Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
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).

The Atlanta Hawks secured a victory on the first outing of their four-game West Coast road trip, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 105-102 on Monday night. Vit Krejci poured in eight three-pointers en route to a career-high 28 points (9-for-13 shooting, 8-for-10 from three) to lead the way for Atlanta. Kristaps Porzingis added 20 points […]
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 […]
Braves Franchise History 1995 – Gaffney Street, near the former site of Braves Field in Boston, MA, is renamed Harry Agganis Way, after the former Boston University and Boston Red Sox star, who died during the 1955 season. 1996 – John Smoltz, who won a major league-high 24 games for the Atlanta Braves, wins the […]
Heck Yes. Drake Baldwin is the 2025 NL Rookie of the Year. After a stellar first year in the majors (statistically one of the best by a rookie catcher over the past half century), Baldwin earned 21 of the 3o first place votes, beating out fellow finalists Cade Horton of the Cubs and Caleb Durbin […]
The Atlanta Hawks overcame a 17-point deficit behind an unexpected hero Monday night, as Vit Krejci erupted for a career-high 28 points to lift the Hawks to a thrilling 105–102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome. The win marked Atlanta’s second straight, as they have gone 5-2 in their last seven games. […]

Baldwin received 21 first-place votes and 183 points. Horton received the other nine first-place votes and a vote total of 139. First baseman […]
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 […]

After bringing up young players like Brice Turang, Sal Frelick, and Jackson Chourio in recent years, the Brewers had another feature in this year’s Rookie of the Year in Caleb Durbin. Earning a regular spot from the get-go, Durbin’s campaign placed him among fellow National League finalists Drake Baldwin, the catcher for the Atlanta Braves, […]
For the 10th time in Atlanta Braves franchise history and for the third time since 2018, the National League Rookie of the Year is an Atlanta Braves player. Drake Baldwin joins a list that includes Earl Williams in 1971, Bob Horner in 1978, David Justice in 1990, Rafael Furcal in 2000, Craig Kimbrel in 2011, […]
The Atlanta Braves seem primed to add long-time Minnesota Twins coach Tommy Watkins to their coaching staff per multiple reports. Dan Hayes of the Athletic was first to report the news earlier this afternoon. As Aaron Gleeman of the Athletic noted, Watkins had been with the Twins for 27 years. Reporting on the Braves side […]
When the schedule came out months ago, the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons’ game immediately caught my eye. Berlin is a city many travelers dream about visiting and for one who appreciates history and the Colts, it was a no brainer. With plenty of time to arrange finances and develop an itinerary, the trip was set. […]
Will the snap counts illuminate this week, or only deepen our confusion and frustration? Let’s find out! Offense Michael Penix Jr.: 63 Jake Matthews: 63 Kyle Hinton: 63 Ryan Neuzil: 63 Elijah Wilkinson: 63 Drake London: 62 Chris Lindstrom: 62 Kyle Pitts: 58 Darnell Mooney: 57 Bijan Robinson: 54 David Sills: 31 Charlie Woerner: 25 […]
How Acquired The Braves drafted Colby Jones in the 13th round of the 2024 MLB Draft out of a Florida JUCO. Jones was an Alabama commitment who was known more as a sum of all parts gamer type of player with some speed. What Were Expectations? There weren’t a ton of expectations for Jones this […]
How Acquired The Braves signed Didier Fuentes as an international free agent from Colombia in the 2022 class. Fuentes was hardly the headliner in that class, as he received a more modest $75k bonus in the class that was headlined by Diego Benitez. What Were Expectations? Expectations were high for Fuentes in 2025 coming off […]
In 2024, the Braves used a journeyman reliever named Jimmy Herget for a grand total of eight appearances and 12 1/3 innings. In 2025, the Braves used a journeyman reliever named Kevin Herget for a grand total of one appearance and one inning. In 2026, maybe they won’t use any Hergets, or maybe they’ll hire […]
The Los Angeles Rams now hold a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft as the Atlanta Falcons lost their fourth straight game. There is still a lot of uncertainty when it comes to which quarterbacks are going to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft. However, this past weekend was a good test when it […]
8-2, after an ugly, hard-fought win. Travelling to Europe is always tough, and the Colts managed to go into their bye-week with a win that helps put away the ghosts that appeared after the loss to the Steelers. There were some other games with results that favor the Colts, as the Steelers and the Bills […]
Another week, another heartbreaking Falcons loss. This should feel better. The Falcons put a lot of good stuff on tape, including another big game from Drake London, a massive game from the Falcons’ pass rush, and a bit of a resurgence from the Falcons’ run game in a losing effort. Despite that, we are tasked […]
Look, the Braves are nothing if not loyal… for the most part. One thing they’ve loved to do in recent years? Bring back old friends for a last, or even not-so-last, hurrah. Off the top of my head, I can think of getting Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson back at the 2024 Trade Deadline, the […]
