Description
Fresh off the heels of an exciting Home Run Derby, David and Eric swing back into action to discuss the latest with the Braves and MLB. Beginning with the latter, why does Eric think Ohtani was rushing and exerting himself too much in the HR Derby? Is Pete Alonso the greatest HR Derby participant of all time? We can only bury the lead for so long, Atlanta's young superstar, Ronald Acuna Jr., suffered a season-ending ACL injury prior to the All-Star break. What's Acuna's recovery timeline like? Who will replace the Braves' dynamic talent, and does this signal the end of Atlanta's season? Freddie Freeman recently spoke with David to express his thoughts and feelings about the club's season and his ongoing contract situation. Draft discourse ensures and David and Eric react to Ryan Cusick joining Atlanta's prospect pool. What does the former Demon Deacon righty bring to the Braves?
