Braves Move Grant Holmes Out of Rotation; A Tribute to Ted Turner | Atlanta Braves Podcast

On Braves Today, Lindsay Crosby reacts to the Braves shifting Grant Holmes from the rotation back into a bulk/utility pitching role, noting it’s not permanent and citing his higher walk rate and worse performance the second time through the order as a starter despite improved strikeouts. He previews the weekend rotation in L.A. (Chris Sale, Spencer Strider, Bryce Elder) and discusses how Holmes’ move could improve bullpen flexibility, including a potential leverage role for Ronaldo López. Crosby also pays tribute to Ted Turner’s wide-ranging legacy (Braves, TBS, CNN, WCW, philanthropy and more). Finally, he warns the Phillies are surging (8–2 last 10), explains how schedule and normalization have fueled their rebound, and argues Atlanta’s upcoming injury returns could be a key advantage.
