Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
(This is not a Big Board question, because the contours are too vague to penalize people for being “off.”) By the by, it appears that Alex Anthopoulos spoke to reporters yesterday. While I haven’t seen a broad summary of his remarks, we have teeny-tiny snippets like: If you take it at face value, this suggests […]
Braves Franchise History 1923 – The Boston Braves acquire outfielders Casey Stengel and Bill Cunningham as well as shortstop Dave Bancroft from the New York Giants in exchange for pitchers Joe Oeschger and Bill Southworth. 2015 – The Braves trade shortstop Andrelton Simmons and catcher Jose Briceno to the Angels in exchange for shortstop Erick […]
The Atlanta Falcons have a bunch of problems right now. At least one of them can’t be fixed in the moment—the run defense is only going to improve when Divine Deablo, LaCale London, and Sam Roberts are back, and then only modestly—but their offense feels like it can be salvaged. What does that salvage job […]
The Atlanta Braves officially announced their finalized coaching staff on Tuesday. Tommy Watkins, Dustin Garneau, Darnell Coles, and Tony Diaz rounded out the major league staff. Watkins will serve as third base coach, Garneau takes over as catching coach, Coles joins as assistant hitting coach, and Diaz comes aboard as a major league coach. The […]
With a chunk of the season complete, it’s time to take stock of a pair of assets for this upcoming offseason. The Hawks sit at 6-5 despite losing Trae Young in the fifth game of the season due to a knee sprain. It will take time to write the story of this season on the […]
Round two of Carolina. Hopefully this round goes better than the last! The Atlanta Falcons are trying to rally from four straight losses, and they’re back to facing just their third NFC South opponent of the season. If there’s any hope of pulling out of their current spiral, they have to win basically of their […]

A lot when down today for a holiday. Drake Baldwin won the Rookie of the Year, and the guys have some great analysis about who might be available with the pick that comes with it. The Braves fleshed out their coaching staff. I mean whatever, I guess we’re walking and bunting now. There were three […]
How was he acquired? Atlanta chose Bagwell out of Collinsville High School (Ga.) in the 6th round of the 2024 draft, using the 191st overall selection on the righty. As a result, Bagwell received a signing bonus of $822,500, which was significantly over-slot for his draft position, in order to keep him from his commitment […]
The Falcons delivered another competitive effort against one of the AFC’s finest in Week 10, but were ultimately undone by continued struggles on offense. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down the film from the Colts game, including the struggles of Michael Penix and the passing game, the emergence of Jalon Walker and James Pearce […]
How was he acquired? Drafted by Detroit in the 11th round of the 2023 draft out of the University of Alabama, Atlanta acquired Jarvis in a trade for Rafael Montero at the trade deadline. Expectations for 2025 Seeing as though he was acquired via trade halfway through the season, the expectations for Jarvis were relatively […]
The Atlanta Braves have finalized their coaching staff for the 2026 season with new manager Walt Weiss. There is a lengthy press releases to announce the moves, but here’s the I-can’t-read-size-six-font version. Tim Hyers will return for his second year as hitting coach, as expected. It was an uneven first year under Hyers, but the […]
In Week 11 (Sunday at 1 p.m. ET), TE Kyle Pitts and the Atlanta Falcons will play the Carolina Panthers, who have the 15th-ranked pass defense in the league (211.8 yards allowed per game).

For multiple seasons now, whenever someone in the Atlanta Braves bullpen struggled, or even when they didn’t, we’d hear a familiar refrain: “When will they call up Hayden Harris? Why hasn’t Hayden Harris been called up yet?” Well, the second one is hard to answer, but the answer to the former was apparently “late in […]
Drake Baldwin has won the 2025 NL Rookie of the Year Award after a lovely season that saw him play a major role in helping to make sure that the boat that was the 2025 Atlanta Braves didn’t capsize completely. It’s tough to imagine where the Braves would’ve been without him holding down the fort […]
Stock Up Jonathan Taylor Not like his stock could be any higher, but Taylor continues putting numbers that make him worthy of that MVP award. Almost 300 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns against a really tough front, and instrumental in the Colts getting their 8th win of the season. It is not only that, but […]
The Atlanta Falcons have lost four in a row, and The Falcoholic is still forcing me to find three nice things to say every week (please help, they have my family). Here’s the Week 10 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jalon Walker Walker didn’t stuff the stat sheet like last week, but his […]

Heck Yes. Drake Baldwin is the 2025 NL Rookie of the Year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, Major League Baseball’s foremost authority on the Rookie of the Year award, didn’t exactly have a memorable campaign on the subject in 2025, but still found a way to sneak at least one player into the voting poll. Jack Dreyer received two top 5 votes in the National League, with Braves […]
