As expected, Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will miss the entire 2026 season after his PED suspension was upheld following an appeal. The ban covers 162 games and also renders him ineligible for the postseason. Major League Baseball announced earlier this month that Profar tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. This marks his second violation, as […]
Okay, so we’ve got to talk about Didier Fuentes. I think everybody here knows by now that spring training results should usually be taken with a grain of salt. The level of competition can vary from “everyday big league starter” to “ Guy who is really hoping to make it to Double-A this season” and […]
Earlier this month, Jurickson Profar shocked the baseball world with his incredibly foolish decision to take Performance-Enhancing Drugs the year after he had been suspended for 80 games in the past. Upon failing another test, Major League Baseball suspended Profar for the entirety of the 2026 regular season and Postseason. However, the MLBPA did their […]
As we close in on Opening Day for the 2026 season, now is a time to start to take a look at some of the prospects who have seen their stock rise this spring within the Atlanta Braves system. Making this list isn’t just based on what we have seen in spring training games – […]
Now that the WBC is over, back to your regularly scheduled attempts for me to come up with a relevant question to pose every weekday morning. But hey, at least today, I have a good one. Earlier this week, Eric Longenhagen snagged for FanGraphs, of all places, an exclusive regarding additional rules changes that MLB […]
Didier Fuentes is doing his best to make his case for the Opening Day roster, as he is lighting up the radar gun and opposing hitters this spring. He has currently pitched 9.0 scoreless innings with 17(!!!) strikeouts and 0 walks, which is just preposterous stuff even in a small sample against varied levels of […]
It won’t be until mid-April that the Atlanta Braves face the Philadelphia Phillies again. What started as a pretty underwhelming showcase today with the Braves turned into a late win (3-2) as the lineup couldn’t manage a hit to get on the board until the bottom of the seventh inning where Michael Harris II hit […]
With the Spring Breakout just three days away, the Atlanta Braves have announced the finalized version of the roster that will be a part of the exhibition. It was back on March 5th that the Braves announced the full 40 man roster so let’s take a look at those that made the cut and will […]
Welp, folks, that’s the end of the 2026 World Baseball Classic that almost all baseball fans could not only enjoy, but also feel the electric energy from the participating teams and kick off baseball season. Congrats to Ronald Acuña Jr. and team Venezuela on a phenomenal and first WBC win. The Atlanta Braves are back […]
We already had this confirmed directly to us, but hey, have a very long press release: Basically, Brandon Gaudin and C.J. Nitkowski are coming back as the main booth lads, Jeff Francoeur will be there when he feels like it (a 30-game commitment), while Wiley Ballard and Paul Byrd will chip in from the sidelines. […]
Well, it’s over now. Venezuela wins, Team USA is the runner-up once again, Japan shockingly wasn’t in either of those prior clauses, and we’re stuck with Spring Training for about another week. Did this WBC change your opinion of the event? Was it better, or worse, than you expected? I was pretty meh on the […]
The Atlanta Braves turned in mixed pitching performances on Tuesday, with Spencer Strider and Reynaldo López each partaking in spring festivities. In North Port, Strider faced a lineup full of Boston Red Sox minor leaguers. He threw five innings and surrendered a run. His fastball touched 96MPH, but he stayed around 93-95MPH. In Fort Myers, […]
We have a new World Baseball Classic champion to add to the list of winners of this now-prestigious tournament. It also just so happens that the current face of the Atlanta Braves helped to push the team and his country to the winner’s circle. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Venezuela completed their dark-horse run by taking […]
It’s here! We’ve arrived at the World Baseball Classic Final and while one team was absolutely expected to be here, the other team is looking to cap off a dark horse run to a WBC title. Team USA was clearly one of the favorites to win this thing and they’ve held up their end of […]
If you enjoy seeing the Atlanta Braves uniforms being adorned with a bright-yellow bag of concrete on the left-hand sleeve then I have some news that is relative to your interests. If you’re a fan who was hoping for another company’s logo to grace the sleeves (or if you’re a purist who doesn’t want to […]
The Atlanta Braves faced off against the Boston Red Sox as spring training is winding down with Reynaldo López taking the mound against arguably the best lineup he has faced since his injury. The Red Sox brought in most of their starters, and the Braves brought mostly hitters fighting for final bench spots. The Braves […]
Once again, the AL Central isn’t looking like the strongest division in all of baseball. With that being said it’s definitely an interesting one. There’s only one team that seems completely hopeless, while the other four have varying degrees of realistic hope and hope that’s feasible but may require some of the optimistic delusion that […]
The Atlanta Braves are in their final countdown of their excellent spring showing and Reynaldo López looks to continue his ramp up before hopefully being a key member of a Braves 2026 rebound. López has looked good this spring in his 9.0 innings pitched. He has only allowed six hits, and one earned run so […]
Ronald Acuña Jr. had some PAs he probably wishes he could re-do, but came through with a game-tying infield single, extending a two-out rally that propelled Venezuela past Italy and into the finals. Venezuela 4, Italy 2. Italian center fielder Jakob Marsee was all over the top of the first, robbing Acuña on a hard smash and […]
Once again, Monday was a reminder that many parts of the Braves offense have been on fire so far this Spring. Drake Baldwin had another outstanding showing in the Braves Spring Training Victory over the Rays. Ronald Acuna Jr. was a big reason as to why team Venezuela will be facing Team USA in the […]
Come watch Ronald Acuña Jr. and the rest of Team Venezuela attempt to fend off the apparently-omnipotent Team Olive Garden. Winner gets to play Team USA in the final tomorrow, loser gets to cry into their pasta al sugo or pabellon criollo, as the case may be.
Well, the Atlanta Braves Grapefruit League Offensive Barrage keeps on truckin’, as the Braves are now 16-5 after a blowout 11-2 win over the Rays. They basically bonked Nick Martinez for four innings, and then bonked some Rays relievers/roster hopefuls for more runs later. The bonking started early — Mike Yastrzemski doubled to lead off […]
While much of Braves Country were watching the snow this morning, the Atlanta Braves made a Spring Training move. The Braves sent Aaron Schunk and Brewer Hicklen to minor league camp today. Schunk gives them infield depth at the minor league level, but not a ton more. Aaron had 131 somewhat forgettable plate appearances with […]
It’s time for the Braves to once again play the Rays in Spring Training. Why? Because the schedule does not care. Chris Sale will get yet another tune-up against Rays fill-ins and minor leaguers, while Nick Martinez has to deal with basically the Braves’ regulars. And hey, look, this game is on BravesVision. That’s kind […]
Opening Day isn’t until next week. What can we do while the Braves put their roster together? Personally, I’m going to figure out my NCAA bracket. Beats working, that’s for sure. Want to join us? We have a tournament bracket every year. If you want to spend three minutes (or three days) playing along, please […]
