***Atlanta Braves 2026 Thread***

Figured I'd create a new thread for this season.

Not off to a good start and the season hasn't even started yet.

From the pitching injuries to now Profar going to miss the entire season. We have had a lot of bad breaks the past few years.

Schwellenbach coming back healthy is the biggest boost we could get. Picking up lots of his stuff on the dip.

TheGZA · 03-04-2026, 09:15 AM

The Profar thing is wild but f him for being a dumb dumb. He gave away like $16M bc he already made the team and could have rode the bench and still made life changing money.

Anyways on a happier note I am really hoping this offense clicks again like 2023

I feel like the baseball gods have it out for the Braves right now. But I'm still optimistic about Acuña and Strider being healthy. Plus, I think I think Michael Harris and Ozzie are coming back around. Just need the other guys to stay healthy this year. The bench depth has definitely been strengthened, albeit hit with the Profar deal.

Rabs · 03-04-2026, 02:16 PM

Good thing is we have extra money from Profar now to spend. I feel like we need another bat since Profar was going to DH a decent amount.

Riley needs to stay healthy too. He's been a big letdown of late.

Riley SAYS he's 100%, so I hope he isn't lying. As for another bat...that's a definite need. There's nothing really currently available. The only way we get anything of note would be via trade. Murphy or Ritchie would almost assuredly have to go as part of any trade.

Rabs · 03-13-2026, 12:32 PM

Yastrzemski has looked very good so far. Hope he produces during the season.

Yep. We need all of these guys to continue with these at-bats during the regular season. Everyone is having a good spring.

They should sign Giolito.

I keep saying that the Braves have clearly pissed off the baseball gods.

REALLY rooting for monster seasons from Ronnie, Ozzie, Austin and Matty. The big dogs have the ability to do 2023 things for sure.

Rabs · 03-23-2026, 01:34 PM

Well the offense looks like it will need to carry us. They definitely can if they get back to form and STAY HEALTHY.

Rabs · 03-27-2026, 09:05 PM

Great way to start the season!

Imnottheonly · 03-27-2026, 09:37 PM

Love to see Austin Riley with 3 hits, bringing his hot spring into the regular season. We're gonna need to win some slugfest's the first 2 months of the year so him and Ozzie rebounding is going to be big.

abravesfan · 03-27-2026, 09:43 PM

Already a much better start than last season!

0-7 was rough lol.

bravesballer · 03-28-2026, 08:57 PM

That's how you win.

Rabs · 03-29-2026, 07:10 AM

0 runs through 8 and then 6 in the ninth! That was wild!

Rabs · 04-03-2026, 12:07 PM

17 runs last night!

abravesfan · 04-03-2026, 12:13 PM

Cautiously optimistic so far, always good to be winning regularly even when everything isn't clicking offensively (Acuna, Riley, Harris). Pen looks great. Worry a bit the starting rotation success is a bit of fools gold. Overreaction - Drake Baldwin may be our best hitter.

Rabs · 04-03-2026, 12:15 PM

Pitching has been really solid overall. Lineup is hit or miss. Imagine if all these guys turn it on at the same time.

Hopefully Strider will be back soon as a reliable starter all year.

I went to 4 of the Royals and A's games between Sat and Tuesday. I wouldn't say that Suarez was solid but hopefully won't need him starting much longer.
