DOB and EOF, who are both out of town, catch up on Atlanta's latest series against St. Louis and the New York Mets. The duo weighs the pros and cons of in-game foreign substance checks, and they discuss Jacob DeGrom's start versus the Bravos. David and Eric then swap thoughts on Ian Anderson's start in New York, where he's beginning to establish a track record of success. Ronald Acuna Jr. blasted two, eventual game-winning solo home runs, one against the Cardinals and the other New York. With the 24-year-old phenom safeguarding a pair of wins, David and Eric ask themselves, where would the Braves be without Acuna? Plus, Kyle Muller describes his emotions from his first-career start, a lasting memory that also featured squaring off against DeGrom.
