The Brave Little Homer Podcast

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast we discuss in depth the versatility of this 2026 Atlanta Braves team and why it makes sense with our organization and GM, and why that same bonus for flexibility on the offense/defense is only a bandaid and problematic when the same mentality is applied to the rotation.  As always thanks for listening!  Support the show

On the first episode of season 3 of the Brave Little Homer Podcast I gripe about the irresponsibility of Jurickson Profar before doing a deep dive on my epic 8 parks  in 8 days baseball trip from last year! We are easing into the season while a lot of the guys finish up at the World Baseball Classic! Wishing the Braves all the best who are playing! Thank you for listening and contributing to liste...

The final week of the Braves' 2025 season has come and gone! The season-high ten-game win streak came to a close, but the Braves were able to pull out a win in the last game of the year and honor the great Charlie Morton!  I talk about the last week of the regular season, the Mets missing the playoffs, and who I want to take it all in the 2025 postseason. Most importantly, though, I talk abou...

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast, we discuss the absolutely epic offensive showing the Braves had after sweeping not just Washington, but Detroit as well. Matt Olson showed us he is still HIM, and the guys picked up plenty of positive momentum into what will inevitably be a volatile offseason for the club.  We answer a couple of great questions from the mailbag and loo...

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast, we talk about the dark days of the past couple of weeks of Brave Baseball. The losing continues; however, the silver lining is that the Braves have narrowly escaped a 100-loss season, which is always a good thing.  With all of this turbulence in the dugout, on the field, and in the lineup, what can we expect moving into the offseason?...

On this week's episode of The Brave Little Homer Podcast, on the bag of a mediocre week for the Braves, we kind of talk about how "nothing matters" with all the roster moves of the week and how we prepare for 2026. I also talk a little bit about The Brave Little Homer's big road trip. We will be hitting the road for #8Parksin8Days for a true tour of the MLB's Midwest parks...

On this week's episode of The Brave Little Homer Podcast, on the back of an outstanding week for the Atlanta Braves, we discuss the concept of "Too Little Too Late".  I focus on the value of still playing well despite being eliminated from the hope of a playoff run.  We also shine a light on our pitching situation, and while not IDEAL, it's still working out. Our offense is pla...

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast, we recap a historic weekend for the Braves as we witness the first female umpire at the major league level. Eight games in seven days was rough, but what started as a major skid against the league's best Milwaukee Brewers ended in triumph after taking 4 of 5 from divisional opponent the Miami Marlins.  The question is, where do we...

Rubbin' is Racin', Boys!  The Braves had another exceptionally lackluster week overall, with a total nothing burger at the trade deadline. However, there was a little fun to be had at Bristol Motor Speedway as the Atlanta Braves won the Speedway Classic and Eli White built out more of his Atlanta Braves lore.  When your grandchildren ask, Where were you when Eli White hit two taters at B...

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast, I have officially called it. The Braves are done for 2025 and must find ways to ease the pain as they transition into 2026. With officially their entire opening day rotation on the IL, there is little space to go upwards now.  I discuss who is on the chopping block for me ahead of Thursday's 6:00 p.m. MLB trade deadline and who wi...

"Whoooaaaaaa we're halfway there! Whhhoooooaaaaaaa livin' on a prayer!" YES! Nothing sums up the first half of the 2025 season of Braves Baseball quite like our selection for The Brave Little Homer's song of the week.  With the injury bug continuing to spread, what can the Braves possibly do to get more output in the win column? AA needs to get on the phone and find us a s...

In this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast, we discuss a very rough week for the Atlanta Braves.

With June ending today, and the All-Star Break, the trade deadline, and the dog days of summer fast approaching, the...

In this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer podcast we talk about the highs and lows of the week. After starting the week on cloud 9 with a sweep of the division rival New York Mets, followed by a disappointing series loss to the Marlins, the fans were left with whiplash, and understandably so. Can we blame our old nemesis, consistency, for the problem? I think so.  Also, with the bad ne...

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer Podcast we talk about the Braves' climb out the doldrums, as they try to claw their way back towards .500. While this week showed more promise, a big fumble of Sunday afternoon's layup vs. Colorado may have highlighted some real problems as the Braves cruise into the summer. What do the Braves need to do to keep us out of the "se...

On this week's episode of the Brave Little Homer podcast, we dive into an overall abysmal week for the Atlanta Braves. Being swept twice in a row by both the D-Backs and the Giants was a terrible week, bringing the total number of one-run games for the year to 28. Now, having lost ten one-run games in a row, how can the Braves bounce back? Being over 13 games back in the East with a 27 and 37...

On this week's episode of The Brave Little Homer Podcast, I do a lot of ranting about an abysmal 2 and 4 week for the Braves, falling to divisional rivals the Phillies and the team that MLB thinks is their rivals, the Boston Red Sox.

On this week's episode of The Brave Little Homer Podcast, I worship the ground that Eli White and Alex Verdugo walk on, and we discuss how much better the offense is performing.
