Your one stop shop for everything Atlanta Braves
In case you’ve been wondering why all of the (now) old City Connect jerseys and gear was being sold at rock-bottom clearance prices during the offseason, you now have your reason why. Following a leak of the new look, the Atlanta Braves have gone ahead and unveiled their newest edition of their City Connect uniforms […]
After a solid team victory to start the series behind Bryce Elder on Monday, the Braves will hope to secure a series win in a battle of fifth starters behind Jose Suarez, facing Aaron Civale. Suarez wasn’t supposed to be in the starting rotation, and perhaps might have missed the Opening Day roster were it […]
I’ve come to think of Bryce Elder the last couple of years as Chunky Woody Harrelson. Not fat, just broad-shouldered with a full, kind face. I have noticed this season that he’s added the beard. He does appear to be slimmer. As a blogger with a terminal case of dad bod, I know how helpful […]
The Braves splendid start to the season may be a bit of a surprise to some. However, names such as Bryce Elder and Mauricio Dubon being major reasons why will likely surprise many. But those were the two stars of the Braves 4-0 win over the Athletics on Monday. Elder and Dubon are helping the […]
Bryce Elder’s first start of the season was a successful one, as his six strong innings and some early offense ended up being the formula for a comprehensive 4-0 series-opening win for the Atlanta Braves over the Athletics. The game got off to an auspicious start for the Braves, as Elder got his night going […]
Here we go, folks. The Braves are coming off of a series win and looking to make sure that they’ll stay above .500 for another couple of days. Meanwhile, the Athletics are rolling into town after getting bopped by the Blue Jays for three straight games. Can Bryce Elder continue to keep the A’s struggling? […]
The Athletics will be starting Jacob Lopez in the series opener in Cobb County against our Atlanta Braves. Lopez is a left-handed starter. As such, Walt Weiss has decided to break out the left-hand counter lineup and as such, Ozzie Albies is batting right-handed and hitting third in this particular lineup once again. Here’s the […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to stay above .500 here in the infancy of the season and they’ll likely need a strong start from Bryce Elder if they’re going to pick up their third win in four games so far. The Athletics are coming into this game licking their wounds a bit. The defending American […]
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 […]
Well, that didn’t take long — after Didier Fuentes saved the bullpen with his efforts in a loss to the Royals, he’s going down for a fresh arm in Martin Perez: Fuentes looked quite good against the Royals, striking out four and walking one in four frames of lower-leverage work. The Braves may have him […]
(3-0) Memphis Redbirds 6, (0-3) Gwinnett Stripers 5 Box Score The Stripers fell to 0-3 on the season with a late loss to the Memphis Redbirds. Elieser Hernández made his first start of the season and immediately ran into trouble – allowing four runs to score in the games first two innings with some untimely […]
Man, I wish I never had to talk about this again. But, y’know, I do, apparently. Also, it makes easy fodder for a daily question post. If you haven’t, you should peruse this page: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/drag-dashboard. There’s not a lot there. I’ll replicate the top chart here: Each dot is an average of the day’s readings […]
While Sunday was a bit disappointing in a 4-1 loss to the Royals, the Braves were able to win the series and have a strong start to the season. More than anything, it feels like a higher level of confidence should be had for both the lineup and starting rotation, as both aspects of the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Grant Holmes will be taking the mound to face off against Seth Lugo and the Kansas City Royals in an attempt to hold down the fort and end the series with a sweep. Last night’s ending was a great comeback, and now with two wins under their belt, the Atlanta Braves are determined to end […]
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 […]
After last night’s epic ending against the Kansas City Royals, which clinched the Atlanta Braves’ first series win of the season, Grant Holmes will be taking the mound to start the early game off with hopes of holding down the defensive end and sweeping the series before facing the Athletics on Monday. During his five games […]
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 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 […]
How great does it feels to win on Opening Day? Winning > Losing. The Atlanta Braves blanked the Kansas City Royals in Atlanta last night, and in doing so, two prominent members of the organization moved up on some notable Braves and MLB leader boards. When Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies took the field to […]
