1 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to episode thirty one of the 2 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: Hammer Territory podcast. I am your host, Sprad Roland, coming 3 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: to you on a Wednesday afternoon, not a normal time slot, 4 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier than usual, and I have joined 5 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: as I offered him by Scott Coleman. Scott, I was 6 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: a pretty good started this week for the Braves, and 7 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: actually a really good week overall for the Braves. 8 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: Hey, Brad. A sweep for the Braves, which they have 9 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: not done in quite some time, and really just an 10 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 2: impressive couple of games. Now, going back to the weekend, 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: of course, you went two out of three against Tampa. 12 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 2: You wrapped up that series in Baltimore with a win, 13 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: and now sweeping a pretty decent Detroit Tigers team that 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: has some pretty good pitches. So it feels like the 15 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: Braves are finally hitting their groove and really closed out 16 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: the series on Wednesday in nice way, beating Trek Schouoble, 17 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: one of the best arms in all of baseball. 18 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: Yes, that's absolutely right, And to your point, the first 19 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: sweep for Atlanta of more than two games that you know, 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: I would say it's a full series sweep since they 21 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: did so to the Miami Marlins back in April, so 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: it's been a while. We should stop here and just 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: say that we are part of the foul Territory network 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: of podcasts. Check them all out, including the flagship at 25 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: foul Territory, and please subscribe to this show. We covered 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves four times a week or so, sometimes 27 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: more than that, and also already have two episodes already 28 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: this week, including the one that you and I did 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: on Sunday, and then also Sean and Stephen, our usual 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: co host talked on Monday evening. But yeah, plenty to 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: get to on this one. Very upbeat. I think we 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: were a little bit more positive than we had been 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: for a while on the Sunday show when you and 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: I last talked, and then you know again when you 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: go out and win three games since then, obviously, the 36 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: vibes continue to be much much better, and the Braves 37 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: are now forty one and thirty one on the year, 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: which just sounds a lot better, don't know about you, Scott. 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: That nice little round number of being ten games over 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: five hundred in the middle of June is much better 41 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: than not being that far over. 42 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and the National League has just this very 43 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 2: clear divide with the top four with Philly, La, Milwaukee, 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: and Atlanta and then everybody else. There's this giant glut 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: of teams in the National League that I mean, I 46 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: think every team except for Miami in Colorado is within 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 2: two or three games of the final wild card spot. 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: If you want to know what the next couple of 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: months are going to be like for a playoff chase, 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: it's going to be pretty crazy in the National League. 51 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: But yes, the Vibes are significantly better today than they 52 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: were a week ago, and you know, the Braves are 53 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: just finding ways to win games. We're going to talk 54 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: about Tuesday and Wednesday's games here in a moment, but 55 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: you know, you look at the Monday and Tuesday wins 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: and both games were two to one, and you can 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: image the reaction if the Braves would have lost those 58 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: games after only scoring a total of four runs. It 59 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 2: really is amazing how winning cures all and they deserve 60 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: a lot of credit for kind of scratching and clawing 61 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: their way to two wins on Monday and Tuesday when 62 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: the lineup wasn't great, and then they came up in 63 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: a big way on Wednesday afternoon to get the sweep Yeah. 64 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: The offense coming alive on Wednesday certainly helps to quell 65 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: some of the concerns from earlier in the week. To 66 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: your point, are worthy colleagues Steve and Shan talked about 67 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: Monday's games. We'll kind of breeze past that and talk 68 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: about Tuesday's game first off. So that was win number 69 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: five and six games. Of course, in that one six 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: seven overall and the second straight two to one victory. 71 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: The offense was not good in that game. In fact, 72 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: they all they scored all two of their runs in 73 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: the first inning and they essentially just did nothing after that, 74 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: which was not the best. But you know, whatever it takes, 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: and I have to ask you this, I think probably 76 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: the headliner pretty clearly of Tuesday's game was the performance 77 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: of Spencer Swallobach, who I know got alto kind of 78 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a rocky start. Not the best start 79 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: in the world when he first got called up, but 80 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: he setled in pretty nicely and the Braves are rolling 81 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: with him and he pitched very well on Tuesday. 82 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: Schwalenbach has been really impressive and it feels like he 83 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: is going to finally bring some stability to the fifth 84 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 2: spot in the rotation. Kind of a crazy stat here, 85 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: since Spencer Strider went down with his injury. That first 86 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: week of the year, the Braves were five and ten 87 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: in games started by fifth and six starters in the rotation, 88 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,119 Speaker 2: and Schwalenbach pitched really well on Tuesday, he of course 89 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 2: got them that fifth win. And you look at not 90 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: only his numbers on the whole now, they're fine. His 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: era is a little inflated, it's just below five, but 92 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: a three point nine to eighty FIP and a four 93 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: point two two x FIP are encouraging. He's thrown twelve 94 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: innings against Baltimore and Detroit in his last two starts, 95 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: only gave up a total of three runs. And you 96 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: look at Schwellenbach's underlying numbers and his numbers on Baseball Savant, 97 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: and he is in the one hundredth percentile in chase rate, 98 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: he's in the ninety eighth percentile and barrel rate, and 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: he's in the eighty second in exit velocity. So even 100 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: when he is giving up a little bit of contact, 101 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: he's not getting hit hard, which is very encouraging. Getting 102 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: a ton of swing and miss. It's just across the board. 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: It feels like he has a real chance to stabilize 104 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: this rotation on the back end, and it's hard to 105 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: not be impressed. Where it feels like every time he's 106 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: gone out there every five or six days, he's getting 107 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 2: a little better, and that's obviously encouraging, especially as teams 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: start to get more video of him and more advanced 109 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: scouting reports. It feels like sometimes you see young guys 110 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: come out and get off to a great start and 111 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: then the league makes adjustments and then it goes south 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: in a hurry. It feels like he's getting better and 113 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: that's encouraging for the Braves, and I would imagine that 114 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: now moving forward, where Schwellenbach has a pretty strong hold 115 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: on the fifth spot in the rotation. 116 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely seems that way, and you know, there's 117 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of surprise. I don't know if you 118 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: saw some of that reaction that I did when he 119 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: kind of struggled out of the gate, that they didn't 120 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: kind of pivot away from him, but they stood firm, 121 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: and you know they're not going to go away from 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: him now after the way he's pitched the last two starts, 123 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: as you laid out there, and the underline albums are 124 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: really encouraging. You know, obviously, in a perfect world, if 125 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: someone like Max Free had a four FIP and a 126 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: four point two x FIP, no one will be doing cartwheels. 127 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: But as we. 128 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: Regularly say on the show, and would again say, now 129 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: your fifth starter, if you're getting a round number, you know, 130 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: let's just say an era FIP x FIP around four, 131 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: you will take that and you will run, especially with 132 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: given the Braves injury stuff and the loss of Strider, 133 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: et cetera. Getting that it from spelling swelling block is 134 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: more than enough. And it still remains to be seen 135 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: if they're going to go with another starter to fill 136 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: the sixth spot, which of course has been vacated now 137 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: by Hurst and Waldrip who went on the IL and 138 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: I was discussed by Stephen and Sean. But Lull the 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: box needs to be written in pen at least for 140 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: a little while. And it feels to me like it 141 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: would take more than one poor start for him to 142 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: not stay in the mix, either injury or I would 143 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: say probably multiple shaky starts. 144 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree entirely. He has done a nice 145 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: job working into games. You mentioned He's gone six innings 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: and both of his last two starts, which is valuable, 147 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: especially with the young guys. The last thing that Brian 148 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: Snitker wants to do is have to walk out to 149 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: the mound in the third inning and pull him because 150 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: he just can't. You know, he's at eighty five pitches 151 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: through three innings because he can't throw a strike. You know, 152 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: the command has been really good for Schwallenbach, and you 153 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: know you talked about the fifth and sixth starter. The 154 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: Braves are going to come up on a pretty lengthy 155 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: stretch of games here. They're off on Thursday, but then 156 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: they're about to play twenty three games in the next 157 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 2: twenty four days before the All Star break. So I'm 158 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: curious to see if the Braves are going to try 159 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: to bring somebody up, maybe a Bryce Elder, to be 160 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: a sixth starter for a week or two. I know 161 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: there's a never ending debate about utilized the sixth starter, 162 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: and we don't have to go down that rabbit hole, 163 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: but at the very least, I think you have to 164 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: be encouraged by what Schwellenbach's been able to do and 165 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: those underlying numbers that we talked about speak for themselves 166 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: and not giving up hard contact, not walking people overall, 167 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: it's hard not to be encouraged by what he's done 168 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: through four starts. 169 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: It's absolutely right, and we will dive in to the 170 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: game on Wednesday, which is much more breezy, much more exciting, 171 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: more runs, less runs allowed, all that fun stuff. But first, 172 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: Scott's gonna tell you about the folks at seat Geek. 173 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: Seat geek is the official ticketing marketplace of Major League Baseball. 174 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: They have you covered for all of your baseball ticket needs, 175 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 2: with more than twenty eight million downloads and the number 176 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: one rated ticketing app. There are more than seventy thousand 177 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: events listed at seat geek, including concerts, sports festivals, theater events, 178 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: and much more.

And 205 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much you were paying attention to 206 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: the betting markets coming into the series. Actually, Wednesday's game 207 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: was the was the perceived least likely game for the 208 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: Braves to win comfortably because they were facing Scooble, who 209 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: is I was not a huge name to more you 210 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: non American League observers, but a guy who had been 211 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: firmly in the American League sy Young mix this early 212 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: in the season had incredible numbers and the Braves did 213 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: not care about that at all. They basically blasted him 214 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: and never looked back. They scored five runs in the 215 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: first four innings and that was the end of that. 216 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: So what did you make of that? And of course 217 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: we have to get Sean Murphy, who I know you 218 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: and I have defended. I know Stevens defended quite a bit, 219 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: but he was the star of the day on Wednesday. 220 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, very on brand for the Braves to only score 221 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: four runs combined Monday and Tuesday and then just beat 222 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: up on Derek Scooble, a very legitimate cy Young contender 223 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: in the American League. Mentioned five runs in only four innings. 224 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: They really got to him. And even though they put 225 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: up the five, I mean, it could have been seven 226 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: or eight or nine runs if they would just would 227 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 2: have come up with another hit with runners on base. 228 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: Seemingly every inning the Braves had a threat going Sean 229 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Murphy a huge two run homer. Ramon Loreano also homered, 230 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: which was good to see. Feels like he is going 231 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: to probably start most of the time against left handed starters. 232 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: And you know, we've talked about Loreano a bit on 233 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: the show. Somebody who hits the ball hard, maybe a 234 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: flawed player at this point in his career. He is 235 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: not an everyday guy. He has some holes in his game, 236 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: but really good to see the bats beat up on 237 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: Scooble and then the Detroit bullpen and anytime you can 238 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: pick up a seven to zhering win, it's just one 239 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: of those easy wins. The Braves did not have to 240 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: dip into their regulars in the bullpen and going into 241 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: an off day. It's really nice to give everybody kind 242 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: of a more relaxed win compared to, you know, one 243 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: where you really have to fight in claw. 244 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, you know, a breezy victory is all 245 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: was what you want, and you know it helps them 246 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: Showmark for a gets two home runs in the same 247 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: game and goes four for four. Obviously. You know, we've 248 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: kind of talked about Murphy's struggles relatively. I pushed back 249 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: a little bit on a previous show about you know, 250 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: there's this narrative that he had this terrible second half 251 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: quote unquote of last year, which really it wasn't true, 252 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: was September essentially only he was pretty good before that, 253 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: and this year he's been banged up, but his numbers 254 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: don't look good this year. We all kind of acknowledged that. 255 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: But he had like a fifty spot fifteen point I 256 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: should say doug RC plus jump in one game. Obviously 257 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: that's because of small tample size and how good he 258 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: was in this game. But it's a reminder if you 259 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: needed one on this Wednesday afternoon, that Sean Murphy is 260 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: quite good when he is right and healthy and playing. 261 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: That was nice to see. I mean, do you have 262 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: anything else to add about Sean Murphy. I feel like 263 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: we just kind of know he's I hesitate to use 264 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: the word star because people kind of recoil it that 265 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: I've found with regard to Sean Murphy. But he has 266 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: been a star for most of the last several years. 267 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's gonna always do what he 268 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: did on Wednesday, but it was just good to see 269 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: as a nice little comfort. 270 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, he needed a day like this. You know, he 271 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: has hit the ball pretty well over the last week 272 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: or so, including that should have been home run in 273 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: Baltimore that would have been a three run homer, and 274 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: Camden Yards got the best of him. Had a handful 275 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: of line drives against Tampa Bay over the weekend, and 276 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: then four for four, two homers. I mean, one of 277 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: the hits was a single. It maybe could have been 278 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: a double if he really had to bust it, but 279 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: the game was effectively out of hand at this point. 280 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: So he continues to hit the ball well. Seems like 281 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: he's getting good extension, really likes that ball out and 282 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: away from him to drive to center field. You just 283 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: have to be encouraged by Murphy and man, we've seen 284 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: that Austin Riley has awoken. If we can get Sean 285 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: Murphy going on top of Ozuna and Olsen and Jared 286 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: Kelnick has done a great job in the leadoff spot. 287 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 2: He was in that leadoff spot again today, even though 288 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: it was against a lefty. We know that guys like 289 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: Duval and Loriano can hit left handed pitching. It's really 290 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: a good sign if Murphy can get going, because sure, 291 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: maybe the close to his twenty twenty three was not 292 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: what we were hoping for, but this dude was awesome 293 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: in the first half of last season. We know what 294 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 2: he can do. He was quite good with Oakland and 295 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 2: let's hope that's just kind of another big step in 296 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: the right direction for him. 297 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you mentioned Riley. It's been well chronicle, but 298 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: two more hits today for Austin. He now, I think 299 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: is like looking at it now at one to four 300 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: arc plus with the season, which is not where you 301 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: want Austin Rabbit to be. But that's a huge jump 302 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: from where he was just a week ago. He has 303 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: been tearing the cover of the ball, as Shaw and 304 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: Steven discussed, even more so on Monday. But if you 305 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: missed that number one, listen to it. But number two, 306 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: Austin has been out of his mind now for almost 307 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: a week and that's been good to see him kind 308 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: of be himself again. That's kind of the offensive story 309 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: from Wednesday afternoon on the way to seven runs. But 310 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: you know that zero is always a very helpful thing 311 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: to have on the scoreboard in the opposing team run column. 312 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: Everton Aldo Lopez is just where are you supposed to say? 313 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: Olypes five score was hitting us again today. He wasn't 314 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: probably his absolute best, but he's the ray now. As 315 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: you pull and add into our document is a measly 316 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: one point five to seven Scott that's sounds made up 317 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: in mid June for a guy who's made every schedule 318 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: start along the way. 319 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: Just so impressive with Rinaldo Lopez and I like you said, 320 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: what more can we say? He continues to get strikeouts, 321 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: He continues to hit the upper nineties with his fastball 322 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: when he needs it, which is really impressive. It's probably 323 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: a throwback to his days in the bullpen where he 324 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: was regularly hitting upper nineties. He hasn't quite been that 325 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: guy as we all kind of suspected as a starter, 326 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: but knowing that he has ninety eight or ninety nine 327 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: in his back pocket whenever he needs it. He had 328 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: a tremendous strike three looking in the fifth inning today 329 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: against Mark Canna when he got into a little bit 330 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: of trouble and just dotted a ninety nine fastball on 331 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: the outside corner to get out of. Really one of 332 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: the few jams that Detroit was able to get against him. 333 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 2: One five to seven ERA through thirteen starts the lowest 334 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: ra for a brave starter through thirteen star since Tom 335 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: Glavin in two thousand and two. That guy, Tom Glavin, 336 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer one of the maybe fifteen best pictures 337 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: of all time, maybe top twenty. I mean, really, just 338 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: it is remarkable that the Braves we're able to identify 339 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: Lopez and get this out of him so far. I mean, 340 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: what else can we say. 341 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: Brad, Yeah, anytime you're in the same breath as Tom Glavin, 342 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: that's usually a good sign. And when you're talking about 343 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: his rookie season where he wasn't very good, but basically 344 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: every moment after that Hall of Famer is a firm 345 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: sentiment there. So obviously he's talking to Tom Glavin, I 346 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: don't think. But hey, keep it going on all though, 347 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: we're all that would be appreciated by everybody that's observing 348 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: the Braves on a daily basis. And by the way, 349 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: you note this, and I'm gonna give it, I'm gonna 350 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: hand it off to you, but Aaron Bummer has been 351 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: very good. I know Steven had a kind of semi 352 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: viral tweet about Aaron Bummer in the last couple of days. 353 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: But Aaron Bummer is like quite good. And I think 354 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: people for some reason haven't found that out yet or 355 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: haven't caught up to that yet. I think it's because 356 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: of the slow start, but yeah, shut some light on 357 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: Aaron recently. 358 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: First impressions can be hard to shake, and to be honest, 359 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 2: Aaron Bummer's start was not great with the Braves. Gave 360 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: up four runs in Philly and his second appearance with 361 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: the team, and that's something that can kind of linger 362 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 2: in the back of your mind. But this dude has 363 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: been awesome really on the whole, even with the slow start, 364 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: his numbers are really strong. And since the slower start, 365 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: I mean, you're looking at a reliever here with a 366 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: two point four ERA and FIPP. He gets a lot 367 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: of strikeouts, he gets a lot of ground balls. He 368 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: has been I tweeted as much on Wednesday. He has 369 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: been a great addition to the pitching staff and Alex 370 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: Enthopolis and his team really did smash the offseason in 371 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: terms of pitching, adding Chris Sale, adding Ronaldo Lopez, adding 372 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 2: Aaron Bummer, bringing back Joe Hemenez and Pierce Johnson and 373 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: eventually Jesse Chavez. I mean that those all six of 374 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: those arms have been huge for the Braves this season. 375 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: And maybe some fans have caught on to how good 376 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: Aaron Bummer has been, but we did want to give 377 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: him a shout out, and Brad, we also want to 378 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 2: give Grant Holmes a shout Yeah, a perfect ninth inning. 379 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: I think you threw all of like seven pitches. We 380 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 2: absolutely love to see that when the team is up 381 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: seven nothing and ready for a day off. So the 382 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: legend of Grant Holmes growing by the day. A very 383 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: breezy ninth inning and overall, man, just good vibes with 384 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: this team right now, which is encouraging considering they have 385 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: a huge series against the Yankees coming up. 386 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Grant Holmes, so we mentioned has let us on 387 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: the previous podcast on Sunday, but I believe it's now 388 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: four career innings and no runs. That's all you can 389 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: ask for for a guy who's just outed to the 390 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: roster out of nowhere. I know you mentioned being a 391 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: sucker for that kind of story on Sunday. I definitely 392 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: agree with you. And a nice little way to round 393 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: things out in the suite before the off day on Thursday. Okay, Scott, 394 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: we do have more to get to with regard to 395 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: some new stuff on AGM Minster and Ian Anderson. 396 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 2: Plus, as you. 397 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: Just laid out a preview at least of sorts about 398 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: the weekend series against the Yankees, But first they work 399 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: with more friends at AG about ag one from our 400 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: friends at Fella Territory. 401 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: Aircrats here from FT.

AJ is scheduled to pitch 424 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: in rehab fashion on Saturday in Rome. I know we 425 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: kind of speculated, not that he would be able to 426 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: definitely come back, but because he was eligible to return 427 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: earlier this week, I was just thinking aloud, like, maybe 428 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: he can come back. He's not that close, it seems like. 429 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: And honestly the reason because of that was because I 430 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: guess the hip issue was kind of serious with najam Menster. 431 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: What do you make of that? And also, you know, 432 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: everybod's keeping eye on him because as we've always said, 433 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: he's he's quite good. So when when he's back and healthy, 434 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: the bullpen is much stronger. 435 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be great to get Aja back in the 436 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 2: bullpen mix. Now currently it's just Bummer and Dylan Lee 437 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: from the left side, So getting that third left he 438 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: is going to be very valuable. And you know, we 439 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: talked about was probably pitching through an injury earlier this 440 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: year that he shouldn't have been pitching through because I 441 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: don't know if you caught these quotes that Mintor told 442 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: the Atlanta Journal Constitution. But his quote was, quote, it's 443 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: kind of hard to throw when you can't use your 444 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: legs the way you want to end quote. I would agree. 445 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: I've never been a major league pitcher, but I can 446 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: only imagine what that's like. Yeah, I mean, you know, 447 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: generally you need your your legs to be able to 448 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: pitch well. And another addition to that article, it was 449 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: called the left hip impingement, and that occurs when there 450 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: is quote abnormal alignment of in contact. Let me start 451 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: that over. There is abnormal alignment between the contact of 452 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 2: the bones that form the ball and socket of the 453 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 2: hip joint. Brad, that sounds pretty painful. I don't know 454 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: how you would not thank you. We'll be about what 455 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: I would say to that pass. Yeah, yeah, I don't 456 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: know how you would like pitch let alone, just like 457 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 2: walk or go up a fly to stairs with that. 458 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: So I'm glad that Aj is feeling better. If anyone 459 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 2: is in the area, it sounds like he is going 460 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: to pitch on Saturday as well as all goes well 461 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: between now and then with the Rome emperors, and it's 462 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 2: only going to help the bullpen. We know how good 463 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: AJ is when he's been healthy, and and you know, 464 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 2: I would imagine maybe early next week the Braves would 465 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: add him to the mix. You would hope so. 466 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: And obviously, if there's any changes there, we'll touch on 467 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: them at some point on the podcast the next few days. 468 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: But that is the plan from what the Braves have 469 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: said and what's been reported. So keep an eye on that. 470 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: I Anderson pitched in real life professional baseball on Tuesday 471 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: in he for a complex league. He by all accounts, 472 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: I did not watch the start, but he did look good, 473 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: and the people that I trust to evaluate him that 474 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: did watch the start said he pitched very well. Look 475 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: it's it's two innings, twenty seven pitches, Like it's not 476 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: that it's not that crazy of a sample size, but 477 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: he hasn't pitched it in a very, very very long time. 478 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: And obviously he is a big name. He was once 479 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: one of their promising prospects. You know, he is a 480 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: little order out, but he's still not that old for 481 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: a guy who's been around for a long time. And 482 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, while I would caution, I guess more so 483 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: like encourage caution from people, assuming he's me back and 484 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: better than ever. It's just a good data point as 485 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: he returns. 486 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with Ian there has to be some 487 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: guarded optimism, as you said, a pitcher who has not 488 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: pitched in quite some time competitively. Really it was the 489 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: fall of twenty twenty two was the last time Ian 490 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 2: was pitching regularly. Had Tommy John in April of twenty 491 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: three and is now on the recovery path about fourteen 492 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: months removed from that surgery. It was encouraging to see 493 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: his velocity was strong. By all accounts. He was sitting 494 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: around ninety three to ninety five, and I mean, you know, 495 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: pitching in the FCL is about as low as it 496 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 2: gets for domestic minor league pitching, but nonetheless a good 497 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 2: step for Ian. I know I saw some people talking 498 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: about him being an impact edition for the second half. 499 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: I think we have to show a little bit of 500 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 2: caution with that. There can be a lot of hiccups 501 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 2: and bumps on the road. You have to hope that 502 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: his health cooperates, that his elbow or his shoulder don't 503 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: get sore as he really rams things up. But until 504 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: that time, maybe presents itself. I would imagine that Ian 505 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 2: will continue pitching down in Northport for a couple more 506 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 2: weeks and then eventually work his way to the minor leagues. 507 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 2: And let's hope it would be a great story for 508 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: Ian to make it all the way back. Of course, 509 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 2: he is a postseason legend in Atlanta, and if he 510 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: is able to make an impact this season or even 511 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, it would go a long way 512 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: for the Braves. 513 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, just to back you up, his last major league 514 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: appearance was August thirteenth of twenty twenty two. That is 515 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: almost two years ago. That's a long time. And while 516 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: he of course was quite good when he first debuted 517 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: and was pretty darn good in twenty twenty one, he 518 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: was not good in twenty twenty two, and that was 519 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: pretty as you know, we would assume it's pre injury, 520 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: so it's I'm not saying it can't happen. I think 521 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: that Ian obviously has talent. He was the number three 522 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: over our pick in the draft for a reason. But 523 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: I would be we're on the stand page there. I 524 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't assume anything, And you know, it'd be a nice 525 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: surprise or a nice and a nice bonus if he 526 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: were to be back in you know, August or whatever 527 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: in the in the majors and be able to help them, 528 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: but it can't. Hep to have more depth. We'll see 529 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: how that goes, and we'll obviously be keeping an eye 530 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: on him as he progresses. Scott, before you got out 531 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: of here, let us preview quickly the weekend series. Now 532 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: several caveats. We're recording this podcast on Wednesday afternoon, much 533 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: earlier than we normally would because there was an afternoon 534 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: twelve twenty aka nine to twenty am game today for 535 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: Scott on the not even not even the West coast 536 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: and out there in Arizona. The Braves are off on Thursday. 537 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: As you referenced earlier, it's their last day off for 538 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: quite a while. But also they're playing the Yankees this weekend. 539 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: The Yankees have, as we're recording this, two more games 540 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: before they play the Braves, so it's a little bit 541 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: of interesting. They played tonight and they also play on Thursday, 542 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: so a lot of this can change. Keep out in 543 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: mind also, just because people love this. Friday Night's game 544 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: is an Apple TV Plus exclusive. I know everyone loves those, right, Scott, 545 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: All brads fans love those games. 546 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: The reaction is always a little extreme. I will say, 547 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: if you look around the Internet, there are free codes 548 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 2: for three months of Apple TV Plus all over the place. 549 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: And you always share them, which I think is a 550 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: great thing that you do. You go find them and 551 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: tweet and tweet. And by the way, this is not illegal, 552 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: but this is one of those like actually free, like 553 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: legit promo code things. We're not saying go stream it illegally, 554 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: We're saying you can actually go do this legit. 555 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: Yes, I think the three trillion dollar company of Apple 556 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: can probably afford a couple of free Apple TV Plus passes. 557 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: So I will try to find that link and tweet 558 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 2: it out on Friday at Scott Coleman fifty five over there, 559 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: and we'll retweet it and share it from the Hammer 560 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: Territory Twitter, which please follow that if you were not already, 561 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 2: so you will have a way to watch. I know 562 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: people naturally get a little frustrated by not being able 563 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 2: to watch it on television or on MLB TV, but 564 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: I guess if you do have Exfinity in the Atlanta area. 565 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: I was actually gonna say that there's a there's an 566 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: argument that it's actually easier to watch Apple TV games 567 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: right now in Atlanta than it is games on Valley, 568 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's that. Also Saturday Nights game is a 569 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: Fox National telecast, so it's Braise Yankees, two of the 570 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: bigger brands in the sports. So they're trying to showcase 571 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: that across Bach League Baseball. But I gave the caveats 572 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: about like how long, how much can change, because you know, 573 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: the probables are out for both teams. The Braids are 574 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: going to be sending Chris Sale, Charlie Morton, and Max 575 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: Freed to the mound obviously, no no holding back there, 576 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: three of their big four guns. And then on the 577 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: Yankee side they're actually with the bras will probably are 578 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: we scheduled to miss both Garrett Cole and is a 579 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: Gill is alway guilt Like I I never want to 580 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: say his name out loud. 581 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: I think, so, yeah, need to familiarize myself with Louis 582 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 2: Gill because he's like maybe the American League Cy young winner. 583 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: If I've read about him quite a bit, and I 584 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever said his day, it might be 585 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: heal as I'm reading this now, so keep out in 586 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: mind anyway, forgive that, but I've actually read all about 587 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: him even before Rose's pitching against because because, like you said, 588 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: he's having this fantastic season. But anyway, they're gonna miss 589 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: those guys and used. According to the current probables as 590 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: of Wednesday, it's Carlos Rodon, Marcus Stroman and Nestra Cortes. 591 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: Not a bad slate of pitchers for the Yankees. And 592 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: just say this out loud, Scott, the Yankees are awesome. Unfortunately, Uh, 593 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: the record is very good. They're different is very good. 594 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: They have two legitimate superstars, although one of them muf 595 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: you hurt right now, keep an eye on that. But 596 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: what are you looking for this weekend? 597 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be a fun series in the Bronx. 598 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: The Braves are clearly finding their groove and are playing 599 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,239 Speaker 2: much better, and they are not going to see New 600 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: York's two best pitchers. He mentioned the Yankees have been 601 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: good all season long, and they have not gotten a 602 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: start out of Garrett Cole till today. That kind of 603 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: tells you where they are at. Without the reigning Cy 604 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: Young winner, arguably the best pitcher in baseball the past 605 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: couple of years. The lineup is very good. Aaron Judge 606 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: is a maniac. Juan Soto is equally a maniac and 607 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 2: a player who has just tormented Atlanta over the years. 608 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge did get hit on the hand last night 609 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: in a game. Nothing was broken, but I guess it's 610 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 2: possible he might miss a little bit of time. A 611 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: good thing that it's not a serious injury. But you 612 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: know what, Aaron, take the weekend off, buddy, make sure 613 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 2: you play real careful, real cautious. Don't need to rush 614 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 2: it against the Braves. A lot of baseball left, but 615 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: you know, in some ways a measuring stick game, a 616 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: prime series between two very good teams. And let's hope 617 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: that what the Braves were able to do over the 618 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 2: last week or so is going to carry over. It's 619 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 2: going to be a good time, and you know, it 620 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: is nice. I guess that we are not getting Sunday 621 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 2: night baseball, Brad, which I think we all don't love. 622 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: It is an afternoon start on Sunday, which is kind 623 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: of a because of the markets of these two teams, 624 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: but we will take that every single time. 625 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a tradeoff of having the Friday night and 626 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: Saturday night games beat national telecast is that there's no 627 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: ESPN on Sunday, so a nice cozy, warm blanket of 628 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: an afternoon game on Sunday afternoon, and just to put 629 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: a point on it, this is going to change for Friday. 630 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: But the Yankees are currently, as we record this podcast, 631 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: fifty one and twenty four this season. So I didn't 632 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: say that out loud, but we were not exaggerating about 633 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: how good they have played this season. In fact, they 634 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: have the best record in baseball at this very moment, 635 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: a full game ahead of the Phillies for that honor, 636 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: and I believe they also yes, they also leave the 637 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: league and run differential at this moment, so we're not 638 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: just casting them up. They are very good. And hey, 639 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: look the Braz's been playing very well. Six wins in 640 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: the last seven games. Vibes are improving all of that. 641 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: What you don't want to do is go get swept 642 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: in New York. That would be rough, but I'm not 643 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: expecting that. I wouldn't say I'm not spending a sweep 644 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: on the other side either, But hey, if you want 645 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: to keep rolling, Braves, if you want to look up 646 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: on Sunday evening at Scott and I can do a 647 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: recap show of another sweep and nine wins in the 648 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: last ten. 649 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 2: I would be very appreciative of that. Yeah, baby, that 650 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 2: would be awesome. You mentioned Chris Saylee, Charlie Morton, Max 651 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: Freed on the mound. I will take the Braves chances, 652 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: especially with Sale and Freed anytime he can, oh, come on, oh, 653 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 2: come on, whoa, I was gonna get to your boy, 654 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: come on, I'm sure. And Charlie Morton against Marcus stroman 655 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 2: pretty equal, pretty even balance pitching matchup, so it should 656 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: be a great series. All eyes will be on New 657 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 2: York again. Anytime these two clubs get together, they could 658 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: just brings a little bit of buzz and excitement in 659 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 2: the air. And yeah, let's hope the Braves can keep 660 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 2: it rolling. If they could take the series in New 661 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: York against a very good Yankees team, that would just 662 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 2: continue to pour a little bit more fuel onto this fire. 663 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: It would be a great way to start off this 664 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 2: road trip here because they believe they're in New York, 665 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: and then they go to Saint Louis against an okay 666 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: Cardinals team, and then they have that very random makeup 667 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: game against the Chicago White Sox because it was a 668 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 2: blizzard in Chicago in late March. Who could have seen 669 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: that coming, and but yeah, a seven game road trip 670 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: on the horizon for the Braves and a little bit 671 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: of luck keep this thing rolling, and let's get a 672 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: couple of wins in New York. 673 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: Just a nice Thursday afternoon game in Chicago and a 674 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: standalone fashion against the turnable White Sox. That'll be appointment viewing. 675 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: I think for everybody. 676 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 2: How many fans are going to be in that ballpark 677 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 2: for a makeup Thursday afternoon South Side of Chicago baseball game. 678 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: I would imagine there are some Braves fans at Chicago 679 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: that might make the trip, but yeah, I would say 680 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: if it wasn't the braz it'd be even less. But 681 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: there will not be a huge crowd at three to 682 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: ten local time on a Thursday. Yeah, how many White Sox. 683 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 2: Fans are going to be? There's probably not. 684 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: Many, I would guess, but we'll Li's sene. If they 685 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: want to preve be rolling, that's okay with me. But alas, okay, Scott, 686 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: let's get out of here. 687 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 2: Keep it. 688 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: We'll try to keep it tighty. We went very long 689 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: on Sunday night in our typical fashion, and probably do 690 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: that again on Sunday. 691 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 2: But well, we've managed. 692 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: To get out of here in reasonable anything to plug 693 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: at the end of this Wednesday afternoon podcast not a. 694 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 2: Toime to plug.
