Latest news and updates about the Braves
It probably goes without saying that our collective enjoyment of the Braves would be higher the last few seasons if we didn’t have so many “the [player name] saga,” but, unfortunately, we do. The Reynaldo Lopez saga is definitely a saga, at that, and it’s one that’s had a number of developments lately, what with […]
The Atlanta Braves opened their West Coast road trip with a bang after Thursday night’s 17-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Atlanta lineup racked up 16 hits, and for the first time since 2001, every member of the starting lineup recorded an RBI. It was a successful night for the pitchers, too, who allowed […]
In what quickly became the most lopsided game of the season, the Braves struck early and often against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Thursday night en route to a 17-2 win. The Braves are now 5-2 on the young season, It took until game 17 last year to win five games. Matt Olson […]
Reynaldo López and the Braves are looking for their third consecutive series-opening win against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks. More on the pitching matchup here and today’s lineups here. First pitch is scheduled for 9:40 pm ET. We are entering real sicko hours (for us on the East Coast). But unfortunately for me, seeing Wiley […]

Let’s play four in Phoenix. For the third straight game, Walt Weiss has penciled in the same lineup. (And for the second straight series, the Braves social team has used “New series on deck” as the accompanying copy…) I’m mostly interested who, if anyone, plans to step up offensively. Reigning ROY or not, Baldwin can’t […]
This opening weekend and homestand have felt especially sweet after last year’s nightmare start. Drake is raking, TBS-era Braves enjoyers are eating good with the newly revealed City Connects and various BravesVision homages… and the Braves aren’t climbing out of an early season deficit. Let’s hope the good vibes made the team plane headed West. […]
Gwinnett Stripers (2-3) 6, Round Rock Express (1-4) 3 Box Score Gwinnett picked up their second win of the season on Wednesday as JR Ritchie rebounded from what was a shaky start to his season in the process. in his first start of the season last Friday, Ritchie struggled with his command, which led to […]
We’ve got a roster move that fell through the cracks a little bit but still needs to be talked about since it affects the depth of this squad. Back around Opening Day, infielder Brett Wisely was designated for assignment once it was clear that he wouldn’t be making the team. That was all the way […]
Watching the Braves’ first six games of the year, it’s hard to really seize on any one thing that cements their identity as distinct from other teams, or the Braves teams that have come before. Not that these things have to come in the first six games, and sometimes, even if they do, it’s not […]
He lands on every Astros fans list of top historical moments. Game 4 of the 2005 NLDS lasted 18 innings until Chris Burke walked off the Braves with a 338 shot to left field. This is the second installment of our Legends Series. Q: How often are you asked about that moment? A: I don’t […]
If you look at the current Diamondbacks’ win-loss record, you could say that the season is going according to expectations, although, all truth told, the Diamondbacks do not necessarily have an easy start of the season with the World Series champions in our first series, a 2025 play-off team in our second series and a […]
We were reminded of three people we are lucky to have on Wednesday: Chris Sale, Drake Baldwin, and Matt Powers. Chris Sale wasn’t his best self and had a major velocity dip to start the game, but he worked through 6.0 innings of 1 run ball to deliver a series victory for Atlanta. Drake Baldwin […]
4-2 sure beats the crap out of 0-7, right? Indeed, the Atlanta Braves have gotten their season off on the right foot following a successful homestand to get things going. Atlanta took the opening series with two straight wins over the Royals to start things off and now they’ve kept things going in the right […]
Not much to write home about here after yet another series dropped to begin the 2026 campaign. Luis Severino took the bump. His second start of the season, following an outing on opening day where he pitched…fine. Across five frames against the Blue Jays he gave up 2 ER while striking out three. Everything would […]
Rise and shine everyone! We got an early one today as the Athletics wrap up their first road trip of the year. Toronto was not kind to us but Atlanta has been a bit better after yesterday’s first victory of the year. Another win today and we’ll also have our first series win of the […]
Only the Gwinnett Stripers are in action to open the week, and coming off of a terrible opening weekend they were in need of a big game in Round Rock. Jim Jarvis gave them a lift in the first inning, and behind good pitching by Lucas Braun they were able to squeak out an extra […]
Happy Wednesday A’s fans! News flash: the Athletics return to Oakland and catapult to the top of the American League. April Fools!
