Braves Today

Braves Today host Lindsay Crosby previews Atlanta’s NLDS matchup with the Dodgers, emphasizing LA’s major advantages in rotation depth, lineup health, and preparation time. He breaks down the tough pitching slate (Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow), notes Atlanta’s struggles vs lefties and Lane Thomas’ uncertain status, and explains the Braves’ path: keep games close, capitalize on rare chances, and disrupt LA’s “plan A” with messy, creative bullpen usage and high-leverage intensity Atlanta has practiced through recent must-win games.

Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s heartbreaking Game 2 loss and the legacy-level stakes of a winner-take-all Game 3 at Truist Park against Philadelphia. He argues the offense—not just Dylan Lee and Walt Weiss’s bullpen decision—failed to capitalize on repeated scoring chances, stranding runners and hitting into key double plays. Crosby previews likely Game 3 pitching plans, including an opener (Ray Kerr or Brent Suter) ahead of Grant Holmes, explains why a Chris Sale relief appearance is unlikely, and outlines concerns about Holmes versus Phillies stars like Schwarber and Harper. He notes FanDuel has Philadelphia as a slight favorite and discusses potential broader consequences if Atlanta is eliminated again by the Phillies.

The Atlanta Braves blew a two-run lead late to Philly, and they did it because their manager decided to go to a reliever who has struggled in the entire back half of the schedule.
