5 Runs Wasn’t Good Enough & Why AJ Smith-Shawver Was Better Than His Line | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s frustrating 9-5 loss to Washington, arguing the Braves’ offense failed despite five runs, highlighted by a no-outs rally in the third that fizzled with Acuña, Olson, and Harris. He also explains why AJ Smith-Shawver’s five-run line looks worse than his process, citing contact quality, a key ball off Olson’s glove, and improved first-pitch strikes and splitter chase.
