Dom Smith Delivers AGAIN as Braves Rally; Pitching, Stolen Bases a CONCERN? | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Lindsay Crosby recaps Atlanta’s 6–5 comeback win over Miami, highlighted by Dom Smith’s bases-clearing three-run double in the eighth and his continuing early-season impact after an opening-weekend walk-off grand slam. Crosby argues Smith must stay in the lineup against right-handed pitching and discusses how playing time could shake out when Sean Murphy returns, likely pushing Jonah Heim off the roster while keeping Drake Baldwin’s bat involved. The episode also examines recent shaky innings from Grant Holmes and Reynaldo López as signs the Braves’ early elite pitching results may regress toward their underlying metrics, though the offense has been strong enough to cover. Finally, Crosby breaks down Miami’s aggressive stolen-base success, placing most responsibility on López’s slow time to the plate rather than Baldwin’s throwing.
