Braves News

The Braves are feeling the heat after last night's 3-8 loss to the Padres, and it's clear that the upcoming trade deadline looms large. With Reynaldo Lopez's recent struggles, the need for a quality starter is becoming increasingly urgent if they want any shot at making a deep postseason run. On a brighter note, Ronald Acuña Jr. looks poised to rejoin the lineup, showcasing his readiness with a two-hit performance in a rehab game. Meanwhile, fan favorite Jim Jarvis continues to make an impact, proving he can shine even against his hometown team. With a solid run differential of +10 over the last week and contributions from hot bats like Matt Olson and Michael Harris II, the Braves have the pieces to compete, but they need to act decisively to bolster their pitching staff.

The trade deadline fast approaches and (stop me if you’ve heard this before) the Braves HAVE to add at least one quality starting pitcher if they want to expect any serious postseason success (setting aside the performance on offense). Without adding a postseason-quality starter, they would need to operate a three or four man rotation […]

Braves emerge victorious amid late eruptions, 7-6
In a game that first crawled due to a deluge of walks (but few runs) and then saw dueling late-inning paroxysms in each team’s final time at the plate, the Braves eventually emerged victorious. But boy, was it a winding path to get there. At the beginning of this contest, things seemed like they were […]
