Mike Minor will take the mound today at 12:35 p.m. when the Braves try to salvage this three game series against the Reds in Cincinnati. I use the term “salvage” ’cause that is what you have to do when you blow a game in the ninth inning, like the Braves did last night. Minor will [...]
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel has been so dominant in his career, that when he struggles like he has recently, it comes as a shock. Kimbrel has blown three of his last five save opportunities, including last night when he gave up back-to-back jacks with two outs in the ninth, while trying to preserve a one [...]
How ’bout Andrelton Simmons last night? He went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and 3 RBI and made a play at second base that still has me scratching my head. If he makes that play in the seventh game of the World Series it would be legendary. Check out the video at: Andrelton [...]
The Braves beat the Reds 7-4 on Monday and Craig Kimbrel earned his 10th save. But it is hard to ignore the fact that the Braves bullpen, solid as a rock early in the season, continues to be shaky of late. The Reds got two hits in the ninth off Kimbrel, and had slugger Joey [...]
Andrelton Simmons hit two home runs and drove in four runs total, and starter Paul Maholm pitched 5 2/3 effective innings, as the Atlanta Braves made it two in a row with a 7-4 win over the Reds in Cincinnati. The Braves jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first when Freddie Freeman singled [...]

The game will be played Tuesday, June 18 at 1:10 p.m. The game will be televised on SportsSouth. Fans who have tickets from the cancelled May 4 game (game [...]
Still early in the season, but Braves right fielder Justin Upton is the favorite to win the National League MVP Award, according to Bovada Online Casino. Upton is listed at 9 to 2 odds, with Washington right fielder Bryce Harper a close second at 11 to 2, Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki third at 15 to [...]
The Atlanta Braves will be in very comfortable surroundings the next three games, when they take on the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park in a 3-game series beginning tonight. Great American Park doesn’t have a fancy nickname like “Homer Heaven” or “The Launching Pad,” but it has been very friendly to hitters since [...]
The Washington Nationals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 in Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon, to come within two games of the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The Braves had a four and a half game lead over the Nationals, before losing the last two games of a four game series that concluded this past [...]
