Happy Sunday! The Talking Chop Podcast is back for Episode 124 and the Atlanta Braves are playing good baseball. That provides a fun backdrop and TC’s Eric Cole joins us this week to discuss the following:
- The Braves are scalding hot and that is encouraging... even if the Phillies might be even hotter
- Atlanta’s playoff odds have improved, even with Philadelphia playing quite well
- Anibal Sanchez, Julio Teheran and a discussion surrounding the starting rotation at this particular juncture
- Eric’s thoughts on the trades from last week, including Kevin Gausman’s debut and the addition of Adam Duvall
- Minor league promotions and how they might impact Atlanta’s future
- MLB Pipeline’s latest rankings do not have the Braves at No. 1 overall
- Eric’s piece on Dansby Swanson and how Braves fans should be approaching the former No. 1 overall pick in the future
- Touki Toussaint and Kyle Wright as bullpen options
- Big-picture thoughts on the spots on the diamond that Atlanta could upgrade and how difficult it is to evaluate some of the team’s pieces
- Much, much more
