On a winless day in the farm system, we saw two struggling bats get going and one of the most interesting young arms in the system put up another strong performance.
Sunday saw the Braves farm system play three games, and lose each one. While we did see two of the top starting pitcher prospects in the system struggle on the day, we may have seen the step forward needed for both of the recent bats promoted to Mississippi, as well as another big appearance from Victor Vodnik, and more...

Braves Get Statement Win, Beat Down Phillies 15-1
The Atlanta Braves wrapped up their series against the Phillies in style with a 15-1 blowout win. Josh Donaldson homered for the third straight game while Mike Foltynewicz allowed one run over six innings to hold the Phillies at bay.
Newcomb “feels fine” after frightening injury
Good news for Sean Newcomb who may have escaped serious injury after being struck by a batted ball in the head during Saturday’s game...
Happy Sunday, friends.
It was an awesome week for the Atlanta Braves and the Talking Chop Podcast is back to discuss everything that transpired. TC’s Eric Cole joins the show for Episode 170 and topics include the following:
Eric’s thoughts on the MLB Draft and Atlanta’s evolving approach Checking in on early All-Star voting for the Braves and how things might shake out Kevin Gausman is on the injured list and AJ Minter is back Eric’s view of the Dallas Keuchel signing and how he...The Braves’ offense stayed in high gear on Sunday and helped the Braves stretch the division lead to 2 ½ games
If the Braves were feeling ill effects of losing a late-night heartbreaker on Saturday, they certainly didn’t show on Sunday afternoon. The offense stayed white hot, dropping a 15-1 drubbing on a beleaguered Phillies pitching staff. Mike Foltynewicz was wild, but effectively so, and put up one of his better starts of the season on his way to his second win.
The Braves set...
Sean Newcomb may have dodged a serious bullet. After taking a 102-mph line drive off the back of the head in last night’s game against the Phillies, Mark Bowman reports that Newcomb slept well and is feeling fine the day after.
Newcomb slept throughout the night without any problem. He has a bump on his head and his neck is a little stiff. But other than that, he says he feels fine. https://t.co/AgqtSF3q4c

It’s Foltynewicz vs. Velasquez in a Sunday matinee
Bragging rights are at stake this afternoon, as the Braves and Phillies will each seek to sway the series. Though the Phillies will walk away from this series with the better head-to-head season record between the two, the Braves could even the series record at one apiece with a victory today.
The Braves’ offense, which has been on a roll recently, has looked rejuvenated against a Phillies team that stifled them in the first weekend of...
No lineup trickery today as Snitker goes with the standard lineup
While both the Braves and the Phillies would love to scratch a win across today, Brian Snitker and Gabe Kapler will be going about it in different ways. Snitker will roll with his standard configuration, while Kapler will make some small tweaks that have earned him a reputation as a perpetual tinkerer.

The Braves will stay in first place no matter what happens today, but a victory would create some breathing room
Atlanta’s eight-game winning streak is now a thing of the past, but the Braves still sit atop the NL East by 1½ games over the Phillies. After a ninth-inning bullpen implosion caused the Braves to drop one at the hands of their division rival on Saturday night, the Braves will try to start a new winning streak on Sunday afternoon and create some distance at the top of the...
The Braves blew another save, and the shortcomings for this team are quickly being pared down to a singular issue.

Braves can’t hold onto lead in ninth, lose 6-5 to Phillies
The Braves were down, then they led, then they lost. This team still needs a closer, just like it did in April. Those recurring issues aside, the offense was solid again, scoring five runs highlighted by a missile into the Hank Aaron Terrace by Josh Donaldson, which gave Atlanta a 5-4 lead at the time. The...
Luke Jackson made one of the most costly errors of the season so far.
After a dramatic walkoff win in last night’s game the Braves were back in action tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies and Aaron Nola.
The Braves drew first blood in the second inning against the struggling Nola as Austin Riley sent a ball out to left field for his 11th home run of the season to give the Braves a quick 1-0 lead.
Sean Newcomb was impressive, making a spot start out of the bullpen. Sadly though his...
Sean Newcomb had to leave his start early on Saturday after getting hit by a line drive.
One of the absolute scariest things about the game of baseball is when a line drive comes right back at a pitcher. There are guys who throw 100+ mph that would definitely be scary to get a HBP from, but the batter is prepared for a ball headed in his direction. That isn’t always the case with pitchers, pitchers are often not in a great position to defend themselves after their delivery, and it is often...
Newcomb vs. Nola
The Braves are back at it tonight looking to extend their lead in the NL East to 3.5 games. In case you missed it earlier today we broke down the pitching matchup between Sean Newcomb and Aaron Nola. The teams also released their lineups, and you can find links to those posts just below:

Brian McCann will get some rest.
The Braves will give Brian McCann the game off tonight. He has to have a sore back after he carried the team on it in last night’s game.

Bullpen merry-go-round: the continuation
It feels like it’s been at least a little while since the Braves have engaged in bullpen swapsies (indeed, the May 20 acquisition of Anthony Swarzak was the most recent reliever-for-reliever roster move), but they’re at it again before Game Two of their series with the Philadelphia Phillies.
The #Braves today recalled RHP Huascar Ynoa from Triple-A Gwinnett and optioned RHP Dan Winkler to @GoStripers.

Sean Newcomb has not made a start for the Braves since April 13th when the team decided that his skill-set might be better suited in the bullpen.
Since then Newcomb has been nothing short of fantastic through 16 relief outings. However, with Kevin Gausman going down with “plantar fasciitis” last week Newcomb will be pressed into starting duty until Dallas Keuchel is deemed ready to make his debut.
Newcomb started 30 games for Atlanta...
