Show Notes
DOB and EOF, back from the All-Star break and a Wiffle ball tournament, unroll blueprints for the Braves' run at the postseason. Atlanta's playoff bid rests heavily on their upcoming stretch against San Diego, Philadelphia, and the Mets, all of whom David and Eric examine. The Braves added yet another catcher, the club's seventh THIS SEASON to be exact, in Stephen Vogt. Will Vogt's bat and clubhouse authority aid Atlanta's efforts to play in September and beyond? What's going on with A.J. Minter? What will it take for him to return to his former splendor? Max Fried orchestrated a magnificent start against Rays, but can he keep it up? Lastly, Joc Pederson is off to a fast start after his first series as a Brave. Will he consistently produce and have a chance to transform into 'Joctober' when/if the time comes? Lastly, Freddie is back to his usual self.
