The Braves are hitting the ball pretty hard this season, but have had a number of barreled outs and haven’t always seen results from hitting the ball well. It does seem like some of this might be due to the balls being further deadened, as has seemingly been a trend over recent years. Some of […]
Coming into this game, the Braves had exorcised a lot of their 2025 demons with their 6-2 start, but one remained conspicuously absent: the one-run loss. Well, in their ninth game of the season, they finally had a one-run decision, and, in somewhat-reminiscent-of-2025 fashion, it was a loss that probably could have, and at times […]
The Braves try to make it (gasp!) four in a row, and three in a row against the Diamondbacks, as Bryce Elder and Michael Soroka square off in the desert.
Today’s Lineups BRAVES DIAMONDBACKS Ronald Acuna – RF Ketel Marte – 2B Drake Baldwin – C Corbin Carroll – RF Matt Olson – 1B Geraldo Perdomo – SS Austin Riley – 3B Gabriel Moreno – C Mike Yastrzemski – LF Adrian Del Castillo – DH Ozzie Albies – 2B Nolan Arenado – 3B Michael Harris […]
Can’t say that you can really blame the Braves for not changing anything… did you know they have a better record than the Dodgers right now? This will their fifth time using this lineup in nine games. The Diamondbacks are making a few changes. Adrian Del Castillo missed the first few games of the season […]
Not long after the Brooklyn Nets lost once again Friday night, this time by 40 ignominious points to the red-hot Atlanta Hawks at Barclays, word arrived from the west coast that the Sacramento Kings had won their game with the New Orleans Pelicans in a tight one that came down to the final seconds!! Huzzah!! […]
Is there a more beloved former Brave than Michael Soroka? (Maybe Freddie Freeman?) Perhaps because the phrase, “What could have been?” peals more sharply with regard to Soroka than anyone else, the fondness for the Canadian giraffe-necked right-hander from this corner, at least, is at its max. But, on Saturday night, the Braves will face […]
Minor League Baseball is officially in full swing as Columbus and Augusta opened their seasons on Friday and the starting pitching for Atlanta’s farm affiliates absolutely dominated across the board. (4-3) Gwinnett Stripers 8, (1-6) Round Rock Express 1 Box Score Simply put, Didier Fuentes look electric in his first start of the season for […]
Game Summary Another Friday night, another tough loss. This week’s episode featured outstanding starting pitching from the hologram himself, Eduardo Rodriguez, as well as some incredible defense. Unfortunately, the offense didn’t come along for the ride and is now riding a streak of 3 runs scored in 27 innings since that 3-run go-ahead bomb off […]
In a game dominated by the two starting pitchers, it was Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson who stepped to the plate with the score 0-0 in the ninth inning and answered the bell to give the Braves their third consecutive win and improve their record on the young season to 6-2. The Braves have now […]
The Hawks came out hot in Brooklyn — and as they should against a very inexperienced Nets squad. Within five minutes, it was 16-4 good guys, and it didn’t look like the home team could put up any fight. Atlanta was basically a hot knife to the soft butter of Brooklyn. They diced up the […]
The Atlanta Braves have started the season with three straight series-opening wins after last night’s 17-2 thumping of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now they go for their first three-game winning streak of the season in Game 2 of the four-game series Friday night in Phoenix. Atlanta will give the ball to Grant Holmes as he looks […]

Speaking to reporters ahead of tonight’s matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernández announced that Danny Wolf and Michael Porter Jr. will miss the remainder of the 2025–26 season. Wolf was shut down with a left ankle injury, while the team opted not to rush Porter Jr. back before the season’s […]
This is unfortunate. The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 40. As if last night’s game wasn’t sucky enough already. Lawlar was hit on the wrist last night, by a pitch in the seventh inning from the Braves’ Osvaldo Bido. Initial X-rays proved negative at the time, but […]

After last night’s offensive explosion which saw the Braves score nearly as many runs (17) as they had in their first six games combined (24), a left-handed starter on the mound for Arizona is forcing Atlanta to switch things up in the lineup. With Eduardo Rodriguez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) taking the mound for the Diamondbacks, […]
We have a trade to talk about, folks — it’s not a big one but it’s a trade, nonetheless! In fact, the Braves have gone back to one of their most frequent trade partners (or at least it feels that way, as ComeBackTedTurner mentioned in the linked Feed post) for another deal: The Los Angeles […]
The Falcons revealed new uniforms on Thursday. Are they good, bad, or ugly? Kevin Knight takes a closer look at Atlanta’s new jerseys and uniform combinations, ranking his favorites and discussing if these new outfits are an improvement on the previous era. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of the Dirty Birds and Brews podcast! […]
Folks, I’m gonna say it. Seven games into the 2026 season, the vibes around the Atlanta Braves are getting dangerously high. Maybe it’s just PTSD from the marathon of pain that was the 2025 season, but Thursday night’s 17-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks was some serious catharsis — and whiplash from the strong pitching […]
The league announced offseason workout dates for everyone today, and we now know the Falcons will be kicking things off with voluntary minicamp from April 21-25. Following that, organized team activities (OTAs) will take place from May 18-19, May 21, May 26-27, May 29, June 8-9, and June 11. Mandatory minicamp runs from June 16-18 […]
The Bears had been holding out hope that the NFL would see things their way and that they would still be awarded comp picks for their assistant general manager, Ian Cunningham, being hired by the Atlanta Falcons as their general manager. The issue, of course, was that Matt Ryan was the Falcons’ President of Football, […]
Six games left. That is the total amount of dates before we can set our eyes on a brighter future. A few days ago, Brooklyn was belittled by a red hot Charlotte Hornets team that have been enjoying the fruits of its labor. Including their victory against the Nets and their 20 point win against […]
We’re only a week into this new season and nearly two months overall into the Automated Ball-Strike System and I’ve seen enough. It’s what we all thought it would be, y’all: ABS is a real and true game-changer for Major League Baseball. This is a pretty big benefit for the sport as a whole and […]
