Rakkasan!

I prefer the old team. These too are fine, will take some getting use to I guess.
Great Braves pod!

Such a huge improvement after Justin was brought back. No offense to Barrett but just totally stopped listening because it wasn’t interesting without the daily clubhouse perspective. With DOB and EOF no longer doing the 755 Braves pod, AJC Braves report is definitely the best!
Solid Second Half
