    Ep. 171- Kerr and Fuentes Heroics Help Braves Beat Dodgers in Game 2

    After the Braves chose to hold off Chris Sale until game 3, many decided the Braves had no chance in game 2 against the vaunted Dodgers. But October can bring many surprises. This time, Ray Kerr, Didier Fuentes, and the rest of the Braves best relievers teamed up to halt the Dodgers offense. Michael Harris did his part on offense, and Braves did just enough to secure a game 2, 3-2 victory and even up the NLDS series, as things head to Atlanta next. Chris Sale and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will square off in game 3, while Tyler Mahle and Tyler Glasnow will go in game 4.

    Ep. 167- Braves Win the NL East Title By Overcoming Big Obstacles

Key position player injuries and underperformance throughout the year also set the team back. Yet, through it all, the team did enough to keep the Phillies at bay and get back to the playoffs.
