Braves News

After a promising 6-2 start to the season, the Atlanta Braves faced a setback in a frustrating 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks, where Bryce Elder's impeccable 0.00 ERA was overshadowed by a costly throwing error. This game was a stark reminder that despite their hot start, which had fans buzzing and offense trending towards elite levels once again, one-run losses are still a haunting specter from last season. The lineup continues to show potential with high barrel rates and solid production, but the struggle with hitting the ball effectively when it counts remains a concern. Chris Sale's ongoing dominance, even while battling sickness, provides a silver lining, but the Braves must find a way to convert their hard hits into runs to maintain their early momentum.

Braves squander excellent Elder outing in 2-1 loss to D-backs

Coming into this game, the Braves had exorcised a lot of their 2025 demons with their 6-2 start, but one remained conspicuously absent: the one-run loss. Well, in their ninth game of the season, they finally had a one-run decision, and, in somewhat-reminiscent-of-2025 fashion, it was a loss that probably could have, and at times […]
