1
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, old Episode eighty two of the Hember Territory Podcast.

2
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I am your host, Brad Roland, coming to you deep

3
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: into the night here on a Sunday into Monday, and

4
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm joined as I often slash always am, by Scott Coleman. Scott,

5
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: I would say, kind of as usual on a Sunday night.

6
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: The fortunes of this podcast changed quickly at this time,

7
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: not for the better. Hey, Brad, Yeah, man, Does it

8
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: feel like Groundhog's Day to you? Because I feel like

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: we have watched that exact, maybe not the exact same

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: Braves baseball game as what we all watched on Sunday

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: night as the broadcast Bootslobbard over Sho Hao Tani for

12
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: three hours. But I mean, dear God, another just infuriating loss.

13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: I think the last six years of the Braves just

14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: being awesome has softened me quite a bit where I

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: don't get as worked up over regular season games as

16
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: much as I used to.

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: But Tonight's game got me about as fired up as

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: I get for regular season games these days, and with

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: two weeks to go, it was just an infuriating loss

20
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: for really, so many of the reasons that have plagued

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: this team for months now.

22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: It was kind of a microcosm of the season, and

23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: we will obviously dive into that one. We should stay

24
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: at the top of the show. If you are a

25

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: friends about the podcast. But yeah, it's certainly growded. Has

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: a good way to put it on this show and

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: look a lot of positives for the rest of the

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: weekend for the Braves. And it's a little bit weird. Normally,

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: a Sunday night show is a series wrap up, almost

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: without fail, but this time around, this is bizarre wrap

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: around series. We were not going to vacate our usual

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: recording slot on Sunday evening, especially after a National TV

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: game against the Dodgers, but they do play again tomorrow,

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit strange. Might be a little

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: bit shorter on this podcast because of that, but the

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: Braves still leave the series two to one. It does

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: not feel that way at all. We will dive in.

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: I promise everyone to the nuts and bolts of the

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: frustrating game on Sunday. Before we get to that kind

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: of broadly here, Scott, let's just check out on the

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: wildcard race. It's obviously a massive missed opportunity for the

51
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: Braves on Sunday, beyond the game itself, and I share

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: your sentiment earlier about how we don't get quite as

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: worked up as maybe some do. This is one that

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: was certainly heightened. That's almost magnified more by the fact that, yes,

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: the Braves are still tied with the Mets in the

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: wildcard race because the Phillies a huge favor to the

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Braves actually by being the Mets back to back days.

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: But the Braves could have been a game ahead of

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: the Mets and a game back of the Diamondbacks and

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: instead tied with the Mets and two back of the

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks because both the Diamondbacks and the Padres won an

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: extra innings, so it was basically on a knife's edge

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: all the way around the wildcard race. All four teams

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: were in incredibly competitive games, and unfortunately the Braves, they

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of took a pretty bad loss, while the Mets

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: did kind of implode as well, but the other two

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: teams won and that was not good for the Braves.

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, we are very much at the point

69
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: in the season where every single game matters, and not

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: only does it matter for the Braves, but it matters

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: for these three other teams who they are competing with

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: for the three wildcard spots. And it just felt like

73
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: the Braves really had a missed opportunity. They could have

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: won the first three games of the series against the Dodgers. Really,

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: up until the late innings on Sunday night, the Braves

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: had been playing fantastic baseball. Yeah, all three phases, offense, defense, hitching,

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: all of it on Friday, Saturday, and really most of

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: Sunday was great, and then they just kind of flushed

79
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: it all in those last couple of innings on Sunday night.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks played a wild game and ended up winning.

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: The Padres ended up sweeping the Giants, which is obviously

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: going to help out their cause. I think San Diego,

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: of these four teams, I think San Diego is probably

84
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: in They have a considerable lead. I think they're now

85
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: three full games up on the Braves and the Mets

86
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: with two weeks to go. And even though the Phillies

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: did the Braves are real solid on Sunday and came

88
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: back to beat New York. The fact that the Braves

89
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: could not find a way to win this game tonight

90
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: instead of being up a full game in the standings

91
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: and the control your own destiny phrase is always a

92
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: little funny to me, because I mean, literally every team

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: in baseball controls their own destiny. But it did feel

94
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: like the Braves really left I have some meat on

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: the bone by not finding a way to score a

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: couple of runs in that horrible eighth inning, and then

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: the way the game imploded in the ninth was very,

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: very frustrating to watch, absolutely And we'll get into all

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: of it, just the stage a little bit here on

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: the podcast where to get into briefly Saturday's game, which

101
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: was much more positive for Atlanta of course, a ten

102
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: to one victory, and then we'll dive into the nuts

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: and bolts and all the gruesome details of Sunday's brutal loss.

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: At the end of the podcast, we'll kind of look

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: ahead to the finale on Monday of this series, which

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: is a big time showdown of starting pitchers, and then

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: at the very end beyond that a little bit of

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: a glance ahead to the last road trip. Yes, the

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: last or trip of the season for the Braves begins

110
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Forgetting that stuff though at work, more partners

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: on the podcast today.

112
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Snoring sucks.

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: So does congestion from sinuses, allergies, or a cold, and

114
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: you might not even realize how much it's affecting you.

115
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: Ft fam. You need to try Va nasal Care. It's

116
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: been a game changer for me.

117
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kratz Navaj uses that smooth saline flow and nasal

118
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: suction to clear those nasal passages.

119
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: Now I'm breathing easy, easier, which is a pretty big

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: deal in my life. My navage unit is clearing my

121
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: congestion fast, day and night. I use it twice per

133
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: All right, Scott, we should at least acknowledge that they

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: did win the game on Friday. Our colleagues Sean Colin

135
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Stephen Tolbert broke it down in depth on Friday night

136
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: on the Same Beats. If you want detail about Friday's

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: win or the Dodgers schwallow Bach pitching well again, offense

138
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: taking the lead, all that stuff, listen to that episode.

139
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: But Saturday, I know, I think the only person in

140
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: the world that's been tracking this stat, Scott. The Braves

141
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: have been oh to seven this season when they were

142
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: thirteen games or five hundred. That's a very odd stat.

143
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: But they had this glass ceiling of thirteen games or

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: five hundred. This entire year for the first time and

145
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: to this point the only times they lost again today

146
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: they actually got through it in one game on Saturday

147
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: in very comfortable fashion.

148
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mentioned a couple of minutes ago

149
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: how well the Braves had executed in all three phases,

150
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: and in some ways Saturday night was the peak of

151
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: all of that. The offense had a couple of huge hits,

152
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: a basis clearing double by Orlando Arcia, a basis clearing

153
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: double by Matt Olsen, and as he has been basically

154
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: all year long, Chris Sale continues to be fantastic. I mean,

155
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: the Braves got the Dodgers pitching position players in the

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: seventh inning. To give you an idea of how well

157
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: the game on Saturday night went. That's pretty uncommon. I'm

158
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: sure Dave Roberts was just trying to salvage his bullpen

159
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: a little bit. But you know, as enjoyable as Friday

160
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: night was, we Schwellenbach and then Saturday was Sale. It

161
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: was good to win the first two games of the series,

162
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: and as frustrating as Sunday night was, in some ways,

163
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: Saturday was a very nice, breezy, no real drama win.

164
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: After the first couple of innings. That's right. And look,

165
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: my professional hat is telling me to emphasize on some

166
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: level that the Braves did win two of the first

167
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: three against the Dodgers. And if you gave us that

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: three days ago, I think that both of us would

169
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: have raised our hands and Exceptter that is that correct scat,

170
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: you would have Yeah.

171
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: I mean it's yes, I mean it's funny. It's like, Okay,

172
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: if I would have told John Thursday during the day off,

173
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: all right, Braves take two out of three and a

174
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: chance to win three out of four going into Monday,

175
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: of course you take that. But the way that Sunday's

176
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: game went, I think he's just left a bad taste

177
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: in everyone's mouth.

178
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: That's right. But yeah, of course ten runs on Saturday.

179
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: They actually did it without without a homer, which is

180
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: pretty rare for the Braves in particular to score that

181
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: many runs without a home run. They had six doubles

182
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: in the game. That definitely helps to do that. A

183
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: big deal by Matt Olsen, who actually I just want

184
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: to mention this now while we before Sunday because it

185
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: is going to come up again later on. I have

186
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: this theory that I came up with kind of today

187
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: even in our in our DM chat together at Hammer Territory,

188
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: it seems to me by the numbers and by the

189
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: roles and how things have gone, Matt Olsen and Marcelo

190
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: Zuna have basically just swapped. And what I what I

191
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: mean that is Ozuna was the only guy in the

192
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: lneup as i've as we've covered ad nauseum. We covered

193
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: a deep and deep die fashion on Wednesday actually this

194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: last week on the podcast. But Azuna has been the

195
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: guy all year long, that's been the steady hand for

196
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: the Brave's been all small year long, and for about

197
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: a month now he's been pretty ordinary, to be kind like,

198
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: he's kind of in a slump, and look, he's earned

199
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: the right to have a slump. He's been credible all

200
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: year long, but he's been pretty mediocre for a while.

201
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: In contrast, Matt Olsen had been mediocre before that, and

202
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: now Matt Olsen is like matd Olsen and Capitol letters

203
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: again for the last four or five six weeks. So

204
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's just a rule that only one of

205
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: the sluggers could be hot at the same time right now,

206
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: but it's kind of been mad Olsen and that continued

207
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: on Saturday and honestly in a Sunday too.

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is bizarre that I think, I

209
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: think our colleague Stephen Colbert had that. Now Marcel has

210
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: gone like one hundred and two plate appearances without a

211
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: home run, and that's very bizarre for a guy who

212
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: had like a legitimate chance at the National League Triple

213
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Crown maybe a month ago. And it's unfortunate that now

214
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: Marcel has come on hard times. Really, I mean, the

215
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: Braves would not even be close to the postseason picture

216
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: without what Marcel has done for this team for the

217
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: better part of the season. But the fact that he

218
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: has come on hard times in basically a maybe not

219
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: a must win game every night, but a game that

220
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: you very much need to win every single night is frustrating.

221
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: And hopefully Marcell figures it out sooner rather than later,

222
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: because if you have Matt Olsen hitting well and you

223
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: have Ozuna hitting there's been some signs of encouragement from

224
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: Jorges Solaire, you just kind of have to hope that

225
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: big three gets rocking and if and it's a big if,

226
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: but if you then you can get Austin Riley back

227
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: at some point these final two weeks, then you feel

228
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: like you have a pretty good core in the middle

229
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: of your lineup. But the Braves absolutely need more out

230
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: of Marcel and hopefully he breaks out of it this

231
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: upcoming week.

232
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: Yes, and just to throw the stats out there, he

233
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: is not homered since I believe it is August twentieth,

234
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: so about a calendar month, and he does not have

235
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: an RBI since August twenty seventh, and RBIs could be

236
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: overvalued in some respects, but that just kind of tells

237
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: you he's not been the same guy. Wow. Yeah, it's

238
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: been a lot.

239
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: That feels impossible to me.

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Wow, it does. Yeah. So the home run thing was

241
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: I knew Sally knew the home run drought. I did

242
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: not know the rb I droots will just now looking

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: at it. I think Steve had this too, But yeah,

244
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: August twenty seventh was his last RBI, which is wow,

245
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: not great anyway, So just saying that out loud. But anyway,

246
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: Jenny speaking Saturday's game was a positive. We should at

247
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: least say the name of Chris Sale out loud. We

248
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: do this every five days, it seems like, because he's

249
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: been incredible for a long time now. But another just

250
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: incredibly positive quality start for Chris Sale, and the stat

251
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: of the weekend, maybe even with the frustration today, is

252
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: that Chris Sale has now gone seventeen consecutive starts without

253
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: allowing more than two runs. He has not allowed more

254
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: than two runs in a game since June first. It

255
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: is September fifteenth, and the last time that a Brave

256
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: did that in a season was this guy named Greg Mannox.

257
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Is that good? Yeah, it's pretty good.

258
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 2: And I mean for all of the numbers that Sale

259
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: has put up, when you watch him every fifth night,

260
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: it feels like he iss been somehow even better than

261
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: like the historic names and stats that he's hitting again

262
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: just fantastic on Saturday Night. Sale is now a virtual

263
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: lock to win Cy Young in the National League. I

264
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: believe the sportsbooks all have him somewhere in the minus

265
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: four thousand of minus five thousand odds of winning the award,

266
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: which is a basic guarantee. He is also a guarantee

267
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: for a comeback Player of the Year. And I was

268
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: tweeting about this earlier, but Chris Sale behind Shohio Tani

269
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: and probably Francisco Lindor, I think Sale is going to

270
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: get a ton of MVP votes in the National League,

271
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 2: and I mean, for my money, I think you can

272
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 2: easily make a case that Chris Sale is top three

273
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: in MVP this year, maybe top five, but behind Otani

274
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: in Lindor, I'm not sure there is a player on

275
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: a National League team this season who has meant more

276
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: to his team's success, and as the stats to back

277
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: it up, I think we're.

278
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: On the same page there, and rarely would I have

279
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: a pitcher that high, but I think he's been so

280
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: clearly the best pitcher in the league, and aside from

281
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: the two guys you've mentioned, because it is a two

282
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: man race and really Otani is probably going to win,

283
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: but Lindor should be right there next to him. But

284
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: after that, I think definitely you can argue for Sale

285
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: at number three on the MVP list, And that's a

286
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: second amer concern, of course, and I'm with you, he's

287
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna winside young list something crazy happens in the next

288
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But yeah, awesome year. We've talked about

289
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: it a lot, but it's worth emphasizing. I know it

290
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: feels like we might be we're peating ourselves a little

291
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: bit on Chris Sales. Brilliance, but it is worth talking

292
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: about because he's been that good. One way that you

293
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: came up with, actually throw it to you to explain it.

294
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: There actually is a path for for Chrisdale to throw

295
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: three more times on regular rest down the stretch, and

296
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: because of the offense and things, I don't know if

297
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: they're going to do that, and I don't think you

298
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: do either, But that's a pretty intriguing thing. With the

299
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Braves now having only a handful of games left in

300
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: the season. As I mentioned before, on the one more

301
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: road trip this year, you could see the best pit

302
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: baseball for three more times. Yeah, So with two weeks

303
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: and thirteen games to go for the Atlanta Braves, there

304
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: is a world where Chris Sale could make three starts,

305
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: and really it would mean that Sale would be starting

306
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: three of the Braves' final ten regular season games if

307
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: the Braves do not adjust anything with your rotation, and frankly,

308
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they really can.

309
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see what they do without

310
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Ronaldo Lopez this upcoming week.

311
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: But in terms of.

312
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: Sale, he would be on regular rest on Thursday in

313
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: the series finale against the Cincinnati Reds, and then with

314
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: the off day the following Monday, Sale could start Game

315
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: one of the home series against the New York Mets,

316
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: which keptain obvious is a massive series, And then if

317
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: the Braves needed it, Chris Sale could start the season

318
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: finale at home.

319
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: Again to Kansas City Royals.

320
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: Now, let's hope that it doesn't come to that, especially

321
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: that last day of the season, game one sixty two.

322
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: In a perfect world, the Braves would not have to

323
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: pitch Sale and they would rest him and line him

324
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: up for Game one.

325
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Of the postseason. But if you need him, you need him.

326
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: So just a housekeeping note that the Braves, if they

327
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: stay on schedule and there's nothing weird like a rain out,

328
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: which would be quite bad at this point in the calendar,

329
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: Chris Sale could start three of the team's final ten games.

330
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: And hey, man, I mean baseball, it's a funny game.

331
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: I think two of sales losses this season were to

332
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: the Miami Morlands and the Oakland Athletics. But this team,

333
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: with Sale on the mound, I will take their chances

334
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: against basically anyone.

335
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Yes, and again, tvdble do they actually do that? And

336
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: just for the record, as we look ahead a little bit,

337
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: the race do have to come up with a plan

338
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: of some kind on Tuesday. That is the spot vacated

339
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: by Lopez, and no one else is going to be

340
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: ready as far as the big floor is concern. So

341
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: that's going to be a spot start of some kind

342
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: and then we'll figure it out from their one more

343
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: stat at Chris sil move on to the dreary Sunday breakdown.

344
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: The Braves are now twenty one and seven this year

345
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: with Chris Sale on the mound, and they are one

346
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: game under five hundred when he does not pitch. So

347
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: that's the difference. And it might not seem crazy, but

348
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: like they are middling without Chris Sale and they are

349
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: dominant with him, and that's pretty simple.

350
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I mean again, most valuable player. That's about

351
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: as valuable as it gets for a playoff contender.

352
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Scott, let's do the not so fun thing I

353
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: was talking about Sunday's game. So people probably know the

354
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: story if they are listening to this podcast, but in

355
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: case you don't, the Braves led to nothing beginning of

356
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: the third ending, they actually scored a run and start

357
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: both runs in kind of bizarre fashion for the Braves.

358
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: They had three walks a catcher's interference and a single

359
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: to go up to nothing. And at that point you

360
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: feel pretty good because Walker Buehler, while he is a

361
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: big name in a pedigree pitcher, has been pretty bad

362
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: this year, actually sneakily for the Dodgers. So you're up

363
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: to nothing with Chuck Mordan we'll come back to in

364
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: a second pitching pretty well and a guy in Buehler

365
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: who's not been pitching very well. But unfortunately that was

366
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: the end of the scoring. And while a lot of

367
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: the end of the game is going to be worth

368
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: talking about, I want to stop right here and just

369
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: say it seems obvious, but the Bridge just have to

370
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: score more runs, like you. I mean, a lot of

371
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: us could have been avoided if the Braves didn't just

372
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: only get two against Walker Buehler and not even the

373
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: top of the Dodger's bullpen. Because it's a margin rarefit

374
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: We've be talking about for weeks now, but that is

375
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: where things start. You probably should have scored more than

376
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: two runs.

377
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, offense masks everything else. Right, If you're

378
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: pitching staff doesn't have a great night, but the lineup

379
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: puts up eight runs, you're not talking about it. You're

380
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: talking about the lineup being great, and you're right. The

381
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: Braves had an opportunity v Actually in the third inning,

382
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: they did scratch across two runs. I thought the approach

383
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: was really strong in the third, a lot of patients.

384
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: The Braves really made Walker Bueller work. I mean, the

385
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: guy was, his jersey was like drenched in sweat. And unfortunately,

386
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 2: I mean I thought Jared Kelnick hit a grand slam.

387
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: He just missed one. I think it was to the

388
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: warning track in right field. Obviously that would have completely

389
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: changed the game. But the Braves had a couple of

390
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: opportunities on Sunday night, and other than the two runs

391
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 2: they scratched across in the third, they couldn't pile on

392
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: there and really put the game out of reach early

393
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: like they had done on Friday and Saturday. And then

394
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: oh my god, later on man that eighth inning. If

395
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: the Braves end up missing the playoffs by a game

396
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: or whatever the situation is, I know I will look

397
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: back on tonight's eighth inning and then the subsequent ninth

398
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: inning and just kind of bang my head against the

399
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: wall because that was I mean, it was just painful

400
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: to watch.

401
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, So let's just go to that now while we're here.

402
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the Braves did give up one run in

403
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the game when there was some controversy

404
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: about whether Morton should have been taken out. I tried

405
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: to flag it in the moment Morton was wobbly. While

406
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: he pitched quite well in this game and has been

407
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: pitching quite well for several weeks now, he gave one

408
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: back to actually got he got to a Tani, which

409
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: is fitting because of what's about to happen that Dylan

410
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Lee pitches in the seventh and this is a Dylan

411
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: Lee appreciation zone. But he wasn't his best and gets two, yes,

412
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: two pitchclock violations in the same menning, including a second

413
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: one leading directly to a walk that would have ended

414
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: the inning. And suddenly it's a tie game because a

415
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Tani is an alien. So let's just stop there. Anything

416
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: that you wanted to point out about that whole sequence

417
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: from the fifth of the seventh, because obviously it wasn't

418
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: as high profile as the eighth or ninth, but the

419
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: Braves kind of had some interesting moments to cut to.

420
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: I guess, quote unquote blow there too.

421
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: Nothing wed, Yeah, I mean, what was Dylan Lee doing.

422
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: I don't really know, but I mean the one that

423
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: was the egregious one was the was the walk, of course,

424
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: and it felt to me like he was set for

425
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: like five seconds. Yeah, didn't throw the baseball. I don't know.

426
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: Showed it in between the the four hours of show

427
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: hail Tani commentary. They showed Dylan Lee was set and

428
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: there was five seconds on the pitch clock and he

429
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: literally stood there like dude, wait and he and Lee

430
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: had already gotten the one pitchclock violation.

431
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: So that's so crazy to me. That's the thing, like

432
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: if that had been if that had been his first

433
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: one of the ending, it would have been weird. But

434
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: I feel like if you get one, your antenna's up right,

435
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: Like if you if you default and you get a

436
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: ball on it, great, it didn't it didn't cost him

437
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: in that plate appearance earlier. But I feel like getting

438
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: the one is like, Okay, we just messed up our timing.

439
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: Let's let's reaset a little bit. Oh yeah, what you

440
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: can't do is have by the way, it's three two.

441
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a three two count. You can't give you

442
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: cannot get a pitchlog violation there. It's just it's by

443
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: the way, again, we love Dylan link at least really good.

444
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: I just it was weird.

445
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: So weird, yes, so the fact that Dylan got two

446
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 2: quick outs in the seventh inning, then pitchclock violationed his

447
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: way to a walk, then gave up a single to

448
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: a pinch hitter, and then to his credit, he got

449
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: ahead O two on show. Hey, but I mean, it

450
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: wasn't a terrible pitch, but to leave an O two

451
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: slider in the zone, you got to bury at least

452
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: one of those. And it wasn't even like there was

453
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: a runner on third base. I mean, worst case, you

454
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: bounce one and Travis can't block it and the runners advance.

455
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not ideal, but it's hardly the end

456
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 2: of the world. It was an O two slider in

457
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: the zone to a very good hitter and the Braves

458
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: paid for it. And overall Dylan has been fantastic this year.

459
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 2: But just man, two pitchclock violations for a guy who

460
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: should know better, and you know, I mean even Travis Darnault.

461
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Darneault needs to be like more

462
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: alert out there because you will see catchers call time

463
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: with like a second on the pitch clock to save

464
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: their pitcher sometimes I don't know, man, just an infuriating

465
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: seventh inning to let the.

466
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: Game get tied.

467
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: And little did we know that was just the appetizer

468
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: to the eighth.

469
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: And the ninth. Yeah, that's right, and I am obligated

470
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: to point out that Charlie Morton deserved better. That's all

471
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: I'll say. Charlie Morton deserve better. He pitched very well

472
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: in this game. Okay, to the Charlie, I want to

473
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: go ahead.

474
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: I know you would do a happily do a victory lap,

475
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: and I want to let you have your flowers. But yes,

476
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: Charlie Morton very good. Last seven starts a two point six'

477
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: eight e ra AND i, Mean, Charlie charlie did his

478
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: job and he should have gotten a win On sunday.

479
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: Night, yes and we'll leave it. There no reason to

480
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: focus on. That But charlie's been pitching really. Well we

481
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: talked about it a number of. Times, okay here's when

482
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: we knew things were going to be going. SIDEWAYS i

483
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: think everybody felt the same thing in this moment in

484
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: the eighth, inning the game is now. Tied The braves

485
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: have a great Opportunity Marcelo zuna draws a walk to

486
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: lean off the. Inning he, is of course Because Bryce

487
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: siker CAN i help? Himself pinch run four By Ela.

488
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: White Then Matt olsen. Doubles and by the, way the

489
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: double was almost a home. Run it would have been

490
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: a home run according to that cast in fourteen, ballparks

491
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: so even that was like a couple of feet away

492
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: from a two run lead for The. Braves, instead it's

493
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: off the wall and it's second and third with no.

494
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: Out great. SITUATION i think we all have the same

495
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: fear of what this team has done this. YEAR i

496
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: will just ask you one, thing all due respect To Eli,

497
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: white if you're going to have a pinch, hitter sorry pinch,

498
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: runner that you burn either your best or second best

499
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: hitter for in the aighth inning at it and he

500
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: can't score from first on a double off the, wall

501
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: that's not great in my. Opinion AND i think in

502
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: general you do default in not sending a guy with no.

503
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Outs i'll be the first to say, That so maybe

504
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: that's what all it. IS i just in a vacuum

505
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: if you tell, me, hey this is a pinch. Runner

506
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: And olsen doubles off the wall and he doesn't, score

507
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: and we've just burned those in a and it's, like all,

508
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: right probably should score, THERE i think, maybe.

509
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean what does it say about this season,

510
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: when like momentarily after that double happened From oltsen And

511
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: white does not, Score LIKE i, THINK i messaged our

512
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: group chat like second and, third no, outs what could go?

513
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Wrong that's that's what you, said and we all thought

514
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: the same. Thing and, granted some of that's just, dumerism

515
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: AND i understand that, here but it's also a hint

516
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: of truth because this has been a theme this year

517
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: for this, team the lack of situational, hitting all those.

518
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: Things and also you couldn't have possibly drawn it up

519
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: in more frustrating fashion Because, travis who we, love swung.

520
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: IT i, mean according to the pitch, data swung at

521
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: ball for three times with nobody, out second and, third

522
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: the pitch that he ended up generating the out on

523
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: in a full, Count, SCOTT i mean it almost hit.

524
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: Him it was nowhere close to the play like it was.

525
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: Comical it was not even near of his. Own he makes,

526
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: contact but soft, contact and you don't send the runner

527
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: from third on like a two hundred foot fly out

528
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: which is. Understandable and Then Rolando, Arcia i'm not exaggerating

529
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: WHEN i say this did not see a strike in

530
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: six pitches and struck. Out AND i guess my only defense,

531
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: Here scott would be that the pitching was sitting like

532
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: one hundred hundred and, one so there's a little bit

533
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: of allowance For, hey this guy's throwing one, hundred so

534
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder for. You at the same,

535
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: time these are two veteran guys and you just cannot

536
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: swing at ball for seven combined, times eight combined times

537
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: like it was. Crazy, well and.

538
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: It's just more of the same WHERE i swear To,

539
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 2: god this team gets a runner and scoring position And

540
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: Kevin seitzer starts screaming to, swing, swing swing. RIGHT i,

541
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: mean this was hardly the first time this season where

542
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: The braves have a big opportunity to score and seemingly

543
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: all they do is step into the box and they

544
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: prepare their swing no matter what pitch is. COMING i

545
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: think in, total fourteen pitches were thrown To darnault And,

546
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: arcia and two of them were in the strike, zone

547
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: including the very first pitch thrown To, Darnault so that

548
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: means after strike one To Travis darnault with runners on

549
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: second and third and nobody. Out the next thirteen, pitches

550
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: only one of them was in the strike, zone and

551
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: The braves managed to swing at ball four about nine,

552
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: times a shallow pop fly to left, field which was

553
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: basically a, strikeout.

554
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: And Then Orlando.

555
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: Arcia, MAN i, MEAN i know we had the big

556
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 2: hit On saturday, night but Dear, GOD i mean that

557
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: was a that was an amateur approach at THE i,

558
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: mean that's WHAT i would do IF i had, to you,

559
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: know he, Go, scott go swing the. BAT i would

560
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: literally swing at everything thrown my way with no real.

561
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: CHANCE i, mean even if even If orlando makes contact

562
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: with one of those base, balls he's not gonna do

563
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: anything with. It they almost hit him in the.

564
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: Head come, On, yeah it. Was it was. Tough it was,

565
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: tough AND i don't LIKE i said it once. Before

566
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: i'll say it one more time so we don't get

567
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: yelled that by. Anybody the guy throw one hundred and

568
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: one miles an. HOUR i understand it is, difficult BUT

569
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: i thought those were two really pretty poor play appearances

570
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: from veteran, guys and they're. NOT i, Mean jonas is

571
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: having a good. Year but they're not your, mashers but

572
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: they you should be able to get a run in

573
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: from third. Base And Eli white is a fast. Runner

574
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: he's not you, know Prime Billy, hamilton but he can

575
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: run and anything anywhere more than more than two or

576
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: fiftyifty feet in the outfield or a ground ball something,

577
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: like he's, scoring and you just didn't make it. Happen

578
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: and kelenk strikes out to end, it and quite, frankly

579
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: we all knew it was gonna happen after. That, NOW

580
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: i will also give the caveat THAT i did not

581
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: expect what actually happened to happen in the, ninth but

582
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: if you, had in, FACT i had the text messages

583
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: to prove. It between you AND, i we knew The

584
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: brays were gonna lose this game at the end of

585
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: the oh with.

586
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: A podcast coming right. AFTER i mean, NEVER i mean, never,

587
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: ever ever in doubt that after after that cursed eighth,

588
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: inning something bad was going to happen in the. Ninth,

589
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: yeah it was worse than, expected but that's worthy of

590
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: worthy of. Noting, look we've been chronicling.

591
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: This actually for a long, time about how dominant and

592
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous WHERE i Sail glasis has been and then he

593
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: actually dodged a. Bullet he got pretty lucky on what

594
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: was a near home run with one out for The

595
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: dodgers in the, ninth but then he gets two, outs

596
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: the game is still two to. Two they intentionally Walk

597
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: otian to get to. Bets did you mind that BECAUSE

598
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: i did. Not, Personally, NO i did. NOT i, mean,

599
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: hey when your organization has a billion dollars to spend

600
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: on two, players you're gonna prompt the other team to

601
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: have a very difficult decision to, make and in the

602
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: MOMENT i had no issue Walking ontani to Face. Mookie we,

603
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: agree especially Because atani had been the only guy who's

604
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: beating them all that. Long he also left, handed whereas

605
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: that's his, knots but of course that's his excellent Future

606
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: hall Of, famer et. Cetera he Beats, iglesias which. Happens

607
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't like an absolute, rocket but it was up

608
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: to the, middle well, placed et. Cetera The rags knocked

609
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: down three to. Two Then freddy comes up singles in another.

610
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: Run Jared kelnick overruns the ball and It's Benny hill music.

611
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: Playing it's five to, two and Then iglesius because of

612
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: a two run homer to really really end the. Game

613
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: it was over, already but it was really over at

614
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: that point in. Time and a couple of stats on

615
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: A Ray, cell who has been incredible this. Year he's

616
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: been the best reliever in The National. League i'm saying

617
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: that out loud BEFORE i say. This it was his

618
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: FIRST urn run allowed in three. Months june sixteenth was

619
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: his LAST urn run. Allowed and this is the one

620
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: THAT i pulled. MYSELF i couldn't believe, it but it's.

621
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: True his season LONG era it Is september. Fifteenth there's

622
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of data. Here his season long yet ra

623
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: went from one point one to, six which is, absurd of,

624
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: course to one point eighty seven in three. Batters it

625
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: jumped three cores of a run in about four minutes In.

626
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: SEPTEMBER i don't know what to. SAY i, mean it

627
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: was it was like cats and, dogs you, know like,

628
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: rains it, poors whichever one you want to, say throw out, there,

629
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: RIGHT i still just kind OF i guess he probably lost.

630
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: Composure and Then John, brebbia by the, way comes in

631
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: and gets BECAUSE i runs for two bowerty. Faces pretty.

632
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: FUNNY i don't, know it was just it was already,

633
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: over so it didn't actually. Matter but, man it was an.

634
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: Avalanche, YEAH i mean just after the eighth, inning going

635
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: the way it. Did the fact at Rice, LL i

636
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: mean it was just a rare off night for. HIM i,

637
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 2: mean you said It june, sixteenth and really it wasn't

638
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: even just. THAT i Mean Will smith somehow did Not.

639
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: Homer the ball landed perfectly off of the top of

640
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: the center field, wall AND i THINK.

641
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: I, THINK i, mean like our Guy grant McCauley pointed,

642
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: out he was, LIKE i don't Think i've ever seen

643
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: the ball do that in the area of the, park

644
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: AND i trust Great great's been in a lot of

645
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: games for a long.

646
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: Time, YEAH i, mean it like defied physics that the

647
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: baseball didn't bounce after traveling four hundred. Feet you would

648
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: think when it, bounces it would bounce in the direction

649
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: it had been traveling for four hundred.

650
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: Feet it.

651
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: Didn't and Then Rice eell was able to get a

652
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: first pitch ground out comebacker that then it was like

653
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: two outs and it was, like all, Right Rice sell's

654
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: gonna do it. Again scored seven, runs which and then

655
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: and tell me this is not a microcosm of the.

656
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: Season in the bottom of the eighth in a tie baseball,

657
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: game The braves second and, third nobody, out no runs,

658
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: scored and in the ninth The dodgers had first and

659
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: second with two outs and they scored seven runs back.

660
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: To back to back. Homers was a nice cherry on

661
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: top of the night to make things kind of just

662
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: more laughable at the. End Sarah langs have a, stat

663
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: the Great Sarah lanx who The dodgers have not scored

664
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: so obviously it's a bit of a cherry, pickstat but

665
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: they hadn't scored seven runs with two outs and a

666
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: ninth inning Since night's ninety, six so, woo, yeah that's

667
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight years. Ago and uh look it was. BRUTAL

668
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: i don't think that this matters to me About. Iglesias

669
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: he was due for some, regression like no one can

670
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: really pitch at a level where again HIS ra was

671
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: one point one. Six as good as he, is he

672
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: has been a little bit FORTUNATE i think this year

673
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: to have AN ira that. Low maybe this is just

674
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: all the regression at. WANTS i don't care about. That

675
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: the game was really lost in the bottom of the

676
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Eighth i'll stand by. THAT i don't, know it is

677
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: what it is, like it's you could take both approaches,

678
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: here and we have on the show. Already it's one.

679
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Loss The braves are winning the series so, far it's

680
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: two to. One they're still in five. Position they're tied

681
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: with The. Mets like everything is not drastically barren right

682
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: now compared to a few days or weeks ago when

683
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: The braves were out of the, playoffs just even a

684
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: couple of days. Ago now they're. Tied all that. Stuff

685
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: or you can, say AS i think you alluded to

686
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: a few minutes, ago if The raids missed the playoffs

687
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: by a, game we are going to remember this. Game

688
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: we just. Are whether we should or. Not is they

689
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: all count the same in the. End but we will

690
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: have this one circled. MENTALLY i promise you we.

691
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: Will.

692
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh there's like a half dozen games THAT i

693
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: have circled mentally if the, season.

694
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: The Colorado sunday game as, well high on the.

695
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: List, yeah, yeah the two losses to The White, sox

696
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: the disaster class From Brian snitker in that game In

697
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: philadelphia which they. BLEW i, mean we don't need to

698
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: maybe maybe we will have to do a podcast at

699
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: some point of a post.

700
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: Mortem you know What i'm Gonna i'm gonna write that

701
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: down on my list of podcast, ideas and hopefully we'll

702
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: never use it BECAUSE i don't want to DO i

703
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. Show if they missed the,

704
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: playoffs we will probably have to do that show In

705
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: october at some.

706
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: Point, yeah let's tell it would be like an all

707
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: time hateless and where everybody could throw on like some

708
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: super heavy duty metal music in the back and just

709
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: and listen to that. Show but let's hope it doesn't

710
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 2: get to that. Point and what you just said a

711
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: moment ago is absolutely. Right as things, stand The braves

712
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: are still tied for the final wild card, spot and

713
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: if they can win On monday and bounce, back kind

714
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: of all will be, FORGOTTEN i, think or at least

715
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: it will be much, much much less painful than what

716
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: it is right, now because, again we don't we don't

717
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 2: want to sugarcoat. It this was a Terrible sunday night,

718
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: loss especially knowing that The mets had already.

719
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: Lost, yeah that was a tough scene for, sure and

720
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: we can live it there for, now just for the

721
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: sake of everyone's sanity here on A sunday, evening we

00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: to plan following an, examination and that's obviously the first,

741
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: step and then it's what is his, Strength like can

742
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 2: he pick up a, Bat can he swing a? Bat

Speaker 2: we are running out of daylight to Get austin. Back

746
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: but it does sound like if he gets a good

747
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: we'll call it medical clearance later this. Week it at

748
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: least gives him a, chance Because, austin as good as he,

749
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: is will need at least a few days of pretty

750
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 2: intense swinging the bat in simulations and batting practices whatever

751
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: they're going to. Do you, KNOW i don't know If

752
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 2: austin could go from zero to one, hundred and if

753
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 2: The braves make the playoffs where he could start game

754
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: one after not playing for six weeks in the, MAJORS

755
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: i don't, know it might come to.

756
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: That it will be very. Interesting, yeah, yeah one Stat

757
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: AND i don't mean to pick on. HIM i just

758
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: as you were, talking, UH i think we both appreciate

759
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: the contributions Of Geo rochella off the scrap. Heap he's

760
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: played good, defense he's done his. Job at the same,

761
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: Time Ji rochelle has a fifty NINE rc plus with The,

762
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: braves so anything From austin would be.

763
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 2: Nice, YEAH i, mean it feels like it's been a

764
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: little bit. BETTER i, KNOW i was surprised it was that.

765
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 2: LOW i looked it up to make sure and that

766
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: that's that that clues. Tonight that's that's one of those

767
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: live stats. Things but that is not good, Obviously and

768
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 2: an interesting puzzle piece here for The braves is if

769
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 2: they Feel Ozzie albies can come back and play right

770
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: handed only at this, point but we're gonna get our

771
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 2: scientific experiment wish.

772
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: HERE i was gonna, say we've Been we've been calling

773

778
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: GOING i, mean That's i'm kind of wondering out loud.

00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: NOW i will, Say brad he by the, Way, god

780
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: what a season this? Season you, Know but With Wit

781
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: mirrifield offensive, side the difference Between wit defensively And ozzie

782
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 2: defensively is like kind of.

783
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: Shocking it is quite. Big, yeah he as An aussie.

784
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: Truther i've always been An ozzy. Guy but, yeah his

785
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: defense has slipt quite a. Bit he's not pretty good,

786
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: defensively and what's been good like clearly a positive and,

787
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: uh you know the fracture, FOOT i poke fun of.

788
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: IT i don't think that he. IS i think he's

789
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: limited BECAUSE i MEAN i admire him for. Playing it's

790
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: admirable that he's, playing and he KNOW i had two

791
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: it's when he came. Back he still has a practoric

792
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: foot and it's not gonna heal in the next two.

793
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: Weeks so can you play third? Base? SURE i do think. That,

794
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: yeah if you told Me ozzie can play and they're

795
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: comfortable with him, PLAYING i think you have to Try

796
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: ozzie and win at third BECAUSE i think has just

797
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: hit so much better than our. Sell but maybe they

798
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: don't think we can play third. ANYMORE i don't. Know we'll,

799
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: see but's it's an.

800
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: Option, yeah it's, man it is pretty bleak that we

801
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: are having these conversations And, god who knows what's going

802
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: to happen over these last two. Weeks but, yes, nonetheless

803
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: we wanted to at least talk About Austin riley a

804
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: little bit BECAUSE i, mean, REALLY i don't know if

805
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 2: we have Said austin's name much over the last, month

806
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: because there's really been no boots on the ground reporting

807
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: in terms of his, recovery although we did get a

808
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: little kernel of something From buster only.

809
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: Tonight we did And Shasta, buster a former guest of this,

810
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: podcast hopefully to our future guest as. Well all, right

811
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: let's look ahead briefly before we got, here because we

812
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: were gonna go shorter than. Usual we didn't because that's

813
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: just what we. Do got. One this finale is a big,

814
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 1: one not only because of just the sheer impact of the.

815
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: GAME a couple of really really high profile pictures on the.

816
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: Mound On monday In Prime simeon In, atlanta It's Max

817
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: free Against. Yamamoto yamamoto was hurt for a, while but

818
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: is really. Good obviously a billion dollar not really billion,

819
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: dollar but one hundred plus million dollar arm this winter

820
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: for The. Dodgers and While max has not been bad,

821
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: BAD i think it's fair to say he has not

822
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: been himself since the injury, scare at least by the.

823
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: Numbers so it would be really nice to have a

824
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: Dominant max. Performance we haven't seen one of those in a.

825
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: While well in The braves are probably going to Need

826
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: max to be at his usual very good. Self yamamoto

827
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: was very, good although in an abbreviated start coming off the.

828
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: Il so you're going to figure that he's going to

829
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: be quite good once. Again chef to hope That max

830
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: is back to.

831
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: What he can do pre.

832
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 2: Injury and, Man monday's game feels really, important doesn't, It?

833
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: Brad it really? Does AND i believe you brought up sportsbooks.

834
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: EARLIER i just consulted the odds For monday late Night.

835
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: Sunday in a shocking term of, Events it's essentially a

836
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: total coin flip in the, market which makes. SENSE i

837
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: think that if you were pulling experts or sharp people

838
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: about baseball The dodgers are better than The brads right

839
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: now because of just, injuries all those, things and Yall

840
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: moto Versus. Freed maybe it's a coin, flip whatever you

841
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: want to. Say and the game is in A, landa

842
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: so that kind of balances a little. Bit but, yeah

843
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: it seems like a quid fool game anybody could. Win

844
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: WOULD i be more excited if it Was Max ThReD

845
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: against some guy WHO i didn't think was very. GOOD

846
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: i guess The brads have also floundered against the pretty

847
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: bad pitchers in recent, Weeks so maybe y'all knows what

848
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: they need to. See maybe they're they're geared up for

849
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: some high end pitching On. Monday, YEAH i was.

850
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: Gonna say he is No Austin gomber who just mowed

851
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 2: the team down a couple of weeks. AGO i, Mean

852
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 2: Walker bueler tonight was. AGAIN i know he's got more,

853
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: pedigree but he's been bad this. Year he looked good

854
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: for or most of the night, Tonight so, yeah big.

855
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: One they're obviously we're going to focus on that too.

856
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: Much people might be listening to this On, Monday monday

Speaker 1: Wednesday thursday In cincinnati and then they go To miami after.

861
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: That not a devastating schedule situation other than as far

862
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: As coo they're playing. Against but you noticed this as

863
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: tough travel spot and also road games are road. Games nothing's.

864
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: Easy, YEAH i, mean, LOOK i get that it's hard

865
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: to schedule one hundred and sixty two games for thirty,

866
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: teams but, MAN i mean The braves will Play monday

867
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: night at home and then get on an airplane and

868
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: fly To cincinnati for then three games without the benefit

869
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 2: of an off day in the third week Of. SEPTEMBER

870
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 2: i don't, KNOW i, mean how did that one? Happen

871
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: that kind of. Sucks you, know The reds are not.

872
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 2: Terrible they actually have a positive run differential on the,

873
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: season but they are below five. Hundred and The reds

874
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: are actually three to zero Against atlanta this. Season they

875
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 2: just completed a sweep kind of sneakily with that makeup

876
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: game last week In. Atlanta and then The braves go

877
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: To miami for three, games which should, keyword should be

878
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: an easy series where The braves win at least two

879
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: of those three, games if not try to be greedy

880
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: with the. Sweep But miami has played The braves, tough

881
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: and you can bet that they will be looking to

882
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 2: be the spoilers even if their season is.

883
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: Done With, yes it's done for quite a, while but

884
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: it's a division. Game you. Know these division games tend

885
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: to be a little bit thorny on, occasion even against bad,

886
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: teams especially we're talking about on the. Road i'm trying

887
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: to find the numbers actually for The, yeah The braves

888
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: are seven to three against The marlins this, year so

889
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: they've done their job Against. Miami that's good to. See

890
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: but they've been competitive games to your, point only like

891
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: a plus EIGHT i think Under Frenchial moost. Games so nothing. Crazy,

892
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah circolos will previe them and talk about them later

893
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: on this week and as always will have a jam

894
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,120

896
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: i get to midnight on this. Podcast we could have

897
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: probably aimed for that if we under different. Circumstances anything

898
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: that you want to get to that we have not

899
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: touched on. ALREADY i hope The braves, win.

900
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: That's well, said AND i HOPE i avoue, you AND

901
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 2: i hope The New York mets and The Arizona diamondbacks

902
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 2: and The San Diego padres. Lose how about that for

903
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: some hard hitting analysis to get us out of.

904
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: Here, yeah we won't have to go go off on,

905
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: this but it, was it is and was and will

906
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: always be strange to root for The phillies and that

907
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: have to happen this. WEEKEND i have no problem turning

908
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: turning that mechanism on my, brain but it was a

909
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Strange you'd be, like, hey Go phillies this.

910
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: Weekend it's just not not. Natural you don't want it

911
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: helps The atlanta. BRAINS i root for. It it's kind

912
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: of my. Mo sometimes it's gross to be like, rooting

913
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: like come ON Jt Real mudo get this, hit or

914
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: come On Bryce harper hit this home. Run but, hey

915
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: if it helps The braves get into the playoffs and

916
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: actually worth, noting The, braves or rather The mets and

917
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: The phillies play four more games next weekend In New,

918
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: York Go, philly be, yeah Go.

919
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: Phillies hopefully The phillies do not clinch like if they

920
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: want to clinch on Like sunday next, weekend that's. FINE

921
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: i mean The east is effectively. Over but, yes, MATHEMATICALLY

922
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 2: i think The phillies are still going to be playing

923
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: hard and with their, regulars and not only, that but

924
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: they're also playing for home field and the first round

925
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: by and all of. That so let's hope The phillies

926
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 2: continue to beat up on The, mets because that would

927
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: be a huge favor for this.

928
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: Team one more emphasis on how big these extra games

929
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: are for The. Braves The mets now play The nationals at,

930
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: home and while The nationals are not, awful that's Advantage

931
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: mets and The, diamondbacks who are the closest team above,

932
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: them is they're going To. Colorado, Now colorado's a difficult

933
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: place to, play but they're not a good baseball. Team

934
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: so The braves need to win some games this. WEEK

935
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,319
