Back to EpisodesWhat Walt Weiss Said About Not Starting Sale; Do We Need to Cut the Offense a Break? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
Description
Walt Weiss explains why the Braves held Chris Sale for Game 3 to avoid two diminished short-rest starts, preserving a chance for a full-strength start now and possible Game 5 relief. Sale praises Atlanta’s calm bullpen, including Ray Kerr and Didier Fuentes, and backs Ronald Acuña Jr. The episode adds context to Atlanta’s postseason offense (top-4 wRC+, high walk rate) despite key struggles, then argues the Game 5 bullpen plan should change by limiting Grant Holmes and Dylan Lee and leaning more on Kerr and Dylan Dodd.
