The National League East has been a two-team race for most of the season, and with August now behind us, the same largely rings true. The last time the Braves were not first in odds to win the division, according to FanGraphs, was April 8th. There was minimal movement during the month of August, and […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to stop a two game skid and secure a win against the Washington Nationals behind Grant Holmes who could surpass 130.0 innings on the season with his start today.

After the new kids led the Nats to a 9-5 win last night, they have a chance for a mini sweep in this two game set against the Braves. It will not be easy, but the Nats are playing solid baseball lately and get a major weapon back. This has been a good home stand, […]
After a dominating 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks last night, the Phillies have won 15 of their last 17 games and are in search of their fifth series sweep of three or more games in their last six series. They are currently the top wild card team and suddenly just three games behind the Braves […]
When the Atlanta Braves swept the Dodgers it resulted in them having the most wins against teams above .500 in MLB, but they have since lost two games to sub .500 teams. The lineup has been one of the main reasons why there has been this rollercoaster of losing games that the Braves should win. […]
After winning seven straight games, to include sweeping the Dodgers, the Atlanta Braves have lost two games in a row to subpar opponents. With the Phillies on their tale, the Braves need to win games that they are supposed to win to keep the lead, and the game today against the Nationals is one of […]
Amid their series with the Nationals, the Braves announced several roster moves. Blake Burkhalter, who made his MLB debut last night, has been optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett. In his place, Elieser Hernández joins the active roster, and to make room on the 40-man, the Braves have designated Hayden Harris for assignment. The #Braves today […]
The Braves announced Wednesday that they’ve designated left-hander Hayden Harris for assignment. His spot on the 40-man roster goes to righty Elieser Hernandez, whose contract has once again been selected from Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta optioned just-promoted righty Blake Burkhalter to Gwinnett to open a spot on the active roster. Burkhalter made his MLB debut last […]
It was an all-around ugly performance from the Braves yesterday. AJ Smith-Shawver was below average. Blake Burkhalter, making his MLB debut, didn’t look like someone who should garner much trust moving forward. And the top of the Braves’ lineup faltered multiple times with runners in scoring position. If there was one positive, it’s that Ha-Seong […]
The Philadelphia Phillies began their season at 9-19 and decided to fire their manager. Now, the team has turned around, and the Phillies are dreaming of a World Series run.

Not so much a question, more of a rhetorical one… Yesterday’s 9-5 loss to the Nationals featured this: Sadly, that xwOBA is all too familiar for this crew — you have to go back to July 29 for the Braves to have an even amount of above-.300 and below-.300 xwOBAs, and it’s not like .300 […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that they have selected the contract of right-hander Blake Burkhalter and infielder Kyle Farmer.

He entered in the bottom of the […]
Nobody is experiencing the highs and lows of baseball right now quite like the Atlanta Braves. They began August with an eight-game win streak — the longest of their season — then followed it with one of their most dismal two-week stretches of the year, before rattling off seven wins in a row. Now they’ve […]
It’s September and it feels like we’ve been waiting a lifetime for this 2026 Braves team to put everything together. Glimpses of dominant pitching and barrages of offensive power have rarely coincided for long stretches. After a frustrating loss to the Giants to finish out August, the Braves similarly squandered opportunities and fell to the […]

Past summaries: On August 15, the Braves were enjoying an 8-5 month. They then had more or less the road trip from hell, only to return home and sweep the Dodgers and keep it going with another sweep of the Rockies right after. In total, they went 9-6 over August’s second half. That .600 winning […]
There has been plenty of discourse surrounding the Atlanta Braves‘ lack of significant transactions, both during the offseason and leading up to the trade deadline.
