Braves Eliminated: Why 2026 Was Both Overachievement & Underachievement | Atlanta Braves Podcast

Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

The Braves’ 2026 season ends with a 4–1 Game 4 loss to the Dodgers and a 3–1 NLDS defeat, highlighted by Atlanta’s .145/.259/.242 series line and minimal extra-base production outside Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris. Lindsay Crosby argues the club underachieved based on roster names yet overachieved given injuries and below-average season offense while still winning 94 games and the division. He outlines key offseason evaluations—especially Austin Riley’s post-surgery struggles and Ronald Acuña Jr.’s health/extension outlook—plus concerns about Drake Baldwin, shortstop options with multiple free agents, and rotation depth. Crosby discusses potential moves like re-signing Tyler Mahle, adding multiple starters, and notes upcoming changes including a new hitting coach and continued offseason coverage amid a possible lockout.
