I’m not sure why Ronald Acuña Jr. felt he had to activate beast mode to basically single-handedly destroy Nicaragua, who already had the most heartbreaking story of the tournament, but he did. The victory had Venezuela join four other teams as still undefeated in the tournament, and sets up an exciting Venezuela-D.R. matchup to determine the […]
It was another day of both positive and negative news for the Braves (which is now the norm.) On one hand, the Braves bats continued to look good in a win over the Twins while Ronald Acuna Jr. dominated for Venezuela in the WBC. However, the Braves once again received “worse case scenario” news in […]
The star outfielder for the Atlanta Braves continued to do his home country proud in the World Baseball Classic. Ronald Acuña Jr. delivered another good performance for Venezuela as his performance essentially pushed them over the top in a win that primes them for a massive clash against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday. As usual, […]
Spring Training tends to be silly, and that was perhaps best exemplified by Monday afternoon’s game against the Twins. The Braves won 9-8, but gave up a whopping five homers. I guess a 12/0 K/BB ratio is the saving grace when you give up five homers, but considering the Braves didn’t hit any homers, it […]
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Joey Wentz will miss the 2026 season with a torn ACL, according to MLB.com’s Mark Bowman and the AJC’s Chad Bishop. Wentz was injured in a Spring Training game on Sunday, March 8, 2026 when covering first base. Wentz joins fellow starting pitchers Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep in missing at […]
As the WBC rages on, the Grapefruit League plods along as well. Today, the Braves will give Carlos Carrasco a chance to eat some more exhibition innings as they give their regulars a few hacks in a home game against the Twins. Minnesota is sending a mixed bag of starters and not-starters, and will be […]
We kick off this year’s preview of the Atlanta Braves positional groups with possibly the strongest collection of catchers on a National League roster in the 2026, with one large question mark – health. Atlanta’s catching group features the reigning 2025 National League Rookie of the Year, a two different backstops who have an All-Star […]
A mix of game types happened on Sunday — some close (and maybe surprisingly so), some where a team obliterated another. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: Japan 4, Australia 3. Who had Japan beating a team in pool play by a run or less? After not quite smashing Korea, this […]
On Sunday, the Braves lost to the Rays 9-8 in a game that was no too enjoyable if you like good pitching. Bryce Elder was rocked from the start, while Joey Wentz left the game due to a knee injury (early indications are it is not serious.) Overall, the Braves have got good production from […]
Bryce Elder had a rough one on the mound at Charlotte Sports Park against the Rays, as he ended up conceding more runs than innings pitched in what turned out to be a battle of the bats between the Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay in spring training action. It was clear from the jump that […]
During today’s spring training contest between the Atlanta Braves and the Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta’s organizational depth when it comes to their starting pitching may have taken yet another hit. Joey Wentz had to be carted off the field during today’s game with an apparent injury to his leg — probably his knee. There’s no […]
It’s time for another Bryce Elder spring training start, as the Atlanta Braves continue to make their way through the Grapefruit League. For those keeping track at home, the Braves are actually sitting on top of the Grapefruit League standings, which is surely the greatest achievement that this team has accomplished in quite some time, […]
Friday was a day for blowouts. Saturday was a day for comebacks, and featured the first two walkoffs in WBC history. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: On we go to the games… Japan 8, Korea 6. These two teams played a bit of a barnburner while you were sleeping. Korea […]
The Braves 2025 season was.. yeah. Let’s go with unpredictable. Not fun for sure. The staff’s predictions was definitely not in the 70ish win range. But we had some decent submissions from last year. I mean, we were on our game. Blame the injuries and the HR/FB monster. Hey, let’s look at last year’s predictions […]
Didier Fuentes looked absolutely dominant on Saturday, drawing 7 whiffs on just 25 pitches and pumping up to 99 MPH with his fastball. He did so, however, throwing only two pitches and throwing his four-seamer 80% of the time. It will be interesting to see what additional pitches he adds to his arsenal this season, […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. may have gotten one-up on his buddy Ozzie Albies during Friday’s head-to-head matchup between Venezuela and the Netherlands during the World Baseball Classic but I’d imagine that that’s already in the distant past as far as Ozzie is concerned. While Acuña may have picked up a win on Friday, Ozzie Albies ended […]
Grant Holmes took the mound against the Orioles, as the Braves stacked their lineup with most of their regular bats. Holmes had a mixed day on the mound, as he issued 3 walks in 2.2 innings, something Grant has been prone to in his major league career, but striking out 3 and holding the Orioles […]
Well the Braves are missing a few players to the WBC, but the rest of the squad keeps chugging through the Spring Training schedule and we have gotten to see some fun prospect performances. Today they take on the Orioles and the young top 100 prospect, lefty Luis De Leon. The lineups are as follows: […]
Friday was the first full slate of WBC pool play action, and a lot of stuff happened. As expected, there were a lot of blowouts — both because of the fundamental talent mismatch, but also because these games are still Spring Training-y with the pitch count restrictions and the overall dearth of pitching talent, so […]
Dominic Smith is in the driver’s seat to make the Opening Day roster. The subtractions of Ha-Seong Kim and Jurickson Profar make it all but a certainty. Mark Bowman feels that Smith is your designated hitter versus right handed pitching coming out of the gate. It’s difficult to argue that point, so I’m going to […]
The World Baseball Classic continued on Friday, and this time, Ronald Acuña Jr. faced Ozzie Albies. Acuña Jr. and Team Venezuela came out on top, winning 6-2. The Braves outfielder set the tone early with a leadoff double and crossed the plate a couple of times. Albies and the Netherlands offense struggled to get much […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Twins in an evening spring training game today with a lineup full of players fighting for final roster spots while some of their stars battle it out in the WBC. Reynaldo López was on the mound looking to continue his success and hopefully stretch out a little bit. Speaking […]
The Atlanta Braves are continuing their spring training while some of their star players are off to the World Baseball Classic to include Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuña Jr. facing each other today. The Braves will face off against the Minnesota Twins with Reynaldo López taking the mound again. One of question marks for López […]
The much-anticipated Battle of the Braves between Venezuela’s Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies of the Netherlands saw a decisive winner, as Venezuela came out on top 6-2 in Pool D of 2026 World Baseball Classic action. From a Braves perspective, this was a one-sided affair as Acuña hit the ground running in helping his […]
Later on this evening, the Atlanta Braves are going to be playing their first night game of spring training over in Fort Myers against the Twins. However, those won’t be the only Braves players taking part in a baseball game in Florida today. In fact, there will be a game that actually counts (and figures […]
