Your one stop shop for everything Atlanta Braves
Well today we have Atlanta’s first “home” game of 2026 Spring Training and we are treated to Chris Sale on the mound. Not only is a potential future Hall of Famer on the mound, but the Braves are rolling out what could be most of the Opening Day lineup. The only member of the likely […]
My Youtube feed is organized crime show clips, baseball, and standup comedy right now. Then on Friday, something that might combine all three shows up. Now this is retelling of a pretty well known sequence where Greg Maddux hits Jose Canseco in 2000. It’s not even that new. Pretty good stuff, though. Then Chipper Jones […]
Well we officially have Braves baseball back in our lives, as Spring Training kicked off Saturday. Mike Yastrzemski had a nice debut, with a homer and a single, while bullpen candidates Hayden Harris, James Karinchak, and Dylan Dodd showed out nicely in one inning of work each. We’ll be treated to a Chris Sale start […]
The games are underway, Mike Yastrzemski got off to a great start and Chris Sale will be on the mound tomorrow. Life is pretty good. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
If first impressions are any indication, then the Atlanta Braves and their fanbase should be pretty happy with what Mike Yastrzemski may have in store for the upcoming season. One of the newest signings for the Braves made his presence felt almost immediately in the Grapefruit League opener. He kept that up and had a […]
The offseason is officially over and now it’s time to get rocking and rolling. While it’s not quite the same as Opening Day and never will be on that level, it’s still lovely to either turn on the TV or fire up the radio and hear the crack of the bat and baseballs hitting leather […]
Major League Baseball doesn’t have a long offseason by calendar days. But man, it’s been a long one this season. It’s time for getting your nearly everyday baseball fix. Although, for the next few weeks it’s going to be more like Braves ‘n’ Friends. We’re getting Mike Yastrzemski, Jonah Heim, Eli White, Jorge Mateo and […]
The wait is finally over, and the Atlanta Braves kick off play in the Grapefruit League this afternoon. Right-hander Carlos Carrasco has been named today’s starter against the Tampa Bay Rays. After just a few games with Atlanta last season, Carrasco looks to make an impression in his spring debut. Mike Yastrzemski, Jonah Heim, Eli […]
By this time tomorrow, the Braves will have gotten done with their first spring training game of the season. That’s pretty exciting, even if all that means is that the countdown to the Opening Day will officially be underway. Anyways, here’s hoping tomorrow goes well. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
We’re officially one night’s sleep away from getting the Grapefruit League underway for the Atlanta Braves. With that being said, the team sure took their time before letting everybody know who’d be playing and most importantly, who’d be starting on the mound over in Port Charlotte against the Tampa Bay Rays. As it turns out, […]
News came out today that California prep prospect Jared Gridlinger is set to reclassify and move from the 2027 MLB Draft into the 2026 MLB Draft. Gridlinger ranked as high as No. 3 overall and No. 1 prep player in the 2027 class, and adds another premium talent into what is already a strong draft […]
I guess I could’ve worded this, “Do you actually watch Spring Training games,” too. Today marks the start of Grapefruit and Cactus League action. There are a few games against unaffiliated teams, too. But the full slate really begins tomorrow. Me, I’ll watch pretty much any MLB baseball. Though the pitch clock made it somewhat […]
The Atlanta Braves got a taste of the future of umpiring this week, testing Major League Baseball’s new Automated Ball Strike Challenge System during Spring Training in North Port. The system gives teams two opportunities per game to challenge a called ball or strike and forced Braves players and coaches to begin adjusting to what […]
We’re not too far away from seeing actual spring training games! Excited yet? The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
The start of spring training is usually the time of year where we start to hear copious reports about [insert any baseball player you want here] being in The Best Shape of His Life heading into camp. Ronald Acuña Jr. may fall into this category after he was spotted hitting batting practice bombs at the […]
So much kvetching about the state of the rotation, which is understandable given the injury news before Spring Training games have even begun. But, let’s pivot slightly: we know the deals that have already happened. Which ones should the Braves have made? The list of signed free agent starters is here: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker?sign=signed&pos=sp For me, the […]
Well barring a last minute blockbuster trade, it really seems like the Opening Day rotation will look like Chris Sale, Spencer Strider, Reynaldo Lopez, Grant Holmes, and the winner of the competition between Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and perhaps some other options, if they can all make it there healthy. You will note that Sale […]
This afternoon, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) elected Bruce Meyer as interim executive director. Meyer replaces Tony Clark, who resigned from the position earlier this week. Meyer is expected to remain in charge of the collective-bargaining negotiations for the players union with the current basic agreement expiring on December 1, 2026, according to […]
Good evening! Hope it’s been a good day for you so far. Here’s a random clip:
The two latest Atlanta Braves pitchers dealing with elbow issues are now beginning to deal with those issues as both Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep are taking the route of surgery. According to a report from Braves beat writer Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Spencer Schwellenbach has already underwent surgery on his elbow to hopefully deal […]
So, I guess they’re really doing this, huh? We’ve been hearing more and more from the Braves (particularly President of Baseball Operations/GM Alex Anthopoulos) about how the club is reportedly pretty confident in their internal options and are willing to let the fifth spot in the rotation be an open competition instead of going out […]
Well, that happened all in a hurry. Tony Clark is out, and he’s out not because of some politicized or tactical derailment, but because of what looks like a series of bad personal decisions. The news of his resignation apparently came as a shock to players, who now need to approve interim leadership as they […]
The Atlanta Braves made a minor move on Tuesday and added infielder Dominic Smith on their list of non-roster invites to spring training. Smith, 30, spent the 2025 season in San Francisco, where he appeared in 63 games. He spent the majority of his time at first base, but also appeared in right field and […]
Good evening, folks. I hope today was a good one for you. Here’s a random clip:
The outfield figures to be a position of strength for the Atlanta Braves as they head into the 2026 season. The signing of Mike Yastrzemski could end up being a bit of a coup, as Yaz can provide some solid production at any part of the outfield. As a matter of fact, Yaz figures to […]
