The Phillies: easy playoff team?

On April 26, the Phillies lost to the Atlanta Braves, 6-2. The lonely two runs scored by the team were thanks to a home run by Kyle Schwarber, but it felt like an exercise in futility. Aaron Nola had given up six runs in the initial two innings of the game, a game that was […]

It’s June 9. Which team’s performance has surprised you the most?

You’ve certainly got choices in what’s turning out to be a weird (weird good and/or weird bad) season for quite a few teams so far. You can even pick the Braves, especially if you were pessimistic about their chances — though the projections weren’t, so that would be a very personal-adjustment-over-baseline-expectations take. The reason why […]

Braves News: Trade Thoughts, 2026 Draft Prospect Rankings, More

Mark Bowman of MLB.com tackled the subject that has grown more popular over the past few weeks: a potential trade of Tarik Skubal by the struggling Detroit Tigers. For the Braves specifically, Bowman concluded that while the Braves would obviously love to acquire Skubal, the high prospect cost for a rental likely does not make […]

Chadwick Tromp Elects Free Agency

Catcher Chadwick Tromp elected free agency over the weekend, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He was designated for assignment by the Braves on Thursday when they acquired Austin Wynns in a minor trade with the Angels. Tromp spent a couple weeks on Atlanta’s active roster. He was called up in mid-May when Drake Baldwin went on the […]

Atlanta Braves off day chat and discussion: June 8

Good evening, folks! I hope everybody’s had a lovely start to their day. The Braves may not be in action but sometimes it’s just nice to take some time to look at the standings and relax a bit. Things are looking good for the Braves and days like this are nice to just take it […]

Reporter mentions 6 starters Braves should pursue in addition to Tarik Skubal

The Atlanta Braves have been rolling right along of late, currently sitting with the best record in the MLB at 45-21 after a sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. The Braves’ pitching staff has more than held down the fort so far this season despite a slew of injuries, with some key players […] The post Reporter mentions 6 starters Braves should pursue in addition to Tarik Skubal appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Braves rumors: Shortstop mentioned as trade candidate before deadline

The Atlanta Braves are going to be buyers before the MLB trade deadline. They have been the best team in baseball this season, and Atlanta will surely look to further upgrade its roster. With that being said, the Braves may look to trade more than only prospects. Mark Bowman of MLB.com recently mentioned shortstop Ha-Seong […] The post Braves rumors: Shortstop mentioned as trade candidate before deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Will 2026 be the greatest Braves pinch-hitting season?

When Michael Harris II pulled off another heroic feat in hitting a game-winning pinch-hit double yesterday afternoon, I remarked that it felt pretty unfair to just be able to plop in a guy having one of the better offensive performances in MLB in lieu of Sandy Leon in a key spot. That also brought to […]

Braves News: Sweep of Pirates, Michael Harris II Heroics, More

Sunday was an extra fun day for the Braves. Heroics from Michael Harris II played a huge part in the Braves 3-2 victory very over the Pirates. This resulted in a sweep of the Pirates, which is notable as the Pirates look to be a playoff contender. Timely hitting and excellent bullpen work continue to […]

Braves vs. Pirates series recap: Hey look, a sweep!

I mentioned in the series recap for the Toronto Blue Jays series that the relative lack of sweeps for the Atlanta Braves in the midst of this excellent season so far was the definition of complaining about first-world problems as far as baseball was concerned. It’s difficult to complain about anything when Atlanta has both […]

Has Pirates Mitch Keller lost his touch?

On a Friday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates lost 6-3 to the Atlanta Braves on the road. With that loss, a new issue is opening up for the team, and the issue is starting pitcher Mitch Keller.  Keller started the game, and he went 4.2 innings allowing seven hits, six earned runs and walking three batters. […]

Braves Minor League Recap: Eric Hartman Goes Yard Twice

Saturday’s big story in the Atlanta Braves system seemed like it would be Tate Southisene making his High-A debut after being promoted earlier in the day – but one of his teammates stole the show, as Eric Hartman knocked two home runs and stole a base to continue his impressive run in Rome. Southisene’s High-A […]

Do you remember the last Braves’ steal of home plate?

Yesterday was fun. The Braves won a game that Braxton Ashcraft started. Dom Smith hit a homer. Austin Riley chipped in with a double. Tyler Kinley pitched a scoreless eighth. And Mauricio Dubon stole home plate. It’s one of those “steal by association” ones, but stealing home can be difficult without doing that. So do […]

Braves News: Eric Hartman, series win, more

The Braves now have two top 100 position-player prospects in high-A Rome. Eric Hartman continues to hit the cover off the ball with a tantalizing power-hit-speed package as a 19-year-old who was taken in the 20th round of the 2024 draft. That seems like incredible value and frankly incredible luck that the Braves still signed […]
