There's a ton to cover today, so to start the program DOB, EOF and the always reliable Peter Moylan marvel at Nick Markakis' walk-off homer against Toronto before conferring how the 36-year-old's guidance will affect the locker room (:30). Touki Toussaint may have conducted his best pitching symphony to date versus the Blue Jays (9:15). Eric and Moylo share their favorite walk-off memories in honor of Markakis' game-winning shot (20:00). The Braves' bullpen has been as dependable and instrumental to the club's success as any team in the league (28:30). Is Josh Tomlin Atlanta's MVP through the early goings of the year, and where does this pen rank among Braves all-time greats (39:30)? The two former pitchers discuss if Max Fried is truly ready to assume the legit number one starter position (44:15). Would it be wise for Atlanta to add an arm like Lance Lynn to the rotation? Like we said in previous shows, Acuna's mild sputtering to begin the season was nothing to worry over (56:00).
