The Atlanta Braves got back in the win column after Thursday night’s 8-6 win over the Miami Marlins. It was a night to remember for Drake Baldwin, who homered twice and recorded five RBI. Baldwin got things going with a solo shot in the second inning, then turned the game on its head with a … Read more
Well, it’s another new-look lineup for the Braves, for obvious reasons. A lot of shuffling, with Michael Harris II suddenly hitting cleanup and Marcell Ozuna suddenly hitting fifth, while Sean Murphy gets re-banished to the seven-hole for some reason. Harris last hit cleanup back in September 2022 — it’s actually kind of funny that it’s … Read more
We are rapidly approaching – and perhaps have already passed – the point at which the Braves need to be focused on optimizing for 2026 and beyond, rather than 2025. Obviously ticket sales, ratings, and other financial elements have a significant role to play in this decision-making but at least on the field, 2025 is … Read more
If there is one positive about the Atlanta Braves this this year, it is that if they face a quality opponent not from the NL West, they typically do pretty well (10-6 vs non NL West teams with a .550 or better W% this year.) They also are now 4-0 against the rival Mets this … Read more
Ronald Acuña Jr. had a single and a homer in five trips to the plate yesterday. A .400/.400/1.000 line is pretty swanky for any day of the week, but guess what? It actually lowered his OBP, which was .504 coming into the game, down to an even .500. In 28 games so far, Acuña has … Read more
Friday night, the Atlanta Braves, their fans, and all of Major League Baseball were reminded why Ronald Acuña, Jr. is on the short-list of the game’s best players. On the first pitch he saw in almost one calendar year, he blasted the ball 467 feet vociferating his return with style and ironic symbolism as that … Read more
The Braves’ franchise star seems to be in peak form upon his return from injury, in stark contrast to his return from the same injury three years ago. There had been plenty of speculation on how Acuna would look in his return, but he has hit the ground running, first in the minors and now … Read more
The time has finally come for Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. to return to the diamond just in time for the series with the San Diego Padres. It was reported that Acuña would be activated Friday. La Bestia is BACK @ronaldacunajr24 pic.twitter.com/1Ccmd38SXU — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) May 23, 2025 27-year-old Acuña has not appeared … Read more
Ronald Acuña confirmed this week what he has said numerous times. “I want to be here for my whole career”, Acuña said in his welcome back press conference. I would love for the universe to make that happen. Do you think Ronald Acuña Jr will be a Brave his entire career? Or at least until … Read more
Shortly before Wednesday’s Atlanta Braves game against the Nationals, Ronald Acuña Jr. was in the building and got a chance to talk to the media. Naturally, with this being Acuña’s first big media appearance at Truist Park this season, the elephant in the room had to be addressed — namely, the “lack of hustle” controversy … Read more
