• Braves look mostly lifeless in 2-1 loss to Phillies

Photo by Edward M. Pio Roda/Getty Images The offense disappeared on Friday. They reappeared on Saturday. They disappeared again on Sunday. A solo home run from Sean Murphy in the second inning was all the Atlanta Braves could muster up as far as scoring was concerned on Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia’s lineup didn’t do much better against Spencer Strider and Atlanta’s bullpen but a good pe...2025

• Time to Add Adell - June 20, 2025
Jo Adell, OF, LAA Adell homered yet again against the Yankees on Thursday, giving him 9 home runs in his last 18 games. When he's going well, Adell possesses an enticing power/speed combination, but he has been held back by his high strikeout rate, which has led to low batting averages and extended slumps. So far this season though, his K% is down to an a bit more acceptable 24.8%, which is a bi...2025

• 2025 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 66

Photo by Terence Lewis/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A little short in Philly and the Cubs lose 4-3 in 11. My thoughts on modern extra inning baseball are well known. I won’t belabor that. The Cubs are 3-4 in extra innings. In what is a coin flip game (more or less regardless of talent level), that’s not awful. But, there aren’t a lot of splits in which the Cubs have a negative expecta...2025

• Why I’m not worried about Michael Harris II

Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images The bat will come around. There is plenty of blame to go around on this 26-29 Atlanta Braves squad. For starters, sequencing and timing. Before Matt Olson’s 6th inning single in game one of Thursday’s doubleheader, the team managed an 0-31 streak with runners on base. As Battery Power’s own Shawn Coleman pointed out, entering play on Thursday, the 2–5 h...2025

So long as the current divisional alignment holds, the Phillies will be the Atlanta Braves’ main rivals in my mind’s eye.
