Episode Notes
The Braves went 4-2 against the Cubs and Red Sox, but the offense has sagged (low average, few walks) despite nine homers, with stars like Albies and Olson struggling while Drake Baldwin and platoon bats carried. The show breaks down why a six-man rotation and limited bullpen trust (Bummer, Kinley issues) is straining leverage arms, then previews a four-game Miami series and key pitching matchups (Richie-Meyer, Pérez-Garrett, Sale-Junk, Strider-Alcantara) plus Marlins roster changes.
