Around The Big Leagues

The Atlanta Braves' challenging season took another turn for the worst as their offense continues to struggle to find consistency and the one-run losses are piling up at an alarming pace. Grant McAuley discusses a strange and unfortunate week for the Braves that saw them suffer one of their worst losses in franchise history amidst a string of close games that aren't going their way. We'll cover an unexpected coaching change as former manager Fredi Gonzalez takes over as third base coach, a bitterly short reunion with former All-Star Craig Kimbrel, and a host of other issues Atlanta is currently facing. You'll hear from Braves third baseman Austin Riley on how the club is navigating its challenges overall and at the plate as well as a visit with outfielder Eli White. And we'll examine the damage this most recent slide has done to the Braves' playoff odds and hear some insights from GM Alex Anthopoulos on the state of the team and the injury DH Marcell Ozuna is playing through.
