Atlanta Braves turn a corner … then turn abysmal in today's Braves Report

1 day ago | ajc.com | Tyler Estep

Hello, friends, and welcome to a rare postgame edition of the Braves Report. Also: I’m sorry. Because, as columnist Michael Cunningham put it, this team just provided more proof that it’s just … bad. ALL FOR NAUGHTCredit: Mike Stewart/API started drafting this newsletter around the eighth inning of today’s game. We’ve learned not to read too much into one result, I wrote, but hey — the generally anemic offense scored 10 runs. They hit homers and (gasp) went 6-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
What should manager Brian Snitker do about the Braves, in today's Sports Daily

1 day ago | ajc.com | Tyler Estep

Hey, y’all. Voting for next month’s MLB All-Star game at Truist Park is now open. It’s hard to justify casting a ballot for many Braves, given their … collective capacity for disappointment so far this season. But you know who always gets the nod? Ken Sugiura, our very own AJC all-star.
Braves Report: Are we having fun yet?

2 days ago | ajc.com | Tyler Estep

Depressing stat of the day: The Braves have lost nine of their last 12 games. And they’ve only been outscored by three runs, total, over that span. We’ll get to Spencer Strider’s latest rocky outing in a minute. But moral of the story? Can’t hit, can’t win.

I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats.
Braves Report: Fredi’s back

3 days ago | ajc.com | Tyler Estep

So, uh, how do we feel about this off-day development? Firing the third base coach midseason is interesting enough, but bringing in Fredi Gonzalez to fill the spot? Pretty wild. We’ll discuss more momentarily — then I’m interested in hearing your thoughts. TONIGHT’S MATCHUPThe Diamondbacks, who are essentially having the same season as the Braves, are in town for three. Something’s gotta give! 📺 How to watch: First pitch at 7:15 p.m. on FanDuel Sports.

Hey, y’all. Who’s ready to meet some fun new friends, say hi to an old one and lament the departure of another?

Give me that virtual golf league (go Atlanta Drive!). Give me gimmicky all-star games. Give me the Savannah Bananas, forever and always.
Braves report: Hoping for a June boon

4 days ago | timesfreepress.com | Tyler Estep

Well. The Braves lost another series. By this point, you know the script: decent enough starting pitching. An offense gone AWOL. A shaky bullpen and a few odd decisions mixed in. Is this, as columnist Ken Sugiura recently wrote, just who Atlanta is? We'll discuss after a quick look at what's up next. The Diamondbacks slither into town for a three-game, Tuesday through Thursday set. › How to watch: Games start at 7:15, 7:15 and 12:15 p.m., respectively. All on FanDuel Sports.
Georgia Tech is feeling sting of losing its AD, in today's Sports Daily

4 days ago | ajc.com | Tyler Estep

The weekend was not kind to any of the local squads, save the Dream. The Braves dropped another series. Both college baseball teams got bounced from their NCAA Tournament regionals. United faltered. But Georgia Tech’s off-the-field loss may be the most painful. Quick links: Red Sox 3, Braves 1 | Tech baseball ousted | UGA, tooSUDDEN DEPARTURECredit: Jason Getz/AJCLife on the edges is tough, man. You’re Georgia Tech, fighting and clawing to return to consistent sporting glory.
