The Braves’ decision to move Bryce Elder to the bullpen despite a lingering knee issue is questioned, with an IL stint seen as the more logical move given roster constraints and Elder’s lack of relief experience. The episode also breaks down how Atlanta can exploit Philadelphia’s vulnerable bullpen by avoiding early-count outs and chasing below the zone. Finally, it previews a tough three-game set vs the AL-leading Rays, focusing on key matchups, Tampa’s righty-mashing lineup, and Atlanta’s need to limit big innings and win the middle game.
