However, Weiss also acknowledged that an injured list stint remains a possibility if Harris does not […]
The Braves had not had a good time recently, especially in terms of hitting the ball. Jacob Misiorowski came into this game as the best pitcher in baseball. It seemed like a recipe for continued misery/Miz-ery. Well, I am happy to inform you that about two hours and thirty minutes after first pitch, the Braves […]
Box Score Despite having the tying runner on base twice in the top of the ninth inning, the Milwaukee Brewers came up short in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves, losing 3-2.

Gotta schedule this one ahead of time so no Statcast graphic. Oh well.

Well, there’s no no-bat catcher or Ha-Seong Kim in this lineup, which doesn’t really ameliorate the fact that they’re facing best-arm-in-baseball-right-now Jacob Misiorowski, but it is what it is. Remember when the Braves would slavishly alternate handedness in the lineup? Yeah, these days are not those days. This is very much a new lineup, with […]

Well, the slump is on. While it’s not surprising for any team to slump for a few games, and even less surprising for an injury-laden squad to do so, it’s still been quite a turnaround for a team that held baseball’s best record for quite a while. After going 1-6 in their last seven games, […]
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is a hot name in the rumor mill right now, as there is some speculation the franchise may trade him before the August 3 deadline.

The Pittsburgh Pirates made a late-night trade on Thursday night that will shift the landscape of two areas of the team. Pittsburgh dealt catcher Joey Bart to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for reliever Hunter Stratton. A familiar face, Stratton was a 16th-round pick of the Pirates in 2017 and pitched for the club for […]
During the 4th inning of Wednesday’s second game against the Braves, the Giants’ broadcasters used the occasion of Mike Yastrzemski, current Brave and former right-fielder for Giants, stepping into the box to discuss the defensive skills of his “protegé,” Jung Hoo Lee. Dave Flemming deemed Lee “a worthy successor.” Javy Lopez described Lee’s play in […]
Okay, we know they’re not really over it. But, it is kind of funny to think about. The Braves acquired Joey Bart late last night. The move is, on its face, a no-brainer. Bart was the second overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft (Alex Anthopoulos loves him some draft pedigree), but he’s also put […]
