Brian Snitker hints at Braves rotation look once Spencer Strider returns

1 week ago | sportstalkatl.com | Alex Lord

The Braves’ rotation has suddenly stepped up when it’s been needed most. Atlanta’s offense can go through lulls, and it’s been in one for the past week or so, but the pitching staff has picked them up. Since the season finale in Colorado, in which Chris Sale went 7.0 innings while allowing just two runs and punching out 10, the Braves have limited opponents to just a little more than three runs per outing.
Hawks: Giannis Antetokounmpo next team odds released

The Hawks are big game hunting in their front office, and in their search for a star to pair with Trae Young. Might the new President of Basketball Operations see Giannis Antetokounmpo as that trophy fish? Well, Vegas doesn’t see it as very likely. Oddsmakers don’t see Atlanta even on Giannis’ radar.
Some Braves fans need to realize Sean Murphy and Drake Baldwin can coexist

I can’t even believe I have to say this, but it’s not a bad thing that the Braves have two good catchers, Sean Murphy and Drake Baldwin. Ever since Murphy got drilled in the ribs in Spring Training, a portion of Braves fans have been clamoring for Alex Anthopoulos to ship the All-Star backstop out of Atlanta in favor of the organization’s top rookie, Baldwin. Baldwin was doing his part. Ever since he was promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett, he raked.
Raheem Morris singles out one Falcons UDFA with bright future

Because COVID gave an extra year to players who wanted it, the 2025 NFL Draft was full of draftable prospects, and the Falcons came away with a slew of undrafted free agents who might’ve normally been selected on Day 3. One that grabbed headlines was Nick Nash out of San Jose State, who put up more than 150 catches and 2,000 yards with 24 TDs over his final two seasons.
Braves announce roster moves ahead of Pirates series

Coming off a series win over the Reds, which culminated with a thrilling come-from-behind victory in the 11th inning thanks to Drake Baldwin’s first walk-off, the Braves have made a couple of roster moves ahead of their series with the Pirates. The team announced they’ve designated Eddie Rosario for assignment and selected Luke Williams to the major league roster. The #Braves today selected INF Luke Williams to the major league roster and designated OF Eddie Rosario for assignment.
What can the Hawks take away from the NBA playoffs thus far?

1 week ago | sportstalkatl.com | Alex Lord

The second round of the NBA playoffs has been absolutely bonkers. Not only have underdogs won six of the seven matchups outright, but they’ve done so in exhilarating fashion, and Hawks fans should take notice. The Celtics have blown 20-point leads in the second half to the Knicks. The Cavaliers have done the same to the Pacers.
Multiple Atlanta Braves have silenced reactionary critics

1 week ago | sportstalkatl.com | Alex Lord

Baseball is a funny sport because randomness is woven into the fabric of the game. Sometimes, nothing makes sense, and I think that’s why baseball fans are so crazy, which applies especially to Braves Country this year. The season hasn’t gone exactly how everyone wanted, and it’s led to some overreactions from Atlanta fans. There are a few players who have proven track records, but were garnering the most ridiculous takes for one reason or another.
Outrage over Jalon Walker wearing Julio Jones' #11 is ridiculous

1 week ago | sportstalkatl.com | Alex Lord

In this day and age, everyone likes to overreact for whatever reason, and the latest surrounds the Falcons’ first-round pick Jalon Walker and Julio Jones. Atlanta’s rookie class announced their jersey numbers. James Pearce Jr. is sticking with the number that he wore at Tennessee, #27. Xavier Watts will wear #31 after wearing #0 for the Fighting Irish last season, Billy Bowman went from #2 to #33, and Jack Nelson landed on the fan favorite #69.
Report: Spencer Strider is on the cusp of a return to the Braves

1 week ago | sportstalkatl.com | Alex Lord

After working his way back from internal brace surgery, Spencer Strider pulled his hamstring while playing long toss just one start into his return. It was a brutal blow for the Braves ace, but it seems he’s on the cusp of a return. According to Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Strider received a PPP injection, not to be confused with a PPP loan, after suffering the hamstring strain, which helped speed up the process of his return.
Could Nick Allen be Braves long-term answer at shortstop?

1 week ago | sportstalkatl.com | Chase Irle

The health of the Braves shortstop position has been in question ever since Dansby Swanson signed a seven-year, $177 million contract extension with the Chicago Cubs. The original hope was that top prospect Vaughn Grissom would win the job in Spring Training, proving to be the long-term answer. However, that dream was quickly dashed due to Grissom’s defensive limitations. He was not a major-league shortstop with the glove, which forced the Braves to turn to Orlando Arcia.
