Braves hit four homers but drop series opener in Seattle, 5-4

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 […]

Braves trade catcher Jonah Heim to Athletics

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 […]

Braves vs Mariners Game Thread (May 4)

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. […]

Sean Murphy returns to Braves’ lineup in Seattle

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 […]

JR Ritchie gets the start in Seattle vs the Mariners

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 […]

John Sterling, former Braves broadcaster, dead at 87

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 […]

Falcons 2026 roster: Who is on the bubble after the draft?

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 […]

Chicago Cubs history unpacked, May 4

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. […]

Rumor Roundup: Quin Snyder, Hawks working on extension?

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 […]

Braves 11, Rockies 6: Sunday Scaries

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 […]

Jose Suarez claimed by Mariners, Joel Payamps outrighted to Gwinnett

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 […]

Braves seek sweep on Spencer Strider Sunday

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 […]

Is Anthony Molina an interesting reliever?

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 […]
