After taking Bijan Robinson with the #8 pick in the draft, the Falcons quietly have one of the best skill position groups in football. There isn’t a better running back room. Robinson is going to be a star, Tyler Allgeier just broke the Falcons rookie rushing record, and Cordarrelle Patterson is the best third running
The Braves underachieved in the month of May. This is arguably the most complete roster in baseball, and they managed to finish under .500, including a lost series to the worst team in the league in the Oakland Athletics to end the month. It was tough to watch at times, but despite that, MLB Network’s
The Braves don’t have a lot of prospect capital to make a blockbuster trade prior to this year’s trade deadline, so I wouldn’t expect one. It’s not like the team needs to do anything drastic to improve their roster, but Alex Anthopoulos is generally a busy man at the trade deadline. And as I wrote
The Braves have had an interesting ride over the first two months. It started off with a bang, and it looked like they could be on their way to something special. But the month of May has brought some hurdles. The Braves are 11-13 over their last 24 games and are coming off a series
Yesterday, I covered the three biggest positives through the first third of the season.

The Braves have struggled over the last month following a scorching hot start to the season. When that happens, some of the team’s flaws are exposed. Alex Anthopoulos has shown in the past he will look to upgrade the roster in any way possible at the trade deadline, even if it means adding to a
PFF is one of the better advanced analytic references in the football world, but that doesn’t mean they won’t leave you scratching your head from time to time. Which is exactly what their recent interior defender rankings have me doing at this exact moment. For starters, it’s actually not all that bad for Falcons fans.
The Braves did the unthinkable yesterday, calling up 20-year-old top prospect AJ Smith-Shawver to the majors. The right-hander has been nearly unhittable on the farm, but he also began the season in high-A Rome, pitching only 19 innings between AA-AAA before receiving the call. To say that’s unprecedented doesn’t even do it justice. There have
MLB’s Opening Day feels like it was yesterday, yet here we are, one-third of the way through a six-month grind. The Braves season thus far has been a mixed bag. They began as one of the hottest teams in baseball, but the last month has some fans feeling uneasy, especially following back-to-back losses to the
It has not been a good month for the Braves. Once one of the hottest teams in baseball, they’ve lost 13 of their last 23, and it feels like they may have just hit rock bottom, losing back-to-back games to the A’s to start their week. Oakland came into their series with Atlanta having lost
