The first two games of this weekend’s Braves-Red Sox series couldn’t have been much closer, with each team claiming a 3-2 win. After Boston used an eighth-inning homer from Willson Contreras to win Saturday night’s game, the rubber match is set for Sunday at 1:35 p.m. at Truist Park. The Braves, who have lost just […]
I’ll be honest. College baseball is decidedly not my thing. The very best college prospects sometimes end up in Double-A, while the vast majority will be sent to A ball or perhaps the complex. If I wanted that I could, you know, go see actual minor leaguers in person. I know “gotta support the school” […]
The Braves lost Saturday night and will now have a chance at 1:35 PM ET today to take the series win with them from a series that they really should win. Once again, bullpen fatigue bit them, as this sort of six-man rotation arrangement with two hybrid-long-men in Reynaldo Lopez (who is also untrustworthy) and […]
Remember when we just complained about the third time through the order? We didn’t know how good we had it. Holding on to a slim lead and wanting to give their top bullpen arms a break, the Braves opted not only to run Bryce Elder through the Red Sox order a third time, but also […]
Well, it’s time to see if the Braves can win another series by taking back-to-back games. Bryce Elder, who is hopefully up to being Bryce Eldar again, faces Payton Tolle. I really want to have some kind of riff on Tolle’s name with The Phantom Tollbooth but it gets awkward — Phaynton Tollebooth? Nah. What […]
Well, I’m not going to say the “Mauricio Dubon leads off against lefties” experiment is over, but whatever the case may be, it’s at least on hiatus for tonight’s game against Payton Tolle and the Red Sox: Austin Riley is back hitting cleanup, and Michael Harris II has dropped to sixth. These all sort make […]
The Bryce Elder saga continues. At least it’s a happier one than in years past… though what about the MLB-best Braves isn’t, at this point? Elder got things started on the right foot this year with an altered pitch mix and augmented slider, with three good outings in his first four tries. His collective line […]
Past summaries: How did the Braves do recently? The Braves went 9-4 in the first half of May. They were 22-10 through April (.688) and 9-4 is a .692 winning percentage, so… that’s remarkably consistent considering there’s no reason to expect that 13 games will look like the past 32 games, but here we are. […]
It does appear that the days of Spencer Strider reaching back and delivering some electrifying stuff in the form of a four-seam heater are over. Strider has made three starts so far to get his 2026 season going and so far, he’s been sitting in the range of 96-97 mph when it comes to his […]
It was a jam-packed day of action down on the farm as there were a handful of significant individual performances to highlight, so let’s get into it. (26-17) Gwinnett Stripers 9, (17-26) Durham Bulls 2 Box Score Gwinnett rode an excellent start from Carlos Carrasco and a handful of solid offensive performances on Friday night […]
The top of the bullpen has been good. The bottom of the bullpen has trying very hard. Tyler Kinley, like Dylan Lee, Robert Suarez, and Raisel Iglesias, has been a part of the leading side of the bullpen this year. The last three weeks however, have been brutal for Kinley. This is the third home […]
The Atlanta Braves began the series with the Boston Red Sox on a high note after getting a win in walk-off fashion. Mike Yastrzemski was the hero and delivered a walk-off in the 10th to give the Braves the 3-2 edge. Prior to the 10th inning, the Atlanta offense was relatively quiet. The lineup collected […]
The Braves started their series against Boston off with Spencer Strider on the mound, looking to build on his strong start against the Dodgers. Spencer worked around a leadoff walk with two contact outs and a nice pickoff for a clean first inning. It didn’t take long for the Braves to give him some help, […]

The Braves are running Sandy Leon out at catcher and Jose Azocar in right field against Connelly Early and the Red Sox in game 1. Spencer Strider will start the game for Atlanta. Austin Riley is batting fifth, facing a lefty starter in Early, with Michael Harris and Ha-Seong Kim behind him. It would be […]
After a positive series hosting the Cubs, the Braves hope to get off to a good start in game 1 hosting the Red Sox. Spencer Strider starts for the Braves, hoping to continue his strong start in LA. The Red Sox will counter with Connelly Early. The Red Sox have not had a great start […]
Yeah, I know. Regular season series are only three games long and sometimes four but this is one where you have to take the previous three games into a little consideration once we eventually get into talking about these three games. That’s because the Braves were entering this series against the Chicago Cubs hot off […]
It was a tough Thursday evening for the Atlanta Braves affiliates. They all took losses and none of them looked particularly good doing it. There were still some good things going on, especially down in Augusta, but it was overall a disappointing evening for the starting pitching. (25-17) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (17-25) Durham Bulls 5 […]
It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]
The Atlanta Braves were unable to come away with the series sweep after Thursday’s 2-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Chris Sale got the start, where he threw six innings. He allowed an unearned run, walked two, and recorded eight strikeouts. On the other side of the ball, the Braves’ bats were quiet, with the […]
In the preview for tonight’s game, I mentioned that this game might come down to who could find the big hits in the latter stages of the game. The Braves have made a good living when it comes to either turning games around or finishing things off during the money innings (seventh, eighth and ninth), […]
The Atlanta Braves have already clinched the series win against the Cubs in their second-consecutive high-profile series. Now they’re going for the really loud statement of pulling off a sweep against the Cubs. Ben Brown and the rest of the North Siders aren’t likely to just roll over, so this should be another closely-fought contest […]
The Atlanta Braves are going for a sweep against the Chicago Cubs, which would cap off a fantastic six-game stretch if the Braves were able to pull it off. Things went well enough against right-handed Cubs starter Colin Rea in the first game and after shaking things up against the lefty Shota Imanaga in the […]
Long after Bobby Cox managed his final game on October 11, 2010, and stepped away from the game he dedicated his life to, the news of his passing on May 9 felt like the coda to a magical period in Atlanta Braves history. As it did throughout a storied baseball career that began in 1959, […]
Fresh off of winning a series in Dodger Stadium to cap off a successful road trip out West, the Atlanta Braves are now looking to keep this fantastic run going by not just picking up a series win against the Chicago Cubs but capping off the three-game set with a series sweep of the current […]
