Which pending free agent(s) will the Braves bring back?
With the season over, rosterbation is the only recourse as far as Braves baseball is concerned. Of course, the pending lockout will put a damper on offseason proceedings for a while, but leaving that aside… which pending free agent(s) do you think the Braves will bring back? Let’s start with Ha-Seong Kim. He was super-bad. […]
Braves News: 2026 season reactions, offseason improvements, and more
The Atlanta Braves are heading into an important offseason after another NL East title ended with a disappointing postseason exit. While the team put together a 94 win season, there is still work to be done if Atlanta hopes to make a deeper playoff run in 2027. With plenty to evaluate from the past season, […]
Postseason / ALDS Game 4 chat and discussion, October 8
Good evening, y’all. At this time yesterday, I had posted something along the lines of “can we borrow some runs @/guardians”, because our game was deadlocked and Cleveland was well on their way to the 9-3 final score against the Chicago White Sox to stave off their elimination. Must be fun to score a lot. […]
So, where do the Atlanta Braves go from here following another Postseason exit?
It’s The Day After and now that we’ve all had some time to really take things into perspective, the obvious thing to do in times like this is to look forward. The good news is that following their exit in the NLDS at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers, it’s pretty clear where the […]
Season’s done — are you satisfied, gratified, both, or neither?
The Braves’ season came to end on Wednesday night. It’s hard to tie a nice bow on the narrative arc with the loss: Tyler Mahle was good, the bullpen was not, and the Braves were neither done in by one of their particular strengths nor a specific, exceptional weakness. The offense started out very well […]
Braves News: Season over, Tyler Mahle, Offseason, more
Well the Braves’ season is over, despite Tyler Mahle’s and Michael Harris’ best efforts. Now we move into the offseason that holds ample uncertainty for the sport and for the team. A lockout is essentially inevitable at this point and the owners seem geared up to instigate the most contentious set of CBA negotiations in […]
Braves fail to find magic touch as Postseason run ends in scuffling fashion for bats
Before this season started (and even before the Postseason started) the big question concerning this 2026 Atlanta Braves team was whether or not they would have enough pitching (particularly in the rotation) in order to find a way to be successful. 94 wins, an NL East title, a Wild Card Series win and a Divisional […]
Braves end 2026 campaign at home with NLDS exit
A strong bullpen and stellar defense have been calling cards for the Atlanta Braves all year. But slip ups on both fronts, combined with the consistently-inconsistent offense, doomed the Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS. By a final score of 4-1, the Los Angeles Dodgers eliminated the Braves at home and will advance to […]
Braves vs. Dodgers NLDS Game 4 Chat and Discussion: Tyler Mahle vs. Tyler Glasnow
This Tyler-squared matchup would be more fun if it weren’t elimination-flavored, no? One game at a time. Win tonight. Game Notes Pitching preview Lineups
Braves maintain calm and focus as they attempt to mount comeback in NLDS
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss has maintained all season that his ballclub is at its best whenever their backs are against the wall. They will well and truly be up against it tonight (and again on Friday if they win Game 4) as the specter of elimination looms with the next Braves loss. Atlanta’s going […]
Michael Harris II leads off, Drake Baldwin drops to fifth as Braves try to equalize NLDS
With a win tonight, the Braves can head to Los Angeles all tied up. Walt Weiss is hoping another new batting order will provide the offensive spark to wake up an offense that needs to win to reach Game 5. Center fielder Michael Harris II will lead off for Atlanta, followed by Ronald Acuña Jr., […]
Braves aiming to force NLDS Game 5 with Tyler Mahle on the mound
The Atlanta Braves took the field in the home Friday reds on a Tuesday, hoping to take a 2-1 lead in the NLDS in front of a sold-out crowd. Instead, in a rematch of an August marquee pitching matchup, they were stifled by Yoshinobu Yamamoto and couldn’t overcome three runs on a pair of home […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Owen Carey Singles in Win
(1-3) Glendale Desert Dogs 4, (1-2) Mesa Solar Sox 3 Box Score Statcast It was a busy day for all of the Braves relievers that were sent to Arizona. Braves arms were responsible for 5 2/3 of Glendale’s ten innings with four pitchers making appearances, and the results for the crew were mixed. With a […]
Who’s gonna save the Braves from elimination? / Who’s gonna get the Braves eliminated?
Two questions for the (zero) price of one. Backs against the wall, the Braves can only end tonight in one of two ways (I guess there could be a freak rain delay?): force a winner-take all Game 5, or bow out of their 2026 campaign. That they’re in this place isn’t surprising given that they […]
Braves News: Chris Sale struggles, Ronald Acuña Jr. update, and more
The Atlanta Braves had an unfortunate Tuesday and fell behind in Game 3 of the NLDS after a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chris Sale got the start, and though he recorded seven strikeouts, he did not have his sharpest stuff. In the fourth inning, he surrendered two home runs that put the […]
Atlanta’s star hitters must perform like stars with elimination looming
Welp, that wasn’t ideal! The home field advantage that the Atlanta Braves snatched away from the Los Angeles Dodgers has slipped right out of Atlanta’s fingers thanks to a brilliant Yoshinobu Yamamoto and more power hitting from the Dodgers. They still haven’t scored with anything but homers and unfortunately Chris Sale was the latest victim […]
Sale struggles and bats cold as Braves fall to Dodgers
The Atlanta Braves took on the Dodgers tonight in a pivotal game that would give them the 2-1 lead in the NLDS. Chris Sale took on Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The last time these two faced of Sale pitched a complete game shutout and the Braves won 1-0. The first inning looked great for Sale. He gave […]
Braves vs Dodgers NLDS chat and discussion: Chris Sale vs Yoshinobu Yamamoto
In a game that could have a massive shift in momentum in either direction for both teams, the Atlanta Braves bring future HOFer Chris Sale to the mound amidst one of the best seasons of his career against Yoshinobu Yamamoto during the best season of his young career. The last time these two pitchers faced […]
Braves, Weiss look forward to marquee matchup of Chris Sale against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Dodgers
The venue has changed and the intensity has gone up another notch as well, as the Atlanta Braves suddenly find themselves back at home and with home field advantage against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It’s a massive opportunity for the Braves — even though the task remains difficult against the two-time defending World Series Champions […]
UPDATE: Ronald Acuña Jr. moves to DH with sore knee, Lane Thomas enters lineup, Sean Murphy on bench
Note: The following is from a lineup that is now out of date. More information on the updated lineup can be found below. The Atlanta Braves have a chance to take a series lead in the NLDS against the Dodgers at home these evening behind Chris Sale. The pitching is what has been given a […]
The Braves and Chris Sale look for NLDS series lead over Dodgers
The Atlanta Braves have survived back-to-back starts from former Cy Young award winners to travel home with a 1-1 tie in the NLDS. This evening, they will be deploying their own former Cy Young award winner in Chris Sale in hopes of taking a series lead against the Dodgers and put them one step closer […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Isaiah Drake Records Hit in AFL
Yesterday saw another Atlanta Braves prospect show up in the Arizona Fall League, as Isaiah Drake got the start in left field for the Glendale Desert Dogs. Surprise Saguaros 8, Glendale Desert Dogs 7 Isaiah Drake, LF: 1-4, SB Boxscore Isaiah Drake had four at bats in this game, which ended with a walkoff in […]
How many innings will Chris Sale throw in Game 3?
The drama is at least partly behind us. The Braves feel like they’re getting Full Strength Chris Sale for Game 3. So, what does that mean? Or, more specifically, what does that mean in light of a game after an off day, but also after the Braves went Johnny Much-of-the-Staff in Games 1 and 2 […]
Braves News: Chris Sale Takes Mound in Game 3, Matt Olson Hank Aaron Award Finalist, More
After plenty of discussion before Game 2, there is no doubt who will be on the mound for the Braves in Game 3 of the NLDs. The Braves plan worked as the series is now split 1-1, and they now have their two best starters fully rested to try and close out the series in […]
Atlanta Braves NLDS Game 3 eve chat and discussion, October 5
Happy Monday, all. How are we faring after last night’s split? The National League Division Series has had its fair share of drama. While we were hand-wringing about Chris Sale and the prospect of a bullpen game (where we need not have worried, because Ray Kerr is a hero?), Brewers/Padres has been unreal. A potential […]
