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. Braves News The Braves had a few finalists for Gold Glove awards and Players Choice awards. MLBTR released their annual arbitration estimates, including for five Braves. MLB […]
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 […]
Chris Sale and multiple Braves teammates announced as finalists for Gold Glove, MLBPA awards
With the MLB postseason no longer delivering frenetic news days given that we’re in League Championship Series season, where there’s not even two games on most days, it’s time for the faux-anticipation of dropping finalists (not winners, finalists) for certain end-of-season awards. We’ve got two on the docket today. First, Gold Gloves. I have a […]
MLB Trade Rumors shares arbitration projections for five eligible Braves players
With the offseason underway (for our Atlanta Braves, at least), it’s time to start looking forward to the future — well, as much as you can when you consider what awaits the baseball world once the start of December rolls around. Either way, teams are going to be keeping it business as usual until that […]
What’s your main memory from the first Braves season you watched?
I had this weird thought the other day: 2026 was someone’s first Braves season. And, I mean, yeah, there’s a possibility that “first Braves season” meant the first time being aware of the Braves as a small child — which is probably fun in the moment, but won’t stick as a “season” in the memory […]
Braves News: Starting pitching predictions, Arizona Fall League, and more
Despite an early exit in the NLDS for the Atlanta Braves, the Postseason rolled on with Game 2 of the ALCS on Tuesday. The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 to even the series. The NLCS continues this evening between the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers. Braves News: There are plenty of […]
ALCS Game 2 Chat and Discussion
While the NLCS is on hiatus Tuesday as the Dodgers and Brewers travel to Los Angeles with Milwaukee ahead 2-0, there will still be baseball on our televisions Tuesday evening. The Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays play Game 2 of their ALCS at 8 p.m. (TBS, truTV and streaming on HBO Max) with the […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Drake, Carey Appear on Monday
Yesterday saw limited action in the Arizona Fall League, as only one of the three games on the schedule got played – and that game was shortened to seven innings. However we did get to watch a pair of Atlanta Braves prospects as Isaiah Drake got the start in left field for the Glendale Desert […]
How many starting pitchers will the Braves add this offseason?
Sticking with the rotation since there isn’t really much else to discuss… Didier Fuentes may or may not be ticketed for the rotation in 2027, assuming there is a 2027 season. Chris Sale can’t fend off Father Time forever, but he’s done a good job of it so far. Grant Holmes exists. Bryce Elder exists. […]
Braves News: Austin Riley, Acquiring Arms, More
Once again, the Braves are entering an offseason where many questions need to be answered. And unfortunately, many of those questions will be focused on how reliable talents already with the Braves will be moving forward. That of course spotlights all the injuries that some of the Braves most promising your arms have went through […]
NLCS and ALCS Chat and Discussion
The Atlanta Braves are not longer in contention but there is still some fun playoff baseball to watch as the Los Angeles Dodgers are the visiting team against the Milwaukee Brewers. We already saw an insanely good pitching matchup yesterday, but we get another one today with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking on Logan Henderson. Interestingly on […]
Austin Riley enters the Winter at a career crossroads
The Atlanta Braves may have spent another season navigating a multitude of pitching injuries, but it was ultimately the lineup that let them down in October. Bounced from the postseason after falling in four games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series, the Braves will attempt to solve the individual and […]
Anthopoulos: Braves will be “open-minded” about ways to improve in offseason
The Atlanta Braves are now into the offseason, which means that it’s time for General Manager Alex Anthopoulos to speak with the media and give his thoughts on both the season that was and what’s on the horizon for the team going forward. There’s a lot (and boy, do I mean a lot) to discuss […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Tate Southisene returns to the field
(1-6) Glendale Desert Dogs 4, (4-3) Surprise Saguaros 5 Box Score The Desert Dogs fell to 1-6 after a late rally by the Saguaros last night. The Braves had six prospects play in the game, including the return to the diamond for Tate Southisene who has been out since July 28th after getting hit in […]
How will the Braves use Didier Fuentes in 2027?
(Of course, pending the existence of a 2027 season, after all…) Alex Anthopoulos said a whole lotta nothing in his latest presser, though this isn’t really surprising considering A) his approach to press is “how do I divulge as little information as possible in as much time as possible” and B) the Braves haven’t done […]
Braves News: Alex Anthopoulos Year End Press Conference, Arizona Fall League, More
Alex Anthopoulos made his end of year comments on Sunday, speaking on many different topics from the 2026 season. Per usual, there was not much in terms of specific focuses or future actions given away. However, Anthopoulos did speak on some names. This includes the lack of reliability moving forward on names such as Spencer […]
