Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Los Angeles Dodgers have the second-highest payroll in baseball and a star-studded roster that has led them to the past two World Series titles. But that doesn't mean that earning the three-peat will be easy.
The Atlanta Braves are not the best team in this postseason, but there do seem to be more of them than anyone else. Manager Walt Weiss has appeared blithely unconcerned by the math that demonstrates that the more pitching changes a team makes, the greater the likelihood that some of them will turn to shit. And yet Weiss persists, because these are the tools that have been provided for him. After the attrition of the regular season, he has at his disposal three discernible starting pitchers;...
We are amid one of the most insane seven-day stretches in Atlanta sports history. Sandwiched between the first four games of the NLDS is the Falcons versus the Saints on Monday Night Football. On Friday, we have a potential Game 5 between the Braves and Dodgers — and on Saturday, Georgia heads to Tuscaloosa for […]
The Dodgers needed one win to send the Atlanta Braves to the brink of elimination on Sunday. Instead, the Braves lineup forced an early exit from Blake Snell and scored two defining runs against the bullpen in a 3-2 win over the Dodgers, forcing the series back to Atlanta for Games 3 and 4. It […]
Walt Weiss has had some questionable moments through the first five postseason games, but it’s easy to criticize from the couch when things don’t go as planned. The facts are this: this is a club that hadn’t won a playoff series since 2021. They got that monkey off their back by defeating the Phillies in […]
The Atlanta Braves did what few expected them to do Sunday night. They beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 at Dodger Stadium, even while using a bullpen game, and returned home with the National League Division Series tied 1-1.

The […] The post Walt Weiss’ warning to Braves after beating Dodgers in Game 2 is wrong, but you get the point appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Good morning! Two close NLDS games took the stage last night with the Milwaukee Brewers taking a 2-0 series lead and the Atlanta Braves evening their series at 1-1.

The Braves got a hero performance on Sunday night and playoff history was made in the process.
After dropping Game 1 behind a bullpen game, the expectation was simple: Chris Sale would take the ball in Game 2, in what amounted to a must-win spot. It had been a full four days since his last start. And though he’d thrown 21 pitches of relief on Thursday, it felt impossible to imagine the […]
The Dodgers and Braves shift their National League Division Series to Atlanta, tied at one game apiece. On the off day Monday, let’s look back a little more at the disappointing Game 2 loss by Los Angeles. Blake Snell got only 11 outs on 90 pitches, and though he only allowed one run, the Dodgers […]
In some ways, it feels weird to re-litigate this after the Braves won in Game 2 without Chris Sale starting, but what happened feels so weird that I still can’t wrap my head around it. We basically have two things in play: First, Chris Sale has gotten extra rest ahead of many of his starts […]
In the end, the Braves accomplished their goal. Through a dramatic 3-2 win over the Dodgers, the Braves won Game 2 and split the series in LA. Now the, the Braves have flipped home field advantage and will welcome the Dodgers to Atlanta for Games 3 and 4, with a fully rested Chris Sale and […]
Good morning. This is the time of year that the news becomes outdated very quickly. There won’t be anything about last night’s Dodgers/Braves game because I’m writing this before it ended. And not much from the Brewers and Padres Game 2.
The Dodgers were lucky to fall just a run short in what ended up being an unintentional bullpen game.
