Following a month-long postponement to the start of the season, the minor leagues are back in full force in 2021 and that means we can finally watch the Braves most heralded prospects again. Last year’s canceled season was obviously warranted given the real world issues the sport was forced to deal with, but boy was it
Today Braves Country wakes up having won two of three against the Dodgers this past weekend. I’m not sure there’s anything that can top that, but there was still some action worth covering down on the farm Sunday. Week 4 of the 2021 minor league season is now complete, and most teams have played exactly
The Braves organization was swept last night, as not only did the Dodgers beat the Braves, but all four full-season affiliates were defeated as well. But just because none of the clubs down on the farm won any of its games doesn’t mean there weren’t some big performances. Here’s a recap of Friday’s Braves minor
I’ve made it to the finish line, the third and final part of my three-part series checking in on the Braves top 30 prospects. If you would like to catch up on the first two installments, here they are… Nos. 30-21 Nos. 20-11 In one of the previous installments of this series, I mentioned that
Thursday featured yet another offensive party for the M-Braves, though a different top-30 prospect orchestrated it. If you ever want a little break from the immense frustration of watching Atlanta this season, spend an evening checking out the organization’s Double-A club. Following last night’s win, Mississippi has now won six of its last seven games.Â
It’s a bit dramatic to call any single series during a season the defining series of the year, especially when it’s barely June and there’s still nearly 70% of the schedule remaining.

The Braves’ loss on Wednesday night was one of those that just hurts a little more than usual. Never mind the fact that the team has now lost two in a row, or five of 10… or even the fact that its playoff odds currently sit at less than 20%, per FanGraphs. Those reasons alone are frustrating
In 2019, the Braves bucked the trend of drafting pitchers with its first pick — a strategy that, at the time, had been the organization’s for the last three consecutive drafts. Carter Stewart (not signed), Kyle Wright and Ian Anderson — all no. 1 picks by Atlanta from 2016-18. Sure, Austin Riley broke the mold
The Braves made a late-inning comeback last night, although the bullpen couldn’t come through, and Atlanta lost its second game in a row. Things are looking grim at the MLB level, but good thing we still have plenty to look forward to down on the farm. Here’s a recap of Wednesday’s action… Gwinnett Stripers
Yesterday marked the beginning of Week 5 down on the farm as most of the Braves’ four full-season minor league affiliates have now completed their first 25 games of the 2021 regular-season schedule. As always, Tuesday featured plenty of action… AAA – Gwinnett Stripers (14-11) L, 6-2 vs. Jacksonville SP, J. De La Cruz
