Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
The 13-game NL East gauntlet continues on for the Atlanta Braves and so far, they’ve passed their first divisional test with flying colors. They’re 5-1 through the first six games and they’re two wins away from making this a successful divisional swing. They’re also just one win away from confirming a successful road trip on […]
New York will see the Knicks play basketball against the Hawks inside the Garden one final time this season. Next time the homies get back home, that’d be for Game 3 of the second-round series. Here’s what has been said heading into G2 later today. Mike Brown On CJ McCollum’s Brodway comments:“I didn’t see it. […]
The Atlanta Braves are now just about halfway through a 13-game stretch of facing nothing but NL East opponents — including this Philadelphia Phillies team twice. Naturally, this seemed like the trickier proposition for the Braves to deal with since this was taking place in Philadelphia and they were dealing with a Phillies club that […]
After a feel-good Game One victory on Saturday, the Knicks are set to host the Hawks again at MSG tonight in Game Two of their Eastern Conference first-round series. A second victory would give New York extra breathing room before the series relocates to Georgia, and would further deflate the momentum of an Atlanta team […]
(13-8) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (14-7) Memphis Redbirds 6 Box Score Tough one for the Stripers as projected starter Didier Fuentes was a healthy scratch with a potential move to Atlanta in the near future. As a result Gwinnett was forced to engage in a bullpen game that had relief pitcher Tayler Scott getting the nod […]
Game ones of a playoff series often show us how teams want to defend, attack, and use their strengths and weaknesses. They are also just the first step in a complex and sometimes long process that is followed up with adjustments and tweaks. Regardless, the opening game tends to give us a good idea of […]
I’m gonna tell you something you might not know. The Dodgers have scored the most runs in baseball this year, on a per-game basis. Yeah, sure, you probably surmised. The Braves are second. Yeah, okay, you probably know that because, well, you’re reading this. But, guess who’s third? Yeah, as you can tell from the […]
It seems the secret to Sunday success for the Braves is to play Sunday Night Baseball. For the second straight week, the Braves were successful via the new version of Sunday Night Baseball on Peacock. They come from behind to beat the Phillies 4-2 and completed a splendid weekend sweep of their division rival. After […]
When you don’t have a first-round pick in a draft, the notion that you can just take the best player left on the board, and fit him into your system as you go, takes a bit of a knock. You are then tasked with ensuring that the guys you take from the second round on […]
It was a big weekend for Philadelphia sports. The Sixers and Flyers began their first-round playoff series, while the Phillies hosted the first-place Braves for a three-game series. The Flyers came through with a hard fought 3-2 win on Saturday night. But the rest of the weekend did not go well for the city (that […]
After a dominant win in Game 1, the Atlanta Braves did just enough in Games 2 and 3 to extend their winning streak to five games. Oh, and sweep the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time at Citizens Bank Park since September 2016. In a battle of the best and worst run differentials in the […]
Portland Trail Blazers star Deni Avdija has been named a finalist for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. Nickeil Alexander-Walker of the Atlanta Hawks and Jalen Duren of the Detroit Pistons join Avdija as the other two finalists for the award. Compared to last season, Avdija’s points per game have improved from 16.9 to 24.2 […]
Grant Holmes and the Braves are hoping to sweep the leg vs. the Philadelphia Phillies in the series finale on Peacock. First pitch is scheduled for 7:20 pm ET. Game Notes Pitching matchup Lineups
The Phillies will try to salvage the final game of their series against the Atlanta Braves. The offense has been largely non-existent in the first two games, as the Phillies have lost by scores of 9-0 and 3-1. Righthander Andrew Painter will be given the ball in an attempt to avoid a sweep. The Braves […]
Terry Fontenot made five draft-day trades in his five seasons in Atlanta, four of them jumping up and one trading back. In those five trades, Fontenot never picked up a single selection, and out of the eight players he acquired making those trades, only James Pearce Jr. (whose future with the team in uncertain), Matthew […]
A sweep on Sunday Night Baseball sounds pretty sweet to me. The Atlanta Braves will run with their standard lineup opposing RHPs to face Phillies rookie Andrew Painter. Michael Harris II, who came into last night’s game in the seventh once lefty Cristopher Sanchez departed, is back in his usual spot in the nine hole […]
Select folks in the Battery Power community (in our comments and Feed) and the FOX broadcast last night seemed to be of a similar mindset – underestimating the boys from Cobb County. Pitching matchups favoring PHI, the stars in their lineup on the verge of breaking out, and the home turf advantage / house of […]
Pitcher Osvaldo Bido has been claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox. The Atlanta Braves had designated him for assignment on April 16, 2026. Bido, who pitched last season with the West Sacramento Athletics, has surfed across the waiver wire six times since the end of the 2025 season – including two stints with […]
Saturday saw some interesting things down on the farm as the Atlanta Braves affiliates split the four games played. The most noteworthy events were JR Ritchie’s scoreless outing and big days from first rounder Tate Southisene as well as Nick Montgomery in Augusta. We also had a scoreless outing from Zach Royse, Dixon Williams returning […]
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have yet to lose a series this season, are five games atop their division. Last season, they fell five games back after the first seven games. This season so far they are outrunning their xwOBA by .008 points. Last year, they were behind .007. This year the Braves […]
In Saturday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Tyrese Proctor’s Cleveland Cavaliers beat Toronto, featuring RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram, 126-113. Denver, with Tyus Jones, knocked off the Timberwolves, 116-105. The Hawks, coached by Quin Snyder and featuring Jalen Johnson, lost to New York, 113-102. The Los Angeles Lakers, coached by JJ Redick and starring Luke Kennard, grounded […]
The Braves continue to just cruise this season, in a refreshing departure from last season. Chris Sale had a really nice outing against the Phillies’ lineup on Saturday, backed up by Dylan Lee and Robert Suarez, while the offense got enough done to win the game. That makes for the sixth series win this season, […]
When I was growing up, the term “broken record” never really made sense to me. If a record was broken, to my young and impressionable mind, how would it actually work in the first place? I knew that the general meaning was that if something sounded like a broken record, you’d hear it over and […]
It was a battle of the lefty aces in Philly on Saturday, as Chris Sale led the Braves against Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies, with Atlanta seeking to secure a series win. Ronald Acuna led off the game with a 107 MPH, 404 foot fly ball that landed for an out due to a Brandon […]
Fun fact: Jesse Itzler, who wrote “Go New York Go” is both a Knicks fan and a minority co-owner of the Hawks. Mr. Itzler must have felt some conflicted feelings as he sat down to watch the Knickerbockers host Atlanta in Game One of the Eastern Conference First Round. And it must have been a […]
