Latest news and updates about the Braves
Yesterday, Grant McAuley of Atlanta’s 92.9 the Game, From The Diamond and Battery Power, spoke with injured Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach about his rehabilitation progression. Schwellenbach told McAuley that he has starting throwing from 60 feet on flat ground every other day – a process that began six days ago. That will be […]
The Braves lost a game 2-0 to the Nationals, which is unfortunate because the Nationals are very much the profile of team that you should beat if you hold them to 2 runs (though statistically that applies to every team, the Nationals are especially pitching-deficient. That said, the Braves still have a chance for a […]
In this series, pitching has mostly ruled the day despite the two highest scoring teams in the league squaring off. That was especially true today. The Nats and Braves were locked in a pitchers duel. In the end, two solo home runs from Dylan Crews and Jorbit Vivas proved to be the difference. While the […]
It’s an understatement to say the Atlanta Braves’ run support didn’t show up in today’s matchup against the Washington Nationals. Falling 2-0, they just couldn’t find a way to rally late and get on the board with only one hit managed. Coming off a rain delay in the middle of the second inning, both teams […]
The rain came down in the middle of the second inning after threatening to do so since before the game started. Hang out here while we wait for the Braves and Nationals to re-start. No updates yet on the restart time. The tarps is still on the field, but not in the stands. Looks like […]
These last two losses have been agonizingly close to being wins for the Nats. They will have to get back on the horse in Atlanta and look to overcome last night’s draining defeat. The offense has been a little quiet these past couple of games, so hopefully the boys can start raking again. Blake Butera […]
Game two is underway, with the Washington Nationals looking to bounce back after being walked off in yesterday’s matchup in extras. The Atlanta Braves are expecting to win the series with Grant Holmes on the mound today. Check back in for a recap on how it all unravels at Truist. First pitch is set for […]
It’s a mixture of sunshine and overcast here in Atlanta, and rain is expected to come in later in the evening, but the show must go on…until further notice. Let’s look at these Saturday lineups. An impressive walk-off from a line-drive RBI single from Chadwick Tromp ended yesterday’s game one matchup against the Nationals in […]
The Braves have released 11.5 million dollars of bullpen funds that were committed to Aaron Bummer and Joel Payamps. A few relievers, like Carlos Carrasco, Ian Hamilton, and Osvaldo Bido, have come and gone (and/or come and gone in a circular pattern). Meanwhile, James Karinchak has been silencing Triple-A batters in obscurity. I know he […]
The Atlanta Braves improved to 36-16 after Friday night’s 5-4 win over the Washington Nationals. The win came in walk-off fashion, and this time, Chadwick Tromp was the hero, ripping a hit in the 11th inning to score Eli White. The hit capped a memorable night for Tromp, the fourth string catcher, who not only […]
The Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals are facing on in a battle of MLB’s top two scoring offenses. It is highly likely that no one truly predicted that these two teams would have scored the most runs this far into the season. The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Braves have […]
The Nats offense just could not get going yesterday, which was a rare occurrence. That led to a 2-1 loss against the Mets, with the Nats settling for a split of the four game series. Now the boys head to Atlanta to face a Braves team that has been baseball’s best this season. The Nats […]
In a matchup of the top two offenses so far in MLB this season, the Atlanta Braves will be taking on the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have continued their strong offensive showing leading MLB in runs and doubles while being fourth in OPS. The Braves are right behind them scoring the second most runs while […]
The Atlanta Braves are rolling. After the win yesterday against the Marlins, they now hold sole possession of the best run differential in MLB. They also have the most wins while reaching thirty-five wins the fastest they have in a season since their rebuild ended in 2018. Today starts a new series with a Washington […]
If I told you beforehand that the Atlanta Braves would end up winning their first four-game series of the season in order to keep this fantastic run of form to start the season going, you absolutely would’ve taken it. With that being said, this was definitely a bit of a Monkey’s Paw situation where the […]
It was a huge day at the plate for Alex Lodise, who seems to be coming around for Augusta following a two home run performance for them. With that effort Lodise tied for the team lead in home runs, and the top three in the lineup sit 1-2-3 on the team in home runs. Elsewhere […]
In light of the numerous injuries, the Atlanta Braves have continued the roster shuffle; this time, catcher Maverick Handley was claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, righty Hurston Waldrep was transferred to the 60-day injured list. 28-year-old Handley made his […]
Another game, another offensive outburst, another series win. The Braves continued to bounce back and then some from their 12-0 drubbing in the series opener, riding a trio of homers, including two by Michael Harris II, to yet another easy win over the Marlins in Miami. The Braves wasted no time in opening the scoring […]
Braves go for another series win. Worst they can do is a split in this four-game set.
After a couple of feel-good wins in Miami, the Braves can take the four-game set with another victory on Thursday night. Ha-Seong Kim returns to the lineup, and Chadwick Tromp will make his first start of the year as the Braves take aim at Sandy Alcantara. For the Marlins, it’s mostly a familiar set of […]
Let’s be so honest – would you even believe the Atlanta Braves had the best record in baseball if you’d been told that both Sean Murphy and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Drake Baldwin were on the IL at the same time? For eight glorious days we had our elite catching tandem, arguably the […]
Back in 2022-2023, the pitching matchup in tonight’s Braves-Marlins series finale would’ve been heralded far and wide. Things are a little different these days, but that doesn’t mean that either team will have an easy path to a victory. The Braves can no longer lose this series after yesterday’s victory, but they can indeed still […]
It wouldn’t be a day without a roster move, right? Right? Carlos Carrasco returns to Atlanta for the third time this season. He pitched an inning in late April and was DFAed six days later, then re-added in early May, pitched another frame, and was DFAed the next day. And, after signing a minor league […]
There was a power surge in the system on Wednesday, with home runs flying out all over the place for the Braves affiliates. Two notable guys who are having big years contributed to those numbers with Eric Hartman and Luis Guanipa both going deep for their respective clubs. Yet, it wasn’t a home run that […]
The Braves won another, the Phillies and Mets each lost another, and the division lead is back to 9.0 games, after a brief swoon back down to 7.0 games. They’ll have Spencer Strider on the mound, facing Sandy Alcantara, as they go for the series win in the four-game mid-week series. The loss of Drake […]
