70 out of 162 games down, and it’s safe to say the 2026 Atlanta Braves (46-24) have been a much-needed balm after the last few years of underperformance. The injury bug and occasional offensive outages are still lingering, but the divisional cushion and current position atop MLB make it hard to complain.
The first round of All-Star voting hasn’t even concluded yet (braves.com/vote, btw) and we’ve already had some incredible moments to look back on. Including, but not limited to:
- THE Big Dom Smith Moment to date, his walkoff grand slam on opening weekend
- Walt Weiss on the West Coast with the form tackle heard ‘round the world
- Three (3) separate instances of Michael Harris II pinch-hit heroics
- Ronald Acuña Jr’s second HR of the season sailing over the Green Monster for a grand slam
- Matt Olson’s first walk-off as a Brave
I went with a family
member to their first Braves game since they moved from Turner Field to Truist Park recently and got to hear some of their favorite game moments and experiences in the old ballpark. I, in turn, got to share some of the homers I’ve been lucky enough to see with my own eyes (Ronald’s 40th to make it 40/40, his first pitch back from injury last year, etc).
We asked the good people of Battery Power for some of their in-person highlights and favorite moments, and the Feed delivered some gems.
Nothing like October baseball


Cheers for Chipper


Not wins, but special all the same

Literal history

In the immortal words of dril: “the crack of the bat. the scent of a verdant field. The excitement of the crowd. These are the things that piss base ball fans off the most”
Funny and somewhat true, we also love all those things (and miss them dearly from fall to February). In what non-baseball enjoyers call a “grind”, we see heroes and villains rise and fall, witness feats of athleticism previously unseen, and partake in a pastime rich with history and memory. Thanks for sharing yours with us, Braves Country – we hope there’s many more exciting ones to come for Atlanta this year and beyond.
