It’s time, ladies and gentlemen. All of our fighting, heartbreak, injuries, and determination paid off in the form of 97 wins. The Braves got the crown back in 2019 despite every analyst counting them out before the season began, which only fueled a team loaded with youthful stars. Now here we are. A few mere
I don’t know about you, but this one feels a bit sweeter than last year’s. Let’s flashback to early March. Spring training has ended, opening day is a few short days away, and the Braves are about to start their campaign. As often happens, all the experts, major publications, and fans cast their predictions for
It’s been a strange season. Or at least a funny last couple of weeks. Chris Sale has an ERA of 4.40 on the year. Reds phenom Aristedes Aquino has 15 homers in his first 32 games. The Twins are leading the league in home runs while the Red Sox sit nine games away from elimination,
I don’t know about you, but I had a good weekend. I spent some time with my dog, knocked out some wedding planning, and, probably most excitingly (don’t tell my fiancée), saw the Braves take down the Big Bad Dodgers. The Braves won a critical series against Los Angeles this weekend, potentially giving us a
Baseball is complicated yet beautiful. The peak of human performance pitted against the peak of human performance. Being good at baseball takes impeccable skill, determination, and patience. Most importantly, it takes time. 95% of baseball players take a few years to find their stride and produce. Ozzie Albies isn’t 95% of baseball players. The Braves second
The deals just keep on coming in. The Braves acquired C John Ryan Murphy from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash considerations. Robert Murray broke the news moments ago. Murphy could potentially pose as extensive depth for McCann and struggling Flowers. He’s posting a .177/.250/.419 slash line with four homers and seven RBIs. A potential move
The Braves finally have their closer. Atlanta acquired RHP Shane Greene from the Detroit Tigers for prospects that will be named later. Buster Olney broke the news just moments ago.

The road to October just got a bit bumpier. The Braves continue to have a clear motive as we near ever closer to the trade deadline: add a responsible rotation arm and a proven closer. For the most part, that continues to be the plan. That is, until, this weekend happened. This comes as a
A lot can happen in five days. It takes five days to get from Monday to Friday, which feels more like five weeks. It takes five days for a pitcher to rest before his next start. It took Austin Riley five days to knock two homers, four RBIs and a .421 average in his first
Atlanta’s rotation, led by budding ace Max Fried and rookie Mike Soroka, just got a little bit scarier. David O’Brien of the Athletic reported that the Braves have agreed to terms with Dallas Keuchel. The deal is likely for one year. #Braves have agreed to terms with left-hander Dallas Keuchel, sources tell The Athletic.Likely a
