Atlanta beats the Cubs 4-1 to take the series and set up a sweep with Chris Sale next. Lindsay Crosby breaks down J.R. Ritchie’s solid results but concerning lack of whiffs, rising pitch counts, and sustainability.

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.

Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s frustrating 5–4 loss to Seattle, focusing on the pivotal sixth inning: J.R. Ritchie’s control issues, Walt Weiss not having a reliever ready, and the swing that flipped the game. He credits the Braves’ offense for crushing Logan Gilbert with constant hard contact but getting unlucky and drawing only two walks, with four solo homers not enough. Crosby argues Aaron Bummer’s declining velocity, worsening metrics, and shaky outing make him the clear roster move to activate Raisel Iglesias, while noting other bullpen availability concerns and speculating on pitching plans.

The Braves beat the Tigers behind five scoreless innings from Martín Pérez, but with Spencer Strider set to return in Colorado this weekend, Atlanta must decide how to juggle limited optionable arms and where Pérez fits—likely as a long reliever rather than a rotation fixture despite a 2.22 ERA that outpaces his peripherals. The show also covers injury updates: Strider’s rehab is complete; Hurston Waldrep is expected to throw a bullpen early next week with a mid-to-late June return target; Spencer Schwellenbach hasn’t begun throwing and has no clear timetable, with hope for the second half; and AJ Smith-Shawver is throwing in Florida as he works back from Tommy John.

Lindsay Crosby previews the Braves’ three-game series vs the Detroit Tigers at Truist Park, calling it Atlanta’s toughest rotation test of the season with Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, and Framber Valdez. He details Ha-Seong Kim beginning a rehab assignment after January surgery on a tendon in his right middle finger, expecting a gradual ramp-up and likely the full 20 days before a mid-May return, with Kyle Farmer most likely losing his roster spot and Mauricio Dubon potentially playing more left field due to Mike Yastrzemski’s struggles. Crosby also updates Sean Murphy’s rehab, noting the Braves want back-to-back nine-inning catching games before activation, and reports Spencer Strider is expected to make one more rehab start and won’t return for the Colorado series. He breaks down Detroit’s road/home splits, bullpen inconsistency in save chances, key hitters led by rookie Kevin McGonigle, and emphasizes Atlanta’s need to elevate pitch counts and reach Detroit’s middle relief.
