Atlanta Braves off day chat and discussion: June 25
Hoo boy, it has suddenly gotten tense in Braves Country. The Atlanta Braves are on a serious skid and it doesn’t help that their once-massive lead in the division has already been cut significantly as well. A spark (and maybe some major acquisitions ahead of the trade deadline) is needed at the moment so that […]
Braves at Padres series recap: Consistently calamitous in California
Death. Taxes. This current era of the Atlanta Braves having nearly nothing go right for them whenever they’re in California. Petco Park has especially turned into a house of horrors for the Braves, as Atlanta has now lost nine straight games on the road against the Padres (if you’re including the 2024 NL Wild Card […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Alex Lodise homers, doubles as Augusta’s offense breaks out
Atlanta’s minor league affiliates went .500 on Wednesday with bookend wins at the triple-A and low-A levels. There was plenty of action from Augusta’s 19 runs, to a nice day at the plate for the Stripers. Let’s get into all of Wednesday’s action. (39-37) Gwinnett Stripers 8, (44-33) Nashville Sounds 5 Box Score The Stripers […]
Will a visit San Francisco be disastrous this year, too?
I know that no one really wants to remember last year, but the trip to San Francisco was a bit of a fulcrum point. Or, maybe, not a fulcrum point, but the part where the Braves were flipped off the deep end by a lever atop a diabolically-positioned fulcrum. Or something. Specifically, the 2025 Braves […]
Braves News: Tyler Kinley returns, Reynaldo Lopez set to join rotation, more
Braves News Tyler Kinley returned to the active roster, along with Ian Hamilton, with Cookie being DFA’d and JR Ritchie being optioned. Reynaldo Lopez is reportedly set to rejoin Atlanta’s rotation this weekend, as the Braves’ rotation continues to be a major issue for the team. MLB News Former top prospect Mick Abel is getting […]
Braves sleepwalk in San Diego and get swept
There are many highs and many lows over the course of a 162 game baseball season. And this sure feels about as low as you can get. The Braves continued their spiral on Wednesday night in San Diego, falling by a score of 5-2. It was their fourth loss in a row to drop them […]
Braves vs Padres chat and discussion: Martín Pérez vs JP Sears
To sweep or not to sweep. Unfortunately, the Atlanta Braves are not in a favorable position to ask this question. But, they’ve shown they can turn things around under pressure at any given time… let’s see if tonight can be one of those times. First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m. EDT. Game Notes Lineup […]
Reynaldo López will return to starting rotation for weekend series, per report
The lineup isn’t the only place where Walt Weiss and the Atlanta Braves are now throwing throwing things at the wall and trying to figure out what sticks during this rough patch. The rotation has been the heart of the issue, as even when the Braves do score runs, their starters have gotten hit too […]
Braves look to avoid a sweep with Mauricio Dubón leading off
The struggle has become apparent for this Atlanta Braves team, who are currently on a three-game losing streak. The name of the game is to score early and not let up…of course, pitching will have to do a pretty solid job as well to keep the San Diego Padres from finishing what they started in […]
Martín Pérez takes the mound in Padres series finale
The Atlanta Braves suffered a disappointing loss in yesterday’s match-up against the San Diego Padres during extra innings. Martín Pérez is looking to help the team bounce back to break their losing streak. Braves pitching has seen its struggles as of late.

Braves reinstate Tyler Kinley from IL and option JR Ritchie to Triple-A
Following yet another depressing loss in Petco Park for the Atlanta Braves, some changes have been made and there’s some good news as far as the bullpen is concerned. Tyler Kinley is back healthy after dealing with “right elbow inflammation” and has been reinstated from the 15-day IL as a result. This is very big […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Cody Miller launches his sixth homer in eight games for Augusta
With six games on the docket there was plenty of action to examine on Wednesday, so let’s dive into it all. (38-37) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (44-32) Nashville Sounds 12 Box Score Despite leading this one 4-2 at one point, the Stripers bullpen faltered late as Gwinnett lost by a staggering 12-5 final on Tuesday. Drue […]
Are the Braves done chasing wins?
To set some context: the Braves have a 5.5-game lead in the division, playoff odds north of 96 percent, and MLB’s third-best record. They don’t need to chase wins. But, in the same vein, they didn’t need to chase wins in 2025 (although it wasn’t ever quite as comparable, as playoff odds dipped below 90 […]
Braves News: Series loss in San Diego, Robert Suarez, and more
The Atlanta Braves have had a difficult week out West and dropped the series to the San Diego Padres after Tuesday’s 7-6 loss. In walk-off fashion, the Braves fell to 48-30 and watched the division lead dwindle to 5.5 games. JR Ritchie started last night’s game, and it was another underwhelming outing for the rookie. […]
Braves blow another one in 7-6 loss to Padres
A wild night at Petco Park was capped off by a walk-off single by way of Manny Machado as the Braves fell to the Padres, 7-6, in 10 innings. This is a bad baseball team at the moment. The second inning was a doozy for both sides. The Braves loaded the bases and cashed in […]
Braves at Padres chat and discussion: JR Ritchie vs Wandy Peralta/Griffin Canning
After another lifeless offensive performance in Monday’s series opener at San Diego, the Braves look to level the series and force a Wednesday rubber match in Tuesday night’s 9:40 p.m. EDT game at Petco Park. Atlanta turns to rookie JR Ritchie on the mound, while the Padres are expected to counter with Wandy Peralta as […]
Sweeping changes to Braves lineup as they search for a spark in San Diego
As an offensive slump continues for the Braves, Tuesday’s lineup reflects a team trying a number of different things to try and figure things out in the second game of Atlanta’s series at the San Diego Padres. Michael Harris II, who hit fifth in each of his three games since returning from another brief absence […]
JR Ritchie, Braves’ skidding offense look to get right against Padres
The final West Coast trip of the season for the Braves started in brutal fashion Monday night in San Diego. The hot-and-cold offense which has been a lot more cold of late was at its coldest in the opener, stranding eight runners in a 1-0 loss to the Padres. The Braves will put JR Ritchie […]
Some real (and old) concerns about the 2026 Braves are starting to emerge
Let’s start this off with some good news: If the Braves play straight-up mediocre .500 baseball from this point forward, they should still have enough wins to get them back into the Postseason. The fantastic level of form that they reached during late-March and throughout April and most of May has essentially ensured that the […]
MLB Draft 2026: Players with most at stake ahead of Combine
The 2026 MLB Draft Combine kicks off June 23-26 in Phoenix, and there are going to be a massive 335 players involved this year. Some of these players have more at stake in front of the Atlanta Braves and the 29 other teams, and for different reasons. Today I plan to take a look at […]
Braves 2026 Draft Candidate Gio Rojas Scouting Report
As we close in on the 2026 MLB Draft, the focus on who the Atlanta Braves are looking at for the ninth overall pick has come into focus a bit. Names like Georgia Tech outfielder Drew Burress, Arkansas catcher Ryder Helfrick, Kentucky shortstop Tyler Bell, and Florida prep lefty Gio Rojas seem to be the […]
How do the Braves feel about Dylan Dodd?
This isn’t a “how do you feel about Dylan Dodd” post. It’s more about the Braves. Two buckets of facts, and then I’ll add a third. Bucket the first: in 2025, Dodd had an 85/94/83 line (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-). That’s not a dominant reliever line, but it is a pretty good one. In 2026 so far, Dodd […]
Braves News: Tarik Skubal, Drake Baldwin, More
While the product on the filed for the Braves is having some ups and downs at the moment, it appears many around baseball continue to think Atlanta is clearly a contender. And for some, the Braves are the contender that could make the most sense as the landing spot for coveted pitcher Tarik Skubal. While […]
Braves offense lifeless again in loss to Padres
The Braves offense was lifeless against Michael King and the San Diego bullpen on Monday night, losing 1-0 to drop their second game in a row. It was more of the same for Grant Holmes, who labored through 4 2/3 innings. He hung a slider to struggling Manny Machado in the fourth inning that was […]
