Atlanta Baseball Talk

The starting rotation gets turned upside down with Fried and Milone to the IL and Touki and Hamels (and Newcomb?) get their shots. Who is the unsung hero of 2020? And about that 29-9 rout . . .

Matt from the OFR Farm Report podcast joins the show to talk about OFR and pitching, pitching, pitching.

Snitker's use of the BP might be our biggest liability. It could be criminal. Why no action at the trade deadline? Do we not have the assets we thought we had? Oh yeah - thew Braves also hit homers. Lots of them.

Kris and Brad from Talking Chop join us to discuss their site, podcast and that perplexing trade deadline.

The week is highlighted by Ian Anderson's debut (and to a lesser extent, the Tommy Milone signing). Do we need more help? Should Erlin and Tomlin steal starts from Touki and Wright? Why does Ender continue to matter? MVP/LVP at the break.

Christian Pache comes and (maybe goes). Touki, Wright (and anyone not named Fried) can't cut it as starters, so now what? Are the Braves really clutch? Ozuna should DH; Dansby should keep being good.

Soroka's injury is a body blow to the Braves season. Who else will step up? Why is everyone so hard on Kakes? Or not hard enough? We're 25% through the season - what's good; what's not?

Folty is gone. Offense salvages a dominant week after a rough start in Tampa. Touki and Wright earn another start; did Newcomb?

Great pitching from Soroka and Fried make way for an offensive explosion on Sunday, as the Braves kick off a season to remember.
