Dukes & Bell

Carl and Mike open up the show with some Braves talk and react to the news of Ronald Acuna Jr. being placed on the IL after dealing with Achilles tightness last night and share their thoughts on why they believe the All-Star outfielder should have been benched prior to the start of the game as it was reported Acuna Jr. initially felt some discomfort following Monday's game. As they discuss, they revisit Carl's comments from a few weeks back in which he stated he believed if the outlook for the remainder of the season would be heading for the Braves to miss the playoffs, then it would not make sense to keep running Acuna Jr. out to play.
