Braves looking for answers

The Atlanta Braves were off to their worst start in franchise history since 2003, when they were swept in their opening series. They then lost their first game against the Astros. The Braves though, have won their last 2 games and are starting to come alive. Micheal Bourn however is off to a slow 3 for 24 start, while Jason Heyward hit 2 bombs last night. It will take a while for all Braves players to get into the swing of things. One more piece to the puzzle and Atlanta could be looking at a great season. Frank Wren has not made many major moves, but he has ceartinly looked at the market out there. He has inquired on Will Venable, only to hear he was not avaliable. They also looked at Marlon Byrd, but nothing has come from their yet. They looked at asking for Xavier  Nady, nothings come from their either. BJ Upton is still a possile target as the Braves look for that World Series piece to the puzzle. Today is an off day but Friday they start a 3 game home series with the Brewers! GO BRAVES!

Braves lose again and are swept

The Atlanta Braves came into opening week looking to start fresh after their September collapse. It was all but there. The Braves got swept, and were almost shut out 3 times. Today Jonathan Niese flirted with a no hitter until he lost command and the Braves finally got to him. It was too late though. Atlanta is still struggling and were all wondering how to fix it. But time will come, and the Braves look to start it tomorrow as they play the Astros at 7:05. Brandon Beachy gets the ball. Go Braves!!!!

Braves fall to the mets 1 to 0

The braves came into opening day looking to start strong after a huge collapse last year. It wasnt there. Atlanta lost to the New York Mets 1 to 0. Tommy Hanson had an impressive outing though. Johan Santana was a beast going 5 innings. The braves had 4 hits. They play the mets again Saturday. Go braves!!!!

Braves sign Chad Durbin

The Atlanta braves are staying busy, and have inked relief pitcher Chad Durbin to a major league deal. This was the last piece to the bullpen for Atlanta. Now all they need is a outfielder, and a shortstop. The braves are almost there! In other news Tyler pastornicky will start a shortstop this year, and Randall Delgado won the fifth rotation spot and Julio Tehran is sent down to triple A. Check back for the latest news and a chat will be live Saturday at 2 where you can ask me all baseball questions!

Braves sign veteran Hernandez and acquire Francisco

The braves have been busy of late. They have signed 37 year old veteran Livan Hernandez to a 1 year deal. He will serve in the bullpen and be able to make spot appearances. Also the braves have acquired third baseman power hitter Juan Francisco from the reds for JJ Hoover. Fransisco is a power hitter who will spell Prato at third untill chipper returns. These two acquisitions are just another plus to the braves advantage to hit the post season! I wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta makes one more signing or trade though! Make sure to check back here and go braves!
