DOB and EOF return from a weekend series win by Atlanta over Milwaukee. Freddie Freeman's bat is picking up steam, slugging over 1.100 OPS in his last four outings while Austin Riley continues to orchestrate a strong 2021 campaign. Are either showing signs of slowing down? Can each of their respective hot streaks continue? The Giants are living up to their namesake as a towering force in the NL, plus the Dodgers sign another future Hall of Famer, go figure. The guys dissect the Braves comeback bid in Milwaukee that fell just short. What was the catalyst for the run? Why did it breakdown? David and Eric explore Atlanta's bullpen usage, which was called into question following Sunday's loss. Lastly, Jesse Biddle was DFA'd by Atlanta after Sunday's stinker, and the guys go inning-by-inning examining the Braves near-miracle in Milwaukee.
