Braves Today

The Braves drop two straight series, including losing two of three to the Mets, and Spencer Strider leaves his start with declining velocity and is placed on the IL with right elbow inflammation, heading to Dr. Keith Meister for evaluation. The episode breaks down what that could mean, the risks of additional UCL procedures, and Atlanta’s short-term rotation plan with J.R. Ritchie stepping in, plus potential reinforcements and trade considerations. It also highlights Atlanta’s ugly weekend offense (nine runs, few extra-base hits), notes key cold bats like Austin Riley, and looks ahead to a vulnerable upcoming schedule while the Braves still hold a sizable division lead.

The Braves finally face the 2026 Mets after 68 games, and New York enters 30–38, last in the NL East, with the hardest remaining schedule and poor results in one-run games. The episode recaps a turbulent Mets offseason (Alonso and Díaz leaving, Nimmo and McNeil traded, additions like Luis Robert, Freddy Peralta, Bo Bichette, Devin Williams, and Luke Weaver) and a long injury list including Lindor, Robert, Senga, and others. Many veterans are underperforming, while call-ups like Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, and Jared Young have provided sparks. The rotation is thin, with Peralta and McLean highlighted and one starter TBD, and the bullpen has been shaky despite talent. Lindsay makes his series pick, favoring Atlanta due to roster advantages and better clubhouse chemistry.
