## Resource

Atlanta Braves’ constant bullpen shuffling sparks controversy—did roster tinkering cost them a win against the New York Mets? Jake Mastroianni examines the front office’s relentless pitching moves, the fallout from Martín Pérez’s injury, and the critical ninth-inning decisions that left fans questioning Alex Anthopoulos’ roster strategy more than Walt Weiss’ management. Is lack of bullpen depth the Braves’ Achilles heel during this 13-game stretch? Power returns to the Atlanta Braves’ lineup, with home runs from Matt Olson, Michael Harris II, and Drake Baldwin fueling optimism despite recent frustrations. Mastroianni highlights Atlanta’s All-Star selections and spotlights the offense’s resurgence, while voicing concerns over Chris Sale’s workload and the ongoing search for rotation stability. Can the Braves’ front office fine-tune this roster in time for a postseason push, or will bullpen uncertainty define their season?
