Let’s get after it, y’all! The Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays are in the middle portion of their three game series and the onus is on the Braves to make sure that they don’t end up dropping the series right away. Reynaldo López has returned to the mound and hopefully we’ll see him put […]
Time’s winding down on the 2026 regular season for the Yankees, and their long-stated goal of avoiding the dogfight of the Wild Card Round that hamstrung their hopes in 2025 is getting less and less likely. They’re just simply running out of time to make up their deficit to the Tampa Bay Rays, and even […]

The lineups are out for tonight’s contest as the Atlanta Braves are looking to knot up the series with the Tampa Bay Rays at one run apiece. Manager Walt Weiss has decided to go with a top-of-the-order look that we last saw when the Braves were in Philadelphia, which means that Drake Baldwin is getting […]
There’s no ideal time for a three-game losing streak but at the same time, you especially don’t want to go on a three-game skid when you only have a handful of gams to play with at the top of the standings. That’s currently the scenario for the Atlanta Braves, who are holding onto a four-game lead on top of the NL East and are looking to avoid both a series loss to the Tampa Bay Rays and a three-game losing streak, to boot. If that’s going to happen, one of the things that’ll need to occur is ...

Atlanta is the only 2026 division leader that's actually good at ABS challenges on both sides. The White Sox and Rays are dead last in the league.
AJ Pierzynski and Erik Kratz react to Aaron Judge’s frustration after being pulled early in his return to the Yankees lineup and the Brewers becoming the first team in baseball to reach 90 wins after another late comeback against the Cubs. Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy joins the show to discuss Los Angeles’ six-game winning streak, Tarik Skubal’s impact, Shohei Ohtani’s health and his own journey from Athletics castoff to Dodgers fixture. Rays broadcaster Neil Solondz checks in on Tampa Bay’...
Amid their series with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Braves made a couple of roster moves. Bailey Falter has been selected to the major-league roster. In a corresponding move, Elieser Hernandez has been designated for assignment. Additionally, Reynaldo Lopez returns from his rehabilitation assignment.

Ahead of Wednesday’s middle game between the Atlanta Braves and the Tampa Bay Rays, the Braves made official one move that had already been known ahead of time and made another move that could add a very interesting wrinkle to their bullpen here in the home stretch. We all knew that Reynaldo López was going […]
The Yankees got their Captain back on Tuesday, and while Aaron Judge didn’t collect a hit in the contest the good mood around the team was surely felt. Cam Schlittler stepped up and continued adding to his Cy Young case by tossing seven innings of one-run ball with 10 strikeouts, and even though Tim Hill […]
Despite a top NL record, Atlanta has the worst offense (by wRC+) among seven NL contenders since May 1, with low on-base, few walks, and high strikeouts worsening over the last 30 days. Pitching and defense have carried, but ERA estimators suggest a shrinking margin for error. After a 7–1 loss to Tampa Bay, the Rays’ balanced profile highlighted Atlanta’s issues. A.J. Smith-Shawver’s command remains inconsistent post-TJ, Bryce Elder is out after knee surgery, and the Game 3 postseason starter ...
After a grinder of a series in Philadelphia, the schedule for the Braves unfortunately does not lighten up with the Rays coming to Truist Park, and Tampa Bay would draw first blood in Game 1 on Tuesday night. The offense — as has been the case more often than not for a long time — […]

Early on, this game had the feeling of a barn burner. A pair of 85-win teams, both atop their divisions, clashing in Atlanta. Heading into the second inning, both teams had already scored and the game was tied at one. Both starting pitchers looked shaky in the first and it felt like we were headed […]
Kicking off a critical late-season homestand Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, a breakthrough performance from AJ Smith-Shawver on the mound or a strong performance from its star hitters could have been enough to deliver the Atlanta Braves a tone-setting win. Unfortunately for them, they got neither of those. An early exit from Smith-Shawver paired with the offense falling flat after a wasted chance at a big first inning doomed Atlanta to a 7-1 loss in the series opener against the Ray...
SEATTLE — Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker emptied his bullpen and his bench to win Sunday, and he said on Rangers Sports Network that the off day which followed was as much about recovery as the win was about momentum. Riding Sunday’s result into the next day was one side of it for Schumaker. “I […]
