Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves began the series with the Boston Red Sox on a high note after getting a win in walk-off fashion. Mike Yastrzemski was the hero and delivered a walk-off in the 10th to give the Braves the 3-2 edge. Prior to the 10th inning, the Atlanta offense was relatively quiet. The lineup collected […]
The last week feels like rinse and repeat for these Boston Red Sox. From Peyton Tolle, Brayan Bello (post opener), Ranger Suarez, and now tonight with Connelly Early, the starting rotation is doing just what they need to do for this ball club. It’s when they step up to the plate they’re still like ghosts. […]
The Braves started their series against Boston off with Spencer Strider on the mound, looking to build on his strong start against the Dodgers. Spencer worked around a leadoff walk with two contact outs and a nice pickoff for a clean first inning. It didn’t take long for the Braves to give him some help, […]
After the offense sputtered in the series finale against the Phillies, don’t ask me how they stand to try against Spencer Strider and the MLB-best Atlanta Braves. We try in ATL tonight to kick off the weekend series! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:15pm — Truist Park, Atlanta, GA 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI

After a positive series hosting the Cubs, the Braves hope to get off to a good start in game 1 hosting the Red Sox. Spencer Strider starts for the Braves, hoping to continue his strong start in LA. The Red Sox will counter with Connelly Early. The Red Sox have not had a great start […]
The Red Sox have returned to the Dead Ball era. “Sell the team” chants have taken over NESN. Alex Cora was fired at 10-17. Chad Tracy is at 8-8. Craig Breslow is probably fielding calls about Aroldis Chapman, Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, Garrett Whitlock…guys who can help winning clubs right now. And Boston travels to […]
Yeah, I know. Regular season series are only three games long and sometimes four but this is one where you have to take the previous three games into a little consideration once we eventually get into talking about these three games. That’s because the Braves were entering this series against the Chicago Cubs hot off […]
It was a tough Thursday evening for the Atlanta Braves affiliates. They all took losses and none of them looked particularly good doing it. There were still some good things going on, especially down in Augusta, but it was overall a disappointing evening for the starting pitching. (25-17) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (17-25) Durham Bulls 5 […]
The Cubs are still having trouble scoring runs, as you likely saw in the team’s 2-0 win over the Braves Thursday evening in Atlanta. But with Ben Brown’s second straight excellent start and solid work from the bullpen, two runs was enough to win the game and end the Cubs’ four-game losing streak. The Cubs […]
In the preview for tonight’s game, I mentioned that this game might come down to who could find the big hits in the latter stages of the game. The Braves have made a good living when it comes to either turning games around or finishing things off during the money innings (seventh, eighth and ninth), […]
Go get ‘em, Ben.
Thursday notes… Cubs lineup: Braves lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Chris Sale, LHP Ben Brown threw exceptionally well last Friday against the Rangers, throwing four no-hit innings, with 31 strikes in 46 pitches, allowing just one walk. He’ll likely be allowed to go a bit farther tonight, though I wouldn’t expect more than maybe 65 […]

The Atlanta Braves are going for a sweep against the Chicago Cubs, which would cap off a fantastic six-game stretch if the Braves were able to pull it off. Things went well enough against right-handed Cubs starter Colin Rea in the first game and after shaking things up against the lefty Shota Imanaga in the […]
I’m not going to argue one way or another, I’m just throwing the question out there. The Braves got Mauricio Dubon in a salary dump. The Honduran utility man had a standout defensive year in 2025, accumulating 2.2 fWAR in just under 400 PAs, but that wasn’t enough for the Astros to be interested in […]
Shōta Imanaga is pitching like the ace everyone hoped he would be. Imanaga threw seven outstanding innings (and one batter into the eighth, and that inning led to the Cubs’ undoing), the third time this year he’s thrown seven. But Phil Maton could not hold a 1-1 tie together and the Cubs lost to the […]
Some good stuff has been happening on the farm for this Braves franchise this year, as a number of position-player prospects have been really showing out, including shortstops John Gil and Tate Southesene. Perhaps the most impressive has been 2024 20th round pick, Canadian centerfielder Eric Hartman. Hartman joined Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The stage is set, and the Chicago Cubs are looking for a get -back against the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. As leaders of the central themselves, they’re not going to be an easy team to keep at bay, especially if they can get some early runs. The Braves, however, are known to find their ways […]
ICYMI, the Cubs signed Liam Hendriks to a minor-league deal today. Can’t hurt, I suppose. Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Braves lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. JR Ritchie, RHP Shōta Imanaga has been just outstanding this year. Last seven starts: 1.70 ERA, 0.850 WHIP, 46 strikeouts in 42.1 innings with only three home runs allowed. The […]

After ending yesterday’s game against the Chicago Cubs with a one-hitter, the Atlanta Braves are looking to secure an early series win and a whole new offensive plan with rookie JR Ritchie on the mound. Let’s look at who we have. The one question that’s been surfacing is, “Where’s Dominic Smith on the starting lineup?” […]
With the MLB Draft only about two months away I thought it would be good to examine the history of the players selected with the picks the Atlanta Braves have in the 2026 MLB Draft. With the Braves picking ninth overall for their first selection, I decided to start by looking at the history of […]
Win 10, lose three, win 10, lose three. Win 10 again? Unlikely. But one of the more curious 26 game stretches we’ve ever seen has just concluded. What will be next? We can’t know. But the schedule doesn’t ease up. This Braves team is no joke. Coming off of a down season, experts were divided […]
