With Charlie Morton out, where do the Braves turn next?

HOUSTON — As the emotional high of winning game one of the World Series gets refocused on game two, the Atlanta Braves have some thinking to do about their pitching staff.

The question: How do you replace Charlie Morton?

For those of you who missed it, Morton left Game 1 in the third inning and was later diagnosed with a fractured fibula. It’s believed that injury happened in the second inning after he was hit by a Yuli Gurriel line drive.

Somehow, Morton managed to get three more hitters out before giving in to the pain.
