Latest news and updates about the Braves
Hey, universe! Let Dominic Smith get some starts! Which means, stop making the Braves face lefty starters! In tonight’s contest, the Braves will be taking aim at a lefty starter for the fourth time in five games. You have to go back to May 4, the start of a streak where the Braves faced four […]
The quirks of MLB scheduling are, well, quirky. The Braves only play the Red Sox six times over the course of the 2026 regular season, but because those games are 11 days apart, the pitching matchups can feel a bit repetitive. Bryce Elder and Connelly Early didn’t square off against one another two weekends ago […]
Normally this is a series that we update after the draft, and then again upon the end of the season. Well, you have to stay hip to the trends and with several outlets already updating their top 30 lists after a full month of the season, we wanted to make sure we provided you with […]
It was disappointing for Atlanta Braves fans to see one of the top prospects from the 2025 draft class go down almost immediately this season. Finally, though, Conor Essenburg brings his power bat back into an exciting Augusta lineup and he started his next stint with an early hit. (28-24) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (31-21) Nashville […]
The Atlanta Braves kept things interesting on Tuesday night but ultimately improved to 37-18 after a 7-6 win over the Boston Red Sox. Spencer Strider got the start, and the win; things started out shaky, but he settled in to give the offense a chance to even things up. His night ended after five innings, […]
The Atlanta Braves take the win against the Boston Red Sox 7-6 at Fenway Park, in an ending that came eerily close; the offensive production woke up when it mattered. After giving up two back-to-back homers in the bottom of the first to Boston’s Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela (2-0), Spencer Strider held the Red […]
On the most beautiful weather night for baseball so far this year at Fenway Park, Ranger Suarez tries to post yet another beautiful pitching line (he’s already held opponents to zero earned runs in five starts this year). Lineup wise, the most interesting detail is Mickey Gasper starting at catcher, and while that’s most likely […]
The Braves are hoping to wake up their offense with Strider on the mound to avoid three-straight losses. And for the Red Sox, well, they’re just hoping they can get over 3.7 runs per game. As always, you know where to find us for the recap. First pitch is set for 6:45 p.m. EDT Lineups […]
This has been a rough year when it comes to notable names in Atlanta Braves history passing away. There was the double blow of losing both Ted Turner and Bobby Cox within the same week and now a former player has passed on. The Braves somberly shared the news that former star Bob Horner has […]
The Red Sox at Fenway Park in 2026 is a very on brand for the year 2026. You walk up Lansdowne Street excited for a game and then they actually start playing. Boston opens the series at 22-30, last place in the AL East, against a Braves team that is 36-18 with among the best […]
Alright, so here we are, folks. It’s the day after Memorial Day which is usually the moment in the season where I’d say that it’s safe to start taking whatever’s happening in the standings a bit more seriously. We’re over a quarter of the way deep into this campaign and basically the news is nothing […]
This question is entirely in service of me telling you this one crazy factoid (and also to fulfill the daily question post quota): Across the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons, the Braves never had a stretch of more than three games without a homer. They had a five-game and four-game homerless streak in […]
The Braves will be on the road this week versus the Red Sox and the Reds. As the offense looks to get back going in the right direction, Mark Bowman of MLB.com made sure to keep the perspective positive. He makes the case for nine current Braves to be All-Stars, and none of the resumes […]
The Nationals have won 3 of their last 4 series and have taken over 2nd place in the National League East as we enter the end of May. After coming excruciatingly close to sweeping the Atlanta Braves, they now finish their quick road trip with a 3-game set against the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland has been […]
For the last four seasons, I’ve dialed up the old analog machine to project the balance of that current season. As silly as it sounds, there have been time – like last year – when the predictive outcome was more accurate than anyone would like. Before this goes any further – this is tongue-in-cheek. This […]
Going 4-3 against the Marlins and Nationals last week wasn’t ideal, but that also speaks to just how high expectations have climbed for the Braves, who are in a nominal tie with the Rays for the best record in MLB. (The Braves have played four more games, so the Rays are ahead on percentage points.) […]
For most of this season, the Nationals formula for success has been scoring runs in bunches. After all, they have scored the most runs in all of baseball. However, with the bats being quiet this weekend in Atlanta, the Nats had to find a different way to win. They did just that by outpitching the […]
A very low-effort question for when folks should probably be anywhere else but here… especially given the off-day, even if it is a U.S. federal holiday and all. Which is really the question itself. It’s a holiday, which usually means MLB has a full slate of games, often afternoon games. Yet, MLB does not have […]
The Braves offense just could not find its usual groove over the weekend. After an exciting win on Friday. the Braves were shut out Saturday and did not score a run till the ninth on a rainy 2-1 Sunday loss to the Nationals. It was only the Braves second series loss of the season, but […]
The Braves had their worst performance of the season in the first game in the Miami, and then bounced back to deliver three straight clobberings. There was no inkling that they’d return home for a soggy holiday weekend and suffer a letdown, but ultimately, that’s what happened. Whatever combination of weather, travel, regular baseball season […]
How about these Washington Nationals! They just took two out of three in Atlanta to hand the Braves their second series loss of the season. The Nats offense was not firing on all cylinders this weekend, but the pitching staff picked up the bats. This offense deserved the help they got from the pitching this […]
Even heavy rain couldn’t wash away a poor series at the plate for the Atlanta Braves. The Braves were shutout through six innings of Sunday’s rubber match against the Washington Nationals, facing a 1-0 deficit. One 90-minute weather delay later, that deficit grew to 2-0. The Braves rallied mildly in the ninth, but left the […]
Just like yesterday, Mother Nature is interrupting the Braves game with today’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals has been delayed due to (the threat of) inclement weather. Or in this case, the start of the game has been delayed. Current start time is projected for 4:30PM. Call it the Braves pulling […]
After playing right field the last three days while dealing with a bone bruise in his left thumb, Ronald Acuña Jr. will serve as the Braves’ designated hitter for Sunday’s home series finale against the Washington Nationals. Mauricio Dubon is back in the two-hole against left-handed starter Foster Griffin (5-2, 4.02 ERA) and Ha-Seong Kim […]
Saturday saw the teams in the Atlanta Braves organization split six games down the middle. Cade Kuehler threw his third straight great game, while Isaiah Drake, John Gil, and Jim Jarvis all had notable days at the plate. We also got to get the full Jhancarlos Lara experience, where he got himself into trouble, but […]
