Episode notes

DOB and EOF react to Atlanta's game one victory over the Miami Marlins in the NLDS. The two rave about, and rightfully so, the Braves' stellar bullpen and hitters' offensive output, including Travis d'Arnaud's monster outing (1:00). What's with Miami routinely hitting Ronald Acuna Jr. (12:30)? Was Acuna drilled intentionally in the series opener, and why did the moment the 22-year-old was plunked revitalize the club? David and Eric chronicle the Bravos' trouble winning playoff game ones prior to to this season (22:45). Before hitting the hay or whatever the guys do after recording a podcast, they think about how auspicious it was to sign players like Ozuna and d'Arnaud in the off-season, the bullpen's importance through the remainder of the series and more (25:45).
