Boynton Beach is Much Lower Than Coors Field, which is High Streaks –> Warning: there will be math. So the Braves are now in uncharted territory: 52 games, almost 1/3rd of a season, without a 3 game win streak or losing...

He’s B-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-c-k We all know Ronald Acuña Jr. is special. How special? Well, he had, before tonight, 395 games played in the major leagues. Comparing him to the other 3,928 players who managed to play 395 games or...

Here’s how one session went at the craps table. Just a few things to note: You play 161 games just to have a lousy 11.3% chance of winning the World Series. Given that the division winners are guaranteed to be one of the...

The last time the Braves won the World Series, I had just begun a job at Blockbuster Video making $4.25 an hour. The night of Game 6 I was scheduled to work from 5-close which was usually around 1am. I had set the VCR to record...

We’re lucky. That word means a lot of different things in baseball. It might mean we got a generous or undeserved call from the umpires, like Max’s strike three against Alex Bregman in the fifth. It could mean that...

The Braves head back to Houston in need of 1 victory while the Astros need to take both. If Jonathan F is right, and the playoffs are essentially a crapshoot, the odds are in the Braves favor to win this World Series. I’m...

Of course it would’ve been so much more satisfying to clinch a World Series win at Truist Park on Sunday. Up 3-1 in the series, and sporting a 4-0 advantage against the Astros after the first inning last night, it almost felt...

The second consecutive bullpen game proved to be one too many for the Braves, who squandered a 1st inning grand slam by Adam Duvall as well as the first of their three potential chances to close out the series. The Astros...

It’s elimination game…but for the stinkin’ ASStros. There’s a +105 ATL money line tonight so make sure, if you’re betting, get those bets in at betway.com, a Braves Journal sponsor through the...

Don’t know how this going to work out, but this recap is my attempt to live blog game 4 of the 2021 World Series. Quite often I’ll follow along with the comments on the game threads, but tonight you are getting my...

Quarantining sucks. I’m a social butterfly. I want ALL the people, and when my youngest daughter Finn went down with COVID, I knew our school’s protocol: 10-day quarantine. But today’s piece is a tail of...

I don’t hate the Astros. There I said it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Braves fan and I want them to win. But I can’t muster the same level of animosity towards the Astros as I do for say the Yankees or...

Hey crew! To try to bring in some revenue to the site, we’ve set up a few sponsorships that will be a part of our team so we can get away from those pesky Google Ads. It’ll take a few months to determine if the sites...

With last night’s 7-2 loss to the Astros, the Braves come home to Atlanta having  split the first two games of the World Series.  Our guys now own home field advantage in what’s become a best 3 out of 5...

Game 2 is coming at us live in a few hours which means it’s game thread time! Before we get to the lineup, let’s take a look at the news of the day: Replacing Charlie Morton Left-handed pitcher Tucker Davidson has...
