The Atlanta Braves won the NL East and took nine of 13 games from the Philadelphia Phillies. Neither accomplishment guarantees another victory when their best-of-three NL Wild Card Series begins Tuesday at Truist Park. The Phillies eliminated the Braves in the 2022 and 2023 Division Series. This time, the Braves have home-field advantage and Chris […] The post This overlooked player will make or break Braves’ chances vs. Phillies in NL Wild Card round appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Braves suffered a number of critical injuries down the stretch — two to the rotation and one to the outfield. Bryce Elder hit the Injured List at the beginning of the month with a knee injury — one that required a minor surgery. He was out on the field today at Truist Park throwing […]
It was the day before Postseason and all through the house, there were bats cracking all around as the Atlanta Braves officially got their pre-Wild Card Series workout underway for what they hope is a long, deep run into the Postseason. There was plenty of activity from the Braves from outside of the actual workout. […]
ATLANTA — The Phillies will be without their biggest trade-deadline acquisition for the National League Wild Card Series in Atlanta. Second baseman Luis Arraez will not make the roster for the club’s upcoming best-of-three playoff set against the Braves, interim manager Don Mattingly announced Monday at Truist Park. The three-time batting champion sprained his left […]
Phillies manager Don Mattingly made a couple of noteworthy announcements at Monday’s press conference. All-Star starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo will get the ball for Game 1. However, the amount he’ll pitch remains to be seen, given he hasn’t made a start since tossing a complete-game shutout against the Braves on September 7th. He did make […]
The Phillies made the postseason but they will try to fend off Atlanta in the Wild Card round without a key bat. Manager Don Mattingly has informed reporters, including Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, that infielder Luis Arraez will not be on the roster. Fellow infielder Otto Kemp will be taking his place. Arraez departed Thursday’s […]
There were some questions about who might start Game 1 for the Phillies, but those have been answered in a big way. It will be All-Star Jesus Luzardo, manager Don Mattingly told reporters on Monday. Jesus Luzardo will start, “or I should say open,” for the Phillies tomorrow, Don Mattingly said. — Luke Arcaini (@ArcainiLuke) […]
In a three-game series between any two teams in Major League Baseball, pretty much anything can happen. The Rockies can get the best of the Dodgers on the right weekend. Now pit two of MLB’s best against each other that also happen to be heated rivals, and things could really go either way. The Phillies […]
With the regular season coming to a close, we’re already getting our first glimpse of what awaits on the horizon of awards season. The All-MLB Team is starting to gain some footing and now, the nominees for the 2026 All-MLB Team have been announced. As such, the Braves are going to have plenty of opportunities […]
The Phillies have three games in which to either wipe out fans' memories of September or imprint them forever.
Past summaries: In September’s latter half, the Braves did a big thing: they clinched their first NL East title in three seasons (but seventh in nine seasons under the current Front Office). They did so with a sweep of the Astros in Houston, while dropping every other series they played. Of course, that sounds more […]
Many people around the baseball world have pegged the Atlanta Braves as playoff chokers. This is an organization that’s won 23 division titles dating back to 1991. They’ve reached the postseason 25 times over that stretch, and yet they’ve only held up the Commissioner’s Trophy two times. It’s far from an embarrassing résumé, but given […]
That time of year has finally arrived. The days are getting cooler, the leaves are starting to fall, pumpkins are appearing on front porches, and playoff baseball is about to begin. And this year, the National League East will take center stage as the Philadelphia Phillies travel to Atlanta to take on the Braves in […] The post Phillies vs. Braves: Wild Card Series Preview appeared first on Just Baseball .
Two NL East rivals meet in the postseason with the Dodgers waiting. Here is everything you need to know about the Phillies and Braves ahead of their best-of-three.
Well, it looks like we’re doing this again. For the third time in five seasons, the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies will be facing off in the Postseason. You don’t need me to tell you how the past two series went but if you’re dwelling on that, I’d advise you not to. Both managers have […]
The Braves won the NL East by 6.0 games, clinching it with a week left to play over the Phillies. And their reward? A three-game series with all the chips down against their rivals from Philadelphia — the team responsible for the Braves’ early postseason exits in 2022 and 2023. There’s no question the Phillies […]
There’s a lot going on this week with the Eagles on Monday Night Football, the Sixers hosting Media Day, and the Phillies playing the Braves at 2 p.m. because the MLB schedule makes are idiots. But the Union deserve a blog post because they beat the brakes off Orlando City on Saturday night, extending their […] The post Even With Five Starters Missing, the Union Clobbered Another Opponent and Set a Franchise Record appeared first on Crossing Broad .
As the Atlanta Braves make preparations for postseason baseball, constructing the optimal roster will be an important task in the days ahead. While the pitching staff is likely to garner the most attention, filling out the position players with useful reserves will give manager Walt Weiss more buttons to push in late and close situations. […]
The Atlanta Braves clinched the NL East with one week to spare in the regular season. On the surface, this was not that noteworthy. Atlanta has won seven of the last 10 division titles and has been among the league’s best teams during that span. However, this year was different. After an injury-plagued 2025 season […] The post The ‘Most Impactful Trade Deadline Acquisition’ Award Goes to Tyler Mahle appeared first on Just Baseball .
We find ourselves at the end of the season so what better way to celebrate one of the best seasons in recent prospect history than to do our final re-ranking of the Top 30 for the year. While the biggest story was the progression of several positional prospects the Braves also added a significant amount […]
The Phillies and the Braves appear to be postseason-linked in the same way that Martin Perez and I are — perhaps not inextricably, but… annoyingly? Yeah, that’s the right adverb. On the plus side for the Braves, the Phillies are neither particularly good, nor did they really get a chance to set things up for […]
Tommy Hutton called his last game for the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The longtime color analyst for Marlins baseball announced that he would be hanging up his headphones at the conclusion of the 2026 campaign before the start of the season. Game 162 was on Sunday, with the Marlins hosting the Atlanta Braves. To celebrate…
The 2026 season is over and the next step for the Braves could not be more familiar and perhaps appropriate. The Braves will host their division rival, the Phillies, for a best of three Wild Card round setup at Truist Park this week. Both Tuesday and Wednesday games will occur at just after 2PM Eastern, […]
Now we can breathe a sigh of relief. Taking a much needed win to make the playoffs, the Phillies are waking up today in Atlanta to prepare for the wild card round against the Braves. It should at least be entertaining. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
