Latest news and updates about the Braves
The Atlanta Braves look to continue as the only team in MLB to not lose a series after going 10-3 after thirteen straight games in their own division. The Tigers have been good in their own right being in first place in their division while sporting one of the best top three rotation arms in […]
Hoo boy, we got an absolute litany of updates from Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss during his usual pre-game press conference. It was as if the skipper just decided to take this opportunity to clear the air about the handful of Braves players who are in various stages of working their way back onto the […]
The Atlanta Braves and their league leading offense are facing the Detroit Tigers having just won twenty games before the month of May for the first time in franchise history. The Braves lead MLB with 5.72 runs scored per game. To put that in perspective, if they continue to score this many runs per game […]
Did we want Didier Fuentes back in Atlanta? I wanted him back and taking a rotation spot. Of course, the whole “must stay down after being optioned unless recalled due to injury” rule put a minor spanner in that particular set of works… until the Braves apparently found a way around it through the miracle […]
The Tigers are somewhat intimidating, I’ll admit. They come into this series sixth in wRC+, but second (above the Braves) in xwOBA. Their rotation is fourth in fWAR, and the Braves will not see their one starter that’s been bad so far (Jack Flaherty). Those two things suggest something considerably weighty for the Braves to […]
Monday was likely a welcome off-day for the Atlanta Braves, a rare off day in the middle of a home stand for the team to catch its breath and reset. Fortunately, a resetting is not due to a lack of quality play as the Braves have the best record in baseball. However, the quality of […]
The Detroit Tigers wrap up their nine-game interleague schedule this week by heading south to face the Atlanta Braves starting on Tuesday night. After taking two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers at home before dropping two of three at the Cincinnati Reds, the Motor City Kitties move on to face the top team […]
Good evening, folks! There’s no game tonight as the Braves are getting a rare off day in the middle of a homestand. There’s still some stuff to talk about and this is your chance to chat about anything you want (that makes sense for a baseball blog site, haha). What I’m watching tonight Game of […]
Baseball life is good for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. They’ve already put a gap between them and the rest of the division and the gap keeps growing between them and the Phillies and the Mets as well. The vibes are very positive and the week ahead for the Braves could be a promising […]
For the past couple of weeks, both Sean Murphy and Spencer Strider have been busy on the farm getting in work via rehab assignments. While Strider may be closer to returning than Murphy is, one thing we know now is that they’ll be joined by a third Braves big leaguer who is working his way […]
(13-14) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 10, (17-10) Gwinnett Stripers 5 Box Score Spencer Strider made his second rehab start with the Stripers and continued to look like the Spencer of 2023. Strider allowed two earned runs over five innings of work with seven strikeouts. While the velocity dropped a bit towards the end of his outing, […]
The Braves once again took care of business on Sunday, beating the Phillies and winning yet another series as their great start to the season rolls along. The amount of positive data points from the past few weeks is highly encouraging to see, including the Braves going 10-3 against NL East opponents over the past […]
A couple of weeks ago, the Atlanta Braves embarked on a 13-game run of games that were solely in the NL East. Initially, it seemed like a tough task considering that they’d be seeing the Philadelphia Phillies twice during that run. At the same time, the Braves had gotten off to an encouraging start to […]
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced after today’s 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies that rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie will get his second major league start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Weiss also confirm that former right-handed starter Reynaldo López is heading to the bullpen to work out some mechanical issues that are […]
The Phillies snapped their ten-game losing streak on Saturday night by actually getting some late, clutch hits and prevailing in extra innings. The Braves: “I took that personally” On Sunday, the Braves reverted to their winning ways, while the Phillies were back on their B.S. Aaron Nola was rocked, the hitters looked feeble against Chris […]
Last week was a sweep for the Braves, today could lead to another series win… if the Phillies don’t carry over from yesterday and find a way to break their streak. The Braves will have to get runs on the board as early as possible, while the Phillies will have to endure in the latter […]
After actually winning a game on Saturday night, the Phillies will try to repeat the feat on Sunday afternoon in the finale of their series against the Braves. Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season. He’ll be opposed by Braves ace Chris Sale, […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their successful series record, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, after last week’s embarrassing sweep against them on their home turf, they’re looking to repay the favor and snap that extension. Let’s look at these rosters. The lineup for the Braves looks pretty identical to yesterday’s with a familiar […]
Saturday’s biggest story in the Atlanta Braves farm system had to be the weather. Not only were half of the games rained out, but the best performance of the day was cut short by a rain delay. Brett Sears got pulled a bit early because of that rain delay, but he was pitching a one-hit […]
The rain ahead of Saturday’s contest between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies may have forced Brian Snitker’s Braves Hall of Fame induction ceremony indoors but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of anybody who was in the house for Snit’s big day. That included Braves Hall-of-Famers Tim Hudson and Terry Pendleton, who were […]
You win some, you lose some. However, the Atlanta Braves have yet to lose a series this season and are the only MLB team to achieve this feat. Although they can’t repeat getting a sweep against the Philadelphia Phillies, they have an opportunity to bounce back from yesterday’s rainy day loss. Chris Sale, boasting a […]
Well, that was annoying. The Phillies were who the Braves thought they were, and they let them off the hook. The Braves took a game to extras and lost, but it required: When you step away from it, you are encouraged and appalled. The good news is that this stretch resembles their 26-4 run in […]
Braves News Brian Snitker was inducted to the Braves Hall of Fame on Saturday. The Braves lost what essentially turned into a coin flip of a game to the Phillies and will now go for a series win behind Chris Sale today. MLB News The Red Sox fired most of their coaching staff after a […]
The streak is over. The streak is over. The Phillies actually won a baseball game. For one night, it was the opposing team making mistakes. And for one night, it was the Phillies who capitalized on them. After a Harper walk with two outs, Mike Yastrzemski tried to lay out on an Adolis Garcia line […]
