Matt Harvey tracked down Jason Heyward's chopper and flipped it to first base -- but the bag was unmanned as and the ball sailed past the foul line as Heyward slid in head-first....
Angst: Part One
Certain people on this planet don't deserve Matt Harvey. Terry Collins is shaping up to be one of those people.
Harvey was incredible through six innings for the Mets during Game 1 of today's doubleheader against Atlanta. Harvey's first hit was in the seventh when Jason Heyward chopped a ball towards first and Harvey snared it and flipped to first. Problem was that...

Daily FanDuel Picks: June 17, 2013
I took the day off yesterday, so allow me a few words to recap my performance in June 15th’s contest:BRYAN WINS AGAIN!!!With 49.75 points and a third-place finish, it certainly wasn’t a record-breaking performance packed with examples of how I’m just so much better than everyone else — my ROI is only a hair in the black — but it did continue a recent streak of success....
Atlanta Braves News: Questions Arise for Division Leader
The Atlanta Braves finished off a string of six consecutive series without a day off on Wednesday, getting swept by the 32-34 San Diego Padres to end this set of games with an 11-9 record.

Braves fair poorly in SoCal, head home to face Giants
After going 2-5 against the Dodgers and Padres on their latest road trip, you can’t blame the Braves for wanting to get back home before facing another California team. Especially when their next match-up comes against the reigning World Champion Giants who are third in the National League West with a 33-31 record. The Braves enter the series with a record of 39-27 and a 6-game...
Padres Cashner Outduels Braves Hudson, 3-2
The San Diego Padres made it two in a row over the Atlanta Braves, as Chase Headley homered and starter Andrew Cashner out-pitched Tim Hudson. Hudson was sharp again on Tuesday night. But he did not get the run support he deserved and absorbed the loss. The win over the Braves has given the Padres a chance to sweep the series tomorrow afternoon. The Braves got on the board first...
Daily FanDuel Picks: June 11, 2013
Yesterday, Hisashi Iwakuma was lights-out against the Astros (no surprise there) and Jason Heyward crushed two homers (big surprise there). In total, “hectorrondon” combined for 41.75 points, but that still landed me just a 13th-place finish. I’ve heard from some of you that there was a little bit of success to be had with my lineup yesterday, so that’s great to hear. I can’t...

Braves Serving Nats Jayson Werth Crow
The Washington Nationals’ Jayson Werth made headlines before the season, when he stated that the Philadelphia Phillies would be the Nationals’ biggest competition this season to win the National League East, not the Atlanta Braves. How does that crow taste, Jayson Werth? With nearly 40% of the season complete, it appears that Werth was correct about the Phillies being the Nationals’...
Evan Gattis Should Be Playing Every Day
Let me first say that I think Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is doing a great job this season. Not that he needs my endorsement, the 7.5 game lead his Braves have in the National League East does all the talking. Now that I got that out-of-the-way, I think Evan Gattis should be starting as many games as his body will physically allow him to play productively, and Jason...
Braves 7, Pirates 2
Brian McCann, Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman each hit a two-run homer, helping Kris Medlen and the Atlanta Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-2 on Monday night.
Medlen (2-6) pitched seven solid innings for his first win since April 9, ending a career-worst, five-game skid over his previous nine starts. The right-hander allowed an unearned run and seven hits, lowering his ERA...
Braves facing Pirates to start mild June schedule
The Atlanta Braves spent the first two months of the season largely on the road. Their home numbers hardly reflected the early going because Turner Field began to feel like the visitor’s park due to them being there so rarely. For instance, Tim Hudson’s numbers during April and May at home hardly looked like they belonged with his overall ERA because he’d had far too many horrific...
Braves' Gattis again named NL Rookie of the Month

Three Cuts: Teheran performs well in Braves' loss to Nats
ATLANTA Here are three things we learned from the Braves' 3-2 loss to the Nationals on Friday, aside from the realization that two singles, two hits batsmen and one wild pitch over one half-inning doesn't always guarantee multiple runs.
More on that later ...

Chopcast: Braves pace-setting NL East race
ATLANTA The Braves keep making significant changes to their 25-man roster and they keep extending their lead in the N.L. East. At this point, following an 11-3 rout over the Blue Jays with many of their key players sitting (Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton, Dan Uggla, is there any move Frank Wren and Fredi Gonzalez wouldn't dare to make?
Even the team's newest rookie hyped reliever...
Braves Finally Play Best Line-Up
We all know about the struggles that B.J. Upton, Dan Uggla, and Jason Heyward have had thus far this season. It has created a lot of issues for this team in a multitude of ways.
The positive though is that the Braves are four and a half games up in the division going into tonight. My question is, could they, and should they be up by more?
The Atlanta starting lineup Wednesday...
