Description

After the controversial ending to Sunday night's game, DOB and EOF discuss if now's the time to abolish or overhaul Major League Baseball's replay procedure (2:00). What suggestion did Dansby Swanson make post-game that made all the sense in the world? Should New York be held accountable? What if Sunday's polemic affects the outcome of a team's season, rather than their play on the field? The guys also examine another gaffe made by another officiating crew earlier in the week in Michael Conforto's walk-off HBP (12:30). David and Eric thumb through different Braves and Phillies' players' and coaches' reactions to Sunday's result before pivoting to a more optimistic topic in Ronald Acuna Jr.'s "absolutely amazing" start to the season (23:00). Also, how about his speed to beat out that groundball against Philly? Lastly, the guys briefly kibbitz about struggling Bravos and if now's the time for concern.
