Lindsay Crosby breaks down signs that Austin Riley may be back, comparing his poor first half to a strong post–All-Star break surge in slash line and underlying contact metrics, while noting strikeouts remain an issue. He recaps Atlanta’s 6–3 series-clinching win over the Mets, highlighting Lane Thomas and Mike Yastrzemski powering the left-field platoon and Tyler Mahle delivering another quality start with a simplified pitch mix. Crosby then questions the Braves’ handling of Ha-Seong Kim, who hasn’t played since one start, and argues the roster decision feels inefficient—especially given postseason needs like speed, platoon flexibility, and maximizing small edges.

Lindsay Crosby discusses the Braves potentially having too many starting pitching options as A.J. Smith-Shawver (eligible Friday) and Reynaldo López (eligible Saturday, not back this weekend) near returns, while the current rotation is pitching well. Smith-Shawver’s strong Gwinnett outing (5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K) supports a rotation spot, raising questions about Grant Holmes’ role and López possibly relieving. Crosby also breaks down shortstop struggles from Jim Jarvis and limited usage of Ha-Seong Kim in a platoon, with Mauricio Dubón projected as the likely postseason shortstop. The episode closes on Matt Olson’s recent power surge, tying the league lead with 35 homers, leading the NL in total bases, and highlighting his durability and elite defense.
