Latest news and updates about the Braves
It’s March 30 and the Braves are 2-1. That may not seem like the most impressive thing until you consider that it took the Braves until April 8 of last season to pick up their second win of the season and April 10 was when they finally picked up their first series win. Folks, we […]
The season is underway — and the Royals are already giving fans plenty to talk about. In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down the Kansas City Royals’ season-opening series against the Atlanta Braves, including a detailed look at the series finale win and what it reveals about […]
The season is finally underway and it’s always fun to talk about a winning series to get things going, right? It certainly beats the stuffing out of the way last season started, right? Anyways, it was truly exciting to be in the building for Opening Night on Friday and it was even more encouraging to […]
The game started like the first two for the Royals, scoreless innings. However, a leadoff walk in the third to Jac Caglianone started the scoring. Nick Loftin would hit into a double play, but the Royals would successfully overturn the out call at first base. So, they still had a runner on first with one […]
Well, if you were hoping for a similar result as last night’s game, where the Atlanta Braves would rally late in the ninth to get ahead, today wasn’t that day. The Kansas City Royals have avoided getting swept by the Braves, winning their first game of the year to cap off Opening Week with a […]
Coming into the 2026 season, the Royals had a lot of hype and enthusiasm surrounding them, from the fans, local media and even the national media. I think it’s fair to say that two games into the season, a lot of that enthusiasm and excitement has dissipated. A shutout on Opening Day and a blown […]
The velocity problems that had plagued Royals closer Carlos Estévez during spring training carried over into his first appearance of the regular season on Saturday, and may cost him his closer’s role, according to manager Matt Quatraro. After Estévez gave up six runs in the ninth inning in a 6-2 loss to the Braves, Quatraro […]
The roster has been released for today’s series finale against the Kansas City Royals. The Atlanta Braves are looking to complete the first sweep of the season on this early afternoon start, as the Royals are determined to put a stop to it. Notice any names that stick out in today’s lineup? Well, after reading […]
Saturday’s minor league recap involves just one game, as Triple-A is the only level that has started so far, with the rest of the full season leagues getting under way next week. So that means there was only one game in the Atlanta Braves system, and we got a throwback performance from the 39-year-old Carlos […]
Well the Braves are 2-0, on a breezy complete victory on Opening Day and an epic walk-off grand-slam on Saturday. Before the walk-off, it was reassuring to see Reynaldo Lopez’ velocity back up in the mid-90s and his stuff generally looking good. I remain highly skeptical of his durability, but he looked the part of […]
We have a game coverage guide here. It kindly suggests that recaps be started in the sixth or seventh, to make sure they go up in a timely fashion. I never pre-write, due to a very specific game in 2018 against the Orioles (if you know, you know). The tenor of this recap would’ve been […]
The best part about starting the season a day later than almost everyone else is that we don’t have to wait through an off-day to get the taste of a dud out of our mouths. Sure, the Royals had a pretty awful offensive game paired with a mediocre pitching effort in last night’s match, but […]
The Braves look for their first series win of the season, while the Royals look to score a run and get their first overall win. I kinda hope neither of the latter happens, for obvious reasons.
After a 6-0 thumping of the Royals in the season opener, the Braves will deploy their perhaps more-standard, righty-pitcher-facing lineup in Game Two. This means Mike Yastrzemski takes over in left field and the five spot, while Dominic Smith slots in at DH, hitting eighth. The cast of characters for the Royals is pretty similar […]
Given that Reynaldo Lopez missed nearly all of the 2025 season, I’m sure no one was really looking forward to a reality where he was the Braves’ de facto number two starter. Nonetheless, that reality is here: Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep went down with substantial injuries earlier, and then Spencer Strider hit the shelf […]
Winning Opening Day at home is fun. Hey, Opening Day at home is fun all by itself. First Opening Day win at home since 2018 and that Nick Markakis home run. The Braves needed to rally from down five runs that day. But they controlled last night from the jump. Chris Sale got double plays […]
Opening Day in Cobb County couldn’t have gone any better for the Atlanta Braves if they had scripted it themselves. I’d imagine that every team in baseball would absolutely take a 6-0 win to start the season — especially if that win saw the team succeed in nearly all facets of the game. Walt Weiss […]
The Atlanta Braves began the 2026 season on a high note after Friday’s 6-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. Ozzie Albies, Drake Baldwin, and Michael Harris II joined in on the fun and each homered. Together, the Braves recorded 11 hits and capitalized on the Royals’ weak spots. On the other side of the […]
It has been one of, if not the most asked question of the off-season: “How can I watch the Atlanta Braves this year?” If you are rising from a Winter hibernation, ready to join the land-of-the-baseball-living just in time for Opening Day, here’s the executive summary of what has happened with Braves’ broadcasts since that […]
The long winter has finally ended. Baseball is back. And while we got to laugh at the misfortunes of nearly half the teams in the league yesterday – seriously, Oneil Cruz seems very badly miscast as a centerfielder – it’s finally our turn to fret about our own team’s foibles. Let’s play ball! Today’s starter […]
Hello and welcome to the Atlanta Braves Lineup, Opening Day (Night) 2026 Edition. For your perusal this fine March evening, we have entrees such as “Jonah Heim is on this team?” and “Eli White hitting sixth.” To be fair, the Braves are making the best of their situation, but both Heim and White will likely […]
Hours before Opening Day 2026, the Atlanta Braves announced a multi-year agreement with DIRECTV to carry their new network, BravesVision, making Atlanta Braves games available through the satellite provider within the Braves’ home markets. That region includes Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and western North Carolina. BravesVision can be found on channel 645 and […]
Last year the Braves suffered their first losing season since 2017, dropping 86 games amid a myriad of injuries. New manager Walt Weiss is hoping for better health this year, but the team is already missing catcher Sean Murphy, infielder Ha-Seong Kim, and pitchers Spencer Strider, Spencer Schwellenbach, and Joe Jiménez to begin the season. […]
Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves is finally here and they will actually be playing a home game. The last time they had a home game to open the season was back in 2022 against the Cincinnati Reds where Max Fried gave up five earned runs, resulting in a loss. Today they will be taking […]
There’s another television vendor that will be carrying BravesVision. An actual cable-like streamer, FuboTV, is part of the BravesVision family. FuboTV and Braves has agreed a multiyear partnership to carry BravesVision, the Braves’ owned and operated network. BravesVision will be available for the customers in Atlanta’s television footprint, which contains Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, […]
