Braves at Nationals chat and discussion: Grant Holmes vs Brad Lord
The Atlanta Braves are looking to stop a two game skid and secure a win against the Washington Nationals behind Grant Holmes who could surpass 130.0 innings on the season with his start today. Brad Lord will be pitching for the Nationals and all four of his starts have been in the opening capacity. The […]
Braves vs. Nationals rain delay chat and discussion
It’s the fourth inning of a scoreless game and the Atlanta Braves are knocking on the door with the bases loaded and one out in the top half of this frame. We’ll have to wait and see if the Braves can cash in on the opportunity since some inclement weather that had been knocking on […]
Kim stays in lineup and Murphy moves up to sixth as Braves face Nationals
When the Atlanta Braves swept the Dodgers it resulted in them having the most wins against teams above .500 in MLB, but they have since lost two games to sub .500 teams. The lineup has been one of the main reasons why there has been this rollercoaster of losing games that the Braves should win. […]
Grant Holmes looks to get the Braves back on track against Nationals
After winning seven straight games, to include sweeping the Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves have lost two games in a row to subpar opponents. With the Phillies on their tale, the Braves need to win games that they are supposed to win to keep the lead, and the game today against the Nationals is one of […]
Which cosmic entity did the Braves anger to get last night’s result?
Not so much a question, more of a rhetorical one… Yesterday’s 9-5 loss to the Nationals featured this: Sadly, that xwOBA is all too familiar for this crew — you have to go back to July 29 for the Braves to have an even amount of above-.300 and below-.300 xwOBAs, and it’s not like .300 […]
Braves News: Blake Burkhalter debuts, playoff chase update, and more
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that they have selected the contract of right-hander Blake Burkhalter and infielder Kyle Farmer. In addition, fellow right-hander Robert Suarez was transferred to the 60-day injured list. 25-year-old Burkhalter made his MLB debut Tuesday evening during a 9-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. He entered in the bottom of the […]
A night to forget for both offense and pitching as Braves fall to the Nationals, 9-5
It’s September and it feels like we’ve been waiting a lifetime for this 2026 Braves team to put everything together. Glimpses of dominant pitching and barrages of offensive power have rarely coincided for long stretches. After a frustrating loss to the Giants to finish out August, the Braves similarly squandered opportunities and fell to the […]

Braves biweekly: all we do is accumulate wins
Past summaries: On August 15, the Braves were enjoying an 8-5 month. They then had more or less the road trip from hell, only to return home and sweep the Dodgers and keep it going with another sweep of the Rockies right after. In total, they went 9-6 over August’s second half. That .600 winning […]

Has the universe had enough of Dylan Lee?
Possibly one of the weirdest positive things about a member of the 2026 Atlanta Braves is that Dylan Lee is second among the team’s pitchers in fWAR, with 2.0. Among all pitchers, he is 71st with that mark. To be clear: every team has five-plus starters and a gaggle of relievers, and Lee is in […]

Braves News: Winning Streak Comes to End, September Roster Moves, More
Monday was the rare game in which the Braves got beat by their own strategy.

Bryce Elder gets the start to face the Giants
Two series sweeps, a six-game win streak, and a lot of momentum to face the San Francisco Giants… can Bryce Elder continue this run for the Atlanta Braves? Elder is currently boasting a 3.95 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. His last start against the Dodgers didn’t go well, with eight hits allowed and three earned […]
Three big stats to keep in mind as Braves move into September
The regular season is winding down and the Atlanta Braves are in pole position to get back on top of the NL East as champions once again. With that being said, there’s still no coronation being planned as there will be seven games in September alone between the Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies and due […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Jordan Groshans registers 30th homer in Columbus win
It was an absolute action-packed day down on the farm, as all four teams in Atlanta’s system put up a respectable day both on the mound and at the plate. (67-64) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (58-72) Louisville Bats 5 Box Score Despite attempting a late-inning comeback, Gwinnett ultimately came up short, losing by one run on […]
Is this Braves team weird?
I have strong feelings about this that will be its own separate post at some point, probably this week. But, what do you think? We’re five-sixths-ish of the way done with the season on a calendar month basis, and the Braves are very good in terms of record… but the way they’ve gotten there has […]
Braves News: Series Sweep of Rockies, Seven Straight Wins for Braves, More

Matt Olson provided the latest chapter with a walk-off hit to earn the Braves a 3-2 victory and a series sweep over the Rockies. Tyler Mahle once again looked fantastic, while both Sean Murphy and […]
Braves vs. Rockies series recap: A stabilizing run of seven straight successes
What a difference a week makes, right? Around this time last week, the Atlanta Braves were looking to simply get the train back on the tracks by salvaging a win from a series loss against the Brewers. They’d lost three full series in a row and the Phillies were red hot. It was getting too […]
