Braves Postseason eve chat and discussion: September 28

The Atlanta Braves completed their workout day at Truist Park ahead of their upcoming Wild Card Series matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies. The series opener is scheduled for 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with the team launching their postseason campaign under the theme and hashtag LET IT FLY.

Key discussion surrounding the matchup includes the assignment of umpire Merzel behind the plate for an upcoming Chris Sale start. This marks Merzel's first time calling balls and strikes for Sale since a previous balk controversy involving the pitcher at Yankee Stadium.
