Braves show resilience through pitching woes, aim to get Fried back by NLDS
Sitting a mere ten days away from their first playoff game, the owners of baseball’s best record have a serious issue. The Braves number one and three starting pitchers are on the injured list, with the latter ineligible for the NLDS roster.

Raisel Iglesias wins NL Reliever of the Month in August and represents the Braves pitching prowess
On a team as loaded with talent as the 2023 Atlanta Braves, it’s easy to miss a standout performance here or there. Say, like Raisel Iglesias, the Braves closer. Iglesias must have been tired of being overlooked, so he threw 13 scoreless innings for Atlanta in August to claim the NL Reliever Continue reading

What to make of the Braves’ series loss to the Padres
Well, that sucked. But it only sucks as much as the Braves let it. They lost three of four games to a loaded Padres team that is expected by most to at least make it back to the NLCS, if not further. The Braves are projected similarly, so convincingly losing a four game set at Continue reading

Braves, Padres match the spectacle of Truist Park’s opening night in 7-6 Atlanta victory
The Braves and Padres gave the sold out Truist Park crowd a game worthy of the Atlanta home opener of the 2023 season. Spencer Strider threw gas in the top of the first inning that probably could have fueled the F-22 and F-35 jets that performed the pre-game flyover. He was effective against the Padres Continue reading

Harris II, Acuña Jr are Sparkplugs for the braves

I heaped praise on Austin Riley for beating the cover off of a baseball in St. Louis with his 473 foot homerun, I have marveled at Spencer Strider for his unhittable stuff, and given the team props for their Continue reading

Repetition is key as Braves beat Cardinals 5-2 to complete series sweep
Repetition in baseball is one of the most defining aspects of the sport. Throwing pitches, swinging the bat and playing the infield are just a few aspects of the game that are predicated on successful repetition of actions. For the Braves, repetition is the reason they swept the Cardinals in St. Louis this week. Today’s Continue reading

Dodd, Defense shine for Braves in 4-1 win over Cardinals
Austin Riley is not a patient man. I don’t know him, but I am confident this is true because he hit a first-inning homerun for the second consecutive day. Why wait? Home plate umpire Junior Valentine had an inconsistent game calling balls and strikes, so the Braves just controlled what they can control- their defense. Continue reading

Braves offense works early as Atlanta beats St. Louis, 8-4
Cardinals Pitcher Jake Woodford had not allowed a homerun in33 innings pitched prior to play tonight. This was something the Braves could not abide. Austin Riley hit the fourth longest homerun in Busch Stadium history, a 473 foot no doubter to start the scoring in the top of the first. The opening half-inning was marred Continue reading

Braves option Shuster to AAA, add Dylan Dodd to MLB and 40 man roster
Monday– The Braves optioned Jared Shuster to AAA today, following his start yesterday. This was always the plan, as Dylan Dodd was announced to be a part of the MLB rotation but was not added to the opening day roster. The lefty will debut against the Cardinals tomorrow night. This move allows the Braves to Continue reading

Braves bats falter as Jared Shuster’s debut is spoiled by Nationals
