The final episode of our 2021 MLB Draft coverage of the Atlanta Braves professional baseball club is in the books and it was a VERY interesting draft to be sure. First, Matt and Eric go through all of the the Braves' day three picks (rounds 11-20) and share their thoughts on who these guys are as players and what we thought about them both as players as well as where the Braves picked them. After that, we got down to the business of giving our assessment of how the Braves did in the 2021 draft class which has plenty of upside, but a lot of question marks. Thanks again to all of our readers and/or listeners for all of the support of the draft coverage these last few days and enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As promised, R2A returns after the second day of the 2021 MLB Draft to talk about the Braves picks and it was certainly an interesting one.

That said, we definitely have thoughts that you will want to hear as we breakdown each pick. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Scott and Eric held down the fort with Brad taking a much needed vacation and things got weird in a hurry. We started recording before the July 4th game was over and discussed the promotion of Orlando Arcia and the All-Star Game rosters and dove into the previous weeks of games as usual. However, we then realized that the Braves game went off the rails in a hurry, so by the end, you get to hear our reactions in real time to the craziness. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Road to Atlanta, we had a bit of ground to cover with last week being a mailbag show, but the biggest takeaway is that the Braves have some really interesting relief prospects in the organization. There was also plenty of talk about Drew Waters, Gwinnett's rotation, Shea Langeliers, and more. Also, Eric reported earlier in the day that Spencer Strider was promoted to Rome and promptly forgot to bring it up on the podcast. That was my bad...we'll talk more about him next week. Enjoy!

We take a bit of a break of the usual format of going through all of the levels and instead Garrett and Eric took a bunch of listener questions on the state of the Braves' minor league system. We are nothing if not men of the people. We covered a wide range of topics from the present and future of Michael Harris, just how excited are we about Spencer Strider, the future rotation and outfield, guys that have surprised us good and bad, and a whole lot more.
