Braves News

The Atlanta Braves find themselves in a bizarre situation as their game against the San Francisco Giants was suspended due to persistent rain, leaving the team down 3-2 in the second inning and looking to pick up the pieces when play resumes. This comes on the heels of a rough 2-4 stretch over the last week, with the offense sputtering at just 2.6 runs per game, which is unacceptable for a squad that should be firing on all cylinders. In a minor roster shakeup, the Braves selected Brewer Hicklen, but he heads back to Triple-A, suggesting a deeper need for consistent contributions. Meanwhile, JR Ritchie, who filled in for the injured Spencer Strider, may not have the secure grip on his rotation spot that many hoped for, adding to the brewing tension as the team looks to stabilize and regain momentum.

Questions about an unofficial rain delay between Braves and Giants

I’m writing this right now as I watch the venerable and capable grounds crew for the Atlanta Braes try to get the field back in playing condition after starting the game on time in the midst of a steady downpour. With that being said, there’s a pretty serious question to ask when it comes to […]

Braves Select Brewer Hicklen

The Braves have selected the contract of outfielder Brewer Hicklen, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The 40-man roster had a vacancy after catcher Austin Wynns was outrighted yesterday. Hicklen has been optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett and will not be immediately added to the active roster. It might seem odd to add a […]

JR Ritchie may not have as much leash with Braves rotation spot as we think

The Atlanta Braves had a replacement for Spencer Strider at the ready in JR Ritchie. However, that doesn't mean that he is a lock to keep the job indefinitely.

Long-time Braves fan favorite trade target may look perfect, but would be far from it

Some Atlanta Braves fans may be desperate for the team to trade for Byron Buxton, but that doesn't mean it is a good idea.
