The Atlanta Braves entered the 2024 season with high expectations following their successful performance last season. However, in their last 40 games, they have struggled with a 17-23 record, falling 10 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East. Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman explore what has gone wrong for the Braves this season and discuss the hope they still have for making the postseason despite losing key players like Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna Jr. The lack of changes in their roster from 2023 raises concerns, particularly after being shut out by the Baltimore Orioles.
In this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the hosts discuss Paul Skenes receiving a standing ovation on the road after a strong performance against the St. Louis Cardinals. They also touch on Major League Baseball’s mishandling of Rintaro Sasaki’s debut and Cavan Biggio’s trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The show concludes with a preview of the College World Series and the aspects Jake and Jordan are most excited to see.
