A pair of perennial National League contenders meet in Milwaukee on Monday to start a three game series. The Brewers are out in front of the National League Central race while they look to build their lead against the reigning World Series champion Atlanta Braves, who try to get back to .500 after a 16-18 start.

on a rough night on the farm, AJ Smith-Shawver provided a bright spot with an impressive performance in Augusta’s win.
The offensive excitement was lacking on Sunday afternoon as the teams combined to score only 12 runs. This despite a four home run game in Gwinnett as they failed to have any produce more than one run. AJ Smith-Shawver and Andrew Hoffmann provided the most notable positive performances with the former proving resilient after early...

Atlanta cannot take advantage of good efforts from its starting staff over the weekend.
The “runner on second rule to begin extras” idea seemed like it would be a polarizing addition to baseball from the beginning. While the idea to shorten games during the pandemic had some logic, it also appeared to be too much of a change to how the game was played. It also has not been a kind experience for the Braves over the past few years.
The Braves are now...
If the Braves are going to add anything this early in the season, it will be an outfielder. Ronald Acuña has been in and out of the lineup, and Eddie Rosario is at least a month or two away from returning.

The Atlanta Braves finished a losing week with a vexing loss on Sunday at Truist Park. With that result in the books, the Braves are just 16-19 through 35 games, and the Battery Power Podcast has plenty to discuss.
Episode 349 features Brad Rowland and Scott Coleman talking about the following:
Manny Piña isn’t going to play again in 2022, leaving the Braves with less depth at catcher... .... but Atlanta does have William Contreras, which is a nice...Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports
In a season with a lot of frustrating losses, that was right up there near the top of the list
This game was a great opportunity for Atlanta to win another series against a good opponent who is at a disadvantage due to the start time (8:35 AM local time for San Diego) and for Kyle Wright to rebound after his first bad start of the season last time out. Instead we all left with a bad taste in our mouths to sit with for the remainder of our Sunday.

Joe Musgrove vs. Kyle Wright
The Braves and Padres are both taking advantage of this early start to shake up their lineups, sorta. The Braves’ starting nine doesn’t look too different from things before, but features Dansby Swanson moving up to sixth despite a brutal game yesterday. Meanwhile, Austin Riley is back at third (sigh) after hitting sixth for one game and collecting a game-winning barreled double.
First pitch at 11:35am this morning...
The Braves received some fantastic news regarding Ronald Acuña. He should be back in the lineup any day now, but another outfielder is a little further away from returning.

Rough night down in the farm system, although there were some bright spots.
It wasn’t a banner night for the Braves’ farm system as their affiliates went a combine 1-3. However, we did see some good things from a surprising good Rome Braves team as well as a whole bunch of strikeouts from Kyle Muller. Lets get into the games.

Joe Musgrove has been lights-out. Can the Braves’ bats rise to the occasion?
Well, this has been quite a series so far. On Friday night, both Max Fried and Yu Darvish did alright, but the game was decided by a few bullpen implosions as the teams traded three-run homers off relievers before Atlanta’s relief corps completely melted down in the ninth. On Saturday, both Charlie Morton and Sean Manaea mostly obliterated opposing hitters, and then more bullpen...

Braves fans were thrown for a loop yesterday. On Friday, Ronald Acuña was left out of the lineup but told the media he felt fine and would be playing Saturday.

Good day to be a Braves fan
Well Saturday was quite the rollercoaster of a day for Braves fans, but all ended well. Ronald Acuna was left out of the lineup for the third straight game and it was revealed that he needed an MRI, but the MRI came back clean and he is now considered day to day with the possibility of playing Monday. On to the game itself and it was a rollercoaster in it’s own right, as the the Braves carried a narrow lead into the eighth, gave...
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has been out of the lineup since straining his groin against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.

Fun win!
After an ugly loss on Friday and some suboptimal injury news about Acuna, the Braves took the field needing a win to even the series against the Padres with Charlie Morton on the mound.
Charlie started the game off nicely, striking out the first two batters in a 1-2-3 first. He was also getting a lot of whiffs early, which has been a problem for him when he’s struggled early this season. He was similarly dominant in the second inning as he...
Unfortunately, Ronald Acuña Jr. needs an MRI on his groin after he was scheduled to play today. Hopefully this is precautionary, but if Ronald does miss any time, Drew Waters is an interesting name to potentially replace him.

Join us and discuss today’s game!
The Braves will look to avenge Friday’s “whomp whomp” of a loss on Saturday as Charlie Morton faces off against Sean Manaea for a pretty good pitching matchup on paper. The Braves will play this game shortly after news broke that Ronald Acuna will get an MRI for his groin that he injured earlier this week. With the Braves’ superstar missing, you can see the Statcast profiles of...
