Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Once again, Monday was a reminder that many parts of the Braves offense have been on fire so far this Spring. Drake Baldwin had another outstanding showing in the Braves Spring Training Victory over the Rays. Ronald Acuna Jr. was a big reason as to why team Venezuela will be facing Team USA in the […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in action on Monday to face the Orlando Magic. No, it wasn’t the illustrious Magic City Monday that was canceled last week, but it was still a highly anticipated matchup between two of the hottest teams in the league. The Hawks came in on a nine-game winning streak, while the Maguv […]
Well, the Atlanta Braves Grapefruit League Offensive Barrage keeps on truckin’, as the Braves are now 16-5 after a blowout 11-2 win over the Rays. They basically bonked Nick Martinez for four innings, and then bonked some Rays relievers/roster hopefuls for more runs later. The bonking started early — Mike Yastrzemski doubled to lead off […]
While much of Braves Country were watching the snow this morning, the Atlanta Braves made a Spring Training move. The Braves sent Aaron Schunk and Brewer Hicklen to minor league camp today. Schunk gives them infield depth at the minor league level, but not a ton more. Aaron had 131 somewhat forgettable plate appearances with […]
It’s time for the Braves to once again play the Rays in Spring Training. Why? Because the schedule does not care. Chris Sale will get yet another tune-up against Rays fill-ins and minor leaguers, while Nick Martinez has to deal with basically the Braves’ regulars. And hey, look, this game is on BravesVision. That’s kind […]
Atlanta’s clearly still looking to make some moves in free agency. They restructured Jake Matthews’ deal last week to free up some cap space, and now they’ve done the same with A.J. Terrell’s contract. The restructure gives Atlanta about $9 million more to work with. That in turns makes Terrell’s contract unpalatable to move on […]
Opening Day isn’t until next week. What can we do while the Braves put their roster together? Personally, I’m going to figure out my NCAA bracket. Beats working, that’s for sure. Want to join us? We have a tournament bracket every year. If you want to spend three minutes (or three days) playing along, please […]
If you are a fan of the Braves and baseball in general, this weekend was we worth the wait. From WBC moments to multiple Braves pitching prospects looking highly impressive, it was a great reminder that baseball is here to stay for the next 6+ months. On Sunday for the Braves, JR Ritchie once again […]
It’s understandable for a fanbase to be optimistic in March when a significant signing is made. While championships aren’t normally won in free agency, this time period can be a crucial supplement to the long-term vision. The Falcons’ new regime is operating toward the future based on their lack of major signings. Despite navigating through […]
Your Atlanta Hawks have won nine straight games with a chance to extend that streak to double digits tonight against the Orlando Magic. It wasn’t always smooth sailing this season, of course. The team made the decision to part with their superstar player, Trae Young, and continued wheeling and dealing all the way up to […]
Today’s recap is going to be a short and sweet, as this game was light on action and light on Braves’ roster candidates, as Jose Suarez got the start, to be followed by JR Ritchie. Suarez looked pretty good by his standards, striking out 3, walking 2, and accruing 10 whiffs over 4.0+ scoreless innings […]
JR Ritchie was slated to start today’s game, but instead, Jose Suarez gets the start, with Ritchie set to get some work later in the game. Taijuan Walker will take the mound for Philly, coming off of a rough two seasons and looking to bounce back in a contract year. The Braves are running out […]
The Atlanta Braves will visit BayCare Ballpark on Sunday afternoon for some Grapefruit League action. Taijuan Walker will be the first pitcher for the Phillies, fresh off his stint with the Mexican team in the WBC. The Braves are expected to start with lefthander Jose Suarez. Game time is 1:05 and will be televised locally […]
For a team with talent like the Braves have, Spring Training should be about only two things. One, staying healthy and two, letting the prospects shine for the entire organization. The numbers that the starters put up should be thrown away. Also, the 14-5 record should be ignored as well. But some of the starters […]
Well the pitching has been an injury mess this spring, but it must be said that in general, pretty much everyone who has stayed healthy on the pitching and hitting side have performed at or above expectation so far. If this team’s offense can really get going again and the bullpen is elite as it […]
Today was a lot better for Bryce Elder as far as results during spring training are concerned. Elder had a successful ramp-up during against the Red Sox and bounced back from a rough outing during his last appearance as the Braves continued to get ready for regular season action. For all the grief that we […]
Despite strong box score games from Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr., the Bucks continued their losing ways against the soaring Atlanta Hawks—who now own a league-best nine-game win streak. In what has become a hallmark of the Bucks’ season, turnovers were again the bane of the Milwaukee’s game, while Wisconsin native Jalen Johnson led […]
On a Saturday afternoon Kids Game, the Hawks met the Bucks looking for their longest win streak since they won 19 straight way back in 2014-15. The Hawks were without Jonathan Kuminga, whereas the Bucks were missing Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ousmane Dieng. Atlanta once again established early control of the contest, with solid defensive possessions […]
Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks stood little chance against the league’s hottest team, the Atlanta Hawks, handing them their ninth straight victory in a matinee blowout at State Farm Arena. Oft-Buck killer (this season, at least) CJ McCollum had a game-high 30 points for the home team, Wisconsin native Jalen Johnson had a 23-point […]
It’s time for more Bryce Elder, folks! I know you’re amped up to see it and I’m certainly amped up to talk about it. Yep, I totally mean that with all sincerity. In all seriousness though, let’s hope that we see Elder show some improvement after his last outing was a bit of a mess. […]

Where, When, and How to Watch and Listen Location: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA Start Time: 3:00 PM EDT TV: FanDuel Sports Network Southeast (FDSNSE) Radio: Sports Radio 92.9 the Game […]
Aside from it being the Josh Minott career game, the Nets’ matchup with the Atlanta Hawks was a pretty forgettable bout. With the absence of Michael Porter Jr., Ziaire Williams, and Nolan Traore, Brooklyn was pretty much doomed from the start, especially with Atlanta on a surge to take the eighth seed of the Eastern […]
Didier Fuentes announced his presence with authority yesterday. It’s only Spring Training, but a 5/0 K/BB ratio will get you noticed. Watch this 98.7 MPH fastball yesterday. Now pair that with this sweeper. Didier definitely showed off the goods yesterday against the Yankees road lineup. It’s definitely enough to get him involved in the Braves’ […]
The Milwaukee Bucks front up today against the Atlanta Hawks in what will likely be their final chance to beat a side right above them in the standings (and thus gain a full game on that opponent). Analysts like Zach Lowe have wondered whether Giannis will get shut down soon if they don’t stack wins […]
The Atlanta Braves continued to trim down the roster on Friday, with John Gil and Tayler Scott being the next victims. After these two were reassigned to minor league camp, the Atlanta roster stands at 47. Infielder Gil appeared in 17 games this spring, where he hit .158. He spent most of his time at […]
