Monday was a rare time where the Braves made some costly mistakes that lead to a 5-4 loss to Seattle despite the Braves being up 4-0 at one point. Atlanta had some bad early luck despite plenty of loud contact, but finally connected for 4 solo home runs to seem firmly in control of the […]
Every Star Wars Day (May the Fourth, in case this particular branding hasn’t been pounded into your skull) produces the same opportunity to lay the story of the baseball game over the Star Wars leitmotif. Last year we had an uninspiring 8-1 loss to the Rangers where Zach purposefully trolled by mixing up Stars War […]
The Braves saw their winning streak come to an end on Monday night in Seattle, falling to the Mariners, 5-4, despite hitting four homers and leading 4-0 at one point. Walt Weiss has been terrific this year, but his very questionable decision in the sixth inning turned the game upside down. With the Braves up […]
Just a few hours after designating backup catcher Jonah Heim for assignment, the Atlanta Braves announced a trade to the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations. With catcher Sean Murphy ready to be activated from the IL, it was Heim who found himself as the man left out from the 26-man roster. There was discussion […]
The Atlanta Braves just can’t loose a series, and they intend to keep it that way. The Seattle Mariners are sitting third in their division and hoping to turn their season around before the halfway mark, starting by taking down the MLB record-leading Braves. Tonight’s showdown will feature JR Ritchie kicking off near his hometown. […]
The already injury-plagued Mariners took another hit today as it was announced lefty Gabe Speier is going on the IL with left shoulder inflammation. LHP José Suarez, who was recently claimed off waivers from the Braves, has reported to the club to take his place. Additionally, the Mariners recalled lefty Josh Simpson from Tacoma and […]
You’ve read that right, Sean Murphy has been reinstated from the IL to the Atlanta Braves’ roster after returning from his rehab assignment with the Gwinnett Stripers. This, in turn, led the club to DFA Jonah Heim. Murphy has seen productive numbers while on rehab, driving in 4 runs, leading the team with 8 hits […]
Coming off a sweep on the road and clinching their eight-straight series win, the Atlanta Braves continue to lead the MLB with the best record, and make it their best start to the season since 1892. This series against the Seattle Mariners shouldn’t warrant any different results. 2026 is the year of the Rookies, and […]
The young forward didn't make Atlanta's upcoming decision any easier with the way he played at the end of the Knicks series.
The Mariners stunk it up real bad at home against the Royals and now have to face one of baseball’s hottest teams in the Atlanta Braves. Should be fine, right? Both of these teams are banged up pretty badly so we might as well do an injury roundup for both teams: The Mariners will remain […]
Good morning! It’s time to put that Kansas City Royals series behind us, as the Mariners prepare to host the Atlanta Braves tonight at 6:40 PM. Logan Gilbert will start off the three-game set against RHP JR Ritchie. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Sunday was a busy day on and off the field for the Braves, but an overall really positive day. Atlanta was able to get the win over the Rockies, as Spencer Strider was a bit shaky in his first start of the season. The Braves swept the Rockies, mainly thanks to elite offense to continue […]
Legendary sports announcer John Sterling, best known for his more than 35-year career as a New York Yankees announcer, has passed away at age 87. Sterling was most notable to Atlanta Braves fans as one of the team’s announcers from 1982 through 1987 and is best known to many for his call of the infamous […]
Free agency and the NFL Draft bring a host of new players to the Atlanta Falcons, with new opportunities abounding for new additions. That does mean that some incumbent Falcons are going to have to fight for their jobs this summer, however, and some might have a very uphill sort of battle to wage. Here […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Joe Borowski, and a mighty host of others. He probably doesn’t like Star Wars, either. Today in baseball history, in 1963, Bob Shaw of the Milwaukee Braves sets a major league record by committing five balks. In the third inning, Shaw walks Billy Williams and sends him home with three straight balks. […]
The 2025-26 season for the Hawks is now in the books, and now focus turns to the status of the upcoming free agents and a head coach who is entering the final year of his contract. Among the free agents is veteran scoring guard CJ McCollum who will turn 35 this offseason. His play down […]
The Atlanta Hawks traded for Jonathan Kuminga at the deadline, but they have immediate work to do to sort out his future.
As long as baseball continues to be played at altitude in Coors Field, there will be the potential for a whole bushel of runs to be scored in any given game. With the Atlanta Braves running as hot as they have to start this season, there was plenty of potential for the Braves to put […]
The Atlanta Braves are currently one of both the best and hottest teams in baseball, and the Colorado Rockies couldn’t stand in their way. The Braves came into Coors Field and successfully swept the Rockies in three games, winning the Sunday series finale 11-6 as their excellent offense took advantage of basically every mistake and […]
After letting a sweep slip through their hands on Thursday, the Braves heaped another hurting on the Rockies, scoring 11 runs en route to a blowout win in Spencer Strider’s 2026 debut. Let’s start with Strider, because besides “yeah this offense rules” and some interesting bullpen stuff, this game felt like a fait accompli at […]
The Atlanta Braves announced that pitcher Jose Suarez was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners and reliever Joel Payamps was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Both pitchers were designed for assignment by Atlanta on May 1. Suarez had pitched in six games with the Braves, making one start and collecting one three-inning save. He struck […]
With Ronald Acuña Jr. now on the Injured List with a hamstring issue, the Braves are reshuffling their lineup. Notable change #1: Mauricio Dubon is now the leadoff hitter. Notable change #2: with a lefty on the hill, Jose Azocar gets the start in right field. The rest of the lineup is kind of as expected […]
A wild postseason has come to an end for the Atlanta Hawks, setting them up for a great run next season.
Another series, another series win, and another chance for a Braves sweep. After winning a series with some late-inning heroics back in Atlanta and then letting the Tigers salvage the final game, the Braves have once again taken a series with the help of a roaring comeback and will go for another sweep on Sunday […]
I didn’t really know (or care to know) anything about Anthony Molina before this week. The only really notable thing about him is that he pitched in the Colorado Rockies organization. The Braves have a thing for Rockies relievers. He doesn’t really strikeout anybody (career 15% K rate), had a 6.82 career ERA, and didn’t […]
