Can Spencer Strider Be Atlanta’s ‘Second Ace’ or Do They Trade for One? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
The Braves are 60 games in, 20 games over .500, and among the top World Series favorites, but the biggest question is whether they have enough postseason-caliber starters behind Chris Sale. Lindsay Crosby breaks down Spencer Strider’s evolving four-pitch mix, why his results may be skewed by small samples, and what realistic expectations look like as his velocity and whiffs trend up. With Spencer Schwellenbach uncertain and Hurston Waldrep rehabbing, Atlanta may need to add an impact starter with control, with names like Joe Ryan, Michael Wacha, and Logan Webb discussed. The episode also previews the Blue Jays series at Truist Pa...

The show also examines shortstop playing time: Jorge Mateo’s hot streak versus Ha-Seong Kim working to regain form after a short rehab, with Walt Weiss emphasizing meritocracy, communication, and getting Kim up to speed.

MLB CBA: The Owners Respond With a Hard Cap, But a Surprisingly High Floor
Lindsay Crosby breaks down MLB owners’ CBA counterproposal featuring a $245.3M hard salary cap, a $171.2M floor, and a proposed 50/50 revenue split with centralized, pooled media rights. He explains how the high floor affects low-payroll teams, why a cap would require transparency and escrow auditing, and what the offer omits versus the MLBPA’s plan. The MLBPA rejected the cap, warning it harms players and guarantees.

MLB CBA Talks Begin: MLBPA’s Surprisingly Reasonable First Proposal Explained
Lindsay Crosby breaks down the MLB Players Association’s first CBA proposal, arguing it’s a reasonable starting point focused on competitive balance without reinventing MLB’s economic structure. Key items include raising the minimum salary, increasing the CBT threshold, shifting revenue sharing to include more local TV money, adding a “competitive integrity tax” tied to payroll spending, and expanding player benefits like the pre-arb bonus pool and Super 2 eligibility. Crosby also reads MLB’s initial response, disputes its framing, and predicts owners may float a salary cap but won’t risk missing games with future TV-rights negotiations looming. Buy Brav...

Is This the Season To Go ALL IN at the Trade Deadline? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
The Braves own MLB’s best record and a huge division lead, sparking debate on whether they should go bigger at the late-July trade deadline. Lindsay Crosby reviews Alex Anthopoulos’ usual “cute” or money-driven deadline moves, argues Atlanta now has the farm depth—especially pitching—to consider a larger swing, and cites AA’s aggressive Toronto history. Potential targets discussed include Byron Buxton (no-trade clause), the costly long-control option of Yordan Álvarez, plus more realistic reliever/outfield fits like Ryan Zeferjahn, Andrew Kittredge, Eric Miller, Taylor Rogers, Seranthony Dominguez, and Lars Nootbaar, stressing the need to improve responsibly without gutting the pip...

Braves Lose Series to Nationals, but Please Don’t PANIC | Atlanta Braves Podcast
The Braves dropped two of three to the Nationals, nearly getting shut out in back-to-back games, but Lindsay Crosby argues there’s no reason to panic because Atlanta’s pitching was strong (2.17 ERA over 29 innings) despite using a makeshift rotation. The real issue was an awful offensive series (.173, no homers), though season-long Statcast indicators suggest the overall offense is sustainable and even slightly unlucky. Crosby notes role players have fueled MLB-leading comeback wins but may be regressing while stars like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris are underperforming expected results. Looking ahead to a Boston series featuring multiple lefty...
