From The Diamond

Mayday for the Atlanta Braves suddenly absent offense as May opens quietly


Listen Later

Where has the powerful Atlanta Braves offense gone? The past couple of weeks have produced very different results than anyone has been accustomed to. How soon can they turn things around?
Grant McAuley discusses the week that was for the Braves and the power outage that has spread through the batting order and proven costly in some one-run losses on the recently completed 1-5 road trip. Meanwhile, Atlanta's pitching is carrying the team for now, but a key reliever landed on the IL this week. How will the Braves bullpen adjust to at least a couple of weeks without Pierce Johnson?
Speaking of adjustments, Eno Sarris of The Athletic and host of the Rates & Barrels podcast joins the show to discuss the factors that have led to Ronald Acuña's slow start and how soon we can expect an adjustment that could get the former MVP back on track.
In our trip around the big leagues, the Marlins reminded the baseball world just who they are and what they're about with an early May trade, Nike was finally forced to make necessary changes to the MLB uniforms, superstar Mike Trout was sidelined by another injury and the Twins are throwing the biggest sausage party in baseball.
Mike Petriello of MLB.com checks in to share some insight and Statcast data that proves Ted Williams was indeed a great hitter. So, maybe we already knew that, but the research into Williams' legendary "red seat" home run was fascinating and Mike will share that story and his finding on the show.
From The Diamond airs live on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta on Sundays from 5-7 pm ET. You can also subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Every episode of the show and more great Braves coverage is available at FromTheDiamond.com.
