Visiting Dugout 124 — Atlanta Braves — 2026-06-09

Visiting Dugout 123 — Philadelphia Phillies — 2026-06-05

Mitch attributes some of the uncertainty to depth issues and a lack of offseason additions, noting that the team is relying more on young players stepping up and on improved performance from stars like Harper, while acknowledging concerns about right-handed power in the lineup.
Visiting Dugout 117 — San Diego Padres — 2026-05-01
Q: So what do the Padres need to do to take this series from the White Sox?
Keep defensive discipline, avoid giving extra outs, and rely on pitching to hold opponents to a small lead while the offense closes out runs.
