Well the Braves are quietly cruising so far this season, with a strong 8-5 record and tied for the MLB lead in run differential. The rotation hasn’t been a weakness yet overall, though the fifth spot had been pretty rough, and while the offense hasn’t been truly humming, only 3 teams in MLB have scored […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers took down the Atlanta Hawks in a potential playoff preview. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Cross-Matching The Cavs started this game by throwing a wicked curveball at the Hawks.

Okay, so technically relentless would be scoring in every inning, and the Braves only scored in five of the nine frames available to them, but hey — it worked just fine. The offense started early and didn’t stop until well past clobberin’ time, leading to an 8-2 victory over the Angels. Meanwhile, Grant Holmes did […]

Is Eli White okay? I haven’t seen anything indicating he is, but that makes this particular Braves arrangement a bit of a headscratcher: A lot of this is what we’ve seen be the Braves’ usual fare against lefties this season. But Mike Yastrzemski is hanging out there, left-on-left, in the seventh spot in the lineup. […]
Last night, Walt Weiss told the assorted Braves media that catcher Sean Murphy would be heading on a rehab assignment as soon as Friday. While we knew that Friday would be the day, we didn’t know which of the four Braves minor league teams that Murphy would be playing for as he makes his final […]
The Braves have been, perhaps disappointingly, even steven so far on their seven-game swing out West: they split a four-game set with the Diamondbacks, and then split the first two games of this series with the Angels. After some fisticuffs and go-for-the-throat bullpen management in a win last night, they have a chance to both […]
New Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins will be remembered as a solid player whose career spanned two decades. He, however, will also go down as one of the most successful players ever to life when it comes finances and contractual success. After his unique deal with the Raiders, which combines money from the Atlanta […]

The Atlanta Braves evened the series on Tuesday night after a 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Reynaldo López got the start. He allowed two runs, walked two, and struck out seven.

Dude. The Atlanta Braves are currently up 4-2 on the Los Angeles Angels in the bottom of the fifth inning during the middle game of their three-game series in Anaheim.
