Braves To Move For Derrek Lee? Good Idea?
With every at-bat or play at first base, it’s quite apparent that Braves first baseman Troy Glaus is in a lot of pain and unable to play up to his full potential. Gone are the days of May where he was hitting everything in sight, whether it was over the plate or not, and now, […]
18Aug2010 | Braves Blast | 0 comments | ContinuedChipper Out For Season
In 1995 a rookie third baseman with an infectious grin and a hot bat helped the Braves win the World Series. Since then, Chipper has slowed up a bit but still loves the game, still kills the Mets every time he can, and is the lifeblood of the Atlanta Braves. Tuesday night we saw a […]
12Aug2010 | Braves Blast | 0 comments | ContinuedIs Troy Glaus Headed For The DL?
Through last Friday’s game against the Marlins, Troy Glaus was the only member of the Braves that had played in all 80 of the team’s games. Since then however, Glaus has missed the team’s last 3 games with swelling and soreness in his left knee, which he has apparently been dealing with for the past […]

The news from the Phillies camp is that Chase Utley is expected to be out for six weeks at least as his injured thumb will require surgery. What does that mean for the Braves other than Martin Prado likely landing the starting job for the NL All-Star team? It means it’s time to turn on […]

30Jun2010 | Braves Blast | 0 comments | ContinuedHeyward Will Sit Out All-Star Game
I know I was hard on him earlier, but Jason Heyward just made me glad his head is screwed on straight – he said that, if chosen, he’ll sit out the All-Star game. And this is why he’s more mature than most kids his age. Most kids his age would want to go take the […]
30Jun2010 | Braves Blast | 0 comments | ContinuedListen Here, Jason Heyward
I think it’s time to bitch at Jason Heyward just a bit. Jason is an incredibly important part of the offense this season – batting second behind Prado and before Chipper means he’s a crucial part of setting the table. That’s not to mention the number of clutch hits he’s had and the power and […]
29Jun2010 | Braves Blast | 0 comments | ContinuedHeyward To DL; Kawakami To Bullpen
The good news first. Jason Heyward won’t require surgery on the thumb that has been bothering him since injuring it sliding into third on May 14th. The bad news? Heyward has been placed on the 15-day disabled list and will have the thumb put in a cast tomorrow for a week. An MRI this morning […]

Fresh off his 400th save last night, Billy Wagner sat out the Atlanta Braves’ win over the Chicago White Sox today. Though the Braves could have used him, he was unable to warmup without changing his delivery. Apparently his ankle has been bothering him for around 10 days (even though he’s seen a lot of […]
26Jun2010 | Braves Blast | 0 comments | ContinuedHeyward Admits Thumb A Problem
When Stephen Strasburg starts for the Washington Nationals on Monday, Jason Heyward might not be in the lineup. No, he’s not afraid of Strasburg. Rather, Heyward today admitted finally that his thumb was bothering him more than he’s let on. He first tweaked it on May 14 sliding headfirst into third base. In the last […]

For those of you who are struggling at the catcher position with the likes of Geovany Soto, Matt Wieters, or Russell Martin, have no fear. Miguel Montero (right knee menisectomy) should be back within the next few weeks. Now is the time to add him, if he isn’t already stashed on your DL. He […]

Zaun Gone for the Year?
It seems so. Zaun reportedly has a torn labrum and will need surgery that will keep him out 4-6 months…so yeah…the season.
That means that the youth movement progresses with Kottaras, who started only 25 games in the majors before this season, and Lucroy, who didn’t start a major league game until yesterday. While that may […]
What the Deal with Berkman?
Swelling happens after knee surgeries. Especially within the first couple of weeks after a surgery. Especially when you try to run on a freshly-scoped knee (surgery was only in mid-March).
I’m not going to sit here and tell you that increased swelling in his knee is good news, because it is not. All I’m saying is […]
Street Closure
Huston Street has been shut down until at least mid-May due to shoulder pain and stiffness. He had not thrown since March 11th (previously shut down on February 26th as well) in hope that rest would alleviate his symptoms, but this was not the case. Street was previously reported to have said he would pitch […]

Joe Nathan is awaiting a second opinion on his right elbow injury, which was diagnosed as a torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament and confirmed with MRI/CT scan. Dr. James Andrews and Dr. David Altchek are going to be taking a look at the imaging to see whether or not surgery is needed. The bad news […]
