"I never wanted to go anywhere else; I wanted to play for Bobby." MLB on FOX analyst and former @Braves pitcher John Smoltz remembers his former manager Bobby Cox.

The #Braves are the oldest continuously operating sports franchise in North America, playing their first of 22,629 games, including postseason play, on April 22, 1876. Bobby Cox led the team as manager in nearly 18% of those games.

Bobby Cox throwing a first pitch and getting ejected was perfect ❤️

Bobby Cox always had Freddie Freeman’s back. Even at the beginning. And he’ll never forget it.

Thank you, @Dodgers ❤️

Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country. He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’ We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express. My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!

Thank you, Bobby. We love you. ❤️

One of the joys of writing a Braves history book a couple years ago was hearing so many great Ted Turner stories. After the team’s first home loss after he purchased the team, he said his players deserved better than lunch meat for the postgame spread. As he tried to leave, he couldn’t get the clubhouse door to open. So, he kicked it and broke his toe. He walked around with a cane when he returned to Fulton County Stadium the next day. Turner and Terry McGuirk fought countless battles against other MLB owners who didn’t want the Braves aired in their markets. The power of TBS’ satellites changed sports television and the impact is still felt whenever the Braves visit cities like Seattle, where countless Braves fans have been seen on the streets and in the stadium this week. Also enjoyed Stan Kasten talking about how he was just a few days into his job as the Braves’ legal counsel when he returned to his place, turned on the game and saw Turner in uniform, serving as the self-appointed manager that night in Pittsburgh. There are countless great stories about Turner. But there was only one Ted and the Braves were fortunate enough to call him their own.

What the Atlanta Braves have done to this point in the season is nothing short of remarkable. Our @TGreenhutOD breaks down if they can keep it up: justbaseball.com/mlb/atlanta-br…

The Atlanta Braves mourn the passing of longtime Yankees and former Braves broadcaster John Sterling.

“He's a top 10 player in the game since 2021 and he posts every day.” Mark DeRosa breaks down Matt Olson's strong at-bats against Tarik Skubal earlier in yesterday’s game, leading up to his walk-off home run against Kenley Jansen. #MLBCentral | @Braves

JR Ritchie today became the first pitcher in franchise history to complete at least 7.0 innings while allowing no more than two runs and striking out at least seven in his major league debut.

The Braves are calling up No. 2 prospect JR Ritchie to start tomorrow against the Nationals. Ritchie ranks 71st overall on the most recent @BaseballAmerica Top 100 list.

@JLucroy20 Thanks for the insight!

Yes we do. I always looked for outlying stats that showed a significant probability. 0-0 ambush rate, chase rate on certain locations/pitches, weak contact rate on certain locations/pitches, and others like spray chart percentages, and count percentages pertaining to different pitches and locations. Took me about 3 hours to compile all of it into my custom scouting document. Looking back, I wish I had AI to do all that for me. It was a lot of computer work.

@JLucroy20 The Rockies are #1 in 1st pitch swing percentage this season so they clearly have had this aggressive mindset every game. As a former catcher is that stat something that you guys would go over during y'all pregame meeting?

I don’t understand how it’s fishy. Maybe back when we had to give signs but they have the transmitter. Most likely explanation is the Rushing was tipping pitches with his set up. Or pitcher was tipping pitches somehow.
