Welcome to Tomahawk Talk!

Thanks for visiting. This site is going to be dedicated to all things Atlanta Braves. We’re going to be dedicated to providing the best Braves coverage anywhere.

So who are we anyway? You’ll hear from three authors on this site: Shashank Bharadwaj, Tom Gieryn (some of you know me as rtgthree on ProSportsDaily), and Sheldon Taylor. We’re three Atlanta guys who all have lifelong obsessions with Braves baseball. This blog is the result of our combined desire to write about, discuss and analyze every aspect of the Braves.

There will be at least one post every day, and here’s what you can expect to find if you visit regularly:

1. Game recaps: We’ll have detailed reports on every Braves game, day in and day out—and not written by somebody who just read the box score the next morning.

2. Columns: Each day of the week we’ll put up a different column covering different pieces and angles of the Braves organization. Here’s what we plan to write about:
Monday: Players of the Week…we’ll name the most valuable Braves over the previous week
Tuesday: A Look Back...starting in 1990, we’ll look at the transformation of the team from last place to its 14th straight division title, evaluating each move along the way
Wednesday: Minor League Roundup…a trip around the Braves minor league system (who’s hot, who’s not, who’s on and off the radar)
Thursday: Divisional Roundup…we’ll break down each team in the NL East, from their play on the field to their personnel moves
Friday: Prospect Profile…each week, we’ll take a detailed look at a different prospect out of our system
Saturday: Point/Counterpoint…we’ll pick a topic and have two writers write opposing views about a specific Braves question
Sunday: Stat of the Week…to understand some of the advanced stats we’ll use, this series will introduce sabermetric numbers and what they mean for player evaluation

3. News and Rumors: We’ll cover every tidbit of Braves news we can get our hands on, and give you at least a brief analysis of what happened, why it happened and what it means for the team and the players involved. Also Tomahawk Talk can be your one-stop shopping for any reported rumors that could involve the Braves. Any articles or blog posts we find about the Braves that we like, we’ll link to, and offer our commentary on what another writer has to say.

4. Discussion: You can’t be a good blogger without good readers. We want to hear from all of you. Leave comments, write us e-mails at tomahawktalk755@gmail.com. We’ll participate in the discussion on the comments, and we’ll be looking for e-mail suggestions for columns. If you see an article about the Braves (that isn’t just a game recap), send us the link. If you have a question, ask us and we’ll do a “Mailbag” column to answer it. We want to know which prospects you want to know more about for Prospect Profile, and we’d love suggestions for topics for our Point/Counterpoint column.

I’m not really big on “rules” on a blog. This should be an opportunity for everybody to voice their Braves opinions. I kind of expect that we’ll all be decent to each other and avoid profanity, racism, etc. I’m going to make it so you have to register to post, just so we can get to know each other.

Finally, I’ll ask for a favor from all of you readers. You don’t have to like our blog, but if you do, please tell your friends. The more readership we have, the better our discussion will be. If you have a blog or website, link to us. E-mail links to your buddies. Quote us on forums where you post.

Thanks for visiting and GO BRAVES!!!!!!!
