Your one stop shop for everything Atlanta Braves
Sunday was a busy day on and off the field for the Braves, but an overall really positive day. Atlanta was able to get the win over the Rockies, as Spencer Strider was a bit shaky in his first start of the season. The Braves swept the Rockies, mainly thanks to elite offense to continue […]
Legendary sports announcer John Sterling, best known for his more than 35-year career as a New York Yankees announcer, has passed away at age 87. Sterling was most notable to Atlanta Braves fans as one of the team’s announcers from 1982 through 1987 and is best known to many for his call of the infamous […]
After today’s victory against the Colorado Rockies, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that closer Raisel Iglesias will be activated from the 15-day Injured List on Tuesday in Seattle where the Braves will be taking on the Seattle Mariners. Iglesias’ return will help fortify the Braves bullpen has it has dealt with significant turnover […]
As long as baseball continues to be played at altitude in Coors Field, there will be the potential for a whole bushel of runs to be scored in any given game. With the Atlanta Braves running as hot as they have to start this season, there was plenty of potential for the Braves to put […]
After letting a sweep slip through their hands on Thursday, the Braves heaped another hurting on the Rockies, scoring 11 runs en route to a blowout win in Spencer Strider’s 2026 debut. Let’s start with Strider, because besides “yeah this offense rules” and some interesting bullpen stuff, this game felt like a fait accompli at […]
The Atlanta Braves announced that pitcher Jose Suarez was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners and reliever Joel Payamps was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Both pitchers were designed for assignment by Atlanta on May 1. Suarez had pitched in six games with the Braves, making one start and collecting one three-inning save. He struck […]
Braves go for a sweep. Spencer Strider makes his 2026 debut. Jose Azocar starting? Statcast graphic!
Welp! An Atlanta Braves outfielder is going on the IL — just not the one who had apparently been close to making a trip to the IL for this past week. Instead of Michael Harris II taking that trip, it’ll be Ronald Acuña Jr. after he strained his left hamstring leaving the batter’s box during […]
With Ronald Acuña Jr. now on the Injured List with a hamstring issue, the Braves are reshuffling their lineup. Notable change #1: Mauricio Dubon is now the leadoff hitter. Notable change #2: with a lefty on the hill, Jose Azocar gets the start in right field. The rest of the lineup is kind of as expected […]
Another series, another series win, and another chance for a Braves sweep. After winning a series with some late-inning heroics back in Atlanta and then letting the Tigers salvage the final game, the Braves have once again taken a series with the help of a roaring comeback and will go for another sweep on Sunday […]
Saturday was full of action, with six games in the system thanks to a Columbus doubleheader and the start of FCL play. Unfortunately the teams in the Atlanta Braves system dropped each one of the six games on the slate. Despite it being a bad day in the results column, we got to witness Owen […]
I didn’t really know (or care to know) anything about Anthony Molina before this week. The only really notable thing about him is that he pitched in the Colorado Rockies organization. The Braves have a thing for Rockies relievers. He doesn’t really strikeout anybody (career 15% K rate), had a 6.82 career ERA, and didn’t […]
Matt Olson has been absolutely crushing the ball this season. Through roughly 20% of the season, he is on pace for 55 homers and 65 doubles. He has a monster 171 wRC+, plays elite defense at the first base position, and is leading the NL in fWAR. With Olson leading the way, Drake Baldwin, Michael […]
Just when it seemed like the Atlanta Braves were starting to turn a corner with injury luck with all of the positive updates on players who are currently on the injury list and Michael Harris II continuing to rake despite quad issues of his own, the injury bug appears to have taken another bite from […]
With a chance to secure the series win, the Braves had ace Chris Sale on the mound at Coors Field with young Rockies star Chase Dollander expected to take the mound after an opener. The Braves followed my recommendation in the first inning, jumping on the opener Brennan Bernardino, as Ronald hit a line drive […]
Let’s beat the Rockies again tonight, but maybe don’t go down 5-0 in the first inning this time. Join us and discuss tonight’s game in the comments below!

Considering how the 2025 campaign began, the start of the 2026 Braves season has been a breath of fresh air for everyone who is invested. That must be particularly true for Braves general manager and president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos. A streak of seven straight postseason appearances which began in his second season with […]
As the Braves go for yet another series win, they turn to Chris Sale at Coors Field, expecting to see the Rockies’ young star Chase Dollander, with Brennan Bernardino as the opener. Michael Harris returns to the starting lineup at DH after his epic game-winning home run Friday night, as he continues to nurse his […]
After an epic comeback victory in game 1, the Braves will hope to secure yet another series win behind their ace against a Rockies team that is generally not good but has been competitive this season. Chris Sale has been great this season, despite one of his career-worst starts against the Angels. Coors can always […]
Baseball is often referred to as a game of failure. Perhaps nowhere is that statement more on display than in the life of a major league pitcher, whose fate hangs on every pitch. Pitch by pitch, batter by batter, inning by inning, game by game — a pitcher benefits from preparation, execution and the ability […]
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have a 7.5 game lead and refuse to lose a series, have made a roster move before tonight’s game with the Colorado Rockies. Anthony Molina was helpful in last night’s come-from-behind win for the never-say-die, put-them-in-a-Walt-Weiss-sleeper-hold Braves. He pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh inning with a walk […]
Two of the three teams that were actually able to step onto the field on Friday came away with a win so let’s five into the action. (20-11) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (14-17) Charlotte Knights 3 Box Score Gwinnett rode a huge sixth inning while staving off a late-inning comeback attempt en route to a win […]
The Rockies definitely had the Braves for the first seven innings. Ah but in the last three games, the leading team didn’t finish the job. Michael Harris II was headed for the Injured List as well, don’t you know. Then, he came on to pinch hit. Yup, pretty standard Braves heroics at the end. Here […]
The Atlanta Braves announced a few moves prior to Friday evening’s game in Colorado, beginning with recalling right-hander Hunter Stratton to Atlanta. The club also selected the contract of fellow righty Anthony Molina. Things were not as fortunate for Joel Payamps and José Suarez, who were each designated for assignment. Stratton has yet to make […]
This Braves road trip couldn’t have started much worse, with the team facing a 5-0 deficit in the first inning. It ended, though, like so many games have this season. With Atlanta celebrating a victory. The Braves rallied from a 6-0 second-inning deficit for an 8-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies in the opener of […]
