Braves Minor League Recap: Conor Essenburg’s huge game helps fuels GreenJackets offense
(43-56) Iowa Cubs 7, (52-48) Gwinnett Stripers 3 Box Score The Stripers were unable to overcome rough starting pitching en route to their loss to the Iowa Cubs. JR Ritchie got the start and struggled out of the gate – struggling to generate whiffs and spot his pitches in the first inning, which ultimately was […]
Braves to activate Ronald Acuña Jr. on Monday, per report
The Braves are rolling (albeit in a bit of a strange way), and hey, this is the best news in a while: Ronald Acuña Jr. has been on the shelf since June 10. He hurt his hamstring trying to run out a grounder in the June 9 loss, which was the game that kind of started […]
Do you think Ozzie Albies has felt worse about a game?
Ozzie Albies is having a fun season. I’m not sure it’s unequivocally a good season, but it’s been fun. His wRC+ is back in triple digits (now sitting at an even 100) while falling short of that mark in 2024 and 2025. His ISO is higher than both 2024 and 2025, and he’s already hit […]
Braves News: Andruw Jones Officially in Hall Of Fame, Series win Over Orioles, More
The Braves decided to keep the drama high over the weekend. They were fortunate enough to win two of three in Baltimore, as each game was decided by one run. Sunday’s win may have been the most dramatic of all, as the Braves tried multiple times to give the game away. But in the end, […]
Braves at Orioles series recap: More drama, more wins
Well, if the Padres series wasn’t dramatic enough for you then hopefully you got enough of it during this series between the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards! Two games went to extra innings and the only game that didn’t went to a walk off. There was barely anything separating these two ballclubs […]
Braves pull off miraculous extra-innings series win over Orioles
In a game where (according to FanGraphs) the Atlanta Braves had a 7.4 percent chance of winning in the bottom of the tenth inning, Atlanta somehow ended up victorious after Austin Riley’s go-ahead RBI double in the 11th inning held up and brought us to the final score of 3-2. Early on, this one was […]
Braves vs. Orioles chat and discussion: Reynaldo López vs. Shane Baz
Alright, folks! We got a good ol’ fashioned Sunday afternoon rubber match on our hands, as our Atlanta Braves will try to snatch a series win on the road agianst the Baltimore Orioles. Will Reynaldo López bounce back after a couple of poor outings? Can the Braves make something happen against SHane Baz? It’s time […]
Andruw Jones set for Hall of Fame induction
Today, Sunday, July 26, 2026, former Atlanta Braves center fielder Andruw Jones will officially be inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame. Jones gained election on his ninth and penultimate year on the ballot by baseball’s writers and will be joined in the 2026 class by fellow center fielder Carlos Beltran and second baseman Jeff Kent. […]
2026 Battery Power Braves Midseason Top 30 Prospects: Honorable Mentions
Christmas in July continues as we roll into one of our favorite series of the year – our Top 30, midseason addition. After a strong draft in 2025, followed by adding a lot of good talent from the international free agency period, we now take a look at the state of the franchise following the […]
Jim Jarvis remains in starting lineup as Braves face off against Orioles
Sometimes you’ve just got to show faith in the youngsters, right? Indeed, it appears as if former Braves shortstop and current Braves manager Walt Weiss has decided to stick with current rookie Braves shortstop Jim Jarvis the day after he made a couple of crucial errors in the field during Saturday night’s walk-off loss to […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Essenburg Hits 10th Homer
It’s almost fitting that I write today’s recap of the action in the Atlanta Braves minor league system on the day when the first prospect I began to follow gets inducted into the Hall of Fame in Andruw Jones. It was an interesting day in the Braves system as Ronald Acuna Jr. was among three […]
Reynaldo López and Shane Baz set to square off in Braves-Orioles rubber match
A closely-fought series between the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves and the currently-hot Baltimore Orioles will come down to the Sunday matinee game, as Reynaldo López will be looking to make a bounce-back start in order to help potentially push the Braves to another series win. López will be entering this game fresh off the heels […]
Why haven’t the Braves looked outside the organization for pitching?
Relax. This is not a scathing post about the Braves’ trade deadline plans. The trade deadline won’t be for another eight days. This is more about my curiosity about where the Braves have gotten their bullpen help to date. By this time last year, the Braves had acquired seven pitchers via trade. This season, Victor […]
Braves News: Grant Holmes, Eli White injury, Ronald Acuna return, more
Braves News Curt took a look at Grant Holmes’ performance as a starter and what it says about Atlanta’s rotation as a whole. Eli White left Saturday’s game early after a very strange injury. It’s unclear what he actually injured or what the likely return timetable will be. The Braves lost a tight game due […]
Offense and defense can’t support strong pitching in 1-run loss
The Braves were going for a series win on Saturday, in a matchup of back-of-the-rotation starters. As one might expect, given the pitchers involved, there were baserunners scattered throughout the early innings. The Orioles struck first in the third, as Jim Jarvis committed an error and didn’t make another play on a hard line drive, […]
Eli White exits game after falling on his way to second base
There was a bizarre moment during Saturday night’s middle game between the Braves and the Orioles. Eli White was pinch-hitting for Mike Yastrzemski in the seventh inning and hit one down the line for what was presumably going to be a double for the outfielder. Well, it did end up being a double but White […]
Braves vs Orioles Game Thread: 7/25/2026
Join us and discuss tonight’s game below as the Braves go for a series win behind Bryce Elder at 7:05 PM ET in Atlanta on BravesVision and MLBTV!
Dominic Smith starts at DH against the Baltimore righty
The Braves have Bryce Elder on the mound against a similar-quality pitcher for Baltimore, as Atlanta goes for a series win. Facing a righty, Dominic Smith gets the start at DH, batting sixth. Drake Baldwin leads off and starts at catcher. Meanwhile, the Baltimore lineup can be viewed below. Join us for tonight’s game at […]
Braves look for a win in Baltimore behind Bryce Elder
After a nice extra-innings win to start the weekend series on Saturday, the Braves hope to secure an early series win with Bryce Elder on the mound at Camden Yards. The Orioles will counter with the big 27-year-old righty Brandon Young. Bryce had a good start to the season, but has had a rough time […]
Grant Holmes starts continue to drill home Braves’ need for starter depth
Grant Holmes’ starts this season are getting to be a bit like a choose-your-adventure book where no matter what choices you make, the story ends up the same. He hasn’t had a truly disastrous start in terms of putting the team in a hole this season, getting charged with more than three runs just once […]
Ronald Acuña, Jr. return may be delayed until Monday, per report
Mark Bowman of. MLB.com is reporting this morning that rehabbing outfielder Ronald Acuña, Jr. may play in both of today’s Gwinnett Stripers games after last night’s contest was unable to be played due to inclement weather and thus he return to the big league roster could be delayed until Monday. Coming into Friday, it was […]
Braves designate RHP Elieser Hernández for assignment, recall LHP Connor Thomas
That Atlanta Braves continue their season-long bullpen shuffling by designating last night’s winning pitcher Elieser Hernández for assignment and recalling Connor Thomas ahead of tonight’s match-up against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-handed Hernández made his Braves debut – and first MLB appearance since 2024 – last night, pitching three innings and picking up the victory. […]
How much should Ronald Acuña Jr play in his first week back?
Ronald Acuña Jr could be back with the Atlanta Braves as soon as today. Ronald is returning to the Braves after straining his left hamstring in consecutive months. They have been much more careful with Sean Murphy, Ha-Seong Kim and Ronald after shorter IL stints earlier this season. In light of his numerous lower body […]
Braves News: Matt Olson delivers, AJ Smith-Shawver progressing, and more
The Atlanta Braves’ weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles started off strong after Friday’s 7-6 win in extra innings. Matt Olson was the man of the hour and gave Atlanta the lead in 10th, courtesy of his three-run homer. Things were shaky for Atlanta in the bottom half of the 10th inning, but fortunately the […]
Matt Olson’s 10th-inning homer helps Braves open trip with dramatic defeat of Orioles
Holding down the Braves’ offense for nine innings is doable, especially if your pitchers are able to keep the ball in the yard. But the Baltimore Orioles learned in Friday’s series opener against Atlanta that it gets harder the longer a game goes on. The Braves used Matt Olson’s two-out, three-run homer to explode for […]
