Shortstop Has Become a PROBLEM SPOT for Atlanta; Bye vs Wild Card? | Atlanta Braves Podcast
from Braves Today · host Bleav
Shortstop is becoming a major issue for Atlanta: Jim Jarvis’ bat has cratered, Ha-Seong Kim has barely played since returning from the IL, and Mauricio Dubón may be the best lineup fit despite roster tradeoffs. The episode also weighs the value of a first-round bye versus the Wild Card format, then breaks down last night's 4–2 loss to the Twins after a 4-0 first-inning hole and an offense stuck in a slump.
