Earlier today, we discussed the big news of the day from Walt Weiss’s press conference where he stated that Drake Baldwin would be the starting DH for Friday’s Opening Day game for the Atlanta Braves. I also mentioned that that wasn’t all he talked about, as he spoke at length about his thoughts on the […]
It appears that the cable pieces of the Braves television distribution are starting to fall into place. The News always comes down in a navy blue image with white text on it, so this is definitely a big deal. The Atlanta Braves and Xfinity aka Comcast have reached a deal to carry BravesVision, the Braves’ […]
Earlier today, new manager Walt Weiss spoke with the media ahead of his debut as manager of the Atlanta Braves. We’ll have more to talk about later as far as quotes from him (and Chris Sale and Matt Olson as well) but for now, the biggest news of that presser is that we got a […]
Folks, it’s Opening Day — for 26 other ballclubs, at least. The Atlanta Braves still have to wait their turn until Friday, which is when they’ll hopefully be able to open up the season by doing some damage against the Kansas City Royals. Ronald Acuña Jr. is going to be starting in right field for […]
I’ll save the big kahuna question for the Braves’ Opening Day, which is tomorrow. Today is Opening Day for most other teams, so we’ll go with this no-stakes variant. Normally, I’m pretty excited for Opening Day. Baseball season has a great rhythm, and I look forward to transitioning into it every year. That said, I […]
Well we now have a waiting game for the Braves’ regular season to start. We did get to see Max Fried have a good start in the first game of the regular season (which was on Netflix and was weird). The Braves’ roster is really rough compared to what we thought it would look like […]
This is a weird post. I’ll just go ahead and get that out of the way. And then I’m going to head into a brief-ish aside. I used to generate a lot more content. On the rare occasion I interrogate this fact, the subsequent thoughts fall into a few camps. One is that, well, I’m […]
Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves may be a couple of days away but since it’s technically the first day of the regular season for baseball as a whole, now is apparently the perfect time to reveal the official 26-man roster for Opening Day. A lot of the drama surrounding the Opening Day roster went […]
Well folks, today is Opening Day. Now granted, it’s only for two teams, it’s a night game and it’s on Netflix of all platforms, so it’s basically like Week 0 in college football. Sure, tonight’s game between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants counts and everything but it’s not the same as […]
With the season looming and the parade of bad news from Spring Training (despite the Braves being 2026 Spring Training champions, heh), I wanted to throw this out there as a question that you, ultimately, will be scored and evaluated on. Chances are, you have strong opinions on this topic; here’s your chance to get […]
The Atlanta Braves reunited with right-hander Osvaldo Bido after claiming him off waivers from the New York Yankees. Though he has yet to formally suit up for Atlanta, 30-year-old Bido was previously claimed by the club in December and designated for assignment 10 days later. This spring, he’s appeared in seven games, recorded one win, […]
The Atlanta Braves will inducted former manager Brian Snitker to the organization’s Hall of Fame on April 25, 2026. The third winningest manager in franchise history with 811 regular season victories, Snitker also led the team to the 2021 World Series championship – the organization’s first since 1995. Snitker, who joined the organization as a […]
For Atlanta’s last Spring Training game of 2026, the Braves had Grant Holmes on the mound and a potential Opening Day lineup preview on the hitting side. Holmes looked pretty good to start the game, even as some bad BABIP luck and a walk caused his second inning to be cut short and brought a […]
The Braves made a roster move on Tuesday, claiming RHP Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Yankees. To make room on the roster, the Braves added LHP Joey Wentz to the 60-Day IL. This is the result of Wentz tearing his ACL a few weeks ago, which will cause him to miss all of 2026. […]
Well it’s here: the last game of Spring Training, as the Braves open their regular season on Friday in Atlanta against Kansas City. Grant Holmes gets his final spring tune-up, wrapping up what has been a strong and healthy spring for Grant. There was much concern about his health, given that he was shut down […]
With the 2026 Spring Breakout Series coming to an end, MLB Pipeline released their All-Spring Breakout Teams, with a pair of Atlanta Braves prospects making the first team. John Gil made it as the third baseman, which is the position he played in the game, while Garrett Baumann was one of six pitchers selected to […]
I don’t know how to make this post any longer, because for whatever reason, Charter/Spectrum decided to announce this news with a weird tweet-of-an-image with no details. Now, you have to gaze at it too. There are no details, whatsoever. This was probably going to happen at some point this week given that Opening Day […]
I had a mild heart attack after searching for Lucas Giolito news. Not going to repeat it, but the robots believe a signing has occurred already. There’s no reason to feed the algorithms any further. If content farms are going to wish something into existence, then let me tell you about Shohei Ohtani opting out […]
Once again, the Braves were dealt some bad news Monday. Spencer Strider will be out to the start the season with an oblique injury. While the Braves hope he misses just a few weeks, oblique injuries could take a month or more to come back from plus rehab time. Jose Suarez and Martin Perez could […]
The Atlanta Braves took on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, FL today in their second to last Spring Training game. We got to see the continuation of Didier Fuentes’ fantastic spring, but it was not due to good circumstances. Spencer Strider was initially supposed to start this game but was scratched due to an oblique […]
The Atlanta Braves are taking on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, FL as Spring Training is coming to a close. Originally Spencer Strider was supposed to be getting his final tune up, but we got the unfortunate news that he will be starting the season on the IL with an oblique strain. With Strider being […]
Hey. Hey! I thought today was when we were gonna talk about the Braves Are Doomed, Reynaldo Lopez Edition. Then this happens. Not too much more to say, really. Injured List, meet Spencer Strider. Spencer Strider, meet the Injured List. Oh, what’s that? You’re already acquainted? In fact, you were already acquainted in these exact […]
If you paid attention to Sunday’s Spring Training game (and to be honest, why would you?), you knew this was coming. Despite the fact that the Braves are relying on him to be useful, Reynaldo Lopez is very much a wild card heading into the 2026 season, which begins in earnest this week. Lopez was […]
Results were not kind to Reynaldo Lopez in his final Spring start on Sunday. His velocity was down while the Twins production at the plate was up. Lopez has seen mixed results this Spring, including less than ideal velocity on his fastball. While there are no reports of injury, it is fair to wonder how […]
It’s a good thing that it’s still spring training and not the regular season because this was the type of performance that would’ve resulted in a very rough outing for Reynaldo López had it come in a game that counted. Instead, it’s something to think about with the regular season on the horizon as López […]
