The Atlanta Braves are playing quality baseball at the moment. It seemed as if they were one of the losers at the MLB trade deadline, but that may not be the case.

The Braves jump back into the top five in this week's FanGraphs Power Rankings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers do not look unstoppable right now. Will the Dodgers find their rhythm in the playoffs and make another deep postseason run? The chances of that happening remain high, but, at the moment, the Dodgers are stumbling in our MLB Power Rankings while the Atlanta Braves are moving up.

Two series sweeps, a six-game win streak, and a lot of momentum to face the San Francisco Giants… can Bryce Elder continue this run for the Atlanta Braves? Elder is currently boasting a 3.95 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. His last start against the Dodgers didn’t go well, with eight hits allowed and three earned […]
The regular season is winding down and the Atlanta Braves are in pole position to get back on top of the NL East as champions once again. With that being said, there’s still no coronation being planned as there will be seven games in September alone between the Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies and due […]
A seven-game win streak has the Braves’ playoff odds looking much more encouraging than they did a week ago. They’re right back in the thick of the race for a first-round bye and the top overall seed in the National League, but at the same time, the NL East crown is far from a sure […]
The Dodgers took their lumps on the road, dropping four of six games in Atlanta and Detroit. Most importantly they dropped all three games to the Braves, squandering the lead the Dodgers previously held over Atlanta for the race to one of the top two seeds in the National League postseason. Offense was the key […]
Injuries have been a problem in Atlanta over the last several seasons, but nobody has been plagued more than the Braves’ young pitchers. That unavoidable truth took another nasty turn over the weekend, when it was announced both Hurston Waldrep and Spencer Schwellenbach will go under the knife again. Waldrep will have Tommy John surgery, […]
It’s crazy how quickly things can change in Major League Baseball. A week ago, it felt like the Braves’ entire season was slipping away.

It was an absolute action-packed day down on the farm, as all four teams in Atlanta’s system put up a respectable day both on the mound and at the plate. (67-64) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (58-72) Louisville Bats 5 Box Score Despite attempting a late-inning comeback, Gwinnett ultimately came up short, losing by one run on […]
I have strong feelings about this that will be its own separate post at some point, probably this week. But, what do you think? We’re five-sixths-ish of the way done with the season on a calendar month basis, and the Braves are very good in terms of record… but the way they’ve gotten there has […]
Good morning baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, and it’s gonna be a busy one on the road. First up, the Giants will head to Atlanta to make-up the June 18th game against the Braves this afternoon. After that, they’ll head north to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in a […]
If there is one thing about the Atlanta Braves, they currently enjoy dramatic baseball. Fortunately, they also enjoy winning baseball. Matt Olson provided the latest chapter with a walk-off hit to earn the Braves a 3-2 victory and a series sweep over the Rockies. Tyler Mahle once again looked fantastic, while both Sean Murphy and […]
With the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers squaring off for three games, followed by the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees going head-to-head for a four-game series, last week's MLB slate gave fans a taste of playoff atmosphere.
What a difference a week makes, right? Around this time last week, the Atlanta Braves were looking to simply get the train back on the tracks by salvaging a win from a series loss against the Brewers. They’d lost three full series in a row and the Phillies were red hot. It was getting too […]
The Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves wrapped up their season series today, one that was tilted fully in favor of the Braves. Atlanta took all six games, first sweeping a series at Coors Field back in May with 8-6, 9-1, and 11-6 wins, before breaking out the brooms again at Truist Park this weekend. The […]
The Atlanta Braves once again left it late but they still got the job done and were able to break out the brooms one more time. Thanks to a Matt Olson RBI single in extra innings, the Braves are now winners of seven-straight games following a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. This time, we […]
Colorado Rockies center fielder Cole Carrigg will be out of the lineup for "a couple days" after he turned heads during Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Braves by giving the middle finger to fans at Truist Park.
Alright, folks! The Braves are going for a second sweep in a row in order to keep things going in the right direction heading into September. Can Tyler Mahle continue getting it done on the mound, himself? Will the Rockies continue nipping at Atlanta’s heels during this series? It’s time to figure it all out, […]
Break out those scrambled eggs and mimosas, because we’ve got brunch baseball on deck this Sunday morning! The Colorado Rockies (52-84) are in a tough spot as they try to avoid being swept at the hands of the Atlanta Braves (81-55), a team looking for back-to-back sweeps after taking three against the Los Angeles Dodgers […]
The Braves have re-added Sean Murphy and Ha-Seong Kim to the lineup, with Murphy moving up to the seventh spot: Murphy made his season debut hitting seventh, but has largely hit eighth or ninth since his most recent reactivation from the Injured List. With Mauricio Dubon in left field, Mike Yastrzemski gets a “day off.” […]
Saturday’s action in the Atlanta Braves system was headlined by another dominant outing from Daniel Brooks for Rome. The other big story is the fact that Eric Hartman crossed the 50 stolen base mark, and kept going. Same story for Luis Guanipa, though it was the 40-steal mark for him. We also got homers from […]

There’s whiplash-inducing, and then there’s whatever the Braves have done in August. The month started with five wins in a row, the bulk of an eight-game winning streak. Then there was a stretch where the Braves won just one of five series, including suffering a sweep at the hands of the Twins. But, they’re reeling […]
