The Mets completed a day/night double header sweep with a 6-1 victory over the Braves. The Mets and Braves completed 3 baseball games all within 24 hours, something that does not happen often. The Braves saw 2 pieces of the Mets future today as they saw Matt Harvey in game 1, and Zack Wheeler (1st [...]
Matt Harvey pitched no-hit ball for six innings and fanned thirteen batters as the New York Mets held off a late Atlanta at Turner Field to nip the Braves, 4-3. It was just 15 hours after Freddie Freeman’s walk-off homer, that the Braves fell to the Mets in game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader. The Braves [...]
If you remember back to his last start, you will remember that Julio Teheran was not too impressive. He did not continue that trend on Sunday night. Teheran was sharp as he and 3 other Braves pitchers shut out the Giants, 3-0. The Braves got on the board early against the Giants. Andrelton Simmons was [...]
Kris Medlen hit a solo homer and pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night, 2-1. The win gives the Braves a chance to split the series Sunday afternoon. After a Dan Uggla solo shot, and a B.J. Upton strikeout, Braves starting pitcher Kris Medlen belted a [...]
A great game at the plate for Andrelton Simmons ended even better as his walk-off double in the bottom of the 10th scored Dan Uggla from 2nd base and gave the Braves a 5-4 victory over the Pirates on Tuesday night. The Pirates jumped on the Braves early as Gabby Sanchez homered to center. Andrew [...]
The Braves have already won the National League Eastern Division. The rest of the league just doesn’t know it yet. The Washington Nationals and their fans think they are going to get things together, and make a charge to overtake the Braves. Well, they won’t. The Nationals had their 15 minutes of fame last year, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
In the Braves 3-2 win Monday night over Washington, the box score shows that the Nationals had three up and three down in the night inning. But it wasn’t that simple. Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond led off the ninth by hitting a routine grounder to Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons. As Simmons fielded the ball, his [...]
The Braves called up utility infielder Tyler Pastornicky from AAA Gwinnett on Tuesday. Pastornicky was hitting .351 with a .372 on-base-percentage and .473 slugging percentage at Gwinnett. Pastornicky had 1 home run and 7 runs-batted-in and stole 3 bases in 4 attempts while accumulating 74 at bats. In 2012 Pastornicky was the Braves regular shortstop [...]
Is there any reason why Braves fans should like the World Baseball Classic? Personally, I don’t care if I hear one score from the World Baseball Classic, and I certainly don’t care who wins the thing. I care about the Atlanta Braves and major league baseball, and have no interest in this glorified exhibition tournament [...]
With the Super Bowl over, and the 2012 college football and NFL seasons in the books, we can turn our complete attention to major league baseball, and the Atlanta Braves. Sure, the NBA is still percolating, but we watch it with one eye until the playoffs start, don’t we? Spring Training Information Pitchers/catchers report: Monday, [...]
