The Philadelphia Phillies are surging, sitting just three games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves after Don Mattingly's promotion to manager appeared to unlock a higher gear following Rob Thomson's departure. They are also a team that knows exactly what happens when you ignore rotation depth at the deadline.
FanSided's Christopher Kline floated a trade proposal connecting the Phillies to Baltimore Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers as a buy-low option to bolster their depth ahead of ...
The St. Louis Cardinals begin a challenging road trip starting Tuesday night in Atlanta as they’ll do battle against the NL East division-leading Braves. Timing may be on the side of St. Louis, though, as there are some numbers that might work in their favor. If you look at their records on paper, you would […]
There’s one more off day until the Atlanta Braves are back in action on this side of the country. Hopefully the change in scenery will result in a change in fortune for the Braves, who have been on a very dire run as of late. As I mentioned with the title of a series recap […]
The Braves have a number of high-upside starting pitchers working their way back from major injuries. Hurston Waldrep made his season debut last week after undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow at the beginning of Spring Training. AJ Smith-Shawver has begun his rehab assignment and will make his first rehab start on […]

There weren’t too many groans when the Braves decided to ink Ha-Seong Kim to a one-year, $20 million deal to return for the 2026 season. Shortstop has long been a problem area in Atlanta since Dansby Swanson left for Chicago, and Kim looked the part of an upgrade in his short stint with the team, […]
The Atlanta Braves should be looking for a left-handed starter at the MLB trade deadline. It just should not be Tarik Skubal. Skubal is the dreamy name. He is young(er), dominant, and good enough to change the entire National League…
The Braves dropped out of the top five in this week's FanGraphs Power Rankings.
We are a little over a month away from the MLB trade deadline, and if June has taught us anything, it’s that the Braves need a lot of help. The rotation must be upgraded. It’s non-negotiable if Atlanta is serious about winning the division and competing for the World Series. However, the offense can no […]
I guess this point when you consider the nasty run of form that the Braves are currently in and the fact that these games took place in California, we should be thrilled that this wasn’t a sweep. Still, it certainly didn’t feel good to essentially watch this team just completely hit the wall for the […]
The Braves will be happy once the calendar flips to July in hopes that their fortunes will change after one of their worst all-around months over the last decade. It also means they are one step closer to getting some reinforcements in the form of injured players returning and, of course, the trade deadline. Among […]
(41-38) Gwinnett Stripers 8, (45-35) Nashville Sounds 5 Box Score A continuation from Saturday’s game ended with a good result for the Gwinnett Stripers as the pitching staff did just enough to preserve an early lead to give the Stripers the win. Austin Gomber originally got the start but after rain caused the game to […]
The Braves should be eager to get home after yet another dismal road trip that saw them go 1-5 out west, much of which can be attributed to a struggling offense that scored just seven runs in five of their games. That’s probably the most shocking aspect of Atlanta’s recent rough patch. The starting pitching […]
Another veteran bat could help the Braves rebuild momentum and secure their lead over the Phillies.
Nothing caps off misery even better than immediately wheeling your approach around to something completely different to try to win a series, only to get destroyed by bloop hits, swinging bunts, and your own defensive miscues. I won’t dwell on it. This is not a great week for me, so I’ll probably do stuff like […]
June cannot end soon enough for the Atlanta Braves. It was another miserable week for the Braves, as Sunday was just the latest disappointing performance despite another awesome effort from ace Chris Sale. It truly has been an entire month of struggles for the Braves, who know see that the NL East division lead is […]
The annual flurry of activity that is the MLB trade deadline is now just a month away, and for teams residing in the gray area between buying and selling, decision time is fast approaching.

In a pitching duel at Oracle Park, it was the Braves who faltered, leaving Chris Sale on the hook for a loss despite a good performance in a way that’s frustrating and familiar. Sage or something stronger may be needed to get the stink of this team, both bats AND gloves. Generally, the Braves were […]
We may be tracking toward seeing a bright blue glove back on the mound for the Atlanta Braves later this summer. In an interview with BravesVision, Braves president of baseball operations and GM Alex Anthopolous shared that AJ Smith-Shawver will make a start in Single-A with the Augusta GreenJackets to kick off his rehab assignment.

Beautiful day in the Bay for the 50th win of the season, who says no? Well, it may be the Braves offense, if last night is any indication. Logan Webb was as excellent as advertised, unfortunately. It’d be great to see some signs of life in this last West Coast road game of the season […]
