I feel crapshot. The Phillies put up 3 runs in the bottom of the 2nd and never looked back, eliminating the Braves 3 games to 1 and moving on to the NLCS. Charlie Morton was nailed in the pitching elbow by Alec Bohm leading off...

(We) don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band.Mark Knopfler Dansby Swanson’s 2 run homer in the 5th put the Braves ahead for good 3 – 2, and led the Braves to a 1 game lead in the division and a tie of...

The Braves jumped out to a 6 – 0 lead to help Kyle Wright to his 20th win and cut the Mets division lead to 1.5 games. The Braves opened the scoring in the top of the 2nd, after a Travis d’Arnaud double and a Vaughn...

Ronald Acuna Jr. crushed a 2-run homer to right in the bottom of the 3rd and doubled in 2 runs in the 4th to give the Braves a 4 – 0 lead over Aaron Nola and clinch the weekend series for the Braves. But wait,...

I regret to inform you that the Braves are not going to finish the regular season on a 32 – 0 run. George Kirby and the Mariners bullpen shut down the Braves and ended their 8-game winning streak, dropping them 1/2 game...

Ronald Acuna Jr., Adam Duvall, Eddie Rosario, Marcell Ozuna, Orlando Arcia, William Contreras, Alex Dickerson, Guillermo Heredia, Travis Demeritte, Phil Gosselin. Restlessness hovered over this outfield for the first 2 months of...

The Braves check in at 56-38 at the All-Star Break, 2.5 games behind the Mets in the division, up 6 games in the Wild Card race, and own the 3rd best record in the National League. In today’s piece, we will evaluate each...

After our spectacular run through June and the first half of July, today landed with a bit of a thud in terms of ways to end the “first half” of the season. Strider wasn’t great and the offense wasn’t great en route to a...

The Braves clinched the series win and won their fourteenth consecutive game at Nationals Park.  Before the game, news broke that Austin Riley was added to the All-Star team, as Nolan Arenado decided to sit out with a minor...

The Braves won their 13th straight game in Nationals Park on Friday, defeating the hapless gNats 8-1. 8-4. (Edit–Just noticed that I wrote this score in the top of the ninth and forgot to correct it when I completed the...

The All Star Game is a traditional time to take stock of a season. Looking at the standings at the start of today, a few observations. Every team in AL East is above 0.500. Yes, even the Orioles. In an unbalanced schedule, this...

37 times in 1982, he took one last puff on his Marlboro, extinguished the cig on the bench, exited the dugout, made his way to the on-deck circle, then to the plate, and sent a ball into orbit. 156 times, he carried the same...

It is not in every life that one is in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” see Jacqueline Kennedy walk into Parkland Hospital, work as a session musician, become famous as a musician in your own right. But Michael...

It was a frustrating game until it wasn’t. On Monday, Atlanta could only produce one run after a brilliantly pitched game by Max Scherzer. And last night, it looked like more of the same. But then Matt Olson had his moment....

One of the 60 games you’re gonna lose. Max Fried was fighting it all night — he couldn’t command or control the curveball or the fastball, really, he walked five men in five innings, and it’s something of a...

The Braves beat the Nationals in extra innings yesterday and news has not stopped bopping since. In today’s game thread piece, let’s take a look at the Braves that were selected to the All-Star team, transactions...

I wouldn’t have thought there was much reason for it, but if you were worried the Braves would overlook Washington in a series sandwiched between a couple against St. Louis and the Mets, you apparently didn’t have much room...
