31+ min ago (461+ words) When the Atlanta Braves underperformed their projections in 2024 and barely snuck into the playoffs, their projections for the 2025 season remained bullish. However, after their second-straight disappointing season which featured their first playoff absence since 2017, FanGraphs' ZiPS is much less optimistic for the team in 2026. Between low expectations for their two Cura'ao natives and conservative predictions for a few stars, the 2026 Braves ZiPS projections do not look promising. ZiPS is lower on Michael Harris II and Austin Riley than it was last season, knocking off over a full WAR for both players, but the two are still seen as 3.5+ WAR players in the eyes of the projection models. The catchers, thanks to Drake Baldwin's impressive Rookie of the Year campaign, are still viewed as a powerhouse, with Baldwin and Murphy pegged at 4.7 WAR for 2026. The the pair also contribute to the…...

39+ min ago (467+ words) The Atlanta Falcons boast one of the NFL's most talented offenses, but struggle to move the football. Zac Robinson's unit has been one of the lowest-scoring offenses in football this season, but despite their Week 13 loss, the Falcons have finally shed their red zone woes after weeks of inconsistency. Across the last five weeks. Atlanta leads the NFL with a staggering 92.9% red zone success rate. That number is the best in football by a wide margin, but the Dirty Birds are sitting at just 1-4 across that span. Even a resurgence from Robinson's offense has been hampered by Raheem Morris' ineptitude. The Falcons have are 1-5 across their last six games as all but two of those games were one-score losses. Each of the last four losses were winnable games that Morris' poor clock management helped squander, so this season could have…...

39+ min ago (1051+ words) When his son died after taking a fentanyl-laced Xanax pill roughly four years ago, Gus Walters was astonished to learn no one would be held accountable for selling the deadly drug. In hopes of finding answers amid his heartbreak, the South Georgia man decided to reach out to his state senator, Republican Russ Goodman of Homerville, about ways to create stricter penalties for those who sell or distribute the synthetic opioid, which is 50 times stronger than heroin. Their relentless actions led to a new Georgia law in 2024 that does just that " fittingly named after Walters" son, Austin. Following the passage of Senate Bill 465, law enforcement officials and district attorney"s offices have begun to arrest and convict those responsible using the new charge: aggravated involuntary manslaughter. It"s a big step, they said, as prosecutors essentially only have to prove…...

My mom cooked with sweet potatoes, making the best candied yams and sweet potato pie. I was never good at cooking or baking. The one time I made a sweet potato pie, it was terrible," said Ervin....

1+ hour, 15+ min ago (125+ words) Reunions and split deals in the same move? No way! Things the Braves love: 1) reunions; 2) relievers with roster flexibility. On Tuesday morning, the Braves were able to, if not outright kill two birds with one stone, at least lightly wound them, or something. One fewer guy to worry about in terms of Friday's non-tender deadline The hot stove has officially been lit Atlanta's closer for the past few seasons will remain in that role for the 2026 season. The Braves make a modest addition to their bullpen with a reliever from the Rockies. Relievers for the reliever throne.
