Your one stop shop for everything Atlanta Braves
The Braves, as they are required, released their 2025 financial results on this past Wednesday. Revenue was up 18% despite the nightmare 2025 season on the field, powered by countless injuries, Alex Verdugo, and Scott Blewett. The Braves have cobbled together commercial real estate, concerts and shows, Banana Ball, parking and oh yes, a Major […]
Baseball fans, March is finally here. Real baseball is right around the corner. Let’s celebrate it by taking a little time to look at MLB Pipeline’s updated top 30 Atlanta Braves prospects. Taking a look at the list and a lot has changed. Didier Fuentes rises from 7th all the way to 3rd on the […]
I realized per a conversation over the weekend: I got ahead of myself with the question about the number of challenges. I didn’t even ask, plainly, about the vibes regarding the 2026 switch to an ABS challenge system in the first place. So, here, we go, and we’ll do it rajah community prospect list rec […]
While much of the attention through the first few weeks of Spring Training has been on the Braves pitching staff, the Braves offense has been the source of much success so far. Power has been on full display from just about everyone, from newcomers such as Mike Yastrzemski to emerging prospects like John Gil. Of […]
We were treated to a split-squad day on Sunday, with Reynaldo Lopez starting at home against the Rays, backed by most of the regular bats remaining in camp after a few WBC departures and Grant Holmes starting on the road at the Twins’ facility, backed by mostly quad-A players and a few prospects. At home, […]
Well, folks, it is March. That means regular season games happen later this month and we will hopefully have meaningful games for the seven months that follow. But, there are still almost four weeks of Spring Training games left, which means there is still time for the Atlanta Braves 2026 Opening Day roster to evolve. […]
The Braves have their first split squad matchup of Spring today, as Reynaldo Lopez and most of the regulars on offense face Drew Rasumussen and the Rays at CoolToday Park and Grant Holmes leads a team of mostly veteran quad-A players plus John Gil at DH against Mick Abel and the Twins. You can see […]
This morning, Atlanta Braves formally announce that infielder Nacho Alvarez, Jr. and reliever Hunter Stratton have been optioned to Triple-A and that non-roster invitees catcher Chadwick Tromp and reliever Javy Guerra have been reassigned to the minor league camp. Alvarez, Jr.’s option appeared on the team’s transaction page yesterday. For Alvarez, Jr., Tromp and Guerra, […]
The Braves have 65 players in camp right now. Yesterday Nacho Alvarez has already left for the World Baseball Classic. So that’s effectively your first cut. The Braves have a pair of split-squad games today and an off day Tuesday. So they will play a ton of players today, and typically off days are when […]
Spencer Strider looked pretty good on Saturday, even if he didn’t necessarily look like the Spencer Strider that we have been used to. His pitches looked good in terms of shape and he threw them for strikes. His velocity was sitting lower-90s though, so it will be worth monitoring whether that is a new normal […]
Spencer Strider’s spring training debut in 2026 was certainly an intriguing one, as Strider was clearly looking to accomplish his own set of goals in this one that may not have aligned with what the public speculation may be concerning his own profile as a pitcher at the moment. As I mentioned in the game […]
It’s another road game but this time, the lineup for our Atlanta Braves figures to be a little better than the last one that they sent out for a road game against the Yankees in Tampa. That’s probably because it’s a quicker trip from North Port to Sarasota instead of Tampa but either way, this’ll […]
We’re had a week with the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System. I think we’ve been waiting for this for at least five years. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you like it. The only question here is how happy are you to have ABS? I’ve gotta say that I’m really […]
The Atlanta Braves’ bats were hot during Friday’s 15-8 win over the Boston Red Sox. It was an exciting third inning, as the Braves plated 11 runs and Ronald Acuña Jr. launched a grand slam. Mike Yastrzemski and Matt Olson also joined in on the fun and went yard. Altogether, the Braves racked up 13 […]
Good evening! I hope your week has gone well and that the weekend treats you just as well. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
While the TV situation for the Atlanta Braves is currently in flux heading into the 2026 season, there are still games to be played and we at least know that 15 of them will be televised by your local Gray TV affiliate. We’ll keep this updated as more information comes out but for now, here’s […]
Just officially a month away from the Atlanta Braves’ opening day, the team’s offense is showing glimpses of high intensity and promise that fans are hoping will carry over into the regular season. Taking the win (15-8) against Boston, they’re ending the first full Spring Training week on a high note and ready to build […]
Another day, another Spring Training game day for baseball fans. After dropping a game yesterday’s performance to the Yankees with Carlos Carrasco on the mound, the Braves are set to face the Red Sox with a more competitive squad showing up, with Ronald Acuña Jr. batting leadoff, and a newly girded ace, Chris Sale, ready to […]
A quick one, off a stray thought. When the Braves ran out their lineup of regulars-ish a couple of days ago in a home Spring Training contest, Mauricio Dubon was hitting ninth, even behind Jonah Heim. Two days before that, Dubon was hitting ninth behind Aaron Schunk, of all people. It’s early in Spring Training, […]
The Atlanta Braves went to Tampa on Thursday and returned with a 7-3 loss to the New York Yankees. Carlos Carrasco got the ball and lasted just 1.2 innings. Though his outing was short, he surrendered four hits and five runs. He struck out one and surrendered a base on balls. Offensively, the Braves recorded […]
The Braves didn’t really intend to make Thursday afternoon’s exhibition contest in Tampa a competitive one — they sent a bunch of backups as their position player contingent, gave Carlos Carrasco the start, and had a pitching slate of “guys who complete innings because the regular crew can’t add a full month of workload to […]
It’s Spring Training Game Thread time again. Double wooooo. It’s kind of weird that Carlos Carrasco is “starting” again, but I guess we’ve had enough games now, and every other actual rotation-member other than Spencer Strider has made their 2026 Grapefruit League debut. The Braves are clearly not sending any of their regulars on the […]
You know about Chris Sale. He’s a very good pitcher. He also tends to get injured a lot, sometimes in very strange ways. In 2024, he avoided getting injured until very late in the season, and won the NL Cy Young Award. In 2025, he broke his ribs diving for a ball with a sizable […]
Despite the woes for rotation depth early this offseason, there is quietly a lot of competition for the back of the bullpen. Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, Dylan Dodd, Hayden Harris, and James Karinchak all had strong outings out of the bullpen Wednesday, with Harris and Karinchak looking especially impressive. The Braves have four bullpen locks […]
Good evening, everybody! Y’all enjoyig spring training so far or are you already ready for Opening Day? The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
