Episode Notes
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.
