Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Just officially a month away from the Atlanta Braves’ opening day, the team’s offense is showing glimpses of high intensity and promise that fans are hoping will carry over into the regular season. Taking the win (15-8) against Boston, they’re ending the first full Spring Training week on a high note and ready to build […]
This story contains references to sexual violence and harassment and may be disturbing to some readers. Just 17 days after he was hired as the Falcons’ assistant defensive line coach, LaTroy Lewis has been fired by the team after a report surfaced that he was accused of rape in Michigan, according to Darko State News. […]
Another day, another Spring Training game day for baseball fans. After dropping a game yesterday’s performance to the Yankees with Carlos Carrasco on the mound, the Braves are set to face the Red Sox with a more competitive squad showing up, with Ronald Acuña Jr. batting leadoff, and a newly girded ace, Chris Sale, ready to […]
The run-up to the start of the NFL’s 2026 league year is underway. The new league year begins on Wednesday, March 11th, at which time all teams must be under the salary cap, trades can again be executed, and free agents may begin signing contracts with new teams. However, a few pieces of the puzzle […]
The NL East could have several strong teams this year. The Phillies appear to be in win-now mode. The Mets have made major changes. The Braves should recover from a down year in 2025. Even the Marlins could make some noise. The Nationals? Well, they are here. Atlanta Braves Key departures: Jarred Kelenic, Marcell Ozuna, […]
A quick one, off a stray thought. When the Braves ran out their lineup of regulars-ish a couple of days ago in a home Spring Training contest, Mauricio Dubon was hitting ninth, even behind Jonah Heim. Two days before that, Dubon was hitting ninth behind Aaron Schunk, of all people. It’s early in Spring Training, […]
For the second time this week, the Atlanta Hawks squared off against the hapless Washington Wizards in front of their home fans at State Farm Arena. After beating Washington handily on Tuesday, Atlanta delivered an equally emphatic 126-96 victory last night — though with Jalen Johnson (left hip contusion) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (left foot sprain) […]
The Atlanta Braves went to Tampa on Thursday and returned with a 7-3 loss to the New York Yankees. Carlos Carrasco got the ball and lasted just 1.2 innings. Though his outing was short, he surrendered four hits and five runs. He struck out one and surrendered a base on balls. Offensively, the Braves recorded […]
The Washington Wizards lost to the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, 126-96. The first half of this game was tough to watch. Washington allowed Atlanta to head into halftime with a 76-56 lead. I get that the Wizards aren’t going to be very good this season. But that margin and the total number of points the […]
Not going to lie, this was such an uncompetitive game against a clearly tanking team that I have nothing to recap. Corey Kispert had 22 in the first half and a career-high (!) 33 points overall. Newbies CJ McCollum and Jonathan Kuminga added 25 and 17 respectively. Please discuss the win amongst yourself.
The Atlanta Hawks (29-31) try to make it a clean sweep of a home-and-home against the Washington Wizards (16-41) without Jalen Johnson or Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

The Washington Wizards play the Atlanta Hawks at 7:30 p.m. tonight at State Farm Arena. Watch the game on Monumental Sports Network.
The main offseason talking point concerning the Yankees has concerned the phrase “running it back.” Is it a good thing? Is it the greatest misstep in franchise history? Well, a nearly Opening Day-vintage Yankee lineup looked more than ready to do damage this afternoon, as they plated five runs in the first inning en route […]
The Braves didn’t really intend to make Thursday afternoon’s exhibition contest in Tampa a competitive one — they sent a bunch of backups as their position player contingent, gave Carlos Carrasco the start, and had a pitching slate of “guys who complete innings because the regular crew can’t add a full month of workload to […]
Almost a full week into Spring Training, the biggest story coming out of the Yankees’ camp has been starting pitching. Each of the first six games of the Grapefruit League schedule have seen impressive performances from a starter—from Elmer Rodríguez posting three scoreless frames on the first game of the spring last Friday to Ryan […]
It’s Spring Training Game Thread time again. Double wooooo. It’s kind of weird that Carlos Carrasco is “starting” again, but I guess we’ve had enough games now, and every other actual rotation-member other than Spencer Strider has made their 2026 Grapefruit League debut. The Braves are clearly not sending any of their regulars on the […]
New Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham needs to make bold moves to get the Falcons out of their rut. And one of the boldest he could make is moving on from tight end Kyle Pitts this offseason. It’s already been announced that Pitts will be franchise tagged. That makes sense, given that he’s coming […]
Dominique Wilkins needs no introduction around these parts. His jersey hangs in the State Farm Arena rafters after a Hawks career that saw him total nine All-Star Games and seven All-NBA appearances. So when he speaks, you listen. If you’ve been living under a rock, a lot has happened with the Hawks this season. Trae […]
Despite the woes for rotation depth early this offseason, there is quietly a lot of competition for the back of the bullpen. Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, Dylan Dodd, Hayden Harris, and James Karinchak all had strong outings out of the bullpen Wednesday, with Harris and Karinchak looking especially impressive. The Braves have four bullpen locks […]

Pirates fans saw their first glimpse of the 2025 National League Cy Young winner on Wednesday afternoon. Paul Skenes took the mound for the first time in 2026 against the Atlanta Braves in North Port, Florida. It’s the only game Skenes is scheduled to pitch for the Pirates before joining Team USA for the 2026 […]
The Braves and Pirates tangled in Grapefruit League action on Wednesday afternoon, and the Braves came away victorious by a 3-1 score, taking advantage of rusty-ish Paul Skenes in the process. Let’s get the key performances out of the way first. Bryce Elder was, well, Bryce Elder. Especially the kind of Bryce Elder he appears […]
After four seasons as a special teams ace and occasionally electrifying receiver on offense, KhaDarel Hodge will play somewhere else in 2026. The Atlanta Falcons will release him soon, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. Hodge, 31, joined Atlanta in 2022 as a less-than-heralded addition to their special teams and quickly made himself a fan favorite. […]
It’s Spring Training Game Thread time. Wooooo. It’s the very “fun” matchup of Paul Skenes and Bryce Elder, but really, it’s an early Grapefruit League tuneup for both arms. This game is one of the Spring Training games broadcast on Gray TV, and should be available via MLB.tv as well, regardless of where you are. […]
