Well, there’s not much to say about this lineup. David Peterson throws with his left hand. The Braves don’t have Lane Thomas on hand anymore, so it’s basically your standard lineup with Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim bringing up the rear. This is the same lineup the Braves used in what ended up being that […]
The Braves have been among the best teams in baseball since the start of the season, even if they’re likely to finish with the third-best record in the National League. However, when it comes to playoff darlings, the people inside the business are not liking Atlanta’s chances come October. ESPN recently polled 16 executives and […]
A major shareholder of Atlanta Braves Holdings is publicly pushing the team’s board to explore a sale, arguing the current sports market presents a rare opportunity ownership shouldn’t let pass by. Businesswire.com reported this news and published a letter to the Braves from Breach Inlet Capital Management. Breach Inlet, which has held its stake in […]
Well, ten games into the Braves’ 16-contest headlong stroke through a sea of contenders, so far so good. Though the Braves have only gone 5-5 in those ten games, that’s included four wins (and three loses) against the Phillies, solidifying Atlanta’s chances of taking home a division title for the first time since 2023. On […]
The Cubs lost two of three to the Braves in Atlanta back in May, scoring only five runs in the series. That was so long ago that Pete Crow-Armstrong batted ninth, eighth and ninth in the three games and Moisés Ballesteros was the starting catcher in the series opener. Since that series ended the Cubs […]
The noise surrounding the Braves’ trade deadline has taken a significant turn for the better because of how the new faces have actually performed. Most notably Tyler Mahle, who Jeff Francoeur called the best pitcher to move midseason — ahead of Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, and Kevin Gausman. Sorry, Tarik Skubal, Kevin Gausman and Casey […]
The Atlanta Braves have made an adjustment, bringing in a new face and designating a player for assignment.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has terrorized the Philadelphia Phillies, and that's bad news ahead of a potential postseason meeting.
Due to injuries and inconsistencies, the Atlanta Braves’ rotation has been a revolving door all season, and it’s not stopping with two weeks remaining. AJ Smith-Shawver was seen in the bullpen over the weekend as Atlanta squared off with Philadelphia. Given the struggles he’s had as a starter since returning from Tommy John surgery, this […]
A 3-4 week for the Phillies isn’t horrible considering the competition they had, but the general tenor that is surrounding the team right now isn’t that great. They should have done more against both the Astros and Braves, yet several blown games really has left a sour taste. Three up J.T. Realmuto – Yes, the […]
Ahead of their series with the Cubs, the Braves made a notable roster move. Owen Murphy is back with the major-league club. In a corresponding move, Bailey Falter has been designated for assignment.

This one is basically for the folks who were paying attention to the Probable Pitchers page over on the Atlanta Braves’ official website. It still lists Wednesday’s starter for the game as “TBD” but that picture may becoming a little more determined with this latest move that the Braves have made. Bailey Falter has been […]

The Braves re-signed right-hander Elieser Hernández to a minor league contract, per their transaction log at MLB.com. It was the obvious outcome for Hernández, who has stepped into the same revolving-door role with Atlanta previously held by fellow veterans Carlos Carrasco and Jesse Chavez. Hernández, 31, has now signed four minor league contracts with the […]
Hat tip to AG88 for pointing this out. Right now, there’s a four-way race for top batting line on the Braves: Matt Olson leads in wRC+ with 124. He has a .354 wOBA and a .355 xwOBA. However, he’s really struggled in September, yesterday’s homer aside, and you have to go back to the start of August for him to have a then-on xwOBA of .350. Next is Drake Baldwin, with a 121 wRC+ and an xwOBA underperformance (.351 wOBA, .362 xwOBA). Baldwin has also struggled a bit in September, and has honestly ...
Hat tip to AG88 for pointing this out. Right now, there’s a four-way race for top batting line on the Braves: Acuña’s recent relative performance uptick suggests it could be him. But, it’s not his to lose right now. It really might come to the wire for this quartet. What do you think?
Though the Braves did take care of business over the weekend, the Braves were unable to earn the sweep as the Phillies won Sunday’s game. But while this one game was disappointing, the Braves have to be pleased with the spot they are in to earn another NL East division title. They are now up […]
The Atlanta Braves recently got Reynaldo Lopez back from injury and thrust him straight into the action as a starting pitcher back on the ninth of September in a contest against the Tampa Bay Rays.
