DOB and EOF synopsize Atlanta's last eight games wherein the club went 4-4, splitting series against the Reds and Mets. A lowlight of those contests was the Braves' inability to score with runners in scoring position. How can a team improve in that area (aside from just hitting the ball and putting it into play)? David and Eric share their opinions of Kyle Muller, who earned his first big league win versus Cincinnati, and, also, look down the road towards what caliber of pitcher he could develop into. Disaster and bad luck are seemingly tattooed onto Mike Soroka as the 23-year-old re-tore his Achillies, the same Achillies he injured back in 2020. The duo contemplates the chances Ronald Acuna Jr. will participate in the Home Run Derby and what type of competition he would face. Lastly, the guys hit on some potential trade target the Braves may pursue.
