Latest news and updates about the Braves
Wednesday’s three games wrapped up the pool play portion of the WBC, and hurtled us towards the knockout round. Here’s what happened, and how the first knockout round looks like. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: Canada 7, Cuba 2. It was a changing of the guard in this only-winner-advances game, […]
Well, perhaps the two most impressive Atlanta relievers of Spring Training have now been sent to minor league camp, in Hayden Harris and James Karinchak. It seems likely that both will appear in Atlanta this year, assuming Karinchak sticks around long enough to do so as a veteran. They have each been strikeout machines this […]
Earlier today, we received some massive news regarding the Atlanta Braves and the new Braves.TV platform. Shortly after that news broke, we got some more important news on where to watch the Braves during the upcoming season. While the lion’s share of games will be on BravesVision, they also have to make room for nationally […]
At the top line, Spencer Strider looked really good on Wednesday afternoon: four innings, one walk, five strikeouts. When you consider that it was a visiting Rays team, maybe that’s more akin to something expected, but… I thought that this was a nice outing for him. When Strider returned from injury last year, my amateur […]
The life of a baseball prospect is defined primarily in small moments. Over the course of long seasons across multiple years it’s rare to feel that any stand out, or that any stretch of play is particularly pivotal in a player’s progression. However, every year there are some you can point to and see as […]
Now that we are just over two weeks away from Opening Day for the 2026 MLB season, it is time to start picturing what the Atlanta Braves roster could look like. That also includes factoring in which of the Braves prospects have a real chance to reach Atlanta this year, as things stand today, and […]
Hmm… looks like we’re having some backend CMS difficulties. Oh well, no one wanted to read my rambling about stuff anyway.
The Atlanta Braves announced in late-February that their TV network BravesVision was coming our way. This came long with a future promise to announce what the future of their streaming options would be and as it turns out, it’s a familiar one if you’ve been following baseball in recent years. Via press release, the Braves […]
It was a limited slate on Tuesday, but it was an eventful one. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: Japan 9, Czechia 0. I remember seeing the score here yesterday and morning and wondering how Czechia kept the Samurai scoreless for seven frames. Well, Japan had a nine-run eighth, so there […]
The Atlanta Braves dropped Tuesday’s spring contest against the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-0. The bats were quiet, with Atlanta recording just six hits. More so than the bats, pitching was a struggle. JR Ritchie made his first start of the spring and went four innings. He gave up two runs on a single hit. He […]
Braves 0 Blue Jays 7 Nice to see the Jays score some. Early in spring we didn’t seem to be able to score. Dylan Cease was really good. 3 innings, 2 hits, and 3 strikeouts. Reached 97.5 mph on the fastball. Other pitchers: Offense, Starters: Others: The Jays are 7-8 on the spring now. Tomorrow […]
We are still four months away from the 2026 MLB Draft, but of course that doesn’t stop pundits from releasing the first of what will be many mock drafts. Baseball America on Monday unveiled their 1.0 version of the draft, predicting each team’s first-round selections. Among the first 30 picks of this year’s draft, Atlanta […]
After an off-day, the Jays are back at it, hosting the Braves. I’m putting this together Monday night, so I don’t have the lineups. But the Jays have Dylan Cease making his second spring start. I’d guess they would want 3-4 innings out of him. The Braves are starting JR Ritchie, who pitched in the […]
We’re back with Tuesday Spring Training to go alongside your dose of the WBC. Seattle native JR Ritchie will be entering his third game and first start with the Braves after being invited as a non-roster prospect during this Spring Training series. This is an open opportunity for him, especially after the news that LHP […]
Spring Training tends to be silly, and that was perhaps best exemplified by Monday afternoon’s game against the Twins. The Braves won 9-8, but gave up a whopping five homers. I guess a 12/0 K/BB ratio is the saving grace when you give up five homers, but considering the Braves didn’t hit any homers, it […]
As the WBC rages on, the Grapefruit League plods along as well. Today, the Braves will give Carlos Carrasco a chance to eat some more exhibition innings as they give their regulars a few hacks in a home game against the Twins. Minnesota is sending a mixed bag of starters and not-starters, and will be […]
First Pitch (CT): 12:05TV: MLB.TV/ATL Video (via Braves)Radio: Braves – ESPN 103.7/WIFN 1340Know Yo’ Foe: Battery Power What to watch: Zebby Matthews is on the mound in his fight to keep the 5th rotation spot. Mick Abel has had a flawless Spring, but it’s Zebby’s spot to lose. Lineups
A mix of game types happened on Sunday — some close (and maybe surprisingly so), some where a team obliterated another. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: Japan 4, Australia 3. Who had Japan beating a team in pool play by a run or less? After not quite smashing Korea, this […]
On Sunday, the Braves lost to the Rays 9-8 in a game that was no too enjoyable if you like good pitching. Bryce Elder was rocked from the start, while Joey Wentz left the game due to a knee injury (early indications are it is not serious.) Overall, the Braves have got good production from […]
Bryce Elder had a rough one on the mound at Charlotte Sports Park against the Rays, as he ended up conceding more runs than innings pitched in what turned out to be a battle of the bats between the Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay in spring training action. It was clear from the jump that […]
It’s time for another Bryce Elder spring training start, as the Atlanta Braves continue to make their way through the Grapefruit League. For those keeping track at home, the Braves are actually sitting on top of the Grapefruit League standings, which is surely the greatest achievement that this team has accomplished in quite some time, […]
Friday was a day for blowouts. Saturday was a day for comebacks, and featured the first two walkoffs in WBC history. If you’re only here to read about the Braves, well: On we go to the games… Japan 8, Korea 6. These two teams played a bit of a barnburner while you were sleeping. Korea […]
The Braves 2025 season was.. yeah. Let’s go with unpredictable. Not fun for sure. The staff’s predictions was definitely not in the 70ish win range. But we had some decent submissions from last year. I mean, we were on our game. Blame the injuries and the HR/FB monster. Hey, let’s look at last year’s predictions […]
Didier Fuentes looked absolutely dominant on Saturday, drawing 7 whiffs on just 25 pitches and pumping up to 99 MPH with his fastball. He did so, however, throwing only two pitches and throwing his four-seamer 80% of the time. It will be interesting to see what additional pitches he adds to his arsenal this season, […]
One of the oddities of spring training is when you get a split squad and two different sets of Orioles are playing at once. That’s what’s happening here on Saturday, with one set of Orioles staying in Sarasota to play some Twins, and another set of Orioles traveling to the Braves spring home to play […]
