What were the Braves thinking?

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty flabbergasted by the poor organizational decision-making the Braves showed yesterday evening. I know having a big lead in the division gives you some ability to let it ride, at least until that lead shrinks, but… this was kind of insane, from my perspective. First, it was an […]

Drake Baldwin returns to the lineup as Braves face Giants

There is no way to sugarcoat it, the Atlanta Braves have struggled offensively this month. In fact, only three teams have scored fewer runs since the start of June.

Sean Murphy Trade New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves Should Consider

The Atlanta Braves have been without the services of backup catcher Sean Murphy for about a month now, as he recovers from a broken finger.

Braves Biweekly: A June swoon so far

(Note: Stats here through June 14, which only matters for comparing the Braves to other teams. In an ideal world, I’d either do this on the 16th, or during the day on the 14th, but we live in something very far from an ideal world.) Past summaries: I have a colleague that uses the word […]
