Venters will visit Dr. Andrews again on Thursday. Too early to know the outcome. But a second TJ surgery is a definite possibility. #Braves

Zoinks! At long last, the Atlanta Braves remove cursed locker from clubhouse
Perhaps finally accepting that no amount of good could overcome all the bad mojo that seemingly has afflicted players who have occupied it, the Atlanta Braves finally removed a locker believed to be cursed from the team’s clubhouse at Turner Field. According to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when the team arrived at Turner Field after spring training, the locker’s...

Play-In Game Strategy: Skip the Starter?
In a couple of weeks, we’re going to be treated to a couple of one-game, winner-take-all showdowns to determine the final playoff team in each league. The addition of the wild card play-in game changes the context of the playoff races in a new and meaningful way, and also creates some interesting questions for a handful of teams. While MLB has had tie-breaking games before, they’ve...
Suzanna’s pictures from Friday’s game
A friend and I both had a free weekend last week, so we drove to Atlanta together for the game on the 14th. It had been a few years since either of us had been able to go to a game, and since this is Chipper’s last year we had extra incentive to get to a game before the end of the season. We got to Turner Field before 4:30 and, after a bit, found the only gate that was open...

Braves relievers piece together solid stretch
Theyve been maligned, and deservedly so at times, but Braves relievers have done little wrong of late.
The Braves have been playing mix and match with the guys in the bullpen throughout this season, but theyve finally put together a Steady Seven. Im not ready to call them the Spectacular Seven yet, and especially not the overused Magnificent Seven. No, steady does it.

But Doc Halladay could not hold off a series of dinks and dunks until he was done in on a breaking ball gone bad to let...
Six unsung heroes of the NL East

For Starters, And Relievers
If there was any doubt that it all starts with pitching, especially starting pitching, then look back at the last two games. First Johan Santana tanked. Today, R.A. Dickey gives up eight runs in four and a third to send the Mets to their second straight loss. It's a shame to bang out fourteen hits, score six and lose. But when your starter can't come up with a quality start...
