Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy’s offensive ability demand the move.
The time is now. An easy argument could be made that time should have been when the Atlanta Braves added Eddie Rosario to the active roster two weeks ago.
It is time for the Braves to add a third catcher to their active roster.
Last night, starting catcher Sean Murphy played a key role in the team’s ninth inning rally to send the game to extra innings....

The Braves lack of fear around injured pitching prospects may have netted another gem
In prospect talk we tend to focus on the best-of-the-best in any given system. This has validity, as those are the prospects that are most likely to be relevant names five years from now. However, sometimes it’s important to take a look at guys further down the list who may show propensity for moving north on top prospect lists. Today’s look...

The Braves will be avoiding Paul Skenes in this series but that doesn’t mean it’ll be a walk in the park for Atlanta in Pittsburgh, either.
Right out of the gate, the first good news that the Atlanta Braves are getting when it comes to this series in Pittsburgh is that they won’t have to deal with Paul Skenes. Not only that, but the Braves are also going to miss out on Mitch Keller as well. Now granted, the Pirates are only 5-11 in games where...
The Braves announced Friday that they’ve designated outfielder Eddie Rosario for assignment. His spot on the roster will go to infielder Luke Williams, whose contract has been selected from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Atlanta is not stealing bases again. Is that bad?
We all have recurring nightmares. They’re not always the same, but they usually are in similar locations, feelings, and incidents. Most psychologists think this is the mind trying to resolve certain things, and the belief is that a lot of it is the mind trying to figure out painful experiences and make sense of them.
My recurring dream usually has me running exceptionally slow, and when I was younger,...

The answer is probably yes
For perhaps obvious reasons, no one really tracks bunts. Oh, sure, they track successful bunts, in the sense that sacrifice bunts are a tracked stat, but bunts for hits, unsuccessful bunts of either sort, and so on? Who knows. We do have Baseball Savant, which has a flag for “is bunt,”...

Schwellenbach looks to get back on track after a shaky few weeks.
