Fernando Tatis Jr.'s meteoric rise is only that much more impressive considering he's 21-years young; however, his inexperience is also what attracted the ire of his manager and others after a late-game grand slam against Texas on Monday night, which violated one of baseball's hallowed unwritten rules. DOB and EOF discuss if unwritten rules are necessary or antiquated in today's day and age and whether Tatis Jr. is deserving of his coach and others' disapproval (1:45). How did Eric come to learn about the game's mutually understood, though not explicitly stated, laws (24:00)? Which guidelines are beneficial? Are there any that are outdated? Josh Tomlin is scheduled to start for the first time since late 2019 (35:30). Are he and Robbie Erlin enough get the Braves by? The Braves have won three-straight despite Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies being sidelined (45:30). Plus, Juan Soto is unreal. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
