It seems that Chris Sale’s next start will be pushed to Friday after all. (Not so fast, see below) The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who are five games clear in the Division, have made a roster move before tonight’s game with the Washington Nationals. The Braves have added 20-year-old Didier Fuentes to the active […]
The week started off with a wild set of games on the Atlanta Braves farm system. The Gwinnett Stripers, led by the rehabbing Spencer Strider, managed to get no-hit but still come out with a win in the game. Meanwhile Rome took the opposite path, obliterating a good Greensboro pitching staff with six home runs […]
Watching Laz Diaz umpire home plate yesterday, and the way both teams basically froze up after unsuccessfully using one challenge in the first PA of the game, reinforced for me that two ABS challenges is insufficient. But, a little before that, I had read this Jayson Stark article in The Athletic about the headwinds, such […]
The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that closer Raisel Iglesias was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation. Backdated to April 20, the move comes after he slept badly on his shoulder. Fortunately, his MRI did not reveal any structural damage and it is likely that his time on the injured list […]
On April 21, 2024, the Braves began the day with a six-game winning streak. It ended in fairly routine fashion: the Braves took an early 3-0 lead over the Rangers, but Darius Vines couldn’t prop it up, and they lost, 6-4. That was the last time (before now) the Braves had a winning streak of […]
The Atlanta Braves got what is hopefully good news related to closer Raisel Iglesias as it was conveyed to reporters prior to tonight’s game that an MRI showed only inflammation with no structural damage to his shoulder. As MLB.com’s Mark Bowman relayed, the team hopes Iglesias will only stay on the IL for a limited […]
Can the Braves win seven in a row? Can Reynaldo Lopez have another good outing? Is Jake Irvin actually just Jose Urena in some kind of weird Face/Off thing? Stay tuned and find out. Maybe.
No worries, Ronald Acuña Jr. hasn’t gone anywhere. Also, Eli White returns to the starting lineup in an outfield corner. Usually, I do a batter-versus-pitcher thing, but there’s not much to do here. Foster Griffin made one MLB appearance in 2020 and six more in 2022, and then went to Japan. No one in this lineup […]
Hey, the Braves have won six in a row! That’s their longest winning streak at a point where it mattered (the ten-game streak last September doesn’t count…) since pretty much the exact same period in 2024. That streak started on April 14, against Miami, saw them sweep the Astros in Houston, and then return home […]
It’s been a bit of a tradition around here to have a Community Bold Predictions post. Last week, Demetrius put a boldest prediction post on our Feed. We got some interesting feedback. Let’s sift through these and have a look at some of the great ones. Win the whole thing This is a mainstay of […]
Things might be going very well for the Atlanta Braves on the field but their bad luck with injuries is apparently going to just stick around. In the middle of the series in Philadelphia, Raisel Iglesias ended up being unavailable for a game because he slept badly on his shoulder overnight. All appeared to be […]
The 2026 MLB Draft is considered to be very strong, and it is an especially strong class within the state of Georgia – more than 30 names below would be slam dunks to be selected this year based on talent, though the money might keep some from being picked. I wanted to provide an update […]
Or, I guess, more to the point — why will we see Didier Fuentes in the majors (again)? Fuentes was scratched from his Gwinnett appearance at one point last week, prompting these two missives from Mark Bowman: At this point, I assume that when a load management opportunity presents itself, the Braves will take it. […]
Monday was another fun day for the Braves offense as they won their sixth straight game in a 9-4 victory over the Nationals. Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson had big games, while the offense as a whole once again delivered. However, the story of the game was a stretch of concern after Ronald Acuna Jr. […]
The Atlanta Braves faced the Washington Nationals this evening in hopes of winning their MLB leading sixth straight win behind their new and improved ERA leader, Bryce Elder. The Nationals came into the game scoring the third most runs per game in all of MLB thus far this season, but also have an ERA north […]
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuńa, Jr. was removed from tonight’s game prior to the bottom of the sixth inning after being hit by a pitch on the left wrist by Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jake Irvin. It was the second time in the game Irvin hit Acuńa, Jr. Acuńa, Jr., who was replaced in right […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking for their sixth straight win as the face off against the third best offense in MLB tonight. The Nationals are currently tied for second place in the NL East with the Marlins. Most people would have probably laughed at someone predicting the top three teams in the NL East being […]
The Atlanta Braves will be facing off against the Washington Nationals tonight in a battle of two of top three offenses in MLB right now in terms of runs scored per game. The Braves are scoring 5.55 runs per game and the Nats are scoring 5.50. This matchup will feature five hitters in the top […]
The Atlanta Braves are coming off their first sweep of the Phillies in Philadelphia since 2016 while also leading MLB in run differential, total runs scored, team ERA, and hold the best division lead in MLB. The start for the Braves could not have been much better, especially considering they are down half their rotation, […]
The 13-game NL East gauntlet continues on for the Atlanta Braves and so far, they’ve passed their first divisional test with flying colors. They’re 5-1 through the first six games and they’re two wins away from making this a successful divisional swing. They’re also just one win away from confirming a successful road trip on […]
The Atlanta Braves are now just about halfway through a 13-game stretch of facing nothing but NL East opponents — including this Philadelphia Phillies team twice. Naturally, this seemed like the trickier proposition for the Braves to deal with since this was taking place in Philadelphia and they were dealing with a Phillies club that […]
It’s no secret that the Atlanta Braves track record with international free agents has been under scrutiny. The last decade has been defined by penalties, struggles, injuries, and also hitting some winning lottery tickets. I have decided to take a closer look at the classes of the last decade and break down what has actually […]
(13-8) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (14-7) Memphis Redbirds 6 Box Score Tough one for the Stripers as projected starter Didier Fuentes was a healthy scratch with a potential move to Atlanta in the near future. As a result Gwinnett was forced to engage in a bullpen game that had relief pitcher Tayler Scott getting the nod […]
I’m gonna tell you something you might not know. The Dodgers have scored the most runs in baseball this year, on a per-game basis. Yeah, sure, you probably surmised. The Braves are second. Yeah, okay, you probably know that because, well, you’re reading this. But, guess who’s third? Yeah, as you can tell from the […]
It seems the secret to Sunday success for the Braves is to play Sunday Night Baseball. For the second straight week, the Braves were successful via the new version of Sunday Night Baseball on Peacock. They come from behind to beat the Phillies 4-2 and completed a splendid weekend sweep of their division rival. After […]
