The breakout man of the 2026 season had another outstanding day for Rome, providing more with his glove this time than his bat. His early double did contribute an RBI for the Emperors, but it was him soaring to rob a three-run home run that ultimately led to the Emperors prevailing in a close matchup. […]
I’m not going to argue one way or another, I’m just throwing the question out there. The Braves got Mauricio Dubon in a salary dump. The Honduran utility man had a standout defensive year in 2025, accumulating 2.2 fWAR in just under 400 PAs, but that wasn’t enough for the Astros to be interested in […]
Some good stuff has been happening on the farm for this Braves franchise this year, as a number of position-player prospects have been really showing out, including shortstops John Gil and Tate Southesene. Perhaps the most impressive has been 2024 20th round pick, Canadian centerfielder Eric Hartman. Hartman joined Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list […]
It was a bit of a quiet game to start tonight’s midweek matchup, but the Atlanta Braves pulled it off against the Chicago Cubs 4-1. The first run was a solo-shot by Drake Baldwin in the bottom of the fourth, and the only run scored by the team until the bottom of the eighth. JR […]
Prior to tonight’s game against the Chicago Cubs, the Atlanta Braves provided injury updates on numerous players via manager Walt Weiss. A summary of updates on five of the players is listed below. Yesterday, the Braves provided an update on Sean Murphy, who is expected to miss two months with a broken finger. The positive […]
The stage is set, and the Chicago Cubs are looking for a get -back against the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. As leaders of the central themselves, they’re not going to be an easy team to keep at bay, especially if they can get some early runs. The Braves, however, are known to find their ways […]
After ending yesterday’s game against the Chicago Cubs with a one-hitter, the Atlanta Braves are looking to secure an early series win and a whole new offensive plan with rookie JR Ritchie on the mound. Let’s look at who we have. The one question that’s been surfacing is, “Where’s Dominic Smith on the starting lineup?” […]
The Atlanta Braves pulled off a win against the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs in yesterday’s matchup and are now looking at rookie JR Ritchie to continue their winning streak to capture an early series win. Ritchie, who’s boasting a 3.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, didn’t appear in his usual rotation during the Los Angeles […]
It’s hard to find too much to gripe about with the 2026 Atlanta Braves through 42 games. At the plate, they lead the majors in batting average (.272), slugging percentage (.452), wOBA (.347), wRC+ (121), and have scored the most runs of any team (233). On the mound and with the gloves, they’re tops in […]
With the MLB Draft only about two months away I thought it would be good to examine the history of the players selected with the picks the Atlanta Braves have in the 2026 MLB Draft. With the Braves picking ninth overall for their first selection, I decided to start by looking at the history of […]
Tate Southisene has had about the best start to his career that the Atlanta Braves could have dreamed of, putting together a monster campaign through a month and a half for Augusta and living up to his first round selection. His two RBI and home run led Augusta to a win to start their series. […]
In the offseason, the Braves knew that there’d be some issues with Sean Murphy’s availability. They signed Jonah Heim on February 10. That move turned into 45 PAs for Heim, where he ended up barely above replacement thanks to A) one big game at Coors Field in his final outing with the team and B) […]
Despite the fact that the Braves were back in town and riding high following a successful road trip out West, there was still a bit of a somber feeling at the ballpark ahead of their series opener against the Chicago Cubs. That’s because this was the first time where the organization would be able to […]
The Atlanta Braves announced a series of roster moves on Tuesday, and most notably, Sean Murphy is headed to the injured list with a fractured finger. Though he was just placed on the 10-day IL, skipper Walt Weiss said his time out would surpass the 10-day period and likely be around eight weeks. Murphy suffered […]
The Atlanta Braves were riding high after a road trip out west that saw them win a series with the Dodgers. They were faced with a new test when the Chicago Cubs came to town. It just so happens that MLB ranked the Cubs as number one in the power rankings over the Braves even […]
The Atlanta Braves are in the midst of one of their best starts in franchise history. They are on pace for a 110-52 record while leading MLB in run differential after defeating the pre-season World Series favorites and having shown they are clear favorites in a division that has the high spending Mets and Phillies […]
The Braves are back in town following a nine game swing out West and there’s no west for the weary as the Braves will now have to deal with the Cubs. It’s a showdown between the two top teams in the National League and while the Braves will be happy to get Ha-Seong Kim back […]
The Atlanta Braves have had one of the best offenses in MLB, and they will need to lean on it tonight with Grant Holmes struggling as of late. The Braves are third in MLB in barrel percentage, and batted ball events. When you hit the ball with quality combined with hitting it often, it generally […]
What baseball god has it out for Sean Murphy? After a long and windy road that includes his season-ending hip surgery and rehab after, Murph has played four (4) games since returning on May 4. The initial X-rays were fine per Mark Bowman, and Walt Weiss seemed optimistic. But the the catcher’s interference play in […]
There’s not a ton to be gleaned from the Atlanta Braves’ first quarter release, especially since they did not report revenue from BravesVision. No matter. There were a few nuggets in the earnings release and call. There was also confirmation of some items that, if you were reading Battery Power, you should already expect. But […]
Coming off the high of a successful west coast trip capped off by winning the series against the Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves will once again play one of the hottest teams in MLB when the Chicago Cubs come to town. The Cubs have had two separate ten game win streaks and a fifteen-game win streak […]
This post is, I suppose, only really relevant to the subset of you that has MLB.tv and has interest in watching non-Braves games. If that’s you, how do you decide what non-Braves game to watch? My answer is Stream Finder, which was once called Game Changer and was created by folks associated with Baseball Gauge, […]
After winning the weekend series in Los Angeles versus the Dodgers in one attempt to prove they are the National League’s best team, the Braves get a chance to further validate that claim against the Cubs to start the week. The Cubs have been the hottest team in baseball, and will likely prove to be […]
What a week for Braves country, huh? Two major deaths, almost back-to-back, of notable icons, starting with Ted Turner and shortly after, Bobby Cox. The Braves took the series win against the two-time national champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers. And, surprise surprise, their pitching is holding up solid. There’s a lot to talk about regarding […]
It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Atlanta Braves. Despite today being an off-day, they’ll have little time to come down from their big statement series-win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They’ll be coming home to welcome in the high-flying Cubs who have also gotten off to a very […]
