ATLANTA — Chris Sale’s story just keeps getting better. Two years after winning both the National League Cy Young and Comeback Player of the Year Awards, he is constructing what could be considered one of the best seasons ever put together by a Braves pitcher. Warren Spahn, Phil Niekro, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz all spent a...
The Cubs (83-67) took two of three from the Pirates this weekend to stabilize things after getting swept by the Brewers in Milwaukee. After an offensive explosion on Friday, they split a pair of one-run decisions. Chicago will try to improve their position in the standings when a very good Braves team comes to Wrigley … The post Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves – Series Preview (September 14-16): Overview, Game and Broadcast Info, Starting Pitchers, W2W4 appeared first on .
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. Lopez was coming off a knee injury, and some rust was to be expected from someone who missed around six […] The post Braves to give Reynaldo Lopez another chance vs. Cubs after disastrous return start appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Phillies avoided the sweep with a 9-4 win on Sunday, but their chance at the NL East crown diminished after a pair of losses on Friday and Saturday. Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher share their thoughts after a disappointing series against the Braves this weekend. #Phillies 0:00 – Phillies avoid sweep with win on Sunday 4:23 – Main takeaways from the entire series 7:45 – Luzardo’s injury 11:51 – Bryce’s slow home run trot 15:30 – Concern level for the bullpen? 21:15 – Can the offense carry ...
Well that was certainly fun, wasn’t it? Series finale notwithstanding, the Atlanta Braves did exactly what they needed to do against the Philadelphia Phillies in order to essentially close the door 99 percent of the way on the NL East. This was a massive series where the Phillies honestly needed nothing less than a sweep […]
On the latest episode of Phillies Stoplight🚦, Tim Kelly breaks down the series in Atlanta, while giving the newest information […]
I almost wish I was a football enjoyer so I could have had something else on during this afternoon’s Braves-Phillies series finale. But alas, baseball is my one and only, and today’s contest was engineered in a lab to be Extremely Frustrating. A sweep would have been lovely for Atlanta and their chances at the NL East crown. And for much of the game, they were kept right in it by great defense. But as we saw last night, one big inning can put the game to bed. This time it wasn’t in our favor. ...
The Philadelphia Phillies' series loss to the Atlanta Braves puts them in a precarious position with the MLB Postseason right around the corner.

It’s not quite true that all’s well that ends well, given that the good ending to this series in no way erases the fact that the Phillies lost said series. But it is true that batting around against a hated rival is really, really fun. Trea Turner got the Phillies’ first hit on a little […]
The Phillies had a big eighth inning on Sunday that powered their win over the Braves.
Tyler Mahle has proved that he’s far more than a consolation prize after the Atlanta Braves’ Jacob deGrom trade didn’t go through.

After playing some awful baseball in the first two games, the Phillies will attempt to salvage the finale of their series in Atlanta. Andrew Painter will start for the Phillies. The rookie will attempt to improve on his two starts against the Braves earlier in the season when he gave up eight runs in 9.2 […]
It’s getaway day for the Atlanta Braves, but not before one last regular season contest against the Philadelphia Phillies. With the series secure, the Braves have the opportunity to make it a truly nightmarish weekend for our NL East foes and break out the brooms this afternoon. There are some changes to the lineup for […]

Saturday saw two strong outings by the starting pitchers in the Atlanta Braves organization. Both Cedric De Grandpre and Luke Sinnard threw excellent outings, though both came up short as the offense wasn’t able to support either. Combined Sinnard and Cedric struck out 15 in nine and a third innings of work. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp […]
A similar hand of fate that has inexplicably granted Battery Power’s Ivan near-exclusivity on Martín Pérez starts has linked me with Grant Holmes and Andrew Painter, who will face off for the third time this season (and the second time with the opportunity for the Braves to sweep the Phillies). As the season draws to a close, it’s almost sad to see them go with the 9-3 season series record Atlanta currently holds (with a big emphasis on almost). I’m sure the Phils have been itching to book it ...
