The delightful Dale Murphy joins the program!: DOB & EOF are ecstatic to welcome Braves legend, Dale Murphy, back to the program! The company reacts to Dale being named to the 2020 Modern Baseball Era HOF ballot (1:00), and discuss what it would be to him if he were voted in. The group discusses the likes of Fred McGriff, and other HOF snubs (14:15), plus, David reveals two instances that could help Dale's chances at being enshrined (16:15). Did years of a heavy workload contribute to Dale's injuries, and are his years of service partially to blame for him not already being a HOFer (25:30)? Dale then provides his thoughts on the Braves postseason collapse (34:15), Acuna's maturation (38:15), Freddie's injury (51:15), the ubiquitous criticism on social media (54:15), and necessary moves Atlanta needs to make this off-season (1:03:00).
