In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, AJC Braves beat reporter Justin Toscano and Jay Black discuss why Atlanta’s offense just can’t quite get it going.

Our team will also look at another incredible performance by William Contreras and what his role will be, how Spencer Strider will be used with more bullpen injuries and what to expect this week against the Phillies.

Plus, Justin will answer some of your excellent mailbag questions.
