In a Game 1 that felt incredibly crucial to the outcome of the overall series, the Braves found a way to overcome the LA Dodgers, winning 3-2 to take a 1-0 lead in the NLCS. With Clayton Kershaw banged up, Trevor Bauer still inactive due to his off-the-field issues, and Max Scherzer needing more rest
The 2021 minor league season may have ended several weeks ago, but for the players chosen to participate in the Arizona Fall League, a new campaign has begun. This past Wednesday, the 2021 AFL season started up, and for the seven Braves prospects representing the organization, it’s an opportune time to continue working on their
I was really hoping for a different outcome, but on Thursday night the LA Dodgers defeated the Giants 2-1 in Game 5 of the NLDS meaning the Braves have finally found their NLCS opponent. The two Pennant matchups are set: on Saturday Atlanta and LA will fight for the NL title, and on Friday Boston
For the second year in a row, the Braves are headed to the National League Championship Series. Thanks to consistent dominance from both the starting rotation and the bullpen as well as timely bursts of hitting against the Milwaulkee Brewers in the NLDS, Atlanta once again has an opportunity to win an NL Pennant and

The Braves kicked off its
This year’s NLDS was an exciting one for the Braves. And I say that not simply because the team advanced. Over the last four games, Atlanta and Milwaukee nearly went stride for stride the entire time as it felt as if every contest was seemingly decided by just one or two plays on offense. It
Despite his absence in the Braves starting lineup for the first three games of the NLDS, Joc Pederson has found a way to make an impact. In case you’ve missed it, Pederson started the postseason a perfect 3 for 3 as the team’s primary pinch-hitter, slugging critical homers in Game 1 and 3 of the
The Braves dealt with adversity all through the regular season, and now into the playoffs, the team must do its best to overcome yet another blow. As our own Jake Gordon reported just hours before Tuesday’s NLDS matchup against the Brewers, Atlanta lead-off hitter Jorge Soler tested positive for COVID-19, making him unavailable for the
Thanks to the carry-over from 2020, many expected the Braves to roster one of the top bullpens in baseball this year. With Chris Martin, AJ Minter and Will Smith projected to hold down the late-innings, and what appeared to be a decent amount of depth, preserving leads was thought to be strength for Atlanta in
As if there wasn’t enough evidence already, this past Saturday Max Fried showed us how far he’s come since his most-recent Division Series start with the Braves. Against the Brewers in Game 2, the 27-year-old lefty cruised to a win, striking out nine in an outing in which he lasted six innings and allowed just
