## Resource

Atlanta Braves face a crucial decision with Grant Holmes: Should he remain a starter, transition to a bulk reliever, or shift into an opener role? As Holmes continues to impress in short stints but struggles the second time through the order, the Braves’ rotation strategy hangs in the balance. Jake Mastroianni examines Holmes’ advanced stats, Walt Weiss’ management of his workload, and options including a piggyback system with relievers like Didier Fuentes and Martin Perez. The episode also spotlights a dominant Braves bullpen outing against the Chicago Cubs, offensive surges from Mike Yastremski, Austin Riley, and Dom Smith, and pressing roster issues with Sean Murphy’s injury. Can the Braves maximize Holmes’ potential while maintaining pitching depth in a crowded stretch? Tune in for expert analysis on Atlanta’s evolving pitching staff and the impact of lineup depth on their push against NL rivals.
