Postgame Comments After Season Ending Loss
It was a September that the Braves are going to have a tough time swallowing. The Atlanta Braves go on a historic slide, no not the fun ones at the water park, a skid that completely bumped them out of the playoffs. The Braves, who led most the game, were ...
Down to the Final game
It all comes down to this, game 162. If the Braves can bounce back and beat Philadelphia tonight then they would either head to St Louis or Milwaukee. Bottom line of Wednesday Night’s game is that we win and they give themselves a shot at the playoffs. Whether it’s a ...
McCann on Team's Struggles
Brian McCann sparked Atlanta to a 7-1 victory of the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night to force a much needed rubber match. The Braves have been on a downward spiral the last few weeks. They were swept by the Phillies then snuck into New York to salvage the two games ...
Braves Postgame Reaction 08-30-11
The Braves were in New York for just one game before being booted out by Irene. It was a good thing they left because they did not look like the Atlanta team prior to entering the Big Apple. The three day break, provided by Mother Nature, might have been what ...
PODCAST: Jonny Venters Interview
I have decided to change things up a little the final months of the season. Being a big baseball fan, I’m going back to the things that I am most interested in hearing outside of the game. As much as I enjoy reading others opinions and hearing myself talk, this ...
Bourne and the Search for Runs
The day before the trade deadline and Frank Wren does it again. After the Phillies traded for Hunter Pence there was a lot of agony coming from the Atlanta Braves fan base wondering if the Braves were going to make a move. I thought they might even settle for someone ...
Christmas in July
It’s one of the best times of the year. No it’s not the playoffs, and no it’s not Christmas. It is the trade deadline! You hear countless rumors of if your team will be buyers or sellers. Whether it’s the Fantasy Baseball mind-set of a fan, who wants a line-up ...
Time to Deal?
The Atlanta Braves are halfway through the 2011 season and are still second in the National League East behind the Phillies. The Braves are not out of it but with their offensive struggles you would think they were and would have to settle for the Wild Card, if they win ...
Could a Trade Be On the Way?
After what seemed to be an awakening in Houston, the Braves came home with momentum riding on their hip. They salvaged a road trip, which started 1-2 and ended it at 7-3. Thing were looking good, until they returned home to their normal state. Truthfully, it was as if the ...
Inside the Numbers Tells the Story
The Atlanta Braves just swept the Florida Marlins in a three game series and took possession of second place in the National League East, and they did it scoring only seven runs the whole series. Odd isn’t it? Now I’m not complaining because a win is a win, but on ...
Bats May Be Bouncing Back
The Braves might just be snapping out of this recent skid of not producing enough runs, at least lets hope so. The finally two games of the Padres series showed us some signs of life Atlanta has now scored at least four runs in three of their last five ...
Lack of Hitting the Reason for Slow Start
Two months into the season and there are plenty of questions in baseball. Heck, fans come up with questions after the first series of the year! But now is the time to start considering the questions that some teams have. We have finished a quarter of baseball and teams are ...
A Good Dilemma
No one ever likes a dilemma. Unless you are the Atlanta Braves and your dilemma is who do you start on Wednesday’s game in Arizona? The bad news is that Brandon Beachy was placed on the 15-day Disabled List with a strained left oblique muscle that he injured during his ...
Annoying Nats
The Braves losing the series to the Washington Nationals was exactly what you did not want to happen. Although the Braves salvaged game three to avoid the sweep you still never want to lose a series to the Nationals. This is not the first time the Braves have struggled against ...
Pitching Shines in Winning Streak
The Braves swept a four game series with Milwaukee and looked good doing it. Eric Hinske told WSB after the win that it is not the easiest thing to do, “A four game sweep in baseball is a rare thing, and it’s really hard to do." Along with Tim Hudson’s ...
A Sub-Par April for the Offense
After the first month of the season the Atlanta Braves are 28th in Major League Baseball in team batting average, way below the expectations coming into the year. The fifth-place hitter, Dan Uggla, who they brought in for his offensive power, is hitting just .191. Even with their lack of ...
Out West with a Thud
The Braves wrapped up their first home stand with a 4-5 record. To be honest there is nothing to be excited about going into a ten game road trip out west where the Braves will see pitchers like, Clayton Kershaw, Hiroki Kuroda, Tim Lincecum and John Latos. The Braves, now ...
Mets Series to Test Braves Ability to Bounce Back
A familiar ending for the Braves as they drop another series, this time to the Florida Marlins. The Braves have won the first game in each of their series this year but have only come away with one series victory (vs Washington). The Braves have been shaky these past two ...
No Panic Here
The Braves wrapped up their first week and a half of baseball with a 4-6 record. Everyone has the tendency to judge a team in the first week baseball but I’m telling you now: do not panic! Derek Lowe has continued his dominance on the mound. Lowe finished Sunday’s game ...
The Return of Chipper
When Chipper Jones was injured on August 10, it felt like the end was near. Jones, trying to field a ground ball, came off the ground and landed wrong on his knee, tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL); the same injury that he suffered from in the spring of ’94 ...
