Atlanta's friendly neighborhood Sliderman aka Luke Jackson joins DOB and EOF on today's show! The trio reacts to Jacob Webb's erroneous pitch that struck Kevin Pillar in the face. Has Eric, the former pitcher, and/or Luke hit batter in the face before? How is Webb handling the accident? The guys cover Charlie Morton's 2021 campaign, including how he's on the precipice of a major turnaround. What about Morton makes his spin rate consistently top-tier? The group also touches on Albert Puljos' first homer as a Dodger, no-hitters being tossed with regularity, and Kung Fu Panda's hugs. Luke shares his thoughts on his statistical improvement this year, and why he attributes it to fans being back in attendance. How critical was re-signing Shane Greene and having Chris Martin return from injury? How has Soroka been since his procedure? Eric and Luke chat about their golf games, and which Braves pitcher is the best golfer. To close, the triumvirate chitchat about Atlanta's bullpen, their offense, and Austin Riley's magnificent season.
