If you’re a Braves fan headed to Truist Park tonight, take a moment to soak it all in when Max Fried toes the rubber for the first pitch of the ball game, because it very well may be his last start with the Braves at Truist Park. Of course, we hope that’s not the case.
The inclement weather that is currently hitting Atlanta really threw a wrench into the Braves’ plans as far as their pitching is concerned. With five games remaining in the season, Truist Park will play host to the Royals for a three-game set this weekend, followed by a doubleheader with the Mets on Monday if needed.
Both the Braves and the Mets got screwed when Major League Baseball announced Wednesday and Thursday’s games would be canceled with a doubleheader scheduled for Monday to decide playoff positioning if needed. It’s almost a guarantee that at least one of those games will be played, while the rest of the playoff teams rest, and
Not only did the Braves come through with a much-needed victory over the Mets last night, but Reynaldo Lopez also took an encouraging step in his recovery from shoulder inflammation, tossing his first bullpen. The right-hander is eligible to come off the IL as soon as tomorrow, and according to Mark Bowman, that seems to
Mother Nature picked a bad time to send a hurricane through the heart of Georgia. The rain began coming down early afternoon on Wednesday and is expected to pound Atlanta for the next several days.

Exactly two weeks ago, I said Michael Harris II has to be better if the Braves want any chance of making the postseason. The guy I’m looking at most is Michael Harris II. Defensively, he hasn’t missed a beat since returning from a significant hamstring injury that cost him two months. Offensively, however, it’s been
Coming into Tuesday night, all the pressure was on the Braves to save their season, and the club responded with one of their most complete games of the entire year. The rookie Spencer Schwellenbach continued to prove he’s as cold-blooded as they come. The moment wasn’t too big for him. If anything, he looked to
Tuesday night felt like a game the Braves had to have if they wanted to potentially make the postseason. It was undoubtedly the most important game of the season, and all eyes were on the rookie Spencer Schwellenbach. Schwellenbach’s rise to the majors isn’t one you see too often. He began the year in High-A
Brian Snitker had some good and bad news on the injury front ahead of today’s series opener against the Mets. The bad news, Austin Riley’s season is over. He had a CT scan on his fractured wrist, and it isn’t healing fast enough for him to return, even if the Braves make the playoffs. The
