Dansby's sage & the game's superstitions, dismal doubleheader, MadBum's no-no & Morton's trend

Join The Atheltic for just $3.99 a month! Visit: theathletic.com/755isrealDavid and Eric burn sage prior to recording to purify the AT&T curse that plagues DOB's internet connection while recording and live streaming...it works sometimes. Burning sage remedied Dansby Swanson and Atlanta's sickly bats in their series-opening win against Chicago. Eric details superstitions he and other players believed when he was in the Majors. The duo, begrudgingly, recap the Braves' catastrophic weekend series in Arizona that featured Madison Bumgarner tossing a seven-inning no-hitter. Should we even consider that a no-hitter? A Brave that is far from no-hitter-throwing shape is Drew Smyly. What's ailing "Big Shooter" and how can he escape this rut? DOB and EOF discuss Atlanta weathering Chicago's comeback bid as well as Charlie Morton's trend.Follow David on Twitter: @DOBrienATLFollow Eric on Twitter: @EOF34 Hosted on Acast.
