The Braves beat the Tigers behind five scoreless innings from Martín Pérez, but with Spencer Strider set to return in Colorado this weekend, Atlanta must decide how to juggle limited optionable arms and where Pérez fits—likely as a long reliever rather than a rotation fixture despite a 2.22 ERA that outpaces his peripherals.

The episode also recaps Spencer Strider’s...

The Braves beat the Nationals 9–4, but the main focus is Ronald Acuña Jr. leaving after being hit twice by Jake Irvin—first on the elbow pad, then on the top of the hand—before being removed for the bottom of the sixth; in-game X-rays were negative, he’s officially day-to-day, and the team had no plans for an MRI as of last night, with lineup status dependent on next-day soreness. Lindsay Crosby a...

Lindsay Crosby recaps Atlanta’s 6–5 comeback win over Miami, highlighted by Dom Smith’s bases-clearing three-run double in the eighth and his continuing early-season impact after an opening-weekend walk-off grand slam.

Lindsay Crosby breaks down two pressing Braves issues: unproductive left field play and a lack of dependable left-handed relief beyond Dylan Lee.

Lindsay Crosby breaks down how the Braves’ strong offense is being propped up by overperformance from lower-order bats, focusing on Mauricio Dubón’s .333 BA, .918 OPS start and why his results may regress based on expected stats despite elite contact and a high squared-up rate. He contrasts that with underperforming stars like Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, and Michael Harris, and notes Drake Bal...
