Braves News: World Series, AJ Smith-Shawver, more
I want to point some attention towards a somewhat niche topic in Alfredo Sena’s status pending the upcoming CBA negotiation. Sena has the looks of one of the top international free agents we’ve seen in recent years and has a pre-agreement with the Braves. Unfortunately for Atlanta, the CBA is being re-negotiated, which may result […]
World Series Game 2 Chat and Discussion: October 24
We got a barnburner of a Game 1 of the World Series Friday night, with Milwaukee jumping ahead 2-0 in the first inning and holding on for a 3-2 win, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position in the ninth inning. Let’s see if Game 2 Saturday night can live up to the […]
2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: AJ Smith-Shawver
There was a lot of anticipation and intrigue when it came to AJ Smith-Shawver and his return from Tommy John Surgery for the Atlanta Braves in 2026. Considering how much flux the backend of Atlanta’s rotation went through in the previous season, there was a clear opportunity for anybody who wanted to grab onto that […]
Are the Brewers a major problem for the Braves?
The Milwaukee Brewers have been trending up for some time. They’ve made the playoffs eight of the last nine years. They’ve had 90 plus wins for the last four seasons. They lose pieces, but gain others. They’ve third in position player WAR and fourth in pitching WAR. And they’re in the driver’s seat to win […]
Braves News: Jonah Heim player review, World Series underway, and more
The World Series got underway on Friday evening, and the Milwaukee Brewers took Game 1 3-2. Game 2 is set for tonight at 8:00 ET. Braves News: Our player review series continues with catcher Jonah Heim, Relive the 10 biggest robberies by the Braves’ defense in 2026.
World Series Game 1 Chat and Discussion: October 23
Although it is sad it can’t be us, one city is guaranteed its first ever World Series parade. How can you not be romantic about baseball? What a fun matchup in both teams and incredible logos. Two roofed #1 teams will face off to hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy starting tonight. Who ya got? The Milwaukee […]
The 10 biggest robberies of hits by Braves’ defense in 2026
Yesterday, we took a look at some of the hard-luck moments that the Atlanta Braves had at the plate during the 2026 regular season. Turnabout is fair play, so now it’s time to look at some of the top moments where the Braves stole some outs out there in the field when the play probably […]
2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Jonah Heim
Veteran backstop Jonah Heim’s stay in Atlanta was brief, but he helped the Braves temporarily bridge the gap between the team’s starting catcher and his injured handcuff. How Acquired The Atlanta Braves signed Heim to a big league contract on February 10, 2026, after he’d lingered on the free agent market and Sean Murphy’s recovery […]
Are you going to watch the World Series?
For some people, Braves out equals no more baseball. For others, they’ll take as much as they can get. I’m weird: I’ll take as much of the regular season as I can get, but lose interest in the short-series-tournament format pretty handily. I nominally watched the Braves in their two postseason series, though with far […]
Braves News: Matt Olson awarded, Connor Thomas review, and more
As award season is ramping up, Matt Olson is the first Atlanta Brave to be honored this offseason. It was announced Thursday that Olson was selected to receive the Fielding Bible award. https://x.com/Braves/status/2113331140870156573 The Fielding Bible Awards recognize the best defensive player at each of MLB’s nine positions, along with a top multi-position player, an […]
Postseason off day chat and discussion: Oct. 22
The 2026 World Series creeps ever closer. Both teams participated in World Series Media Day on Thursday before the action finally gets underway Friday night in Milwaukee. Which team are you pulling for to win its first World Series? Personally, a good friend of mine is a diehard Rays fan so I’m throwing my weight […]
Matt Olson wins sixth Fielding Bible Award
The Atlanta Braves, who won the NL East and defeated the Phillies in the Wild Card Round this season, had one of the their players honored today. Matt Olson won Fielding Bible award today. Olson, who is a National League Gold Glove finalist with two others at first base, is number one in both leagues […]
The 10 most unlucky moments for Atlanta Braves hitters in 2026
Maybe I’m a bit of a baseball sadist and/or maybe I’m a weirdo who figures that the best way to reflect on failure is to go back and re-experience said failures. However, I’d like to do that while also getting to enjoy some eye-candy, so these particular moments are going to be filled with bullets […]
2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Connor Thomas
The good news for Connor Thomas is that he’s appeared to have figured it out as a reliever and he should be able to find somewhere to pitch once the smoke has cleared with the upcoming labor war that’s looming over all of baseball. The bad news is that he figured that out with the […]
Has Atlanta’s offense been left behind by a new wave in baseball?
In 2023, just three years ago, the Atlanta Braves had just completed what is statistically recognized as the greatest single-season of team performance at the plate in a 162-game season. The Braves as a team hit .276/.344/.501 with a wOBA of .359, an astonishing xwOBA of .364, a mind-boggling 307 home runs and a team […]
Will we ever see an MLB team relocation/rebrand again?
The Tampa Bay Rays are in the World Series. For years, before a change in their ownership situation and an agreement for a new ballpark that will likely increase attendance, there was the latent threat of relocation, though. Would that relocation have come with a rebrand — a new team name and identity that fits […]
Braves News: Hardest-hit Balls, Player Reviews, more
The World Series begins on Friday, but for now teams around the league are taking care of housekeeping. Lingering injuries are being addressed, managerial and front office roles are being filled, and strategies are being formulated ahead of this highly uncertain offseason. Braves News We looked back at the 10 hardest-hit balls by the Braves […]
The Top-10 hardest-hit balls of 2026 for the Atlanta Braves
It may not be the be-all, end-all for production as far as batted balls go, but exit velocity goes a long way towards determining whether or not a ball ends up landing in the grass or the seats instead of the leather of a baseball glove. Plus, it’s just plain cool to see a ball […]
2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Sandy León
It was a somewhat surprising return engagement with the big league Atlanta Braves for 37-year-old backstop Sandy León in 2026. When injuries struck Atlanta’s catchers six weeks into the regular season, the veteran was called upon to fill the void. How Acquired León was re-signed by the Braves on a minor league contract on October […]
Is Ben Sestanovich the next Astros GM?
Okay, this functionally works as news and not a question, but… Last night, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reported that current Braves assistant general manager Ben Sestanovich was in the running for the Houston Astros’ vacant front office head honcho position. The Braves are no strangers to having their Alex Anthopoulos proteges depart to baseball […]
Braves News: Aaron Bummer season review, free agent battle, and more
With a few days off before the World Series gets underway, there is plenty of opportunity to look back on the Atlanta Braves’ 2026 season. Our player review series continues with left-hander Aaron Bummer, followed by a look back at the top 10 game-changing hits for the Braves throughout the 2026 campaign. MLB News: The […]
Postseason off day chat and discussion: October 20
Well, it looks like we’ll be sitting tight for a few days. Game 1 of the World Series won’t be until the night of October 23, so that means there will be no more baseball until then. In the mean time, what are y’all planning on watching tonight? If you’re a basketball fan then you’re […]
The Top-10 game-changing hits for the Atlanta Braves in 2026
The best advice I could’ve given any particular Atlanta Braves fan about the 2026 team in general is that on most nights, you might want to wait until the seventh inning to tune in. That was usually when this offense started to work its magic, and the proof is in the pudding with this particular […]
2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Aaron Bummer
Aaron Bummer has truly had a fascinating career. If we’re judging solely by the eye test, he’s had the type of career that makes you wonder if he just walks under ladders, breaks mirrors and hangs out with black cats all the time because of his hilariously high BABIP-against numbers and the fact that he […]
If the Braves couldn’t be in it, is this your preferred World Series matchup?
Pretty much the title. The current matchup is a matchup of the two teams with the best records in their respective leagues. This hasn’t been a recent rarity: 2024, 2020 I guess, and 2013 have all featured the same. (Also 1999, 1995, and 1992, all featuring the Braves.) It’s also a matchup that guarantees a […]
