It’s quiet out there today. I went out this morning to send some stuff in the mail from my eBay store. Living in a town of 23,000 means you kind of already know everyone’s routine, even if you don’t know them personally. Basically, I live in a modernized Mayberry up here in central Arkansas. Having
Dear experts at FS1: thank you for counting the Braves out. You should do it more often. The Braves did what they keep doing every time they seem to have a big game: shatter expectations and prove everybody wrong. They did just that tonight, taking down the Dodgers in Game 2, riding the momentum from
As a brave soldier once said, “just let me get one more.” If you don’t know the quote, go watch Hacksaw Ridge. It’s an incredible movie. Anyways, the Braves went into Game 2 today with chips on their shoulders and everything to prove. Coming off a 9-5 finish yesterday, it looked like they still had
Wow. That was exciting. Never in my life have I seen a postseason Game 1 that invigorating, as the Braves kicked off the Wild Card Series with a pitcher’s duel of the century, literally.

The road to the World Series will undoubtedly be one with zero navigation and two busted headlights, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy what little scenery we have in front of us right now. The Braves are in week six of the ever-confusing 2020 MLB season, and with only four weeks left until the
In a year of nothing but dark clouds, today we got a silver lining. It was announced minutes ago that LHP Cole Hamels will throw another bullpen session today. Hamels, who signed with Atlanta this past offseason, has seen more than his fair share of bad luck in 2020. He’s been on the IL since
Well, boys, we’re back. And, in pure form, today ended in dramatic fashion. Game one of our first series with the New York Mets marks opening day for Braves fans everywhere; and it could already be in contention for pitching duel of the year. Jacob deGrom and Mike Soroka put on a clinic today, totaling
The inevitable happened. The Braves sent veteran arm Cole Hamels to the 45-day DL today due to tricep tendinitis. David O’Brien broke the news moments ago. The loss of newly-acquired Hamels eliminates a strong veteran presence around the clubhouse and, of course, opens up a spot in the rotation. Hamels is expected to return mid-September.
No matter what happens, the 2020 season will be one for the history books. It’s been 26 years since MLB saw an inconsistent season like 2020, albeit due to the infamous strike, rather than a global pandemic, making it the first time in those 26 years that MLB will not see its total of 162
COVID-19 ends the season of yet another great. Felix Hernandez announced his plans on Saturday night to sit out the 2020 season. Jon Heyman was the first to report it. Hernandez, who signed a one-year deal this offseason, says he wants to ensure the safety of his family and himself among significant growth of COVID-19
