After the Phillies dismissed the Braves in the 2023 NLDS, I wrote a “fond” farewell to the Braves and their fans, in which I pointed out how soft the fans are and lamented that General Sherman didn’t do a good enough job in destroying the city. Little has changed since then. We didn’t hear quite […]
Last weekend, Ronald Acuña staked his claim for the prized role of Public Enemy Number One in Philadelphia. In a pivotal four-game series between Acuña’s Atlanta Braves and the Phillies, and with control of the National League East hanging in the balance, the Braves’ star outfielder stole the show.

Following Thursday’s win for the Atlanta Braves over the Tampa Bay Rays, Walt Weiss told the media in the postgame press conference that Lane Thomas would be heading to the IL. This was after he was a late scratch for the matinee day affair and it turned out that the ailment was serious enough that he’d have to go on the shelf for a bit.

Today is a big day for me. Well, not for me but in my orbit. It’s the first time in seven and a half years that both of my spawn are at some semblance of school. It means that I can sit and write this post without someone trying to crawl over me. It’s a feeling akin to not knowing what to do with your hands when someone is taking a photo of you, but more relaxing. Anyway… Today is also a big day for the Braves. Kinda. After splitting four games in Philadelphia last weekend such that a four-gam...

Manager Walt Weiss called it an intercostal strain and noted that Thomas could be out for the remainder of the season.

The Rays have to figure it out against left-handed pitching or with the bases loaded, ideally both, or it will be another quick exit in October. With how well Tampa Bay right-hander Nick Martinez threw today, going 6.1 IP and only allowing two hits and no runs, the offense appeared to have had too much […]
This time last week, the Phillies were preparing to face the Braves, with huge divisional stakes But now…they’re preparing to face the Braves, with huge divisional stakes. The more things change, the more they stay the same. But we hope they’ll change at least a little, standings-wise. Phillies news NBC Sports Philadelphia puts together their […]
Spencer Strider's standing with the Atlanta Braves isn't what it used to be. The organization's willingness to move him at this year's trade deadline made that clear. Per multiple reports, Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos asked the Texas Rangers about right-hander Jacob deGrom multiple times in the weeks leading up to the deadline, in a deal that would have essentially been a swap of two large contracts, with Strider going the other way. The Rangers never sh...

Atlanta Braves News Lane Thomas will be placed on Injured List Today is oblique day, apparently by ABsinceWayBack Sep 10, 2026, 8:44 PM UTC Facebook Link Lane Thomas was a late scratch in the Braves lineup today. We have heard why from Walt Weiss. I’m not a doctor, but as I understand it an intercostal strain is slightly different from an oblique strain. An intercostal strain affects the muscles under the ribs. An oblique strain affects the sides of the abdomen. In any case, it’s an Injured Li...
It really just feels like each series the Atlanta Braves have been in lately has been like them leaving a snake pit for a lion’s den only to realize that they’ve stepped into a piranha’s pond and escaped that just to find out that the dry land was quicksand. “I don’t know how much more […]
