again. Grant Holmes vs. Andrew Painter again. Not on BravesVision again. So here I am, reheating my own nachos. In the time we’ve been apart, the Braves took three out of four against the very pesky Nats to conclude a 6-1 road trip. The boys will return home to Cobb County with […]
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft was an eventful one, particularly for trades. There was a run of trade-ups near the end of the night, which begged the question for those teams without a first-round pick: would it be wise to consider a trade-up? It was a question I asked Falcons fans after […]
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]
The situation for the Phillies has gotten beyond the level of ugliness. It’s so dire that I was actually encouraged by them getting to extra innings before losing on Thursday. On the other hand, the Phillies’ opponents this weekend have had just about everything go right this season. Is it possible that the Braves somehow […]
The second day of the 2026 NFL Draft is here! Join Kevin Knight and a series of guests as they break down the picks through the second and third rounds, including player and team fit analysis, how the draft is progressing relative to expectations, and the implications for the Atlanta Falcons. We’ll be live starting […]
The Atlanta Braves minor league system has been dominated by the performances of the Rome Emperors lineup, who have that talented group of hitters that has made waves this week in Greensboro. Although they weren’t able to drag Rome to a win this time around Isaiah Drake, John Gil, and Eric Hartman all looked good […]
The Hawks pulled off a thrilling 109-108 victory to climb to a 2-1 record in this series against the New York Knicks. After going up by as much as 18 points, the Hawks let their orange and blue rivals chip away slowly until they took a 3-point lead late. Frankly, the Hawks largely defended well […]
One week ago, I opened up the links by noting that the results of the Braves series would have a major impact on the mood of the fanbase. The same can be said today. Let us hope that this series will turn out better than the last. Onto the links. Phillies news Taijuan Walker’s time […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II exited Thursday’s game in the seventh inning after experiencing left quad tightness. Fortunately, the move was only precautionary and Harris is expected to be on the lineup card tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies. Harris had a huge series against the Washington Nationals, where he logged six hits, two of […]
The first round is over, and predictably, the Falcons did not try to jump up and make any picks. They’ll be on the clock tomorrow night, though, which we’re very much looking forward to. Here are a few impressions and takeaways from the first night’s festivities. The NFC South got better, regrettably There are question […]
Maybe the Knicks (1-2) had no business winning this game against the Hawks (2-1). After sleepwalking through a miserable first quarter and falling behind by 18 in the second, they entered halftime down by eight, matched Atlanta’s thirty points in the third quarter, and finally seemed interested in victory late in the fourth quarter. Too […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Thursday evening for Game 3 against the New York Knicks. After a comeback win in Game 2, the series was tied at 1-1, coming back to Atlanta. There are some things that the Hawks were able to expose in the last game, and the hope was that they […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs schedule for April 23rd features a trio of interesting matchups. Three games are on tap, as follows: 4:00 PM— New York Knicks at Atlanta Hawks (series tied 1-1) 5:00 PM—Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors (Cleveland leads 2-0) 6:30 PM—Denver Nuggets at Minnesota Timberwolves (series tied 1-1) All times are Pacific. All […]
The Knicks head to Atlanta for Game Three with their First Round series knotted at one, still stinging from a Game Two fourth-quarter collapse. Although they led through most of the first two games, concerning (effort, mental) lapses and disconnect on offense have the alarm bells clanging. New York is still in command of the […]
