In the process, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman further etched their name into the history books. With a six-run lead by the fifth inning, Chicago was able to cruise to victory despite a late Atlanta rally. Both Crow-Armstrong [...]

When the Chicago Cubs offense is clicking—like it was Wednesday night at Wrigley Field against the Atlanta Braves—it seems like the team is an unstoppable force and that all of their pitching deficiencies might be overcome by sheer force of hitting will.

The Cubs took two of three from the National League East division-leading Braves at Wrigley Field, winning the series. Once again, likely NL MVP Pete Crow-Armstrong led the Cubs offense with two home runs and a triple, but as has often been the case this season he’s had company with another teammate having a big […]
Earlier this week after Monday’s 4-1 road victory against the Cincinnati Reds, the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a playoff berth for the fourteenth consecutive season, an all-time record that ties them with the Atlanta Braves who accomplished it from 1991 to 2005. A large part of the Dodgers’s success this season has been how good their starting rotation has been. The team has an enormous amount of pitching depth which means they are constantly sending elite starting pitchers to the bump day-in...

Coming off a series where the Braves mostly sewed up the NL East by taking two of three from the Phillies, they then departed on a road trip consisting of the final part of their September gauntlet. The first part of that road trip had them go up to Wrigley Field to face the Cubs, […]
I think it bears repeating as the Cubs split their season series with the Braves. The Cubs won the season series from seven teams, including the Dodgers, Phillies, Padres and Diamondbacks. They split the series with four teams, including, now, the Braves. They lost the season series to only the Cardinals and Brewers. Are the […]
When Chris Sale arrived in Atlanta, he seemed on the last legs of a “What if” type of career. After amassing just 151 innings over his final four seasons with the Boston Red Sox, the southpaw fell out of favor with the organization and fan base. Consequently, he found himself an Atlanta Brave in 2024. While still uber-talented, the questions surrounding his health remained. Fast forward nearly three full seasons and, while those health concerns still play a role, he’s nearly bucked them entire...
It wasn’t exactly a banner day for JR Ritchie or Owen Murphy last night, as both got knocked around by the Cubs. Ritchie was coming off some really dominant outings in Triple-A, but that didn’t translate at all. They’re also not the only somewhat-promising arms that have floundered for the Braves this year. Ritchie has […]
The Cubs took advantage of the Braves deciding to save their ace Chris Sale for their weekend series against the Astros. Instead, Atlanta sent minor-league callup J.R. Ritchie to face the Cubs. The Cubs had hit Ritchie pretty well when they faced him in Atlanta in May and they did so again Wednesday evening at […]

The most unfortunate turn of events this season — and a primary reason why so many are concerned with the Braves’ rotation entering the playoffs — is the lack of contributions the club has received from its young starting pitching. Entering the season, Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep, AJ Smith-Shawver, JR Ritchie, and Owen Murphy were […]
The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for another postseason push. With their magic number at this point being two, Atlanta is very likely heading to the postseason.

JR Ritchie had a rough outing Wednesday, going 4.2 innings with 6 runs allowed, 2 homers, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. The strikeout number was at least respectable, but he continues to look like a fringe major league starter at best, despite having looked like a new pitcher over the last period in the minors […]
Dubón and Acuña had a nice night with the bat, but it was not enough as the Braves lose by four. Sep 17, 2026, 2:30 AM UTC The Atlanta Braves took on the Chicago Cubs today in hopes of clinching a playoff spot. It would have required them to win and then get some help with hoping either the Diamondbacks or the Padres lost. JR Ritchie was called up to pitch the game to give some extra rest to the rotation and try to prove his recent performance in AAA where he had twenty-four strikeouts to only...
Chicago Cubs slugger Pete Crow-Armstrong made more history Wednesday night in an 8-4 win over the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field.

CHICAGO – Pete Crow-Armstrong has joked in the past that he has not put up the best numbers when the Wrigley Field crowd unites in chanting his initials. That perceived trend has not continued with the new chants that roar through the Friendly Confines these days. When Crow-Armstrong was in the batter’s box in the seventh inning Wednesday night, the calls of “M-V-P! M-V-P!” were already gathering steam. A few seconds later, as the Cubs’ star center fielder rounded the bases after his second ho...
