Maybe they should have clubhouse meetings at the beginning of every month.

I re-compiled those records. From 2013-2022 the Braves are 56-76 in west coast games for a .424 winning percentage. Overall, the Braves are 759-698, for a .520 winning percentage. (this excludes the 2020 season where the Braves only played east teams). They haven't won a series in Dodger Stadium since 2012, going 7-22 there in that span. They've been swept there 4 times.
I understand sending Soroka back down. It’s a shame that he didn’t get at least one start at home to celebrate his recovery. It undersells how remarkable his comeback was.

From Fangraphs on Roddery Munoz: His fastball resides in the 95-96 mph range with ride and run that explodes in on the hands of righty batters, and he mixes it equally with his plus slider, with both clocking in at 46% of his pitches. He throws the slider in the 89-91 range and it features mostly lateral action, almost like a cutter. This is his best bat-misser, with a whiff rate of 44%, a chase rate of 40%, and a strike percentage well above the big league average for sliders.

Then why isn’t he striking out guys?
Yeah, bringing him up is a head scratcher when you look at the season Rios is having as the closer of the Stripers.
