Description
DOB welcomes Gabe Burns, the Braves beat writer for the Atlanta Journal-Consitution, to the program to converse about Atlanta's rise from NL East cellar-dweller to frontrunner. The Braves' mid-season trade acquisitions are paying dividends in a big way. Should Atlanta re-sign Adam Duvall? The duo canvasses the state of the NL East now that the Bravos are on top. Who should Brian Snitker and the Braves' brain trust choose to close games? Where will Ynoa and Anderson slot in the rotation when they return? Does Atlanta have the best infield in baseball? David imparts stats that corroborate the aforementioned assertion. Lastly, Dansby's patience and keen eye have helped dramatically reduce his strikeout rate.
