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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
One game won’t exorcise all the demons of yesteryear, but the Atlanta Braves made a huge first step in turning things around on Opening Day, dominating the Kansas City Royals to the tune of a 6-0, wire-to-wire victory. Chris Sale was uncharacteristically shaky in the early going, but the bats (three dingers!) and gloves (lots […]
All games can be listened to on the radio on 680 The Fan/93.7 FM or in the 680 The Fan App.
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 […]
Somehow, I’m not only doing the game coverage for Opening Day, but also for the second game of this series. There was a time where I used to be in game threads a lot. Those times are over, for many reasons. I’ll pop in here and there. But, just a reminder that problems (and you […]
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 […]
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, […]
The Gwinnett Stripers have released their initial roster for the 2026 season today, ahead of today’s first game of the season. The roster below is mostly as expected, though there is one big, surprising omission in Jhancarlos Lara not being part of it after spending a good chunk of time in Gwinnett last season. Starters […]
Opening Day is often thought of as a beginning for, well, obvious reasons. But, sometimes, I guess it’s an ending as well. Jason Heyward has announced his retirement after a 16-season MLB career: For many of us, Heyward’s career was a big part of Braves fandom. His hype, amazing first MLB game, and overall awesome […]
Here are the 26 players who will be on the field, in the dugout and in the bullpen once the regular season gets underway here in Atlanta. As is tradition around here, we’re taking a deeper look at each and every player on the Opening Day roster. This includes how they got here, their basic […]
Provided you had a ritual in the first place, I guess. My ritual was taking the day off work and watching a lot of baseball. With the Braves playing a night game and a weird split Opening Day where only some teams started their season yesterday, I am just not bothering. It’ll be a normal […]
Happy Opening Day, Braves Country! During Thursday’s presser, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss informed the media that Drake Baldwin would be in the Opening Day lineup, but not behind the dish. Instead, Baldwin will be in the DH role while Jonah Heim is behind the plate. It’s a pretty interesting way to roll things out. […]
Earlier today, we discussed the big news of the day from Walt Weiss’s press conference where he stated that Drake Baldwin would be the starting DH for Friday’s Opening Day game for the Atlanta Braves. I also mentioned that that wasn’t all he talked about, as he spoke at length about his thoughts on the […]
It appears that the cable pieces of the Braves television distribution are starting to fall into place. The News always comes down in a navy blue image with white text on it, so this is definitely a big deal. The Atlanta Braves and Xfinity aka Comcast have reached a deal to carry BravesVision, the Braves’ […]
Earlier today, new manager Walt Weiss spoke with the media ahead of his debut as manager of the Atlanta Braves. We’ll have more to talk about later as far as quotes from him (and Chris Sale and Matt Olson as well) but for now, the biggest news of that presser is that we got a […]
Folks, it’s Opening Day — for 26 other ballclubs, at least. The Atlanta Braves still have to wait their turn until Friday, which is when they’ll hopefully be able to open up the season by doing some damage against the Kansas City Royals. Ronald Acuña Jr. is going to be starting in right field for […]
