Following a costly error in a 4-3 loss to the Phillies, the spotlight was firmly pointed at the continued struggles for Max Muncy this season. The two-time all-star has hit well under .200 on the season and his defense seemed to be taking a hit through the issues.  The question is, what can and should the Dodgers do about Max? We share our thoughts on the subject and discuss some options on how he can get back on track mentally. So, that's the big headline.

 Episode 266 – Dodgers Welcome the Braves, Is the Starting Pitching Actually Good? Roster Crunch & More | Blue Heaven Podcast | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3914

After a doom-and-gloom-feeling first regular season episode last week, the vibes have changed following a 6 game winning streak from the Dodgers. With Brook out at Dodger Stadium this week, we tag Doug McKain as the spot starters as we look into an unexpected strength for LA... the starting rotation. Heading into spring training and the season, the narrative was that the Dodgers starting rotation would be a glaring weakness. However, through the first 9 games of the season, it's been one of the best in baseball. We discuss how much we should believe this small sample size. Next, we look ahead to the Braves series and wonder if these restocked franchises could be heading toward a third straight postseason matchup this October. Plus, the return of reliever Phil Bickford opens up a Pandora's Box for the Dodger front office and active roster over the next few weeks. Yes, a roster crunch is a-coming.

Plus an updated look at the potential opening day roster four days until opening day. Astros' cheater Josh Reddick butted in to a conversation about the sign stealing scandal and Brook has some words about it.
