Walt Weiss: Braves are “at our best” when things are the toughest
How’s that for a curtain-raiser on this Postseason run for the Atlanta Braves? The best way that I can describe how that first game went down is to paraphrase a quote from my favorite professional wrestler of all time. The only thing that’s for sure about the Postseason is that nothing’s for sure. That’s the […]
Braves initiate exorcism with Austin Riley’s huge homer, 5-3 win over Phillies in NLWC Game 1
The Braves have not had a good time playing the Phillies in the postseason recently. Austin Riley had a nightmarish 2026 season. While the end of this story isn’t yet set down in ink, the first intonations of a ritual chant could be heard on Tuesday afternoon, as Riley hit a monstrously-important three-run shot and […]
Braves Wild Card Game 1 vs Phillies Chat and Discussion
Welcome to the Postseason. Welcome to the beginning of an historic World Series run, or the last two days of the season. Welcome to heroes becoming goats and GOATs becoming legends. This is first day of the rest of our fandom, or another fruitless day. This is the best time of the year, and a […]
Ozzie Albies appears locked in, Walt Weiss explains roster decisions
It’s time to get rocking and rolling around here. Not too long from the time that I’m typing this, the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies wil be renewing their Postseason rivalry for another season. While the fans are never going to get on the field and make plays or anything like that (nor would […]
Mauricio Dubon hits cleanup, Mike Yastrzemski in at DH in NLWC Game 1
The Braves are going with a lineup that’s simultaneously surprising and not-so-surprising in Game 1 of their three-game playoff set against the Phillies: The top half of the lineup isn’t that surprising. Sure, maybe you expected the Braves to start with Ronald Acuña Jr. given that the nominal starter they are facing today throws with […]
Here’s why the Atlanta Braves can win the World Series
The Atlanta Braves begin their quest for the World Series on Tuesday afternoon at Truist Park. Is this a perfect team? Of course not. We know of their frequent struggles to score runs, their lack of healthy starting pitchers for a large portion of the season, and, at times, the heavy usage on the bullpen. […]

Chris Sale — who else? — leads Braves in Game 1 against the Phillies
It’s come down to this, once again. For the third time in five seasons, the Braves’ first playoff opponent will be a Phillies team that they beat up on in the regular season and distanced themselves from in the standings. But, when you force two teams — any two teams — to play a short […]
Are you actually going to be able to watch the Braves in the Wild Card series?
Somehow, I’m doing game coverage for one of the two guaranteed playoff games the Braves have this year, so a quick one here because, well, I need to get the preview up for like an hour after this goes up… because the Braves’ postseason game is scheduled for 2:00 pm ET. Honestly, the scheduling is […]
Braves News: Game 1 Vs Phillies, All-MLB team nominations, more
Playoff baseball is finally here. Chris Sale will man the mound for the Braves while Jesus Luzardo will start for the Phillies. Sale is ready for the moment, but many in Braves country know it is going to be just as important that the offense is ready to go as well. It does seem that […]

Braves stay loose and focused on Workout Day ahead of Wild Card Series against Phillies
It was the day before Postseason and all through the house, there were bats cracking all around as the Atlanta Braves officially got their pre-Wild Card Series workout underway for what they hope is a long, deep run into the Postseason. There was plenty of activity from the Braves from outside of the actual workout. […]
Braves have nine players nominated for 2026 All-MLB Teams
With the regular season coming to a close, we’re already getting our first glimpse of what awaits on the horizon of awards season. The All-MLB Team is starting to gain some footing and now, the nominees for the 2026 All-MLB Team have been announced. As such, the Braves are going to have plenty of opportunities […]
Braves biweekly: a cromulent clincher
Past summaries: In September’s latter half, the Braves did a big thing: they clinched their first NL East title in three seasons (but seventh in nine seasons under the current Front Office). They did so with a sweep of the Astros in Houston, while dropping every other series they played. Of course, that sounds more […]
2026 Wild Card Series Preview: Braves tangle with Phillies yet again
Well, it looks like we’re doing this again. For the third time in five seasons, the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies will be facing off in the Postseason. You don’t need me to tell you how the past two series went but if you’re dwelling on that, I’d advise you not to. Both managers have […]
Could DaShawn Keirsey Jr.’s speed benefit Braves in the Postseason?
As the Atlanta Braves make preparations for postseason baseball, constructing the optimal roster will be an important task in the days ahead. While the pitching staff is likely to garner the most attention, filling out the position players with useful reserves will give manager Walt Weiss more buttons to push in late and close situations. […]
Battery Power Braves End of Season Top 30 Prospects
We find ourselves at the end of the season so what better way to celebrate one of the best seasons in recent prospect history than to do our final re-ranking of the Top 30 for the year. While the biggest story was the progression of several positional prospects the Braves also added a significant amount […]
Are the Phillies your preferred Wild Card round matchup?
The Phillies and the Braves appear to be postseason-linked in the same way that Martin Perez and I are — perhaps not inextricably, but… annoyingly? Yeah, that’s the right adverb. On the plus side for the Braves, the Phillies are neither particularly good, nor did they really get a chance to set things up for […]
Braves News: Braves Welcome Phillies For Wild Card Round, Early Afternoon Schedule for Games, More
The 2026 season is over and the next step for the Braves could not be more familiar and perhaps appropriate. The Braves will host their division rival, the Phillies, for a best of three Wild Card round setup at Truist Park this week. Both Tuesday and Wednesday games will occur at just after 2PM Eastern, […]
Braves at Marlins series recap: It’s onto October for Atlanta
The regular season is over and it ended in quiet fashion for the Atlanta Braves. All of their big fireworks and celebrations took place last Sunday when they picked up a sweep in Houston in order to clinch the NL East title. It’s been a week since then and the Braves have essentially been in […]

Rest for regulars in Braves-Marlins series finale
Here we are, Braves Country. One last contest before some (afternoon, ugh) Postseason baseball at Truist Park starting Tuesday. This is a lineup we’ve been expecting all week – one that allows the Braves to rest some of their stars. Drake Baldwin, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Michael Harris II all get watch this one from […]
JR Ritchie and the Braves close out the regular season in Miami
We’ve done it, folks – Game 162 is here. To call it a weird year is an understatement. So what does that make us if we’ve followed along so faithfully? Unlike some other teams fighting for their lives down to the wire, the Braves have been getting some fresh air and exercise in relatively stress-free […]
