I have still never seen a report mentioning why Drew Campbell missed more than two months of the season. But I'm here to report that the Rome outfielder is making up for lost time. Playing right field in Rome Wednesday, Campbell had a pair of home runs, five RBIs and two outfield assists in...

Wheeler blanks Brewers, Woodruff allows three of Phillies' six homers. Philly gunning for the Braves now. That final series might well mean everything.

Just saw where Tanner Roark opted for free agency, seeing that the Braves were calling everyone else up. So stupid to not have him and keep a Tomlin all season. Roark's stats at Gwinnett: 4-1, 2.14, 3 saves in 24 games. Predict he'll be in a major league clubhouse by Friday.

James "J.J." Niekro, 23, is a free agent pitcher from Tampa by way of Florida Southern University -- where he played for his brother, former major leaguer Lance Niekro. Both are sons of Joe Niekro, but J.J. was only eight when their dad passed away in 2006. Lance played his entire MLB career...

Say thus -- his star fell pretty dang fast. He played in every game for KC last year and is still only 28 years old. I'd guess this gives the Braves a chance to closely examine what has gone wrong with him. If they catch lightning in a bottle, bring him to camp next year.

First-game winner for Gwinnett Saturday is an under-the-radar left-hander named Dylan Lee. DFA'd by tghe Marlins at the end of spring training this season, he was named by the Braves on April 15th, and the 27-year-old Fresno State product has been a big piece of the bullpen picture in Gwinnett...

Jenista's best pro day, bar none. May be he's solved the mystery.

Would be happy for them to be added here. I know my metric limitations.

This is not an original thought or a new topic of debate, but it is more obvious than ever that Albies is far more dangerous batting right-handed. Breaking down this year's numbers: Batting righty in 2021: .323-9-31 in just 144 at-bats. 20 Ks. Batting lefty in 2021: .234-14-55 in 363...

He made a really strong throw in left to hold a runner for a single. Like him there fine. Would rather see Heredia than Duvall and his .197 average in the lineup.

PITCHER OF THE MONTH (AUGUST): Bryce Elder, a strapping right-hander (6-2, 225) and a former Texas Longhorn, was the Braves final pick of the abbreviated 2020 draft -- a 5th round pick they went a half-million over slot to sign. He's jumped two levels in his initial pro season, and has won five...

Knowing the Braves' history, the bigger hangup might be years more than $$$.

We did not see a healthy Crawford, Bryant or Belt this series, either.

This sort of puzzles me. Red signed Ender Inciarte after the Braves cut himm loose, and he's hit .288 with seven RBIs in 15 games since he joined them. But the Reds have released him; might it be that they told him he would not be recalled in September and this allows him to hook on? I admit...
