Braves News: DoubleHeader to Decide Atlanta’s Season, Spencer Schwellenbach starts Game 1, more
It is a story that we have seen play out far too many times this season.
The Braves had the ability to potentially make things simple and easy on Sunday when it comes to making the postseason. However, due to a 4-2 loss to the Royals, Atlanta will now have to play a doubleheader in Atlanta vs. the Mets with their season on the line on Monday. While Charlie Morton made a few costly mistakes, the offense once again failed several times to capitalize on run-scoring opportunities.
As a result, it is win or go home for the Braves on Monday. Fortunately, they only have to win one of the two games to make the playoffs. And with the same being the case for the Mets, there is a good chance who ever wins the first game will not give much effort in the second contest.
It will be Spencer Schwellenbach in the first game for the Braves while Tylor Megill will take the mound for the Mets. On paper, that matchup favors the Braves, and Atlanta will have extra incentive to win Game 1 as that means NL pitching Triple Crown and likely Cy Young winner Chris Sale can then be saved for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card round. If Atlanta loses the first game on Monday, Sale gets the ball in Game 2.
The set up is simple for the Braves:
Win one or more games tomorrow, they will play the Padres in San Diego on Tuesday in the first round of the NL Wild Card round.
If they lose both games, the season is over.
Atlanta has bounced back many times this season, and they now have no choice but to do it once again.

More than 200 patients moved into Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Arthur M. Blank Hospital
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – More than 200 patients have been moved in the brand-new Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Arthur M. Blank Hospital, according to the hospital.
The new 2 million square foot facility replaces the Egleston Hospital and has 446 beds, 116 more than Egleston. It’s also the only dedicated Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in Georgia.
202 patients were moved Sunday by 65 ambulances. The emergency room at Egleston closed at 7 a.m. and the move began at 7:30 a.m. 8-year-old kidney patient Brithany Morales was the first patient admitted to Arthur M. Blank Hospital.
“The opening of Arthur M. Blank Hospital is a giant leap forward for Georgia’s kids, offering a beacon of hope for patients and their families,” said Donna Hyland, Chief Executive Officer at Children’s. “We needed a pediatric healthcare campus that could give every child in Georgia access to the care they deserve. It wasn’t easy, and the asks were big. But this community, led by Arthur Blank and our Board of Trustees, didn’t shy away.”

‘This is tough stuff’: Metro Atlanta neighborhoods hit by Helene working to pick up the pieces
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Clean up efforts in Metro Atlanta neighborhoods hit hard by Helene continued Saturday.
Several homes along Peachtree Creek in Northwest Atlanta were underwater Thursday night into Friday morning.
Orlando Bejarano’s home off Woodward Parkway experienced significant damage.
“I don’t know. It’s very painful. All the hard work, the things that you love, gone. It’s very difficult,” he said.
Bejarano says he lost three cars and several cherished items in what felt like a blink of eye.
“It all was full of water when we left here,” he said.
He says he’s trying to salvage what’s left.
Just a few miles up the road on Manor Drive. Rust Richards was doing the same.
“Even right now, we don’t know if we need to move out, we don’t know if we need to lift the house. The uncertainty is more anxiety producing,” said Richards.
Contractors were out working on repairs at his home Saturday.
The area experienced similar catastrophic flooding in 2009.
Residents Atlanta News First spoke to say they are reliving that experience over again.
Richards says the rising waters from Helene reached historic heights. Like many others, he’s choosing to see the silver lining.
“This is tough stuff, it’s not easy,” Richards said. “At the same time everyone is healthy. Everyone is safe.”
