Tyler Mahle looks to play Grim Reaper for Philly
Tyler Mahle has been great for Atlanta and will look to play executioner. With a massive win secured on Friday, they can put another nail in the coffin on Philly’s division hopes with a win tonight. Jesus Luzardo had been scheduled to start tonight’s game, but the Phillies scratched him with shoulder soreness after the […]
Let’s relive the end of the Braves comeback
If you missed last game, where were you? Let’s fast forward to the bottom of the eleventh in a tie game with two outs, with Ozzie Albies on second base and Ha-Seong Kim at the plate. Kim has come alive in September to help push the Braves over the line. Let’s look at this again. […]
Braves News: Drake Baldwin walks it off, DaShawn Keirsey Jr. recalled, and more
The Atlanta Braves had an exciting Friday night, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in an 11-inning thriller to take game one of the weekend series. Drake Baldwin was the man of the hour and delivered a walk-off to give the Braves the 6-5 edge. Baldwin’s double capped off an 11-hit night for the Atlanta offense as […]
11th Heaven: Insurmountable Braves top Phillies in extras, 6-5
The Braves had ‘em all the way. Yep, had ‘em all the way. At least, that’s what we’ll tell ourselves whenever a scintilla of a memory of this game pops into our brains, right? It took 12 innings, a brief blip from Chris Sale, and run-scoring scrambles in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh, another huuuuge […]
Start to Phillies-Braves delayed due to weather
The Friday Night showdown for the NL East will commence after a brief delay. The Braves have announced that the start time for tonight’s contest will shift from 7:15 pm ET to 8:00 pm ET. Hang out with us in the game thread in the meantime, won’t you?
Braves vs. Phillies chat and discussion: Chris Sale vs. Aaron Nola
Here we go, folks! The Atlanta Braves went up to Philadelphia and got a split in a four-game series against the Phillies last week and now they’ll have to hold serve against this same Philadelphia team a week later if they want to ensure that their hold on the NL East lead is as sturdy […]
Ozzie Albies returns to starting lineup against Phillies following big pinch-hit appearance
The lineups are out for tonight’s series-opening showdown between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies. There’s no major shakeup but there is a return to the lineup for one familiar face after he started Thursday’s contest on the bench. Ozzie Albies is back in the starting lineup for the Braves. Here’s how the rest […]
Braves set to send out Chris Sale for showdown against Phillies
Just over a week after starting off a four-game square-off in Philadelphia, the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are going to do it again — this time in Cobb County, as Friday’s matchup will serve as the series opener for this weekend’s three-game divisional showdown. Chris Sale will be returning to the mound to get […]
Braves make Lane Thomas IL move official and call up DaShawn Keirsey Jr.
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 […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Drue Hackenberg Dominates
Drue Hackenberg put up his best start of the season, throwing eight innings of one-run ball for the second straight outing while striking out nine hitters. Hackenberg has been dominant in his time in Columbus this season, and led the team to another win over the Biscuits thanks to his improved slider. David McCabe hit […]
How are you feeling about Braves-Phillies, Redux?
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 […]
Braves News: Lane Thomas to injured list, Atlanta avoids sweep, and more
Atlanta Braves outfielder Lane Thomas was scratched from Thursday’s lineup and is headed to the injured list. Manager Walt Weiss called it an intercostal strain and noted that Thomas could be out for the remainder of the season. Thomas, who has averaged .171 for Atlanta in 21 games, makes the second Brave to hit the […]
Braves vs. Rays series recap: Baseball survival tactics on full display down the stretch
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 […]
Lane Thomas will be placed on Injured List
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. […]
Late rally helps Braves avoid sweep, 3-1
The theme of this series so far was something like, “Braves can’t find holes, Rays hit all the homers and find all the holes.” Well, much of the third game between these two teams was similar, as both Martin Perez ad Nick Martinez largely cruised through the afternoon. But, lo and behold: in the eighth, […]
Braves reportedly were “discussing” sending Spencer Strider to Texas for Jacob deGrom
It’s been over a month since the trade deadline came and went and we’re still getting information on a trade that never actually happened. The Atlanta Braves and Texas Rangers were very close to getting a deal done that would bring Jacob deGrom to Atlanta but until today, we didn’t know who or what Atlanta […]
Braves vs. Rays chat and discussion: Martin Perez vs. Nick Martinez
Braves try to avoid getting swept / having the division lead possibly drop to two games (where they would be in danger of losing the division if swept over the weekend).
Braves load up on righties against Nick Martinez and the Rays
The Braves sure do love “hey, this guy might have reverse splits, let’s do something about it!” Or, maybe they don’t really love it, but this is at least twice in recent memory that they’ve taken someone who might have… neutral splits, and gone with more righty bats. It doesn’t make much sense to me, […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Brett Sears strikes out 10 for Gwinnett
While there were only two games on the docket, there was plenty of action to talk about. So, without further ado, let’s dive into it. (72-68) Gwinnett Stripers 8, (70-69) Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0 Box Score You’d be hard-pressed to find a better overall performance from Gwinnett this season, as the Stripers routed Jacksonville by […]
Braves look to avoid another karmic smackdown, getting swept by Rays
Nature is healing, as they say. For two very distinct reasons. Reason 1: The Braves, having sauntered to a pretty lofty record despite mediocre production, have been absolutely ravaged by some combination of baseball’s luck dragons and/or the Tampa Bay Rays’ sublime-in-this-series defensive positioning. Seriously: If this is how the universe attempts to set things […]
Braves News: Roster moves, rough patch, more
Atlanta lost to the Rays again and while they remain in a strong position moving into the playoffs, the offense has been too bad for too long to feel good about this club going into October, especially with the questions that exist around the pitching staff. Braves News The Braves shuffled the back of their […]
Braves continue to show a ton of effort with little reward in loss to Rays
For the second straight night, the Atlanta Braves received a frustrating beating from the Tampa Bay Rays and for the third straight day, the offense didn’t have a lot of success at the plate. This time, it was a 7-2 loss for the Braves that doomed them to an ill-timed series loss. Things stayed scoreless […]
Braves vs. Rays chat and discussion: Reynaldo López vs. Griffin Jax
Let’s get after it, y’all! The Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays are in the middle portion of their three game series and the onus is on the Braves to make sure that they don’t end up dropping the series right away. Reynaldo López has returned to the mound and hopefully we’ll see him put […]
Drake Baldwin returns to leadoff spot for Braves in middle game against Rays
The lineups are out for tonight’s contest as the Atlanta Braves are looking to knot up the series with the Tampa Bay Rays at one run apiece. Manager Walt Weiss has decided to go with a top-of-the-order look that we last saw when the Braves were in Philadelphia, which means that Drake Baldwin is getting […]
Reynaldo López returns to the mound as Braves look to sting Rays and avoid losing streak
There’s no ideal time for a three-game losing streak but at the same time, you especially don’t want to go on a three-game skid when you only have a handful of gams to play with at the top of the standings. That’s currently the scenario for the Atlanta Braves, who are holding onto a four-game […]
