    • Brouhaha City
    The best of the worst If you’ve been watching the playoffs this season, and I’m sure you have, you’ve heard about the brouhaha that erupted after Game Two of the Braves-Phillies series, triggered by a somewhat innocuous bit of trash talking by the Braves Orlando Arcia after the game.

Timeline

  • 2026
    "” That’s how Andruw Jones described getting the opportunity from then-manager Bobby Cox and then-General Manager John Schuerholz to join that 1996 Atlanta Braves team that went on to win the pennant."

  • 2025
    "If you are too young to have lived through the Fulco era of Braves baseball, 1985 was the beginning of one of the darkest stretches of Braves baseball at the MLB-level - but the results of the season brought back former manager Bobby Cox from Toronto as the General Manager and under his stewardship, the Braves began rebuilding the organization from the ground-up, leading to the legendary run of the 1990s."

  • 2024
    "But let’s be real here: not even Joe Torre or Bruce Bochy or Bobby Cox would have squeezed any juice out of the dried husk of a lemon that has been the 2023-2024 White Sox."

  • 2023
    "With due respect to Barbaro Canizares, Ryan Church, Troy Glaus, Juan Fransisco, Joey Terdoslavich, Christian Bethancourt, Cameron Maybin, Tyler Flowers, Cristian Pache and Alex Dickerson, the final resting place for Jones’ number 25 will now be in the more appropriate company of Dale Murphy, Bobby Cox, Chipper Jones, Warren Spahn, John Smoltz, Greg Maddux, Phil Niekro, Hank Aaron and Tom Glavine whose numbers were retired specifically for their accomplishments with the Braves organization."

  • 2022
    "In the middle of their first pennant race in years, the Braves were involved in this tight 1-0 game against the Padres, so manager Bobby Cox went to his strong bullpen to relieve Mercker; Wohlers and Pena finished it off, but not before Pena had let a runner reach on an error with two out in the ninth."

  • 2021
    "Neither Bobby Cox’s stroke in 2019 nor Atlanta’s current playoff run has stopped Manager Brian Snitker from visiting his mentor, searching for bits of magic."

  • 2020
    "Like Bear Bryant's fedora or Bill Belichick's hoodie, the metal spikes were Bobby Cox's signature."

  • 2019
    "One of the greatest managers in recent Major League Baseball history, former Atlanta Braves top dog Bobby Cox, is currently suffering through a major health scare."

  • 2018
    "Hall of Famers John Smoltz, Bobby Cox and John Schuerholz were among the dignitaries who gathered within The Battery Atlanta on Friday night to view the screening premiere of "MLB Network Presents: Atlanta Rules, The Story of the '90s Braves."

  • 2017
    "LOOK: Here's what the Bobby Cox statue at the Braves' SunTrust Park looks like"

  • 2016
    "Hank Aaron's larger-than-life presence was felt when he and fellow Hall of Famer Bobby Cox were among those who gathered in the outfield grass at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex on Thursday morning to hear Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez address his team before the club's first full-squad workout."

  • 2015
    "For instance, on the Braves' official website, Fred McGriff is also listed as a special assistant to baseball operations, and Bobby Cox is a special assistant to the general manager."

  • 2014
    "There's also the chance Smoltz will get an extra push from being considered alongside former Braves rotation-mates Maddux and Glavine as well as longtime skipper Bobby Cox, all three of whom were inducted last year while Smoltz was in Cooperstown as an analyst for MLB Network."
