The Atlanta Braves wrapped up an eventful road trip and come home to welcome the rival Mets and Nationals to Truist Park this week.

Grant McAuley discusses the return of Michael Soroka and the continued excellence of Bryce Elder, two things that are key to helping the Atlanta pitching staff stay on track as the summer heats up. We'll also cover the greatness of Ronald Acuña Jr., the emergence of pitching prospect AJ Smith-Shawver, Michael Harris II's quest to get going at the plate, and all the other Braves news and notes from the week that was.

Alex Fast of Pitcher List joins the show to break down what has helped Bryce Elder find so much success in 2023, what Michael Soroka needs to do in order to be successful after a nearly three-year layoff, and what makes Spencer Strider such a force to be reckoned with every fifth day.

Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com weighs in on where Ronald Acuña Jr. currently stands among baseball's best players and some storylines from across baseball over the first two months.

All of that and a trip around the big leagues!
