Road to Atlanta - Episode 40 - Weekly Braves MiLB roundup with a surprising amount of reliever talk Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

This week on Road to Atlanta, we had a bit of ground to cover with last week being a mailbag show, but the biggest takeaway is that the Braves have some really interesting relief prospects in the organization. There was also plenty of talk about Drew Waters, Gwinnett's rotation, Shea Langeliers, and more. Also, Eric reported earlier in the day that Spencer Strider was promoted to Rome and promptly forgot to bring it up on the podcast. That was my bad...we'll talk more about him next week. Enjoy!

Road to Atlanta - Episode 39 - Early 2021 Season Braves MiLB Mailbag May 25, 2021

Show notes

We take a bit of a break of the usual format of going through all of the levels and instead Garrett and Eric took a bunch of listener questions on the state of the Braves' minor league system. We are nothing if not men of the people. We covered a wide range of topics from the present and future of Michael Harris, just how excited are we about Spencer Strider, the future rotation and outfield, guys that have surprised us good and bad, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
