Show Notes
Although Atlanta lost its weekend series to Milwaukee, the three-game set afforded the Braves a chance to evaluate its new players that were brought in at the deadline. DOB and EOF appraise Richard Rodriguez, Adam Duvall, and Jorge Soler's performances versus the Brewers. Atlanta's late and close shortcomings continue. David lists the headlining stats endemic of a team toiling in late-game situations. Which Braves' standout is beleaguered by dismal high-leverage batting? Plus, Jorge Soler's Herculean strength will be a valuable resource for Atlanta. Soler's ability to send balls flying leads the guys to discussing other home run threats, past and present.
