Episode Notes
Atlanta is swept by San Diego for the first time this season, extending to a four-game skid and shrinking the division lead from 9.5 to 4.5 games as the offense slumps (team OPS from .765 to .680 since May 18). Lindsay Crosby breaks down the series losses, argues meaningful trades aren’t available yet, and suggests internal fixes like more Joey Bart, Mauricio Dubón at short, and possibly calling up Brewer Hicklin or Jim Jarvis while monitoring struggles from Drake Baldwin and DH options. The Braves head to San Francisco with a rotation plan of Ronaldo López (limited), Bryce Elder, and Chris Sale, plus injury updates on Ronald Acuña Jr., Sean Murphy, A.J. Smith-Shawver’s rehab progression, and reliever Danny Young.
