Baseball is complicated yet beautiful. The peak of human performance pitted against the peak of human performance. Being good at baseball takes impeccable skill, determination, and patience. Most importantly, it takes time. 95% of baseball players take a few years to find their stride and produce. Ozzie Albies isn’t 95% of baseball players. The Braves second
The deals just keep on coming in. The Braves acquired C John Ryan Murphy from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash considerations. Robert Murray broke the news moments ago. Murphy could potentially pose as extensive depth for McCann and struggling Flowers. He’s posting a .177/.250/.419 slash line with four homers and seven RBIs. A potential move
The Braves finally have their closer. Atlanta acquired RHP Shane Greene from the Detroit Tigers for prospects that will be named later. Buster Olney broke the news just moments ago.

The road to October just got a bit bumpier. The Braves continue to have a clear motive as we near ever closer to the trade deadline: add a responsible rotation arm and a proven closer. For the most part, that continues to be the plan. That is, until, this weekend happened. This comes as a

May 15th, 2019. Remember that day. On a warm Wednesday in the middle of May, the Atlanta Braves franchise changed forever. It’s been just a shade over two weeks since Austin Riley broke into the Big Leagues. If you’ve been following along, you know how exciting it’s been to watch this kid. If you haven’t
A lot can happen in 21 years. It took Ronald Acuna Jr 21 years to finally take over Major League Baseball. It took 21 years for Hank Aaron to pass Babe Ruth on the all time home run list. And now it took 21 years for the All Star Game to come back to Atlanta.
The Braves seem to have found themselves in 2018 form once again. We’re a few days to the end of May and Atlanta has won six of the eight series played this month, including five in a row. After the tough losing streak to Los Angeles, Snit came to his senses and put Acuna back
Last night was a…rough one. The Braves were on pace to win the series well into last night’s game. Needless to say, things didn’t really go as planned. A heartbreaking 9th inning ended with a walk-off RBI single by Joe Panik, splitting the series by the bay. Luke Jackson, or The Sliderman, came in late
