June 16, 2019 John Fricke and Hugh Douglas discuss the ninth-inning plans and why the Braves haven't been more active to improve the teams biggest weakness. Hugh opens up the conversation by explaining how to think big picture about the future of the franchise.
"Braves have blown 13 saves," said Fricke. "If you cut that in half, close to the norm in MLB, you'd be 7.5 or 8 games up. There's no solution on the team. You gotta do something. It's not a panic move, but if you have to overpay a little bit to get a closer right now, how much longer can you wait. Because with a closer the Braves can win a World Series.
