Lindsay Crosby discusses the Braves potentially having too many starting pitching options as A.J. Smith-Shawver (eligible Friday) and Reynaldo López (eligible Saturday, not back this weekend) near returns, while the current rotation is pitching well. Smith-Shawver’s strong Gwinnett outing (5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K) supports a rotation spot, raising questions about Grant Holmes’ role and López possibly relieving. Crosby also breaks down shortstop struggles from Jim Jarvis and limited usage of Ha-Seong Kim in a platoon, with Mauricio Dubón projected as the likely postseason shortstop. The episode closes on Matt Olson’s recent power surge, tying the league lead with 35 homers, leading the NL in total bases, and highlighting his durability and elite defense.

The Braves lost 8–5 to the Mets after a confusing first inning featuring a lengthy replay review and a missed opportunity to challenge a called ball that could’ve ended the inning, before Bryce Elder surrendered a grand slam to Brett Baty. Lindsay Crosby breaks down the umpiring issues, Elder and Sean Murphy’s reactions, and Atlanta’s odd struggles against certain teams. The episode also updates the rotation: Spencer Strider and Hurston Waldrep will start throwing this week, but Walt Weiss says you “can’t count on them,” with timelines making 2026 return unlikely; Spencer Schwellenbach remains behind after starting his own throwing program in June, while A.J. Smith-Shaver is the most realistic arm to contribute sooner.
