Last night, the Braves brought their record back to 10 games over .500 with a 3-1 victory over the Giants, but it was Brian Snitker making all of the headlines. During the fifth inning, Ozzie Albies fouled a ball into his own dugout, where the ball hit Brian in his Snitkers. "That bounced right into

Ahead of the Braves’ second game against the Giants, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution provided us with some excellent news that Michael Harris II ran for the first time since his hamstring injury, a significant step towards returning to Atlanta.

The Braves will be active at this year’s trade deadline; Alex Anthopoulos is known for wheeling and dealing, but there’s a clear and obvious need to upgrade this offense. If Atlanta’s pitching staff doesn’t throw a gem, the Braves lose. It’s that simple. Over the last 26 games when an opponent scored more than three

Coming into Wednesday’s outing against the Giants, Reynaldo Lopez only made one start on regular rest, but Braves skipper Brian Snitker confirmed that the veteran will not get an extra day of rest before his next start on Sunday against the Phillies in the series finale.
