## Resource

Carl and Mark get into more Braves talk as they discuss whether or not it is time for the team to make a move to bolster the roster to help them turn things around as they have lost 17 of their last 24 games. As their conversation continued, Mark notes why he believes the team is overall still in a good position as they still lead the division and are 12 games above .500, 2while Carl believes their lack of scoring running runs when needed and pitching rotation suffering from injuries leads him to believe it is time for the Braves to make moves now.
