A rare positive Sunday for the Braves.
Sunday followed the same script the Braves have had to rely on for many of their wins in 2024.
Dominant starting pitching mixed with disappointing offense for much of the game followed up by making fewer late-game mistakes than the other team to get the win.
That is how Atlanta was able to comeback twice versus the Blue Jays to get the series win on Sunday. And while it may be suspenseful and frustrating, it is a...

The trade deadline addition rejoins the lineup after a day off Saturday and the Braves could really use for him to get going at the plate again.
Jorge Soler is back in the lineup, as expected, batting second. The trade deadline addition rejoins the lineup after a day off Saturday and the Braves could really use for him to get going at the plate again.

Smith-Shawver got ten whiffs with his changeup while Drake Baldwin went deep in a Stripers loss
It’s the final full Saturday on the farm system, and there were a few exciting pitching prospects in action in the Atlanta Braves system. AJ Smith-Shawver wielded his splitter to great effect in Triple-A, striking out 11 batters over seven innings. Lucas Braun went seven innings in Double-A as well, and on the offensive end Drake Baldwin hit his 11th...

Atlanta Braves news and notes from Saturday
The Braves are in a really tough spot right now, on the outside of the playoff bubble and missing a horde of bats to injury. It is unclear whether they will get Austin Riley or Ozzie Albies back before the end of the season, Ronald Acuna remains out for the season, and Whit Merrifield is out for an unclear period of time. They are only 3 games behind the first wildcard spot, with a four-game cluster for three NL...

Spencer Schwellenbach was once a savior and a stopper, but the strikeouts have gone south in September so far
Spencer Schwellenbach’s most recent start prior to his shellacking by the Blue Jays on Saturday night was a real kick in the proverbial nards: he danced through the raindrops despite a lack of whiffs and strikeouts, and was ultimately done in by balls finding grass in a close game his third time through — the Phillies later...

Atlanta bolsters infield depth with veteran utility man.
The Atlanta Braves made a move tonight to bolster the team’s infield depth by acquiring veteran infielder Cavan Biggio from the San Francisco Giants for cash considerations.
The Giants have traded Cavan Biggio to the Braves for cash … that’s four teams this year for Biggio.

Whit Merrifield’s rough week continues
We’ve got lineups and Whit Merrifield is set to miss his third game this week and according to some reports that have come out, he might be missing a lot more games in the future. I’d like to take this moment to apologize for tempting the baseball gods by saying that the Atlanta Braves’ injury luck was starting to turn because clearly they wanted to show me that this is still...
For a while, the Braves core was considered the best in baseball by a wide margin. Alex Anthopoulos did an exquisite job building the roster with young, homegrown talent and external veterans brought in through free agency or trade.

Is the bad news good news or the good news bad news?
Whit Merrifield has a fractured foot according to multiple reports. Although that is bad news given that the initial reports last night that his X-ray was negative, the CT scan he also had sdid confirm that he has a fracture.
Merrifield has a fracture in his left foot. Doctors told him six weeks last night. But they are now thinking he may be able to play during next...

The Braves’ rookie phenom will get a chance to show that his stumble against the Phillies was an aberration
In a season of struggle and acrimony, perhaps the most contentious game of the year came during Spencer Schwellenbach’s most recent start. The rookie right-hander navigated five innings without a run tacked onto his ledger, but a severe lack of swing-and-miss came to roost against him in the sixth, as the Phillies...
In 2024, there are two things you are guaranteed to see on a nightly basis when watching the Braves: At least one player exit the game with an injury concern An absolutely dominant performance from a starting pitcher The latter of which is the subject of this post.
