Latest blog entries from Atlanta teams across every league
Cam Caminiti had a matchup with Jesus Made and the Biloxi Shuckers in his first taste of Double-A action, and he rose to the challenge nicely with a solid start. Caminiti’s pitching helped the Clingstones stay in position for a walk-off win. In Single-A Davis Polo kept his magnificent run of pitching going with six […]
The Braves don’t really know what they want to do at shortstop. It’s been that way for almost a half-decade, but the good news right now is that at least they have options. Rookie Jim Jarvis did enough to win the starting job while Ronald Acuña Jr. was out. Acuña’s absence forced Mauricio Dubon into […]
The Nats playoff dreams got buried this week with a 1-7 road trip against the Braves and Phillies. These veteran laden squads taught the young Nats a lesson and showed they were not ready yet. In a season where the Nats have taken so many steps in the right direction, winning against divisional foes remains […]
There might be some debate about the top overall prospect in the Braves system, but there’s none when it comes to the top pitching prospect. That title has belonged to Cam Caminiti since the start of the season, and with Didier Fuentes and JR Ritchie graduating from prospect status, there isn’t even a close second […]
Tonight, the Braves will face Max Fried for the first time ever — they missed facing him when the Yankees visited Atlanta last year. (The three games in that series involved a bullpen game, a Will Warren start, and a Marcus Stroman start.) Fried’s been a Yankee for about a season and a half now, […]
After back-to-back nights of the pitching staff carrying the Braves to wins over the Marlins, the offense decided to make it easy on them, exploding for eleven runs on a night that ended with Miami subbing in a position player to pitch. Ronald Acuña Jr. led the way with a couple of home runs. They […]
While the Yankees didn’t as much as a lot of people hoped at the trade deadline, they still made a couple moves, and also called up top prospect George Lombard Jr. That being said, they still haven’t looked that different early on. The Yankees dropped two of three in their series against the Cardinals. The […]
The Atlanta Braves have won their eighth straight after Thursday’s 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins. Between a solid outing from Martín Pérez and a 14-hit night for the Atlanta lineup, things went well all around. Despite the rain delay, the Braves were able to complete the sweep of the Fish and earned their 70th […]
The Atlanta Falcons sport the second-longest active playoff drought despite being within one or two games of a playoff berth for several years in a row. It’s become second nature for people to blame those shortcomings on the handful of things that seem to go wrong each year and cost them one or two games. […]
Baseball is a funny game. It’s hard to win a lot. You win seven straight, sweep one team, win a series against another, Martin Perez is on the hill, it’s rainy — you figure, no one can win ‘em all, we’ll get ‘em tomorrow, we’re in a good place, yadda yadda yadda. Well, turns out, […]
Every single time I clone the game coverage posts and for the game thread I don’t even have to erase Martin Perez’ name. Sigh.
49ers 49ers waived WR Colton Dowell. 49ers signed G Kion Smith. Bengals Bengals activated TE Josh Kattus from injured reserve. Bills Bills signed LB Otis Reese. Bills placed LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles on injured reserve. Cowboys Cowboys claimed TE Zack Kuntz off waivers from the Raiders. Cowboys placed TE Princeton Fant on injured reserve.

Buccaneers Buccaneers GM Jason Licht was asked when he would expect DT Vita Vea to start participating in practice or facing fines if he doesn’t, and Licht said Vea is dealing with a minor back injury that they don’t want to further escalate. (Greg Auman) Licht doesn’t have a timetable for Vea, and they don’t […] The post NFC Notes: Vita Vea, Bijan Robinson Contract Details, Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers, Saints appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
With the unfortunate injury to Jalon Walker, other pieces of the defense will have to step up to alleviate the loss of his versatility and athleticism. According to Bleacher Report’s Top 99 defensive players ranking, the Atlanta Falcons secondary is loaded with talent to handle the loss of Walker and possibly James Pearce Jr., and […]
The Braves rotation is getting pretty crowded. Not necessarily with frontline guys, but with plenty of options to give them innings. Bryce Elder and Grant Holmes were fantastic to begin the week. AJ Smith-Shawver should rejoin the club in less than two weeks, and Reynaldo Lopez could be back around that time as well. Lopez […]
The Detroit Lions have been in contract extension talks with Jahmyr Gibbs throughout the offseason. With Bijan Robinson signing a deal with the Atlanta Falcons and Jonathan Taylor agreeing on a contract with the Indianapolis Colts, it is now Gibbs’ turn. Reports indicate that the 24-year-old ball carrier signed a $67.5 million contract extension with […] The post Lions’ Jahmyr Gibbs resets RB market with $67.5 million contract extension appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Several All-Stars, from Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams to Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies, grade out among the luckiest hitters in MLB.
There are three critical pieces the Braves are hoping to get back at some point before the postseason — AJ Smith-Shawver, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Robert Suarez. Smith-Shawver has already made his season debut for the major-league club after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May, and most recently turned in a really strong appearance for the […]
Atlanta Braves star reliever Robert Suarez is recovering from a forearm injury. The Braves are closely monitoring his injury status. Atlanta is hoping to have him available for the postseason at the very least. Mark Bowman of MLB.com recently provided an update on Suarez’s injury recovery. “He’s still feeling a little soreness. Walt (Weiss) said […] The post Braves’ Robert Suarez injury recovery plan for having him ready for playoffs appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Somehow, Martin Perez and I are inextricably linked in the shimmering web that is the universe. It could be worse, perhaps. The Braves are on quite a roll, having won seven in a row. They’re also on quite a run prevention stretch as part of this winning streak (and a little beyond). Since letting the […]
This week in the NFL has been stuffed with new contracts being handed out to the league’s best. Specifically, the running back position has been getting PAID. Early Thursday morning, it was reported that the Colts and Jonathan Taylor agreed to a new two-year, $44 million extension. This came on the heels of the Falcons […]
Winning in the modern NBA takes time, and the recent moves from the Hawks and Suns confirm they're prepared to wait.
During Wednesday night’s win for the Atlanta Braves over the Miami Marlins, it was certainly interesting to see one of this team’s strategies successfully work out when it came to dealing with Eury Pérez. Two moments in particular came to mind. The first one happened in the second inning. After Ozzie Albies coaxed a walk […]
Keaton Wallace - Atlanta's main backup point guard in the early portion of last season - has signed a deal overseas, to the surprise of no one.
The Miami Heat may have finally landed their much needed 1A superstar in Giannis Antetokounmpo. But the competition in the Eastern Conference has suddenly emerged as stronger than ever this offseason. Between LeBron James and Jaylen Brown’s arrivals to the Philadelphia 76ers, Kawhi Leonard’s (pending) return to the Toronto Raptors, the Atlanta Hawks two-way wing […] The post Bam Adebayo says Heat are ‘going to go for it’ as an underdog contender in the East appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - ...
