Atlanta Braves

By Alex Remington Tonight, the bases may not be loaded, but a lot of Atlanta Braves fans will be, toasting Skip’s health, shouting “Braves win!” together, and remembering every goofy smile Skip was able to steal from sadness, back when it was fun. Thanks for the laughs, Skip. We’ll miss you.

Hosts Andrew Kappes and Brandon Rosage picked apart the winners and losers from the trade deadline, focusing on teams like the Pitsburgh Pirates, Florida Marlins, Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds, who stockpiled new talent for the pennant race and the future. The discussion also loo...

Atlanta lost Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson to injury in the same game Wednesday, leaving “The Pitch, presented by Liveboard” to wonder if the team’s quandary hanging between out-of-contention and in-contention forces their hand as sellers, with Mark Teixeira as their prize bait.

The Pitch kicks off MLB’s third week of regular season play with banter from a weekend that saw ageless ace Greg Maddux carve up the Dodgers, Francisco Liriano stumble in a “rehab” start, Tom Glavine fall off of the Braves’ rotation and the-Detroit-team-that-shall-remain-nameless co...

In the hour before the Braves and Nationals fired off their first pitch of the 2008 campaign and brand new Nationals Park, The Pitch unleashed its ‘08 predictions for the MLB season’s division, wild card, World Series and award winners.

By gondeee From friend of the site, RehabReject, over at his blog tbaatil, comes a link to an interview that John Smoltz did yesterday morning on the Dan Patrick radio show. Clearly, Patrick is simply interviewing the same people I interview. Really though, it's a good interview -- a lot of good nature...

By Alex Remington There’s no way to say “I told you so” or to assert that the Braves won the Ridgway trade simply by managing to get any value at all from a player this clearly troubled. (We’ll leave Chase Fontaine aside for a moment.) It would be impossible for the Braves or Frank Wren to know that Aybar was about t...

By Kristi Dosh 10.  Thou shalt not leave the game before the final out is recorded. Here we are in the offseason and all I can think about when I’ll get to go to my first game.  I played around with a poem about the 2008 Braves this morning, but it needs more work.  I got to thinking about my pet peeves when it comes to...

By Brandon Rosage The Pitch: Oct. 12, 2007 Bringing back the weekly MLB talk program, “The Pitch” relaunched Friday on MVN Radio with Joe Aiello and Brandon Rosage. We look at Jeff Francis’ NLCS Game 1 gem, Brandon Webb’s inability to dominate Colorado, Justin Upton’s interference play and the pitiful booi...

Chipper Jones likes interleague games, playing in ballparks he hasnt seen before and opposing teams the Atlanta Braves seldom face.

Atlantas Bobby Cox moved past Sparky Anderson into fourth place in career managerial victories when the Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 92 on Saturday night, Coxs 2,195th victory in the majors.

Dale Murphy was in his last season with the Atlanta Braves in 1990 when a skinny high school shortstop walked into the clubhouse.

Chipper Jones was held out of the Braves lineup for the third consecutive game Sunday because of a sore muscle on his right side, but he doesnt think the injury is serious.
