Michael Harris II sits as Braves shuffle bottom of the order
Michael Harris II was seen favoring his ailing quad during last night’s win over the Tigers, and as such, it’s not surprising to see him get another breather in a short turnaround matinee game, especially given that Framber Valdez throws with his left hand. The absence of Harris is part of a wholesale rejiggering of […]
Braves minor league recap: Dixon Williams homers, drives in three for Rome
It was a lackluster day down on the farm, but there were a handful of individual performances to highlight. So let’s dive into Wednesday’s action. (18-11) Gwinnett Stripers 9, (14-15) Charlotte Knights 10 Box Score Despite holding a three-run lead headed into the home half of the seventh inning, Gwinnett failed to hold on to […]
Bryce Elder, Braves look to sweep Tigers in matinee
Last year, the Braves randomly swept the Tigers late in the year, pulling down the relatively competitive team into their own 2025 muck for a bit. This year, the Braves are rocking and rolling and having a great time, and can sweep the Tigers again with a successful performance on Thursday afternoon. The Braves largely […]
Why don’t we relive this Matt Olson walkoff homer again?
In case you weren’t watching, the NL East leading Braves won yet another baseball game last night. They will end April without losing a series. And Matt Olson won it in the ninth. In case you haven’t seen it, where have you been? Oh my word. Here’s the longer clip. Here it is from CJ […]
Game 32 Preview: Can Tigers prevent sweep at Braves behind Valdez?
The Detroit Tigers fell under the .500 mark on Wednesday night after a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. It was the team’s second-straight defeat and fourth in the past five games. After failing to capitalize on a Tarik Skubal start, the Motor City Kitties turn to left-hander Framber […]
Walt Weiss gives Matt Olson the superstar tag following walk-off win
The Atlanta Braves appear to be back in that mode that we were used to seeing from a lot of these players during their run to the World Series in 2021 and their extremely successful regular seasons in 2022 and 2023. This is a squad that’s going to be incredibly competitive for all 27 outs […]
Braves News: Spencer Strider’s return, Matt Olson walk-off, more
The Braves secured a nother series win Wednesday in a game pitched by Tarik Skubal and that really is a symbol of how things have gone for Atlanta so far this season. Atlanta comfortably has the best record in baseball and the best run differential in baseball to back it up. Franchise player Ronald Acuna’s […]
Matt Olson’s walk-off bomb clinches series win vs. the Tigers, 4-3
The Tigers needed their ace tonight, and they got him. Tarik Skubal was as advertised. Outside of one blemish to start the game, he did not allow a Braves runner in scoring position in his seven innings of work. It would’ve been a well-deserved, tip-your-cap type of win. But the 2026 Braves simply won’t be […]
Tigers 3, Braves 4: Atlanta walks it off as Kenley Jansen drops the ball
The Tigers were hoping to bounce back from their Tuesday evening loss to the Braves, and they were hoping Tarik Skubal would be the man on the mound to make that happen. Atlanta was leaning on J.R. Ritchie to get them the second win of the series. The Tigers started out aggressively against Ritchie, with […]

Dylan Lee gets reinstated from paternity list and Carlos Carrasco gets designated for assignment
Congratulations are apparently in order for Dylan Lee and his family, as he’s been reinstated from the paternity list after missing Tuesday’s Braves win over the Tigers. Of course, there’s got to be a corresponding move and as it turns out, Didier Fuentes isn’t going straight down. Instead, Carlos Carrasco’s time with the Braves big […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Alex Lodise homers twice
Alex Lodise was off to an underwhelming start in Augusta with high strikeouts and not nearly as much power production as we had hoped, but the first game of the week was a chance for him to break out as he went deep twice as part of Augusta’s 12-run, five home run performance. Luis Guanipa […]
Game 31 Preview: Tigers look to even up series at Braves behind Skubal
The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game weekday series against the Atlanta Braves after a disappointing 5-2 loss at Truist Park on Tuesday night. Adding insult to… um, injury, was losing Casey Mize to right groin tightness and Javier Báez to a bum right ankle. Both will undergo MRIs prior to Wednesday night’s game to […]
Braves News: Didier Fuentes recalled, Spencer Strider, Sean Murphy updates, and more
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that right-hander Didier Fuentes has been recalled to Atlanta as a result of moving lefty Dylan Lee to the paternity list. The move continues the rollercoaster of options for Fuentes, who was recalled last week before being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett again. In three appearances so far this season, Fuentes […]
Ozzie Albies homers in win as Martin Pérez continues to surprise
The Atlanta Braves took on the Detroit Tigers in a clash of first place teams, both with some of the best rotation outputs in MLB. The Braves are red hot having won twenty games before May for the first time in franchise history, and going 20-9 for only the ninth time in franchise history. This […]

Atlanta Braves vs Detroit Tigers game thread
The Atlanta Braves look to continue as the only team in MLB to not lose a series after going 10-3 after thirteen straight games in their own division. The Tigers have been good in their own right being in first place in their division while sporting one of the best top three rotation arms in […]
Braves injury updates on Spencer Strider, Spencer Schwellenbach, Ha-Seong Kim and more
Hoo boy, we got an absolute litany of updates from Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss during his usual pre-game press conference. It was as if the skipper just decided to take this opportunity to clear the air about the handful of Braves players who are in various stages of working their way back onto the […]
Michael Harris back at CF and Dominic Smith at DH against Detroit Tigers
The Atlanta Braves and their league leading offense are facing the Detroit Tigers having just won twenty games before the month of May for the first time in franchise history. The Braves lead MLB with 5.72 runs scored per game. To put that in perspective, if they continue to score this many runs per game […]
Dylan Lee to paternity list, Didier Fuentes recalled
Did we want Didier Fuentes back in Atlanta? I wanted him back and taking a rotation spot. Of course, the whole “must stay down after being optioned unless recalled due to injury” rule put a minor spanner in that particular set of works… until the Braves apparently found a way around it through the miracle […]
How many runs will the Braves score off the Tigers’ bullpen?
The Tigers are somewhat intimidating, I’ll admit. They come into this series sixth in wRC+, but second (above the Braves) in xwOBA. Their rotation is fourth in fWAR, and the Braves will not see their one starter that’s been bad so far (Jack Flaherty). Those two things suggest something considerably weighty for the Braves to […]
Braves News: Ha-Seong Kim Update, Tigers Come to Town, More
Monday was likely a welcome off-day for the Atlanta Braves, a rare off day in the middle of a home stand for the team to catch its breath and reset. Fortunately, a resetting is not due to a lack of quality play as the Braves have the best record in baseball. However, the quality of […]
Game 30 Preview: Tigers head to Atlanta to take on Braves
The Detroit Tigers wrap up their nine-game interleague schedule this week by heading south to face the Atlanta Braves starting on Tuesday night. After taking two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers at home before dropping two of three at the Cincinnati Reds, the Motor City Kitties move on to face the top team […]
Braves off day open thread: April 27
Good evening, folks! There’s no game tonight as the Braves are getting a rare off day in the middle of a homestand. There’s still some stuff to talk about and this is your chance to chat about anything you want (that makes sense for a baseball blog site, haha). What I’m watching tonight Game of […]
