Why you have to 'feel good watching this Braves team'

Dukes and Bell dive into the Atlanta Braves' strong start to the 2026 season, highlighting their recent sweep of the Phillies—the first in over a decade—as a sign of a rejuvenated team. The hosts celebrate key performances from Austin Riley, Michael Harris II (who hit his first home run as a new father), and a dominant pitching effort from Chris Sale and Martin Perez, with Sale passing Tom Glavine on the all-time strikeout list. They express growing optimism about the team’s urgency, depth, and potential, especially with reinforcements like Sean Murphy, Kim, and Strider on the horizon. Concerns are raised about Grant Holmes’ innings limit, but the overall sentiment is positive. The segment also covers Georgia football’s promising spring progress, Georgia Tech’s strong spring game, and the Hawks’ playoff readiness, including Onyeka Okonwu’s knee inflammation. The NFL draft discussion centers on the team’s flexibility and potential moves, with speculation about trading picks and targeting the best athlete available.
