As a Braves fan and enjoying their games on 92.1 FM, we may be down, but never surrendering. Schwellenbach now on the DL due to fractured right elbow. He is out for 15 days. He has won 5 of his last 6 starts and has 7 wins for the season. Ouch!

Spencer Strider gives up a solo HR and a 2 run HR. Orioles beat the Braves Friday in front of 40,000 at Truist Park. Braves now 2 & 5 in this homestand. Braves were shut down by Oriole pitching, the last 10 batters failed to get on. Game 2 Saturday 3:10 p.m. on 92.1 FM.

Braves are 11 & 21 in 1 run games this season. They lose Friday night to the worst team in the AL East. Then add the fact of playing 2 & 5 in this homestand. Braves not following the Randy Putman theory, "you've got to make plays." Inconsistent for sure, injuries or not.

Fireworks are going on inside the city of Cullman, despite it not legal do so. I've seen then while I was outside my home and hear them as I am back inside my home on the West side of the city limits.

The Braves have tagged Aaron Bummer from the bullpen to start Saturday's game vs. the Orioles. First pitch is 3:10 p.m. with the game on 92.1 FM. Braves struggling in this homestand, 2 wins & 5 losses.

Aaron Bummer's 1st ever start with the Braves bums out. He struck out 5 Orioles, but gave up 2 HRs in the 3rd. Braves make a change on the mound. The bullpen game Saturday not looking good early from Truist Park.

Braves' bullpen game backfires Saturday vs. the Orioles. Orioles win 9 to 6 in 10 innings. Braves are 2 & 6 in this home stand, IGAD! Finale at 10:35 a.m. Sunday and on 92.1 FM following Sunday morning church programming.

No home field advantage for the Braves. The Orioles beat them 2 to 1 Sunday to complete a 3 game sweep from Truist Park. Braves went 2 & 7 in 9 game homestand. Braves are 11 & 22 in 1 run games this season.

Johnny Thornton (@jt92reporter) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Facts are facts. The Braves have a 2 & 9 record since June 25. Six losses in their last 7 games from Truist Park. A record of 11 & 22 in 1 run games. Having a hard time beating losing ball clubs. Angels 43 & 45, Orioles 40 & 49, Marlins 40 & 47. Up next is 3 vs. the A's 37 & 54.

After Sunday, the Braves are 39 & 50 on the season. Three teams much worse in the NL than the Braves. Nationals 37 & 52, Pirates 38 & 52, Rockies 20 & 69. Braves are 8 games behind 3rd place Padres in the Wild Card Standings. It's bad right now.

Interesting from Flash's perspective. He has 5 baseball cards that include 2025 all stars in Freddie Freeman (LA), Bobby Witt Jr (JC), Byron Buxton (MN), Tarik Skubal (Det) and Zach Wheeler (Phi). Very good as I see it.
