Show Notes
After a short time away, DOB and EOF return to celebrate Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman being honored as the 2020 NL MVP. Before the duo run full bore into the MVP conversation, they react to the Miami Marlins hiring Kim Ng, the first female general manager in the sport's history (:15). David and Eric provide context to Freeman's award, including his performance this season (despite an early setback) the final tally of first place NL MVP votes and where this award places him among former Atlanta NL MVPs (3:30). Into his early 30s, is Freeman just now peaking (45:15)? Will his distinction affect his contract situation? Is his resume officially Hall of Fame worthy? The guys shift gears, providing their thoughts on Perry Minasian, Atlanta's former top assistant GM, taking stewardship of the Angels organization as their GM (55:15). Plus, a look at the Bravos bullpen, examining Jayson Stark's "Slump Bunch" and pondering if the DH and extra innings rules will become commonplace (1:14:30).
