Season 4 of Sports 'N Torts was over. And we weren’t planning to be back until September, but after the Braves' epic meltdown against the Diamondbacks, we needed a therapy session—and this emergency podcast was it. Josh Gernatt returns to talk through the struggles that has been the Braves' 2025 season so far.

We cover:

• The historic collapse vs. Arizona and why it was a microcosm of the season
• Shocking stats that paint the Braves as a mediocre team over the past 200 games
• Why the lineup feels lifeless and what’s gone wrong at the plate including bad approaches
• The bullpen issues, Iglesias’ struggles, and the Craig Kimbrel call-up
• Leadership void in the clubhouse—and whether Snitker’s time has run its course
• Is it time to sell at the deadline? Ozuna, Sale, even Sean Murphy?
• What Braves fans should realistically expect for the rest of the season
• A call for a Jock Peterson-type culture spark
• Our predictions for how this season ends... and what could still go right
• Why the Braves may be locked into a flawed roster construction
• Comparing 2025 to 2021: is there still hope?
• Braves culture and leadership questions in the post-Freddie era
• The All-Star Game cloud and Liberty Media’s business lens
• Can fans still enjoy this team if expectations are reset?
