  If you upload it at exactly the right size, it shouldn’t crop.

  You mean Expound.
  Featured images display in fixed dimensions (to ensure uniformity), so naturally any image that has a different aspect ratio will be cropped to fit (middle part will show). This is defined in the PHP of the theme, not its CSS, so there’s nothing you can do other than edit your images prior to uploading, in order to turn them into roughly the right aspect ratio.
