It’s been a busy day for the Braves front office in what should have been the near mid-season mark. The Braves officially signed first-round pick Jared Shuster, third-rounder Jesse Franklin and fourth-rounder Spencer Strider today. Jim Callis was the first to report on this nearly an hour ago. 4th-rder Spencer Strider signs with @Braves
The long-awaited day is here. Through all the bans, social distancing, cancelations, and pure crazy, it’s finally Opening Day… Kind of… Since regulations are still in place, keeping everyone isolated and sports on the back burner, I took it upon myself to provide whatever coverage I could. Yes, even if that coverage is on a
The year is 1918. A rare and misunderstood strand of the flu is running rampant, eventually wiping out 50 million people around the world; 675,000 American citizens among the unlucky 50 million. One-third of the world became exposed, stirring belief that the end is coming. You may know it as the Spanish Flu. Fast forward
What’s up, Braves country? It’s been a while. A lot has happened in the last little bit. The Braves signed Marcell Ozuna to man a vacant spot in the outfield. Aspiring weather man and former third baseman Josh Donaldson moved up north to Minnesota. I found a venue for my wedding in October (that’s not
And just like that, Atlanta has their cleanup hitter. The Braves and Marcell Ozuna reached an agreement on a 1 year, $18M deal for the 2020 season. Jeff Passan broke the news moments ago. The deal is a tad shocking, as multiple reports have said that Ozuna preferred a multi-year deal. This just reflects positively
It’s a cold one today in central Arkansas. I’m a Marietta native turned Arkansas, going on about seven years now in the Natural State. Already being from another southern state, I thought I was well prepared for the cold winters of a state known to locals as the “buckle of the Bible Belt.” The cold
This offseason keeps getting better. The Braves made another splash on Wednesday afternoon, adding a veteran lefty to their rotation in Cole Hamels – first reported by Jeff Passan. I don’t know about y’all, but I love the speed of this offseason far more than last year’s. Don’t get me wrong; Donaldson was everything I could
Yesterday was an unexpectedly eventful day. The deadline for players to accept or reject qualifying offers was yesterday at 5:00 PM, and 15 minutes before the bell rang, Alex Anthopoulos made a significant, albeit shocking, bullpen addition. The acquisition of the finesse arm out of San Fran bulks up an already strengthened bullpen. Smith, Melancon,
This is it, Braves fans. It’s do, or die time. The road paved by young superstars and years of rebuilding ends today or splits off west to Los Angeles. The back-to-back Braves proved everybody wrong winning the East. Now, it’s time to kick that M*****F****** door down. It’s now or never; win or go home.
Game over. Kolten Wong swings and misses on a ball in the dirt, and just like that, we’re tied. Riding the momentum of last night’s tragic loss, the Braves blanked St. Louis on the heels of the Mike Foltynewicz we know and love. Foltynewicz, who began the season on the IL and struggled wildly upon
