2026/04/16

The Braves beat the Marlins 6–3 to win the series, with Atlanta in control after building a 6–0 lead and Bryce Elder delivering 5 2/3 scoreless innings (0.77 ERA on the season) while generating all nine of his whiffs with a dominant, shape-manipulated slider that functioned like an extra pitch. Lindsay Crosby also breaks down how the NL East landscape is shifting, noting Atlanta’s 12–7 start, MLB-leading run production, and improved division odds as the Phillies (8–10, negative run differential) and

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. Crosby argues Smith must stay in the lineup against right-handed pitching and discusses how playing time could shake out when Sean Murphy returns, likely pushing Jonah Heim off the roster while keeping Drake Baldwin’s bat involved. The episode also examines recent shaky innings from

2026/04/14

Lindsay Crosby breaks down two pressing Braves issues: unproductive left field play and a lack of dependable left-handed relief beyond Dylan Lee. Mike Yastrzemski's poor Statcast indicators and continued everyday usage are examined, while Eli White’s plantar fasciitis leaves Atlanta effectively short-handed and may necessitate an IL move and an outfield call-up from Gwinnett (Brewer Hicklen, DeShawn Keirsey Jr., Ben Gamel, or José Azocar). On the bullpen side, Crosby argues José Suarez isn’t the

2026/04/13

The Braves win their series against the Guardians with a dominant finale, improving to the only MLB team yet to lose a series, while their season pitching metrics remain among the league’s best even though the offense drove this particular series win. Lindsay Crosby breaks down the three games, including Bryce Elder’s quick hook, Chris Sale’s traffic-filled outing, and Atlanta’s feast-or-famine offense. The episode tried to figure out why Atlanta DFA’d Martin Perez instead of Jose Suarez, focusing

Braves Today ·

2026/04/10

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 Baldwin’s production closely matches his expected numbers. Crosby then examines the near-term decision on

2026/04/09

Host Lindsay Crosby recaps what the Braves’ first 13 games (8–5, first in the NL East) have revealed, highlighting that pitching—despite injury concerns—has been the team’s biggest strength, with MLB-best overall ERA (2.03), a dominant bullpen (0.82), and strong early rotation results from Reynaldo López, Bryce Elder, and Grant Holmes. Offensively, Atlanta ranks near the top in runs and home runs (second with 17) despite slow starts from Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, and Michael Harris, while

Lindsay Crosby recaps the massive Braves-Angels brawl sparked when Jorge Soler, after homering off and being hit by Reynaldo López, stared him down and charged the mound following an inside pitch that got away, leading to punches, benches clearing, and third-base coach Walt Weiss tackling Soler to end it. Crosby explains likely suspensions and appeals, how punishments can be staggered, and how a potential hand injury to López (who was holding the ball while swinging) could force Atlanta to adjust

Lindsay Crosby discusses Sean Murphy’s progressing rehab from a hip injury and the roster decision his return will force, weighing Kyle Farmer’s infield versatility and lack of at-bats against Jonah Heim’s minimal offense but presence behind the plate for three Braves shutouts, plus the defensive and DH implications of keeping each. He then breaks down how Atlanta may adjust the rotation when Spencer Strider returns, comparing José Suárez and Martín Pérez for the back-end role and explaining why

Lindsay Crosby breaks down Austin Riley’s rough start to the season (six hits in 38 plate appearances, no homers, nine strikeouts, five infield fly balls) and why the process is concerning, noting how often Riley has made inning-ending outs and how his popups and missed pitches have hurt rallies. Crosby discusses whether Atlanta may need to move Riley down in the order and hopes increased involvement from Chipper Jones can help. The episode highlights the Braves’ standout defense—no players grading

Lindsay Crosby recaps the Braves’ 4-2 start and first two series wins, highlighting Drake Baldwin’s hot start (three homers, 1.196 OPS) and timely production from the bottom of the order despite limited early power from stars like Matt Olson, Austin Riley, and Ronald Acuña Jr. He previews a road series in Arizona, noting the Diamondbacks’ strong top of the lineup and pitching matchups (Reynaldo López vs. Ryne Nelson, Grant Holmes vs. Eduardo Rodríguez, Bryce Elder vs. Michael Soroka, and a Braves

Lindsay Crosby breaks down early concerns about Atlanta’s offense through four games, noting the Braves have 17 runs (tied 16th) with inconsistent run clusters and no home runs yet from Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Austin Riley, but argues the process is strong because the team is hitting the ball hard and sometimes prioritizing situational contact over power. He highlights Drake Baldwin’s loud contact and explains why the homers should come. Crosby then reviews baserunning as a mix of

Why the Braves Should Promote JR Ritchie Over Relying...

2026/03/24

Host Lindsay Crosby argues the Braves are making a mistake by planning to rely on Jose Suarez or Martín Pérez for the fifth starter role after Spencer Strider’s injury, while keeping Didier Fuentes in long relief and then sending him back to Gwinnett. Crosby proposes a better alignment: put JR Ritchie in the rotation, use Suarez (who is out of options) as a long man alongside Fuentes, and keep Pérez in the minors since his opt-out deadline has passed. He weighs pros/cons, including Fuentes’ limited

Lindsay Crosby breaks down the Braves’ upcoming veteran opt-out decisions and what Atlanta might do to patch roster holes after the Jurickson Profar suspension. He explains how minor-league opt-outs work (five days before Opening Day, written notice, 48-hour team decision, no more retention bonus) and evaluates the Braves’ three opt-out candidates: Dominic Smith as a righty-mashing DH option, Kyle Farmer as a lefty specialist who can cover multiple infield spots while the team waits on Ha-Seong Kim,
