More photos » by J Pat Carter - AP Browse more photos » Slowinski asked what the Rays should do with Andy Sonnanstine last week. It's pretty obvious. The team needs a new catcher. I don't have to put two and two together for you. Now the concerns are pretty obvious. Can Sonnanstine catch? Of course he can. Look at how many times he's caught a throw from the catcher back to the mound. Can...

The Atlanta Braves had four of five eligible players file for free agency yesterday. First baseman Adam LaRoche , outfielder Garret Anderson , pinch hitter Greg Norton , and reliever Mike Gonzalez all filed for free agency, leaving only reliever Rafael Soriano yet to file. The two relievers, Gonzalez and Soriano, are both type-A free agents, meaning the Braves would receive two first round draft picks...

You know how testy we get when people make comments about how awesome our could be in years? Remember the Nageotte/Blackley/Meche/Anderson rotations, Clement/Johjima/Johnson/Moore catching caches and Ichiro/Gutierrez/Saunders/Ackley outfields? We do our best to try and keep people grounded on these types of issues because, as it turns out, the future is incredibly hard to predict and a hell of a lot...

A few notes from around the majors... Veteran Greg Norton tied a major league record in what may be his final season, says MLB.com's Mark Bowman In another blog entry, Bowman said that though Martin Prado spent some time in the outfield while playing in his native Venezuela, Prado is not a candidate for Atlanta's right field job. MASN's Steve Melewski reports that the Orioles have signed their first...

(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara) Browse more photos » To say this has been a strange season would probably be an understatement. We saw everything fromplayers with seemingly little offensive skill putting up spectacular seasons, to 9th inning collapses so bad you had to call into work sick the next day. But perhaps...

Hey look, no offense! Braves starter Jair Jurrjens had some early trouble, but cruised late in the game while pitching 8 innings of terific baseball. He allowed only 5 hits and 3 walks while striking out 9 -- that should get him a win, but not this offensively-challenged Braves team. The Braves tied the game in the sixth on a Brian McCann 2-run single. The Nats went ahead in the tenth inning when Peter...

From Joe Sheehan at the Baseball Prospectus ($): Diaz's mistake was good for the 27th out in the 158th game, but the Braves aren't falling short of the postseason just because he was indecisive in a key spot. As they did Tuesday, the Braves were put behind by their rotation, and when that happens, they have very little chance to win. A team that lived and died by its starting pitching got back-to-back...

I've been nervous to say anything about the Braves for fear that whatever minimal karmic power this site has will cause the local baseball collective to end its surprising charge at the final wild card spot. So, how about a little pessimism? Tonight's pitching match-up is the least favorable match-up that the Braves have had or will have over the last two weeks of the season. John Johnson, the Marlins...

This was originally a Facebook/Twitter post, but I think it’s an appropriate blog post as well: If the Braves make the playoffs, does Kelly Johnson make the post-season roster? Yesterday, Bobby Cox used Greg Norton, Brooks Conrad, and Omar Infante as pinch hitters. Reid Gorecki and Ryan Church—whom I assumed was too hurt to [...]

Out of all the bands that played ATP this year, all the legends that graced the stage, there was one act that really stood out above all the rest as the act I wanted to see and that was the crazy pairing of No Age with Bob Mould with Mould agreeing to play Hüsker Dü songs during the set! For a kid who grew up worshiping punk rock Hüsker Dü is at an idol level for me, they are one...

After going 16-and-11 in July, the Braves improved to 17-and-11 in August. So far since the All-Star break the team is 26-and-18 (after last night's loss) -- that's not inspired baseball, but it's better than anything we've seen for the past two (maybe three) years. Hitting MVP: The hottest bat in the entire National League is Matt Diaz, so he is surely our August hitting MVP. For the month, Diaz hit...

More photos » by Alan Diaz - AP Browse more photos » Ugh! That was a heart breaker. First we go ahead in the first, and Javier Vazquez escapes a bases loaded jam of his own in the first. Then the Marlins tie it on a homer in the third, then we take the lead in the fifth. Then the bottom drops out of the game in the sixth when the Marlins score 5 runs -- I don't think I was watching the...

More photos » by Alan Diaz - AP Browse more photos » That's about how I expected this game to go. The Braves get no-hit through 5 and two-thirds, then we come back and get 3 two-out RBIs and take the lead for good. Pretty much a typical Braves win this year -- we look completely over matched offensively and then somehow wake up and play some baseball. Marlins starter Josh Johnson had complete...
