The Road to Atlanta

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, the R2A crew were joined by none other than current prospect analyst emeritus and former member of the Braves front office Kiley McDaniel. We covered a WIDE range of prospects and topics in both covered the Top 32 prospect list that Kiley put out earlier this week as well as delving deeper into the system as well. Kiley's dog wanted to be on the show, too so she made several guest appearances. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, we had a very special guest as Baseball America's JJ Cooper joined us to talk Braves prospects and minor league baseball in general. We covered a WIDE range of topics to our favorite players from Rome's rotation this past year, Acunapalooza, the penalties on the Braves', his thoughts on the catcher and 3rd base positions in the minors, and a whole lot more. This one ran a bit long in the best possible way. Enjoy!

In this week's episode of Road to Atlanta, special guest, advanced stats guru, and digital dandy Dan Szymborski joined us on the podcast. We could have easily talked to him for hours and not cover everything, but Dan talked about how his minor league projections work, the benefits and shortcomings of those projections, and gave us a sneak peek at some of the Braves' ZiPS projections including a certain #1 prospect. Enjoy!

In this week's episode of Road to Atlanta, you don't have to suffer through listening to us ramble too much as Max Fried stopped by to chat with us. Max was incredibly generous with his time as we talked about injury recovery, managing expectations, pitching, dealing with the grind of the offseason, as well as reflecting on his career thus far. Enjoy!

In a special, somewhat NSFW episode of Road to Atlanta, Gaurav, Garrett, Matt, and Eric get together to discuss the punishments handed down to the Braves. It was somewhat an airing of grievances as we narrated our pain and sadness, we also talk about what the Braves lost, what they didn't lose, and what the best path forward is. Enjoy!

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, Garrett had to sit out due to illness that he brought back from the Great White North so Gaurav and I took a TON of listener questions covering a lot of different topics including our thoughts on Austin Riley, the ongoing MLB investigation, prospect who could be tradable (or not), and a lot more. Enjoy!

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, we discuss the scandal that has surrounded the Braves this week including the resignation of John Coppolella and the MLB investigation into the Braves' international signings. We air out our frustrations a bit as well as talk about what we think is the best path forward. Enjoy

In this week's episode of Road to Atlanta, Rome play by play announcer and all-around great guy Kevin Karel stopped by for a bit before having to get on the road to talk some Rome Braves baseball and the prospects within. We only skimmed the surface of what is a very talented Rome team and we could have easily gone hours with Kevin, but there is still lots of good tidbits in here on some of our favorite prospects including Cristian Pache, Bryse Wilson, Izzy Wilson, Drew Lugbauer, and others from previous years as well. Enjoy!

In this week's episode of Road to Atlanta, we are joined by Danville play by play broadcaster and all-around great guy Nick Pierce to talk prospects. In particular, we dig deep on the Danville roster as Nick shares his insights into the players on the roster as well as the various goings-on in rookie ball. Enjoy!

We are back ladies and gentlemen! Garrett and I get caught up on all (well...most)of the goings-on in the farm system, recap our scouting trip to Florida which was filled with baseball, rain, some despair, and a lot of fun, and then give each of our lists of 5 players we would keep that are currently in the farm system. Its good to be back...enjoy!
