There are two sides to every story, the Braves are no different. Though the team's been hit with a string of bad news, there are silver linings. David and Eric sing their optimistic notes about Atlanta's future before diving into the slew of bad news. With Travis d'Arnaud sidelined for the foreseeable future, who will step up at catcher? Will Alex Jackson, despite his offensive shortcomings, be used more regularly? Can William Contreras contribute as an everyday starter? Drew Smyly beleaguered start continues. The Braves have the highest team ERA in baseball?! HOW? Atlanta continues to lack production with runners in scoring position. Plus, are there red flags in Freddie's contract extension talks?

Enjoy the "new" intro...until Thursday, folks!
