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 […]
Braves News: 2026 World Series Set, Walt Weiss, More
The 2026 World Series is set, and it looks to be quite intriguing and fun. The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Rays will face off to determine who will be the 2026 World Series champion.

ALCS Game 6 chat and discussion
The Atlanta Braves season may be over, but there is still a lot of baseball yet to be played. The Cleveland Guardians are on the brink of elimination in their hope of winning their first World Series since 1948 and they will be facing the Tampa Bay Rays in search of their first ever World […]
The Top 10 longest home runs of 2026 for the Atlanta Braves
It’s that time again. Everybody loves home runs and now (thanks to Statcast) it’s time to take a look back at 10 of the longest home runs of the season for the Atlanta Braves during the 2026 regular season. As you can imagine by Atlanta’s return to the Postseason, the homers flew early and often […]
2026 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Ha-Seong Kim
Happy 2026 Battery Power Player Review season to all who… celebrate? This particular season was ripe with weirdness and what-ifs. It seems only fitting that we will kick off this year’s series with one of the most polarizing of players to don a Braves uniform this year: infielder and presumed Opening Day shortstop Ha-Seong Kim. […]
Did Walt Weiss exceed your expectations?
As I stumble towards maybe actually doing something about all the preseason production predictions we put in, one question stands out, because it was quickly resolved: I asked folks to prognosticate on the Braves’ next manager, and while I didn’t think anyone would’ve actually guessed Walt Weiss, turns out that a fair bit of people […]
Braves News: Jurickson Profar, MLB Playoffs, more
While the offseason has started for 27 of 30 MLB teams, not much news is out there as teams can only currently focus on business with players on their roster. And though he is under contract, one player the Braves will need to focus on is Jurickson Profar. As reported over the past few days, […]
ALCS Game 5 chat and discussion: Rays vs. Guardians
It’s time for everybody’s favorite: A PIVOTAL Game 5. The Tampa Bay Rays have tied the series up at two games apiece. The Cleveland Guardians get one crucial chance at home to make sure that they go back to Tampa with the series advantage. Can the Rays complete their comeback in this series and go […]
Jurickson Profar will play Winter Ball in Venezuela during upcoming offseason
Hey look, it’s a Jurickson Profar post. The last time that this guy was mentioned as the topic of discussion on this particular blog site was back when he was in the middle of his second PED-usage scandal in as many seasons. The second failed test caused Profar to miss the entirety of the 2026 […]
What changes will the Braves in-house evaluations bring?
One of the benefits of watching your team continue in the playoffs is that you don’t have to think about the holes in your team until you exit. And once you do, you begin the arduous task of considering how it all went wrong. Dealing with the holes in the team can be pretty straightforward. […]
Braves News: Briggs McKenzie, ALCS, more
As we approach the offseason and it increasingly looks like we will get a window for transactions before a likely lockout in early December. Last time we had a CBA negotiation and associated lockout, there was a flurry of transactions before the lockout, as teams and players looked to lock in some certainty before an […]
ALCS Game 4 Chat and Discussion
After Mother Nature didn’t play along Friday night, they’ll try again to play Game 4 of the ALCS between the Cleveland Guardians and visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night at 8 p.m. (TBS/truTV/HBO Max). With Cleveland leading 2-1 after a 3-2 win Thursday in Cleveland on Thursday, Game 4 was postponed from Friday due […]
How many MLB playoff teams is too many?
The Big News this week is that the charlatans that run the sport formerly known as college football has a handshake deal with ESPN to double the number of teams only two years after tripling it. Yes, your school’s program can join the playoff after winning 8 games so long as they can lock down […]
Braves News: Brett Wisely to 40-man roster, Tate Southisene, and more
The Atlanta Braves have already made some moves this offseason, according to the transaction log. Most notably, infielder Brett Wisely was selected to the major league roster. Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr. was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, and infielder Luke Williams elected free agency. Given his limited big league experience, the decision to add Wisely to […]
ALCS Game 4 chat and discussion
Well, it’s looking like the ALCS will be the only baseball we get to see for a while after the Milwaukee Brewers swept the former two-time World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers out of the Postseason in unceremonious fashion. No worries, though, as the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays have been playing an entertaining […]
Braves add Brett Wisely to 40-man roster and outright DaShawn Keirsey Jr.
The Atlanta Braves have been making some small and quiet moves with their roster since their elimination in the NLDS and here’s another one. After they selected Danny Young’s contract last week, the Braves have decided to do the same with Brett Wisely as well. DaShawn Keirsey Jr. ended up getting outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Tate Southisene Excels in Leadoff Spot
(1-9) Glendale Desert Dogs 8, (6-3) Surprise Saguaros 17 box score Statcast Safe to say that Glendale isn’t much of a contender in the Arizona Fall League. They dropped another game in blowout fashion, one which was sloppy at best due to the pitching staff allowing 13 walks. Braves representatives did provide bright spots, however, […]
Are you gratified that the Dodgers won’t three-peat?
There were a lot of comments at some point in the past eleven months or so that said something like, “Who cares about xyz, you’ll do it for a chance to lose to the Dodgers in October…” Well, it’s October, and… only the Braves lost to the Dodgers therein. Every other team either lost to […]
Braves News: NLCS concludes, Hiromi Itoh rumors, and more
Half of the World Series matchup is set after the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 to sweep the NLCS. While the Atlanta Braves are sitting this one out, the hot stove is beginning to simmer as the club has been connected to a pitcher from Nippon Professional Baseball. Hiromi Itoh was reportedly […]
MLB Postseason ALCS/NLCS Chat and Discussion: October 15
Weather in Cleveland means daytime baseball (LCS Edition). The Cleveland Guardians will host the Tampa Bay Rays for Game 3 of the ALCS. The Guards took Game 1 before the Rays evened things up by taking Game 2. To accommodate some rain, they will play at 1 pm ET. As a result, NLCS Game 4 […]
Braves seen as “potential fit” for NPB pitcher Hiromi Itoh
The offseason is here and plenty of folks have opinions on what the Atlanta Braves should do during the offseason. Because there’s no such thing as having enough pitching and the fact that Braves President/GM Alex Anthopoulos recently stated that both Spencer Schwellenbach and Spencer Strider may not be reliable options to get a ton […]
Are the Dodgers going to get swept?
Winning four MLB games in a row isn’t easy. It’s probably even harder against the Dodgers. In theory, anyway. The Brewers may not have broken much of a sweat, since they’ve outhomered the Dodgers what, five to nothing, while winning the first three games of the NLCS. There aren’t many sweeps-in-a-seven-game series. Under the current […]
Braves News: Gold Gloves, Arbitration Estimates, more
As the postseason wraps up without the Braves, it’s beginning to get into the season for awards and a flurry of offseason activity before the seemingly inevitable lockout.

NLCS Game 3 chat and discussion
Well, well, well. The Los Angeles Dodgers now have their backs against the wall and are starting off the Dodger Stadium portion of the 2026 National League Championship Series down 2-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers. Can Blake Snell and Shohei Ohtani figure it out? Will Robert Gasser, old friend William Contreras and the rest of […]
