The Atlanta Braves are off to a good start in 2026 and the source of their success is the one area that provided the most concern last season. The pitching staff has performed in the early going, propelling Atlanta into first place through three series.
Grant McAuley sizes up the numbers and the reasons for the Braves' pitching prowess. While it may be somewhat unexpected, might it be sustainable if Atlanta's arms can remain healthy? Could some help be on the way in the return of Spencer Strider? Will the rotation continue to support the bullpen by covering the necessary innings? All of those are questions we'll tackle on this episode.
Brad Rowland of Hammer Territory will join to share his thoughts on the Braves early results, from the pitching staff to the offense and several players who are still looking to prove something in 2026. We'll also take a look ahead as Atlanta's schedule will turn to a serious run of NL East division play as April rolls on.
