Description
In this jumbo edition of 755 Is Real, DOB and EOF welcome Kelly Johnson back to the show! The trio chop it up about the Braves' wildly entertaining World Series parade. Afterward, the guys distinguish the one major difference between the Braves' title-winning team and the Dodgers, who seem to be one element shy of being a perennial WS winner. Can anyone explain, or justify, Alex Anthopoulos not finishing as a top-3 candidate for Executive of the Year? Let alone not winning it? Now with a championship to his name, is it time to discuss Freddie Freeman's career in the same breath as Chipper Jones'? David, Eric, and Kelly share their thoughts on Freeman's future with Atlanta, and what it would take to re-sign him. Lastly, why wasn't Austin Riley voted a top-3 NL MVP finisher? The triumvirate discourse about the MVP race, and why Riley deserved to be a finalist.
