The Braves continue to just cruise this season, in a refreshing departure from last season. Chris Sale had a really nice outing against the Phillies’ lineup on Saturday, backed up by Dylan Lee and Robert Suarez, while the offense got enough done to win the game. That makes for the sixth series win this season, […]
It was a battle of the lefty aces in Philly on Saturday, as Chris Sale led the Braves against Cristopher Sanchez and the Phillies, with Atlanta seeking to secure a series win. Ronald Acuna led off the game with a 107 MPH, 404 foot fly ball that landed for an out due to a Brandon […]
We are treated to one of the better pitching matchups we will see all year between Chris Sale and Cristopher Sanchez tonight, as the Braves go for another series win, this time in Philadelphia. Join us and discuss the game in the comments below! Game Info Game Date/Time: Saturday, April 18, 7:15 p.m. EDT Location: Citizens Bank […]
Prior to tonight’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that injured shortstop Ha-Seong Kim is likely to participate in a simulated game on Thursday and has been taking batting practice. He is recovering from a broken wrist suffered after falling on ice prior to Spring Training. Kim, who the […]
The Braves have a chance to lock in another series victory to start this 2026 season, and taking home a series W in Philly would be a really nice thing to bank. They’ll have two chances to secure the series win, but today we have a massive pitching matchup between the top two lefties in […]
Many things have not felt quite right for the Atlanta Braves over the past two years. Injuries and inconsistency have plagued the club since its 104-win season of 2023. Perhaps no single player personifies those struggles more than third baseman Austin Riley. A two-time All-Star and key member of Atlanta’s World Series championship team, Riley […]
Well the Braves were able to absolutely cruise to a game 1 victory in Philly behind Martin Perez and Jose Suarez, who combined for 9.0 shutout innings. The offense broke out for 9 runs and Austin Riley hit 2 homers, a very promising sign. Beating up on Taijuan Walker is one thing, but we will […]
Long-time MLB outfielder Garret Anderson passed away earlier this week after suffering a heart attack. He was 53. Anderson played 17 seasons in the big leagues, spending 15 seasons becoming a franchise icon for the California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels before ended his career with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In his penultimate campaign, he was a member […]
All told, it was a mixed bag of results down on the farm on Friday, as Atlanta’s four minor league affiliates split their contests and went 2-2 on the night. However, there were a handful of individual performances that stood out. (12-7) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (13-6) Memphis Redbirds 5 Box Score It’s hard to get […]
The Phillies fans are pretty much over Taijian Walker. He’s yet to escape the first inning this year without allowing multiple runs. He’s on the final year of a four year, 72 million dollar contract. It’s been 3 plus seasons of 4.97/5.29/4.88 ball with 1.5 WAR (before last night’s shelling). Phillies fans want him gone, […]
The Atlanta Braves opened the road trip on a high note and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 9-0. Martín Pérez got the start and threw a sharp six innings, where he allowed just four hits. He issued two walks and struck out four. José Suarez took over in the seventh and completed the shutout. Things went […]
The Atlanta Braves entered Friday’s series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies hot. The Phillies…did not. That showed up on the field as the Braves jumped out to a big lead early and coasted to a 9-0 throttling of the Phillies in the first game of the three-game set at Citizens Bank Park, earning their major-league-leading […]
The Atlanta Braves have not lost any of their first six series of the season, the last team in the majors who can make that claim. They’re atop the NL East at 12-7 and are now taking aim at the two-time defending division champions in the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game series which begins Friday […]
Another right-handed starter on the mound means another start for Dominic Smith in the Braves lineup for Friday night’s opener of the road series against the Phillies. Smith, who is still on a torrid start to his Braves tenure, will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter with Philadelphia starting veteran Taijuan Walker on […]
It’s been quite an eventful week for Martin Perez. After allowing one run over five innings in the Braves’ 6-0 loss to Cleveland on Saturday, he was designated for assignment but elected free agency when he cleared waivers on Tuesday. However, he rejoined the Braves on a minor league contract Wednesday and was officially brought […]
“Biweekly” is kind of a dumb word. It means both “twice a week” and “once every two weeks,” and apparently, there’s no effort to create a new word to mean one of those, so that “biweekly” can be reserved for the other. To be clear, by “biweekly” here, I mean “every two weeks.” In the […]
(12-6) Gwinnett Stripers 4, (12-6) Memphis Redbirds 2 Box Score The Carlos Carassco show continued with another gem, this time a six inning shutout performance where he struck out eight and walked zero. The 39 year old continued his marvelous start to the season, a season where he’s made four starts and given up just […]
There’s no real way to answer this, but give me your take anyway. I think this is kind of a funny situation. The Braves have the guys they think are the Good Relievers: Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, Robert Suarez, Raisel Iglesias. Maybe Aaron Bummer is in that group, maybe not, I’m not sure yet. But […]
The Atlanta Braves’ day off began with another bullpen shuffle, and this time, right-hander Ian Hamilton got the call. In addition to his selection, the club optioned lefty Hayden Harris to Triple-A Gwinnett and designated righty Osvaldo Bido for assignment. 30-year-old Hamilton joined the Braves in December of last year and has yet to make […]
The big league team may be off, but we got a full slate of minor league games including a pair of rehab appearances. Spencer Strider makes his first rehab appearance, while Sean Murphy makes his second appearance. Let’s take a look at who is playing around the organization today. (11-6) Gwinnett Stripers @ (12-5) Memphis […]
Bryce Elder has made four starts and given up a grand total of one (1) run so far across four starts and 23.1 innings of work. That’s it — that’s the stat. As of now, there are only three pitchers who are ahead of Elder on the leaderboard and one of them is Shohei Ohtani. […]
The schedule keeps lining ‘em up and the Braves keep knocking ‘em down. Indeed, we’re just under 20 games into the season and the Braves are not just in first place at the moment, they’re the only team above .500 in the NL East and they still have yet to drop a series. This is […]
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have yet to lose a series this season, continue to bring pitchers in and out. Today, they made the week’s third reliever-related roster change (well, four if you consider Luke Williams a reliever). Hey, who knew that a 6.30 ERA and 6/5 K/BB rate from a marginal pitcher […]
(11-6) Gwinnett Stripers 10, (12-5) Memphis Redbirds 3 Box Score Gwinnett got a plethora of offensive firepower, as the Stripers beat a very talented Memphis Redbirds team to move to 11-6 on the season. Above all others, Aaron Schunk continues to absolutely rake with the Stripers, as he homered and drove in three runs while […]
Some time ago, we asked for feedback, and one bit of actionable feedback that I got was basically doing a check-in on player performance on a regular basis. My plan is to do that twice a month, and with the 15th of April now behind us, I’ll try to get that up today or tomorrow. […]
