Welcome back to Macrodosing. It is Thursday, it's October 8th, 2026 and we're going to get into the pneumonic plague a little bit today. It's the hottest plague in the world, guys. Hottest plague. It's what's hot in the streets right now. But we got a lot of stuff to get into before we do. First of all, Big T, my sympathies for the Atlanta Braves going down 2-1 to the Dodgers. I thought the Bravos were going to pull it out in the bottom of the 8th and then the bottom of the 9th.

SPEAKER_2 (2:58)

I don't know why y'all thought that, I told you. When they had bases loaded, one out.

And they got one run, that was it.

PFT Commenter (3:03)

And I looked it up because you sent it to the group chat that Acuna has not had a postseason RBI since the first Trump administration. That is true. It was October 2020, I believe. That is correct. Was his last postseason RBI.

SPEAKER_2 (3:15)

He has more MVP awards in that time than postseason RBI's.

PFT Commenter (3:19)

That's crazy. And it's not like the Braves aren't in the postseason.

SPEAKER_2 (3:23)

Every year except one.

PFT Commenter (3:24)

This might be his third, right? Since 2020?

SPEAKER_2 (3:27)

No, one. Well, he was out in 2021, he was hurt. Right. So then 22, 23, 24, 26 Oh, but he was hurt in 24

PFT Commenter (3:38)

Because I think when I looked it up, I saw three postseason.

SPEAKER_2 (3:40)

Yeah, so 21 or 22, 23, 26

PFT Commenter (3:44)

Yeah, has not had an RBI.

SPEAKER_2 (3:45)

But being hurt is also part of the issue.

PFT Commenter (3:47)

That's part of the game as well. But yeah, it was a tough way to lose. You guys should not have been wearing your red uniforms.

SPEAKER_2 (3:54)

Oh, why is that?

PFT Commenter (3:55)

You got to wear the white. The Atlanta Braves have the most iconic home jersey in sports. We talked about this offline the other day.

SPEAKER_2 (4:00)

Yeah, it's great.

PFT Commenter (4:02)

Okay, you're right, not in sports. But I personally, aesthetically, I think it's the best home jersey in baseball.

SPEAKER_2 (4:08)

It's S-tier.

Arian Foster (4:11)

Yeah, no, I would agree, it's not in all of sports.

PFT Commenter (4:13)

Yeah, you're right.

Arian Foster (4:15)

I would say, honestly, with the Yankees, probably.
