Latest news and updates about the Braves
After actually winning a game on Saturday night, the Phillies will try to repeat the feat on Sunday afternoon in the finale of their series against the Braves. Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season. He’ll be opposed by Braves ace Chris Sale, […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their successful series record, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, after last week’s embarrassing sweep against them on their home turf, they’re looking to repay the favor and snap that extension. Let’s look at these rosters. The lineup for the Braves looks pretty identical to yesterday’s with a familiar […]
Saturday’s biggest story in the Atlanta Braves farm system had to be the weather. Not only were half of the games rained out, but the best performance of the day was cut short by a rain delay. Brett Sears got pulled a bit early because of that rain delay, but he was pitching a one-hit […]
The rain ahead of Saturday’s contest between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies may have forced Brian Snitker’s Braves Hall of Fame induction ceremony indoors but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of anybody who was in the house for Snit’s big day. That included Braves Hall-of-Famers Tim Hudson and Terry Pendleton, who were […]
You win some, you lose some. However, the Atlanta Braves have yet to lose a series this season and are the only MLB team to achieve this feat. Although they can’t repeat getting a sweep against the Philadelphia Phillies, they have an opportunity to bounce back from yesterday’s rainy day loss. Chris Sale, boasting a […]
Well, that was annoying. The Phillies were who the Braves thought they were, and they let them off the hook. The Braves took a game to extras and lost, but it required: When you step away from it, you are encouraged and appalled. The good news is that this stretch resembles their 26-4 run in […]
Braves News Brian Snitker was inducted to the Braves Hall of Fame on Saturday. The Braves lost what essentially turned into a coin flip of a game to the Phillies and will now go for a series win behind Chris Sale today. MLB News The Red Sox fired most of their coaching staff after a […]
The streak is over. The streak is over. The Phillies actually won a baseball game. For one night, it was the opposing team making mistakes. And for one night, it was the Phillies who capitalized on them. After a Harper walk with two outs, Mike Yastrzemski tried to lay out on an Adolis Garcia line […]

Zack Wheeler is back, but can he bring the mojo back to the team as they look to avoid an 11th loss in a row? Time will tell! Will anyone be watching this game with the Flyers Game 4 starting at 8:00pm? Time will tell! Lineups: Braves:
The Braves go for another series win against the Phillies, as Bryce Elder takes the bump facing off against Zack Wheeler in his first start back from injury. Wheeler has been somewhat diminished in his rehab starts, so we probably shouldn’t expect the prime Zack Wheeler. You can read more about the pitching matchup in […]
With a game 1 win in the books, the Braves maintain the top record and run differential in MLB so far this season. They will now have two chances to secure a series win over Philadelphia and the Phillies have now lost 10 straight. This is an important game for the Phillies, as their ace […]
The Atlanta Braves began the homestand on a high note and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3. For the first time in 19 years, the Braves have now won four straight over the Phillies to open a season. It was a solid night from both the lineup and the bullpen, but once again, Michael Harris II […]
It was a second straight heartbreaker as the Philadelphia Phillies (8-18) blew two leads en route to their 10th straight loss and fourth within that span to come at the hands of the rival Atlanta Braves (19-8) by a score of 5-3 on Friday Night Baseball. Andrew Painter made his fifth career start, his second […]
What a way to start a homestand. For those of us not in the sellout crowd on Star Wars Night, the crisp Apple TV cameras captured the first win of the season in the red uniforms. Atlanta remains a perfect 3-0 in Friday home games. Grant Holmes threw 89 pitches to go six and earn […]
It’s a big night for the Braves partnerships team tonight… Apple TV has the broadcast, and Star Wars Night at the ballpark. I wish I could muster even a little bit of a reference for you, dear readers of Battery Power, but this is one of my cultural blind spots. And at this point, I’m […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Braves: Let’s talk about it.
So, we ended up getting some interesting nuggets of news from the pregame press conference that Walt Weiss has before every home game. There’s one bit of concerning news, one bit of hopeful news and then something that seems obvious but it’s good to hear confirmed. Let’s start with the concerning news, shall we: Michael […]
After yesterday’s injury scare and early exit, all looked well and truly precautionary for Michael Harris II. He was slated to bat fifth and play center in the lineup released by the Braves earlier this afternoon. Unfortunately, Grant McAuley has reported that Michael Harris II has been scratched and is day-to-day with that left quad […]
Braves and Phillies again. Grant Holmes vs. Andrew Painter again. Not on BravesVision again. So here I am, reheating my own nachos. In the time we’ve been apart, the Braves took three out of four against the very pesky Nats to conclude a 6-1 road trip. The boys will return home to Cobb County with […]
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]
The situation for the Phillies has gotten beyond the level of ugliness. It’s so dire that I was actually encouraged by them getting to extra innings before losing on Thursday. On the other hand, the Phillies’ opponents this weekend have had just about everything go right this season. Is it possible that the Braves somehow […]
The Atlanta Braves minor league system has been dominated by the performances of the Rome Emperors lineup, who have that talented group of hitters that has made waves this week in Greensboro. Although they weren’t able to drag Rome to a win this time around Isaiah Drake, John Gil, and Eric Hartman all looked good […]
One week ago, I opened up the links by noting that the results of the Braves series would have a major impact on the mood of the fanbase. The same can be said today. Let us hope that this series will turn out better than the last. Onto the links. Phillies news Taijuan Walker’s time […]
