"Braves' Strider's heated conversation and lineup changes overshadow NLDS Game 1"

Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider had a heated conversation with pitching coach Rick Kranitz after being removed from Game 1 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies. Strider, who had eight strikeouts in seven innings, expressed his desire to stay in the game but was taken out as the Braves ultimately lost 3-0. Manager Brian Snitker downplayed the incident, stating that Strider always wants to stay in the game, and praised his performance. Strider, a top contender for the NL Cy Young Award, made 32 starts this season and led the majors in strikeouts.
