The Braves’ June collapse continues after a 5–3 loss where MLB’s worst June starter, Matthew Liberatore, dominated Atlanta as they went 1-for-12 with RISP and left 11 on base. Lindsay Crosby breaks down historic-bad June offense rankings, why firing the hitting coach won’t fix it, and suggests lineup/roster changes like trying Jorge Mateo at leadoff while Acuña remains out until after the All-Star break. He also updates A.J. Smith-Shawver’s rehab start (3 IP, 1 ER, 4 K, no walks, touching 97) and discusses potential pitch mix tweaks. The episode closes with a Bobby Bonilla Day explainer and notes on upcoming pitching plans.
