The Braves have been the best team in baseball the entire season. Their lineup is historic, while their rotation and bullpen have been near the top of the league in almost every category, which is pretty amazing considering all the injuries this staff has had to battle through. This is the best Braves team I’ve
For the first time since Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot took over, there’s a new feeling around Flowery Branch — one of excitement and hope. That hasn’t existed within the Falcons fan base in quite some time, but as quickly as it built up this offseason, it can vanish even faster with a loss to
As we’ve seen over the last several weeks, the Braves farm system isn’t in as bad of shape as many think, particularly when it comes to pitching. Alex Anthopoulos and company put their focus on high-powered collegiate arms during the 2023 MLB Draft, and the early returns provide a glimmer of hope. However, there are
The Falcons and Panthers square off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday afternoon, kicking off the 2023 NFL season for the Dirty Birds. Atlanta is currently listed as a slight favorite, and on paper, they certainly have the edge, especially with injuries plaguing the Carolina receiving core, which was already a weak part of the Panthers.
In an NL Cy Young race that is wide open, Spencer Strider should have done enough to win the award. He very well could lead the league in wins, strikeouts, strikeout rate, FIP, and WHIP, but after another stinker on Wednesday night against the Cardinals in which he failed to make it out of the
Ten days ago, Ronald Acuña Jr.‘s chase to join the elusive 40/40 club seemed far-fetched. Fast forward to now, and it’s more real than ever. Acuña blasted two more homers last night in the Braves win over the Cardinals, giving him six in his last 10 games and 34 on the season. He’s officially on
If you feel like you’re reading one of these every day, it’s because you are. The Braves went back to their bread and butter during the 2023 MLB Draft, focusing on high-upside college pitchers throughout, and the results are already extremely promising. First-round pick Hurston Waldrep out of Florida has dominated each time he’s stepped
When the Braves decided to place Michael Soroka on the 15-day IL yesterday morning, it was almost a foregone conclusion that his season was over. However, it could have been much worse. After yesterday’s game, it was revealed that there was no significant damage in his arm, just inflammation. He should be just fine with
It’s been five years since the Falcons had anything better than a paper thin defense. Aging players and bad contracts have made it nearly impossible for the unit to succeed, but that is set to change in 2023. Terry Fontenot finally had money to spend in free agency, and he kept true to his word
With the addition of the 2023 draft class, the Braves are starting to have a number of pitching prospects worth getting excited about. We’ve already seen a couple of top 10 prospects make their major-league debuts this season on the mound in AJ Smith-Shawver and Darius Vines. Both could become staples of Atlanta’s staff in
