Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Down 2–1 and stinging from back-to-back one-point losses, the Knicks return to Atlanta for a pivotal Game Four needing to clean up their own mess. Despite controlling the glass and large stretches of play, late-game breakdowns, uneven free-throw shooting, and questionable rotations have tanked winnable games. Jalen Brunson has yet to take over the series, […]
Zack Wheeler is back, but can he bring the mojo back to the team as they look to avoid an 11th loss in a row? Time will tell! Will anyone be watching this game with the Flyers Game 4 starting at 8:00pm? Time will tell! Lineups: Braves:
Your Atlanta Hawks (2-1) try to build upon their last two clutch wins in a row and take a stranglehold of the series against the New York Knicks. Jock Landale (right high ankle sprain) has been ruled out. Starting lineup: Please join in the comments below as you follow along. Where, When, and How to […]
The Braves go for another series win against the Phillies, as Bryce Elder takes the bump facing off against Zack Wheeler in his first start back from injury. Wheeler has been somewhat diminished in his rehab starts, so we probably shouldn’t expect the prime Zack Wheeler. You can read more about the pitching matchup in […]
With a game 1 win in the books, the Braves maintain the top record and run differential in MLB so far this season. They will now have two chances to secure a series win over Philadelphia and the Phillies have now lost 10 straight. This is an important game for the Phillies, as their ace […]
A year after taking Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick, Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek went back to the running back position and drafted Arkansas’ Mike Washington in the fourth round. The Raiders traded up for the second time in the fourth round Saturday as they sent the Atlanta Falcons the […]
The Falcons pledged to add draft picks and avoid selling off future year selections, and they’ve followed that to this point. Now a trade has added another 2026 selection. The Falcons moved back from pick 122 in the fourth round to 134, adding 208 in the process from the Raiders, who picked Arkansas running back […]
The Falcons come into the final day of the draft with three selections. The hope is that they leave with either additional draft selections over the next couple of seasons or three talented reserves with some upside, though greedily I will take both. We’re rounding up all of today’s selections for the Falcons right here, […]

The Falcons are working on finalizing their draft class as the draft hurtles toward its end. Here’s a list of their picks. Pick #231: OL Ethan Onianwa, Ohio State For the second straight draft, the Falcons close things out with an offensive lineman. Despite his size—he’s 6’7” and 331 pounds—most analysts think he’s ticketed for […]
The Atlanta Falcons made a big move in the 2025 NFL Draft, trading up for a pass rusher to bookend their earlier selection at the position. The Rams packaged two 2025 picks in exchange for three picks from the Falcons, with one of those picks being in 2026. Now that the pieces of that trade […]
The Knicks head back to State Farm Arena for Game Four against the Hawks, down 2-1 in their first-round playoff series. New York must find a way to stop the bleeding after dropping two straight one-point losses, including Thursday’s 109-108 bummer in Game Three. The Knicks can still win the series, but you’re forgiven for […]
The Atlanta Falcons have talked about building the trenches and did quite a bit of that work in free agency, but their first draft picks did not address those needs. Instead, they went for players who could be viewed as the best players available at a pair of needs further away from the line of […]
The Atlanta Braves began the homestand on a high note and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3. For the first time in 19 years, the Braves have now won four straight over the Phillies to open a season. It was a solid night from both the lineup and the bullpen, but once again, Michael Harris II […]
Zachariah Branch can haul ass. His 40 time tells the tale, but I’m more interested in what he did in terms of yards after the catch. At Georgia, he was a screen pass monster who routinely turned modest targets into big gains. Forget the size for a moment and focus on what you can do […]
It was a second straight heartbreaker as the Philadelphia Phillies (8-18) blew two leads en route to their 10th straight loss and fourth within that span to come at the hands of the rival Atlanta Braves (19-8) by a score of 5-3 on Friday Night Baseball. Andrew Painter made his fifth career start, his second […]
What a way to start a homestand. For those of us not in the sellout crowd on Star Wars Night, the crisp Apple TV cameras captured the first win of the season in the red uniforms. Atlanta remains a perfect 3-0 in Friday home games. Grant Holmes threw 89 pitches to go six and earn […]
By selecting Avieon Terrell, the Atlanta Falcons declared that their cornerback corps needed an upgrade despite their stated intent to build the trenches. In hindsight, the fact that the Falcons made no real attempt to add to a cornerback corps that had some concerns even as they plunged resources into the trenches and the offensive […]
It’s a big night for the Braves partnerships team tonight… Apple TV has the broadcast, and Star Wars Night at the ballpark. I wish I could muster even a little bit of a reference for you, dear readers of Battery Power, but this is one of my cultural blind spots. And at this point, I’m […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Braves: Let’s talk about it.
So, we ended up getting some interesting nuggets of news from the pregame press conference that Walt Weiss has before every home game. There’s one bit of concerning news, one bit of hopeful news and then something that seems obvious but it’s good to hear confirmed. Let’s start with the concerning news, shall we: Michael […]
After yesterday’s injury scare and early exit, all looked well and truly precautionary for Michael Harris II. He was slated to bat fifth and play center in the lineup released by the Braves earlier this afternoon. Unfortunately, Grant McAuley has reported that Michael Harris II has been scratched and is day-to-day with that left quad […]
Braves and Phillies again. Grant Holmes vs. Andrew Painter again. Not on BravesVision again. So here I am, reheating my own nachos. In the time we’ve been apart, the Braves took three out of four against the very pesky Nats to conclude a 6-1 road trip. The boys will return home to Cobb County with […]
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft was an eventful one, particularly for trades. There was a run of trade-ups near the end of the night, which begged the question for those teams without a first-round pick: would it be wise to consider a trade-up? It was a question I asked Falcons fans after […]
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]
