Dubon flip-flops with Harris at bottom of lineup as Braves go for another series win
Well, first these two teams took forever to get the lineups posted, and then I got snowed under by work, so now, I get to dump the Statcast graphic here for both lineups. Yay. The “big” change for the Braves is flip-flopping Mauricio Dubon and Michael Harris II. This is the first time that’s happened […]
Bryce Elder looks to get pitching back on track in rubber game
Braves’ run prevention was really good coming into this series. Through Sunday’s win over Cleveland, the Braves had a league-best 59 ERA-, a sixth-in-MLB 89 FIP-, and a pedestrian 99 xFIP-. The pitching performance was just okay, but a combination of favorable HR/FB stuff (yay, the universe owes them for last season) and top-three defensive […]
Dominic Smith delivers big moments for the Braves in April
If you do it once, it’s a fun (and in this particular case, heartwarming) story that we get to enjoy in the moment before moving on to the next thing. If you do it twice, then we’ve gotta talk about it. That’s what Dominic Smith has forced us to do after he did the daggone […]
Martín Pérez returns to Braves on a minor league deal
Ah, the veteran DFA process for a player without minor league options has come and gone full circle. In the case of Martín Pérez and the Braves, this situation felt like it went from “Huh? He got DFA’d?” to “Okay, maybe he’ll go through the entire waiver wire and not get claimed” to “Oh. He […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Didier Fuentes struggles early but bounces back
The story of Tuesday had to be a rough first inning for Atlanta Braves top prospect Didier Fuentes. More importantly the way he bounced back in a big way after facing that adversity to give Gwinnett seven solid innings. We also saw Sean Murphy start his rehab assignment, Aiven Cabral pitch a gem, and Herick […]
Braves News: Hayden Harris recalled, Dom delivers, and more
The Atlanta Braves began the day with a roster move that recalled southpaw Hayden Harris to Atlanta and simultaneously optioned right-hander Rolddy Muñoz to Triple-A Gwinnett. The move is a classic bullpen shuffle, and an underwhelming one at that. Muñoz made his first appearance of the season on Monday night, and in two innings, he […]
Dominic Smith gets Braves win in clutch come-from-behind fashion
The Atlanta Braves’ series win-streak isn’t over yet. Applying offensive production was the key to this matchup, and that’s exactly what the team was able to pull off in a clutch performance to win the game 6-5 against the Miami Marlins. The Marlins capitalized in the beginning, starting off the bat (no pun intended) after […]
Braves vs. Marlins game thread: April 14
After allowing a season-high 10 runs in yesterday’s matchup against the Miami Marlins, the Atlanta Braves are looking to approach tonight with a redemption and a momentum boost to push them into the finale tomorrow. Both pitchers are making their first start; a few of the Braves are familiar with Marlins’ Max Meyer’s game, but […]
Spencer Strider will join Sean Murphy on rehab assignment in High-A Rome
As it turns out, Thursday night will be a very good day for local fans in Rome to show up to the ballpark and for Braves fans in general to keep an eye on the Rome Emperors. Walt Weiss spoke with the media before Tuesday’s night middle game between the Braves and the Marlins and […]
Braves lineup ready to redeem themselves in game 2 vs Marlins
A brand new day for another game of baseball. This time, the Atlanta Braves are looking to bounce back from an embarrassing low-run loss in yesterday’s matchup. The rosters have been released. No changes to today’s lineup, as it’s an exact reflection of yesterday. You know what this could tell us? The same roster is […]
Braves option Rolddy Muñoz and call up Hayden Harris
The Atlanta Braves are officially doing the bullpen shuffle. It’s not nearly as glamorous as the Super Bowl Shuffle (kids, YouTube is free) but it’s the type of thing that has to happen in order to keep a season going sometimes. This time, the focus is on two pitchers: Rolddy Muñoz is going down and […]
Will the Braves flip Munoz and/or another reliever off the roster?
Last night was blah. We haven’t seen a “total failure of run prevention” from this team yet, but that’s what it was nearly was last night: two homers, some poor defensive positioning that helped lead to a .452 Marlins BABIP, counterbalanced “only” by a 9/3 K/BB ratio where the strikeouts were mostly accrued when the […]
Atlanta Braves News: Braves drop series opener, Michael Harris II returns, Sean Murphy gets rehab assignment (for real this time)
A busy day in the world of the Atlanta Braves culminated with the team getting rocked on the field Monday night by the Miami Marlins. Despite the Marlins having scored three runs total across the entire three-game series in Detroit, they eclipsed that mark in just five innings in Atlanta. The offense did show signs […]
Atlanta Braves vs Miami Marlins Game Thread
The Atlanta Braves and their scorching hot offense are taking on the surprisingly good Miami Marlins tonight as they look to extend their division lead. The Braves are scoring runs at a pace that only three teams in MLB are doing at a higher rate, and only the Dodgers have hit more HRs. No Braves […]
Michael Harris returns to lineup as red hot Braves offense looks to beat Marlins
It was a win-win for Michael Harris as he was on paternity leave to be with his family, and the Atlanta Braves were able to score a large number of runs while he was out. The Braves’ offense now averages 5.62 runs per game behind only three other teams after the massive 13-1 blowout yesterday. […]
Braves reinstate Michael Harris II, DFA Luke Williams
After missing the last two games of the series against Cleveland, Michael Harris II will return to the Braves a presumably proud papa. We’ll hope that in addition to getting enough sleep, something about the addition to the Braves family changes Harris’ luck. Harris is rocking a yummy-yum-yum .401 xwOBA, but a very sad .287 […]
The Week Ahead for Atlanta: The NL East gauntlet begins
In case you may have enjoyed seeing the Atlanta Braves take a sojourn into the American League by taking on four AL opponents across their first 16 games, I regret to inform you that the interleague tour is coming to an end. As a matter of fact, the next 13 games will not only be […]
Behind the Seams: Inside the Braves’ creative team’s design process for the new City Connect uniforms
The Atlanta Braves debuted their updated City Connect uniforms over the weekend, showcasing a familiar style that combines several classic design elements from the franchise’s rich history. Inspired largely by the 1980s era of Braves baseball, during which time the team’s games were beamed across the country via the wonders of owner Ted Turner’s […]
Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, April 13 edition
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
Atlanta Braves 2026 MLB Draft Mock Draft 1.0
The group over at Overslot Baseball has come out with an interesting and fun new tool ahead of the 2026 MLB Draft, giving us a mock draft simulator to play with, just like there is for the NFL and NBA drafts. I would recommend giving it a try for yourself if you have a few […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Good pitching, better offense common theme throughout organization
(6-8) Nashville Sounds 1, (10-5) Gwinnett Stripers 5 Box Score This game will forever go down as the Jim Jarvis takeover game as the shortstop had quite the impact on the game. In his first at bat of the game he took a 93 MPH four-seam fastball and hit it 395’ at 107 MPH. He’s […]
What heuristic should the Braves use for ABS challenges?
This season couldn’t have started much better for the Braves, at least to date. They are the only team that hasn’t yet lost a series (they did split one, though), they have baseball’s second-best record (behind the Dodgers, tied with the Padres), they’re top ten in both position player and pitching fWAR, and they’re top […]
Braves vs. Guardians series recap: A powerful powder-blue beatdown
Well here we are, folks — our Atlanta Braves are 16 games deep into this season and they are in a pretty solid groove. They’ve dropped at least one game to every team that they’ve played this season but they’ve also taken two games off of every team that they’ve played so far. That was […]
Bottom of the order leads Braves to series-clinching rout of Guardians
The reports of the Braves’ offensive demise were greatly exaggerated. A night after the lineup was blanked for the first time since last July, the Braves awakened with a vengeance, running away with a 13-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians to win their third rubber match of the season. With the victory, Atlanta is the […]
