Why Did the Braves Start That Game? & Drake Baldwin BLASTS Leadoff Homer | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Drake Baldwin returned with a 473-foot leadoff homer—the longest MLB home run this season—as Braves-Giants game one was suspended after 1.5 innings due to worsening rain and an unplayable field. Lindsay Crosby explains the decision-making process between the Braves and umpires, outlines today’s 2:00 PM resumption and 7:15 PM nightcap, and questions Atlanta’s plan to bullpen game one while J.R. Ritchie starts game two under the 27th-man roster rules. The episode also breaks down Grant Holmes’ rough, weather-impacted two innings, Michael Harris’ exit with lower back tightness, and potential roster moves for fresh arms.
