Drake Baldwin has now won a few of the Rookie of the Year equivalent awards, which are awesome recognitions for him. We still await the results in the BWAA NL Rookie of the Year that is the most prestigious of these awards, but also would have a first round pick attached to it for the … Read more
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.

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
