Hurston Waldrep will have Tommy John surgery and Spencer Schwellenbach will have surgery to repair the same elbow fracture he suffered last year. The Braves still aren’t saying Strider’s season is done. But that has been the assumption since June

Almost 10.5 years ago now, in early April 2016, I got the chance to write + voice an essay for Baseball Tonight comparing Chris Sale’s first 4 seasons as a starter (2012-15) to Randy Johnson’s

Safe to say the comp held up 💪

The Wild Card Series is a best-of-three, so it's unclear which, if any, series will go three games into Thursday. But here's a look at the setup for Tuesday and Wednesday (all times are Eastern):

Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves (2 p.m., NBC/Peacock)
Matt Vasgersian (play-by-play), John Kruk (analyst), C.J. Nitkowski (analyst), Joey Votto ("Inside the Pitch" analyst), Ashley ShahAhmadi (reporter)

Let's Go!!!!!

Jayson Stark


Ronald Acuna's first inning - leadoff walk, steal 2nd, steal 3rd, score on a hit - may have looked familiar.

But guess again.

The last time he led off any game by reaching base, then stealing 2nd & 3rd and scoring?

Sept. 12, 2019, believe it or not ...

vs. the Phillies

"Harper... OH, IT'S OVER HIS HEAD! OH MY!"

Bullpen throwing meatballs at the worst time.

Need a miracle today, I don't like our chances going against Nola with Holmes on the mound.

Tomorrow's Wild Card Game 3 will be played at either 2:15pm ET or 8:15pm ET at @TruistPark. The game time will not be determined until the conclusion of tonight's three other Wild Card Game 2's.
