Latest news and updates about the Braves
(22-13) Gwinnett Stripers 8, (13-21) Norfolk Tide 6 Box Score With 40% of the Stripers starting pitching currently in Atlanta, the Stripers had another bullpen game and picked up another win in what has been a great start to the season for the Braves Triple-A affiliate. They turned to Anthony Molina who had his struggles, […]
Well, they got the series loss out of the way. Not surprisingly, it came in a series where the games weren’t really managed with urgency on the pitching side. Now, the season standings are what they are, so I can get soft-pedaling things, though it’s not actually any more enjoyable to watch in the moment […]
Well the Braves finally lost a series, losing a 3-game series to the Mariners in Seattle, with a one-run loss and a two-run loss. It is pretty impressive that this far in the season, it took a lot to go wrong for them to lose a series by two small-margin losses like this. On Monday, […]
Media mogul, philanthropist and former Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner passed away earlier today at the age of 87. The bombastic businessman and cultural icon reshaped the media landscape in the latter half of the 20th century after taking over his father’s company, Turner Outdoor Advertising, in 1963. A rebellious and ambitious entrepreneur, Turner began […]
All good things must come to an end. This finally applies to the Braves’ series winning streak to start the 2026 season, which came to an end Wednesday in Seattle. After blowing a lead in Monday’s loss and winning Tuesday on Matt Olson’s ninth-inning homer, Atlanta’s bats fell flat in a 3-1 loss in the […]
Mariners 3 Braves 1 Seeing José Ferrer once every three business days: Bryan Woo, .35 WPA José Ferrer every day: Cal Raleigh, -.11 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
The Atlanta Braves will look to improve to 6-0 in rubber matches and stay unbeaten in series with Wednesday afternoon’s 4:10 p.m. EDT series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Martín Pérez will be tasked with making another start after he wasn’t used in the bullpen Tuesday night. Jim Jarvis, called up this morning, will make […]
After he was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett Wednesday morning, Jim Jarvis will immediately be making his major league debut for the Braves in Wednesday’s series finale in Seattle. Jarvis, acquired from the Detroit Tigers just before last year’s trade deadline, will hit ninth and play shortstop. He’s gotten off to a hot start in […]
The Dodgers haven’t had a good road trip since the first week of April. But after their malaise through St. Louis and Houston, the Dodgers will return home to Los Angeles with a tall task at hand — facing the Atlanta Braves, owners of the best record in baseball, at 26-11 through Tuesday. Emmet Sheehan […]
(21-13) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (13-21) Norfolk Tide 3 Box Score Other than running into some trouble in the sixth inning, it was a really strong pitching performance by Elieser Hernández who mixed his pitches pretty well, but was especially strong with his four-seam that he utilized over 50% of the time. Because he was able […]
When Spencer Strider was nearing his return to the major league roster which he made on Sunday, Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that Martín Pérez was going to be moving to the bullpen. He was never used in that capacity, however, and will now instead be starting again for Atlanta’s Wednesday afternoon series finale […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners dropped another one-run contest yesterday, falling to the Braves by a 3-2 final. Andrés Muñoz took another tough loss last night, and it’s been an uncharacteristically rocky start for the closer. What is your level of concern for him right now? In Mariners news… Around the league…
The Braves are doing something with their bevy of long relievers and pseudo-starters, but what that something is, is unclear to me. Is it clear to you? Grant Holmes was today’s scheduled starter. Martin Perez was “in the bullpen” but hasn’t made an appearance since his start eight days ago. Perez has a 54/111/108 line […]
The Atlanta Braves reinstated right-hander Raisel Iglesias from the injured list on Tuesday, ahead of the late-night matchup with the Seattle Mariners. The club also designated fellow righty Carlos Carrasco for assignment, and lastly, provided updates on the rehabilitation of Dylan Dodd and Ha-Seong Kim. Iglesias has been lights-out for the Braves so far this […]
George Kirby kept the Braves on the ground for seven innings, but the Mariners struck out 16 times while watching an early lead slip away. Andrés Muñoz allowed the go-ahead homer to Matt Olson in the ninth inning Tuesday, giving the Braves a 3-2 win. The Mariners had gotten out to an early lead on […]
A night after letting another win slip through their fingers, the Atlanta Braves battled back to even the series in Seattle against the Mariners with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday. In the top of the ninth, Matt Olson launched a solo homer off Mariners closer Andrés Munoz to give the Braves a 3-2 lead. Olson […]
Don’t lose the series, Braves! Also, Michael Harris II in left field!
Atlanta Braves rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie came up from Triple-A Gwinnett in the International League back in April, and the hope for him was that he had left that league behind for good. Today the IL came for him – but in a positive way, as Ritchie was named the league’s Pitcher of the […]
The Braves have been good so far, but they’re also keeping it interesting as they navigate injuries and the inexorable grind of the season. Tonight’s bit of intrigue: Michael Harris II is back, but… he’s in left field! I guess that gives his ailing quad muscle a bit of a break relative to center field, […]
So, it’s come down to this. With the 2026 Braves’ haven’t-lost-a-series-yet streak on the line, it’s up to Bryce Elder and his teammates to win tonight, and then hopefully win tomorrow as well to keep it rolling. Elder started off the season in exciting fashion, with three stellar starts and one hiccup. Since then, there […]
Catcher Jonah Heim, who signed with the Atlanta Braves this offseason after being non-tendered by the Texas Rangers, was traded to the Athletics yesterday for cash considerations. Heim went to camp with the Braves on a minor league deal, but with veteran Sean Murphy starting the year on the injured list, Heim was on the […]
Happy Tuesday! In an exciting and much-needed win, the Mariners scored five runs in the sixth inning last night to secure a 5-4 win at home. Home runs from Luke Raley and J.P. Crawford powered starter Logan Gilbert to his second win of the season in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. George Kirby […]
A combination of day games and morning news gave me a brief, impromptu break, but I’m back. Before this season started, I thought the Braves might need to operate more like their 2019-2021 lot in life (nothing is guaranteed) than their 2022-2025, “Our roster is good enough to do whatever” framework. The Braves have done […]
Monday was a rare time where the Braves made some costly mistakes that lead to a 5-4 loss to Seattle despite the Braves being up 4-0 at one point. Atlanta had some bad early luck despite plenty of loud contact, but finally connected for 4 solo home runs to seem firmly in control of the […]
Every Star Wars Day (May the Fourth, in case this particular branding hasn’t been pounded into your skull) produces the same opportunity to lay the story of the baseball game over the Star Wars leitmotif. Last year we had an uninspiring 8-1 loss to the Rangers where Zach purposefully trolled by mixing up Stars War […]
