The Baseball Barista with Hunter Pence and Grant Brisbee are here to break down the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series for the first time since 1995. Braves take down the Astros in 6 games to win it all. It was a crazy up and down ride for the Braves with a slow start, injuries and everything else involved. They guys think this Braves team reminded them both a lot of the misfit Giants team that won the World Series. Hunter thinks if things were different, the Braves should've won it last season. The Trade Deadline was huge for the Braves to rebuild their outfield after start Ronald Acuna Jr got hurt. The guys think the unsung hero of the Braves World Series championship is their bullpen. Freddie Freeman has been a great leader for the Braves and the guys talk about if they think Atlanta will resign him this offseason. And Hunter talks about the amazing feeling of winning a World Series Championship and how crazy the parades were that he was apart of with the Giants in San Francisco.
