Given the Braves lost Spencer Strider for the season after essentially just one start, the pitching staff has been far better than anybody could have expected. Every single pitcher in Atlanta’s current starting rotation has an ERA+ of 103 or better and the highest FIP among the group is 3.64. The bullpen has also been
An argument could be made that the Falcons didn’t have a clear vision for this offseason, which is how they ended up handing Kirk Cousins $180 million in free agency and taking a quarterback in the top 10. However, what cannot be argued is the Falcons had a plan on draft night. Terry Fontenot was
The Braves pitching staff has been unbelievable in recent weeks, but the best general managers never stop adding throughout the season.

Earlier this week, the Braves announced a promotion to AA Mississippi for one of their more exciting pitching prospects Rolddy Muñoz. ROSTER MOVE: RHP Rolddy Muñoz has been promoted to our roster from High-A @GoEmperors. Muñoz was 1-1 with a 5.23 ERA in Rome, with 4 walks and 19 strikeouts in 7 games. Our roster
To say the Braves season is off to an odd start doesn’t even do it justice. They currently sit at 20-9, the best record in baseball, yet they’ve gotten to this point in a manner few could have expected. For starters, the injury bug struck the Braves swiftly over the first few weeks of the
For all of the concerns about the Braves rotation following the injury to Spencer Strider, there have been absolutely no issues through the first month. Max Fried has found his footing, tossing 15 scoreless innings over his last two outings. One being a complete game shutout against the Marlins, which he finished in just 92
For the first hour of the first round of the NFL Draft, everything was going to plan.
