Speaker 1: great start or great into your Wednesday, Thursday, good start

Speaker 1: to your Friday. And for the first time in the

6
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Hammer Territory era, I am very proud to be joined

7
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: by Scott Coleman. Scott, how are you doing, sir is Sean.

8
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: I'm great.

9
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: It is nice to do our official Hammer Territory Coleman

10
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: Squared podcast with each other. We of course did quite

11
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: a few of them back in the day on Battery Power.

12
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: But the Colemans are uniting are our good friends. Steven Tolbert,

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: I believe is catching some Braves baseball this weekend in Washington,

14
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: d C. So while I am returning the favor and

15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: filling in here on a Thursday night, but a really

16
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: nice win for the Braves. It was not really looking

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: that way early on, but a nice win. And as

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: Brad and I talked about the other night on the podcast,

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: it really just feels like this team needs to start

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: beating the bad teams if they're going to really make

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: a push this summer.

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and of course, for those who have listened in

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 1: over the past few weeks, Scott of course is making

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: his triumphant return from his travels in Europe. But Scott,

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: I have it on good authority that you actually have

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: been banned from the city of Rome for two reasons.

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Number One, you tried to start in the illegal whiffle

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: ball home run derby in the room in colin seeum.

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: And you also tried to do it with the corked bat.

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Can you confirm those rumors?

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: I cannot confirm nor deny there. I was sworn to secrecy,

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: but that does sound pretty cool. We did, for those

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: who don't know, I was in Italy with my wife

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks and we did check out

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: the coliseum. It was It was fascinating, especially for somebody

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 3: with an interest in history, and for any listeners who

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: have ever been on the fence about going overseas and

39
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: visiting Italy. I cannot recommend it enough. We had a

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: fantastic time. The food was unbelievable. It was just just

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: a great place and nice to get away for.

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks.

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and and of course you noted obviously you know this,

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: this podcast itself is you know, added Smith best was

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Scott here, and the reason why is because of his

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: great insights. I'm certainly glad he had a great trip

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: and glad to have him back. But Scott, let's dive

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: right into it. As you mentioned coming off, you know,

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: their first shutout in what one hundred and eighty two games?

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, the Braves come into a Thursday facing in

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: Mitchell Parker. I believe that's the picture day of Mitchell

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: Parker for the second time, second straight time, and the

53
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: man just looked like he was unhittable. With the Braves

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: lineup for the first five innings, Ronaldo Lopiz looked good

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: as well. And we'll start with Renaudo Lopez. We'll get

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: into the offense in just a bit, but Ronaldo Lopez

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: brad as bad as the Braves offense was. Ronaldo Lopez

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: was just as good. Is what really stands out. We'll

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: also get into this point in a bit. What really

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: stands out is Ronaldo Lopez had some good swing and

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: miss stuff, but just so efficient, consistently getting hitters and

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: pitchers counts, making good pitches, getting out of gyms. He

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: did run into a bit of trouble in the sixth inning,

64
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: but was able to work around the two extra singles

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: that he gave up. The efficiency once again was there,

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: able to complete six innings and keep the Braves in

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: it so they could eventually come back. Another great performance

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: from Ronaldo.

69
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're almost running out of good things to say

70
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: about lopezz because he's just been so efficient and so

71
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: good every single time he goes out there. You mentioned

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: the back to back home runs he gave up in

73
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: the sixth inning was really the only blemish of the

74
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: whole night, and it was almost I believe it was

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: five weeks since Ronaldo had last given up a home run,

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: and I mean just.

77
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: Speaks to what he's been able to do.

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: He had this wing and miss stuff working, not a

79
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: lot of hard contact other than a couple of home runs,

80
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: and even one of the home run pitches he gave

81
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: up wasn't even a bad pitch, just a good job

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: by CJ. Abrams to go up and get the ball.

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: Really just cannot be said enough just what Ronaldo has

84
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: meant to this rotation. He's very likely going to be

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: an All Star at this point unless he just completely

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: falls apart, which really there's nothing pointing towards that happening.

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: Very much a deserving candidate for an All Star spot

88
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: right now. And you think about what the Braves have

89
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: had to overcome this season to get to this point

90
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: about ten games above five hundred. A big old part

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: of that is what Ronaldo Lopez has been able to

92
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: do in the rotation.

93
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and it's great to see me. He's been so

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: good at home, but he's also been very good on

95
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: the road and that showed up again as well today.

96
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: But speaking of being on the road, you know, we

97
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: mentioned that our fellow co host, Stephen Tolbert, he's actually

98
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: on the road this weekend, going to be able to

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: enjoy the Braves and the Nationals. Also the Braves and

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: the Orioles and STI. I know that you like to

101
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: catch the Braves on the road as well, but I'll

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: tell you this, A great source to be able to

103
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: do that is Seat Geek. I think you can speak to,

104
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, having a one stop shop to be able

105
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: to go to when you're trying to find Braves tickets,

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: especially on the road, that's a great source to be

107
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: able to rely on.

108
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the coolest things is whenever

109
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: you turn on a Braves game or you're at the stadium.

110
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Just how many Braves fans travel with the team. You

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: could hear them on Thursday night cheering, especially as the

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: Braves had their rally laid. I'm always cool to be

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: surrounded by Braves fans.

147
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: we talk about how good Rinaldo Lopez has been, We

148
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: talk about how good Max s Freed has been, Chris

149
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Sail obviously, Charlie Morton at times as well. But what

150
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: really stands out to me Stephen mentioned this last week

151
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: when we were doing our one of our podcasts, he

152
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that the Braves have had the fourth fewest bullpen

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: innings this season. Now, a big reason for that is

154
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: the Braves. I still think I played the fewest game

155
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: ins in the Majors this season. But what stands out

156
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: is is that this Brave's bullpen has been able to

157
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: be used at a very, you know, less of a

158
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: rate than it has been in the past. Because our

159
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: starters are consistently going six to seven innings. But it's

160
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: not like our starters are racking up one and ten,

161
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pitches. The efficiency of our starters

162
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: is really standing out as a strength of this team.

163
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: Coming into tonight's game, the Braves were second in the

164
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Majors in terms of the total percentage of their pitches

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: that resulted in a non foul strike, a foul tip,

166
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: a college swinging strike, a block strike, what have you.

167
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: And they had the fourth lowest amount of their pitches

168
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: that resulted in a ball. The efficiency of this starting

169
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: rotation really stands out as a strength of this team,

170
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: and it's one that could really pay off as we

171
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: get closer to the playoffs.

172
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only going to help, and for a couple

173
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: of reasons. Of course, keeping these guys fresh is going

174
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: to be important, but especially the bullpen. I think we've

175
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: all seen by August and September some of those bullpen arms.

176
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: Whenever they're making their seventieth appearance of the season, it's

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: just natural to kind of wear down a bit. The

178
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: velocity starts to go, the command starts to go.

179
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: It's only going to help.

180
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: And we know that the margin for air has become

181
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: much smaller in the rotation, especially without Strider healthy. But

182
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: as long as Lopez and Sale and Morton and especially

183
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: Max Freed, I mean, whenever they work deep into those

184
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: games in the sixth and seventh inning, it just only

185
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: makes life easier. When we know this lineup is just

186
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 3: not producing on a consistent bait basically every night, the

187
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: Big four has given the Braves a chance to win

188
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: for really the entire season. It's just a matter of

189
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: hoping the offense helps him out at some point and

190
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: makes it quite not so reliant on needing a perfect

191
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: starting performance every night out of the rotation.

192
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely. And the other thing is Scott that I think

193
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: it helps out with is you know people are starting

194
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: to look at you know, hey, Chris Sale, Renaldo Lopez,

195
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: we're getting into, you know, two and a half months

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: of them being in the starting rotation. Of course, Renaldo Lopez,

197
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think tonight, you know, came close to

198
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: or exceeding his you know, innings amount that he pitched

199
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, over his pitch mornings this year than he

200
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: had either of the previous two years. Chris Sail with

201
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: his injury history. But the efficiency that they're pitching with,

202
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: even though they're racking up some innings, they're not throwing

203
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: a lot of hard or high stress strike. So even

204
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: in the Braves themselves, they don't really put a lot

205
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: of emphasis on innings counts. But the point that I'm

206
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: getting at is, even if the innings start to rack up,

207
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: and they'll continue to do so, the fact that that

208
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: efficiency will hope fully remain and they'll continue to throw

209
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: strikes that will allow for them to continue to be

210
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: productive for the Braves without it wearing on them and

211
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: hopefully keep them in line for the playoffs. Seeing Ronaldo

212
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,239
Speaker 1: in so, especially as their innings tracked up, their efficiency

213
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: is really going to pay off for them to remain

214
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: key parts of the rotation.

215
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm curious to see what, if anything, the

216
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: Braves do over the next couple of months to manage

217
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: their workloads. You mentioned that Ronaldo Lopez just surpassed or

218
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: is going to surpass his innings from the past couple

219
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: of years. This is a guy who has not been

220
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: a starter for five or six years, so he's probably

221
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 3: not going to be able to throw one hundred and

222
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: eighty innings this season. Maybe I guess it's not impossible,

223
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: but I think the Braves, even if they wouldn't say

224
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: it publicly, are at least starting to think about ways

225
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: to trim back his innings a little bit with the

226
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: hope of having Ronaldo healthy and efficient in September and

227
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: hopefully deep into October. And the same for Chris Sale.

228
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: And it'd be nearly impossible to start limiting Sale right

229
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: now because he's been quite literally one of the best

230
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: arms in all of baseball. But we know that Sales

231
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: also has a lengthy injury list at this point in

232
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: his career.

233
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: Probably Morton's forty years old, right.

234
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: See, you have to keep these guys healthy and fresh,

235
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: and I think it's really just going to be on

236
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: a week by week basis. But again, you just cannot

237
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: say enough good things about the rotation. It has been

238
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 3: so good really from opening day. It's a big reason

239
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: why the Braves, even with the offense being up and down,

240
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: they're still very much in it. And last I look,

241
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: I think they're six back of Philadelphia with a whole

242
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: bunch of baseball to go. Maybe it has not been

243
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: a perfect start for the team by any means, but

244
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: the rotation is such a big part of why the

245
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: Braves are in it.

246
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: So we know the rotation is why the Braves are

247
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: in it. The lineup, obviously is what has to improve

248
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: for them to be truly where they want to be.

249
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: And what stood out tonight Scott was yes, there was

250
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, obviously struggles for the first two thirds of

251
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: the game, but you know, some good injury news over

252
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: the past couple of days. Of course, Shawn Murphy on

253
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Tuesday night he had the elbow flare up, but he

254
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: was back in the lineup tonight. Jared Kellernick avoid a

255
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: major injury on Wednesday, he was out of the lineup,

256
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: but good news for him. But Brian Anderson got his

257
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: first start for the Brave, and though Brian Anderson didn't

258
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: really have much to say for his results two very

259
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: well hit balls in play. Orlando Arcia looked good at

260
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: the plate. I mentioned this because Scott, when it comes

261
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: to this Braves lineup being so good, you know, we

262
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: talk about it. It's because of the fact that they

263
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: usually have two or three MVP candidates Ronald Austin, Matt

264
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Olsen this year, Marcelo Zuna obviously, But the other big

265
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: key is because the when the bottom of their lineup

266
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: is producing near the top of the league, this Braves

267
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: team wins at like a seventy or seventy five percent clip.

268
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: It was especially with Ronald out, the bottom of this

269
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: order has to get going again. It was good to

270
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: see Orlando Arcia and Brian Anderson putting some good, good

271
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: at bats in play, and also the way that Jared

272
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Kellnick's get over the past ten or so games.

273
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the Brian Anderson for what it is.

274
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: I think you have to keep expectations in line. But

275
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: he's a player who at one point with Miami was

276
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: a really solid major league hitter, and hopefully he can

277
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: give the Braves a little something off the bench. It

278
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: does seem like Jared Kelnick avoided into serious injury with

279
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: that wrist that he rolled up on in Boston, but

280
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 3: tonight facing a left handed starter, it made sense to

281
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: be careful with Kelnick. Can have him sit. You mentioned

282
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: Orlando Arcia, who was in a pretty terrible slump. He

283
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: drove a ball well tonight, had a grandule double, had

284
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: the home run the other night as well, and you're

285
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: absolutely right. I think when the Braves were truly at

286
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: their very best last season, the bottom of the order

287
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: was feeding the top of the order, and it was

288
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: just this never ending bus saw. And so far this

289
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: year we just haven't ever really had that. I guess

290
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: the first couple of weeks during the season the Braves

291
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: had it all going top and bottom, But since then

292
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: it's been just a couple of players performing and everybody

293
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 3: else not really performing. Let's hope that as the bottom

294
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 3: in the lineup hopefully wakes up a bit, and then

295
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about Austin Riley here in a

296
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: moment and the rest of the top half of the

297
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: line I know it's only going to help if that

298
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 3: bottom half feeds the top, it's only going to help

299
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: the cause and hopefully get the Braves to be just

300
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 3: a little more consistent. On offense, because night in and

301
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: night out, you really just don't know what you're going

302
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 3: to get.

303
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely and that's where you want the consistency to come

304
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: from your best players. And Scott, I'll be honest with you,

305
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: I hope I don't come across as being dramatic when

306
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: I say this, but as good as our pitching can be,

307
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what really sets this

308
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: Braves team up for successes to offense. And so in

309
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: my opinion, the single biggest factor that's going to get

310
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: the Braves back to where they truly are in the

311
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: championship form that they want to be, even without Spencer Strider,

312
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: even without Ronald Acuna Junior, is seeing Austin Riley get going.

313
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: I think that besides Acunya, over the past several years,

314
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: Riley's just been that most consistent elite hitter. But he's

315
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: got to get going now. Are I talked with you know,

316
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: back a few weeks ago while you were on a vacation.

317
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: I talked with him and he said that Riley told

318
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: him right before he got hurt and was out for

319
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: two weeks that he felt he was right there, he

320
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: was almost there to where he was going to find

321
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: his groove, but then he got hurt and unfortunately he's

322
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: back down, you know, to where he's been, you know,

323
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: not performing to his usual level. But a couple of

324
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: factors really stand out to me, Scott when you look

325
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: at Austin Riley, you know, obviously he's not performing to

326
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: the level that you expect. What stands out to you

327
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: as a factor that may not be going in his

328
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: favor this year and it's not allowing for him to

329
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: produce the consistent elite results were used to.

330
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Austin Riley is a fascinating case. He

331
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: has seen a ton of fastballs this season, and as

332
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: a result, he's just been a little off honest timing.

333
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: And I really enjoy the interview you did with Buster

334
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: only a couple of weeks ago, and it seemed like

335
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: Austin was starting to figure it out. And then he

336
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: missed a full two weeks with the side issue. Of course,

337
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: never went on the injured list, but never never had

338
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: a rehab stint, never got a couple of games in

339
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: in the minor leagues, and now it feels like his

340
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: timing is just off ever so slightly, and as a result,

341
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: I think what's really plaguing Austin is his ground ball

342
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: rate is as high as it has ever been. After tonight,

343
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Austin's ground ball rate is forty four percent. For his career,

344
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: it's about thirty eight percent, so a six point jump

345
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: in ground ball rate. And we don't want Austin Riley

346
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: hitting the baseball on the ground. We want him elevating it.

347
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: We wanted him driving it, we want him hitting it

348
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: over the wall. And it's just uncharacteristic for him to

349
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: be hitting this many grounders. I think we've seen Austin

350
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 3: over the years just go on these stretches where he's

351
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: the best hitter on planet Earth for weeks at a time.

352
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: I think that's probably coming. It's very much within the

353
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: realm of outcomes. But right now, I think Austin just

354
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: has to get back to hopefully adjusting his mechanics a

355
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: little bit and get back to elevating the ball, because

356
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: that's going to make him successful.

357
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: The story with Riley coming into the majors and what

358
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: allowed for him to make the adjustment that we saw

359
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: him make in early twenty twenty two when he believed

360
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: it was twenty twenty two, it may have been twenty

361
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: one when he really elevated himself to be one of

362
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: the best hitters in baseball. The thing that was always

363
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: out there about Riley woods would he be able to

364
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: handle elite velocity? And I do think that the league

365
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: is trying to adjust to where they want him to

366
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: see velocity more. For instance, fifty five percent of the

367
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: total pitches that Riley has seen this season have been fastballs.

368
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: The average velocity on those fastballs is ninety four and

369
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: a half miles per hour, the fastest that we've seen it.

370
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: But this isn't that different from last year when over

371
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: half the pitches that Riley saw were fastballs. But what

372
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: really stands out also Scott is that he's been a

373
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: bit unlucky. For instance, he has a one ninety slugging

374
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: percentage on forcing fastballs so far this season. His expected

375
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: slugging is four thirty. So the thing that I'm getting

376
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: at is is that there's been a bit of bad luck. Now,

377
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with its easier

378
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: to have bad luck if you put the ball on

379
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: the ground versus in the air. But he is getting

380
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: that velocity going. His barrel percentage is a little down,

381
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: his hard hit percentage is the highest that it's been

382
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: so overall, it's not like there's a significant drop in

383
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: the underlying metrics. There's been a little bit of bad luck.

384
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: But if Riley can figure out either how to when

385
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: Riley goes good, he's driving that ball to writ center field,

386
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: which is a good way for him to adjust when

387
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: he's seeing a lot of fastballs. If he can get

388
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 1: back to doing that, I think that could be an

389
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: adjustment that could really start to open up to him

390
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: getting the results.

391
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: He's seeking well.

392
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: And I think it's a similar tale to what Matt

393
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: Olson was dealing with a couple of weeks ago.

394
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: Matt continue to be near.

395
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 3: The top of all of baseball and exit velocity and

396
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: hard hit rate, but he didn't really have a whole

397
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 3: lot to show for it. And over the past three weeks,

398
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: Matt Olsen has been very much Matt Olsen that we

399
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: have come to love and adore so much at the

400
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 3: plate because the results have been much more like last

401
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: season than the funk.

402
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: That he was in earlier this year.

403
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 3: Thing for Riley, you just have to hope that it

404
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: balances out. Nobody wants to hear in the middle of

405
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 3: a slump or a downturn. Oh it's just bad luck,

406
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 3: or oh, you know, it's baseball. It's frustrating because everybody

407
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: wants results, and I'm sure nobody more than Austin is

408
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 3: ready to get out of this funk. But there are,

409
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 3: as you just outlined a lot of reasons for optimism

410
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 3: for him. And sure, maybe it's not been the best

411
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: start to the year and the injury did not help.

412
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: It just feels like it's a matter of time and

413
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: hopefully Austin continues to get his timing down because when

414
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: he's right, he can turn around anybody's fastball. It just

415
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: hasn't been that way so far in the first quarter

416
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 3: or I guess first third of the season now, which

417
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 3: is pretty crazy to say that we're like sixty games

418
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 3: into the season.

419
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, at the end of the day, a lot

420
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: of what Austin is doing should lead to better results,

421
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: but a few adjustments may be right to make for

422
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: him to get the better results that he's seeking. Well,

423
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: one adjustment I can tell you that you can make

424
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: to your day if you're seeking better nutrition is a

425
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: great one stop shop when it comes to the nutrition

426
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,880

00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: So Scott, I know that you and Brad y'all did

449
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: a great rundown of recent Braves news over the past

450
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: week that has occurred, some signings, dealing with some injuries,

451
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: what have you. There really wasn't any notable news on

452
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: Thursday for the Braves. But what was notable and what

453
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: I think is a great development. What I think is

454
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: a needed vote of confidence and a young pitcher who

455
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: I think has very good stuff, Spencer Swellenbach. He struggled

456
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon. Some of it

457
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: was was a bit of bad luck of others were,

458
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, him trying to figure out how to get

459
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: guys out on that strikeout pitch or that put out pitch.

460
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: But he seems he's going to get another opportunity in

461
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: the rotation now. Who's going to be facing is going

462
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: to be a tough task. But I am glad that

463
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: the Braves have seemed like what they've seen so far

464
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: from him, and he's going to get another shot at

465
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: it come next week.

466
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

467
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: I think with Schwellenbach the stuff is good enough.

468
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: For the major leagues now.

469
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: He very clearly is still learning how to attack big

470
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: league hitters, which is about as difficult as it gets. Right,

471
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 3: He's got to learn how to attack when he's the

472
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 3: head in the count, how to attack when he's behind

473
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: in the count. And you mentioned he's going to face

474
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Orioles in Camden next Tuesday night. It's about

475
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 3: as difficult of a road start as you're going to

476
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: make this season outside of maybe New York or Los Angeles.

477
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: So another tough start on the horizon for Schwellenbach. But

478
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: at this point, I think his stuff gives him a

479
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: chance to be successful in the majors as a fifth starter.

480
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: I think you take him other options that are in

481
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: gwinnet and all lies on Schwellenbach because again we know

482
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 3: how good the top four in this rotation of ben

483
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: If he can just give them something in that fifth spot,

484
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 3: I think you take it all day and at least

485
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: you run with it until July when you could potentially

486
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: add somebody at the trade deadline.

487
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: Scott. Let's look a bit also at the fact that

488
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: there were starting to see some of these mid season

489
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: prospect lists get updated. You know, Hurston Waldrip is getting

490
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: a bit of a knock, a bit of a you know,

491
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: kickup in some of these lists. He was recently in

492
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: Keith Law's top fifty, had a very good debut at

493
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: Triple A A. J. Smith Shobber, he had a great

494
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: debut for him in the major leagues, but unfortunately he's

495
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: on the shelf with that oblique injury for you know,

496
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: probably another month plus. Obviously, Spencer Schwellenbach is starting to

497
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: show in these lists. Owen Murphy arguably had the best

498
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: start to any pitching prospect in the Braves you know system,

499
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: but unfortunately he had Tommy John surgery. I mentioned these names.

500
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: I know there's been some injuries, but when we look

501
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: at the fact that after this season, the Braves are

502
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: likely really going to have to rely on the young

503
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: depth in their system to fill in the rotation, especially

504
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: with Spencer Schroder coming back from injury. Are you at

505
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: a better place with how the faith you have in

506
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: these you know, internal young pitchers filling out the rotation

507
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: for the future than you were at the start of

508
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: the season.

509
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: You know, it's encouraging to see the strides that a

510
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 3: handful of them have made in the first two months

511
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: of the season. I think anytime you're talking about young

512
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: starting pitching, I'm kind of the mindset that I'll believe

513
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 3: it when they can do it.

514
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: Consistently.

515
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: It's so difficult to be a young starting pitcher in

516
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball and pitch effectively one of the most

517
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: difficult things in all of professional sports. But I think

518
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: you have to be encouraged by Hurston Waltrip, who got

519
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 3: off to a bit of a slow start and then

520
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: has been terrific ever since, getting a ton of swing

521
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: and miss with that splitter. I just, of course made

522
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: his debut in Gwinnett the other day. You mentioned Smith Shaver,

523
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: who has big time stuff, really just a bummer that

524
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 3: he has the oblique injury. So I was pretty encouraged

525
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 3: by what he showed in Wrigley Field that afternoon. And

526
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: then for Murphy the Tommy John is such a bummer.

527
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 3: It feels like every other pitcher in Major League Baseball

528
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: right now has an elbow.

529
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: Problem, which really sucks.

530
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: But you know, at the same time, there is some

531
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: depth here, There's some some real talent, especially in the

532
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 3: upper levels of the miners. And you're right, I mean,

533
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: who knows what the future holds, how Spencer Strider is

534
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: going to recover, what Max Freed's future holds, what Charlie

535
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: Morton does next season at age forty one, There are

536
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 3: a ton of questions, of course for another day, but

537
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: it is I guess, a little reassuring to know that

538
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: you do have a couple of in house candidates who

539
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: could be options for you moving forward, because it is

540
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: very difficult to acquire good starting pitching, especially with so

541
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: many injuries across the league.

542
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: Fellow Hammer Territory podcast. Remember Stephen Tolbert again, as we mentioned,

543
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: is it will be on vacation, you know, watching the

544
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: Braves as they're you know, touring the Northeast. He wrote

545
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: a great piece over at Battery power dot com talking about,

546
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Braves approach at the trade deadline and

547
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: what does it look like for Alexanthoppolis And you're right, Scott,

548
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: you know starting pitching. Buster only mentioned it. Steven mentioned it.

549
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: The price for starting pitching is just so hard to

550
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: pay at times. That's why Alex and thopa it really

551
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: hasn't made a big move for a starting pitcher at

552
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: the deadline since twenty eighteen when he caught Kevin Cousman.

553
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: But I think that there are a few ways in

554
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: which Alex and thoughtless typically does try to find things.

555
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: He tries to find good relievers and make him better

556
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: once they get to Atlanta. Tries to do the same

557
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: thing for hitters, but you had an observation when it

558
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: came to those who you know, hey, maybe Alex can

559
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: make a good move, you know right now, maybe he

560
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: can strike before other teams do to get something done.

561
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: But there's an important factor still in play here that

562
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: makes that hard to really identify where you can find

563
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: that player, right, as you alluded to before the podcast.

564
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be a fascinating next two months

565
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: before the trade deadline because if you code to the

566
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: MLB standings right now, like all but two teams in

567
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 3: the National League are within three and a half games

568
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: of a playoff spot. And I know it's June sixth,

569
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: it's very early. No one's actually looking at the playoffs

570
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 3: standings right now, But what I'm trying to make is

571
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: there's just not going to be an of sellers at

572
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: the deadline, especially with the expanded playoffs and having those

573
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: three wild card teams. And it's a similar story in

574
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: the American League. And of course there were a couple

575
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 3: of really bad teams this year, but they don't have

576
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: a whole lot to trade, right They don't have a

577
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: lot of move the needle type pitchers. They're going to

578
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: be available, and whenever you're bidding against a dozen other

579
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: teams at the trade deadline, it's going to be tough

580
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 3: for the Braves to get something done. Of course, we

581
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: have a long way to go. I would imagine the Braves'

582
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: needs and priorities will shift from early June to late July.

583
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: But it's going to be a fascinating trade deadline because

584
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: teams know all you have to do is get into

585
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: the dance. I mean, of course, the Braves in twenty

586
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: twenty one a prime example a team that struggled the

587
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: times during the regular season and then got very hot

588
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: for a month and won the World Series. Last year,

589
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks, team that just crept into the playoffs ended

590
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 3: up making it all the way to the World Series.

591
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 3: Diamondbacks could have very easily sold at the deadline last year,

592
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: and sure fans wouldn't have been thrilled, but they wouldn't

593
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: have gotten crushed for it. It was a team that

594
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: was kind of hanging around five hundred, they had had

595
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: some struggles lately, and they opted to go for it.

596
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: It's really going to be interesting to see how many

597
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: teams actually end up selling in what kind of a

598
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 3: seller's market there is, because I would have a hard

599
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 3: time believing it's going to be a buyer's market with

600
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: so many teams in contention.

601
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: But the big key for the Braves, Scott, more than

602
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: anything of how they can improve the team, will the

603
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: offense come around, how reliable will the pitching be, is

604
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: that the Braves just need to do need to get

605
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: back to doing this year what they were so good

606
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: doing the previous two years. That's beating teams that they

607
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: should be. You said it perfectly on last night and

608
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: yes on the Wednesday version of the Hammer Territory podcast.

609
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: The Braves have had a very good setup here over

610
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: the past few weeks and they haven't taken advantage of it.

611
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: They were four and six against the Pirates, the Nationals

612
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: and the A's you know, before this week. So they

613
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: got to take advantage of the next three days, especially

614
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: with the Orioles on deck next week. You've got Chrish

615
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: going on Friday, You've got Charlie Morton going on Saturday,

616
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: and you've got Max Frey going on Sunday. The Braves

617
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: need to win at least two of those three games.

618
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: It would be great if they can win all three

619
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: with the offense continuing to come alive, but it's a

620
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: really good setup for him. This weekend, they need to

621
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: take advantage of getting a three out of four or

622
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: a series sweep against the Nationals.

623
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I said as much on the show

624
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: last night. And you never want to predict things in

625
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: baseball because it's a funny game. But it does feel

626
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: like an important weekend for the Braves to figure some

627
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: things out. And they got off to a nice win tonight.

628
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 3: Maybe not the prettiest of wins, especially early, but a

629
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: nice win on Thursday nonetheless. And then you mentioned the

630
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Big Three is lined up this weekend in DC, because

631
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: the schedule does get much more difficult. You have the

632
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: Baltimore Orioles coming up, You have the New York Yankees

633
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: coming up, the Tampa Bay Rays, even the Detroit Tigers

634
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: and the Pittsburgh Pirates on the horizon, who are not

635
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: bad teams this year. So there's no break in the

636
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 3: schedule coming up, especially some of the best teams in

637
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: the American League.

638
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: So you're right.

639
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: Again, you don't want to overstate the importance of a series.

640
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: On June seventh, eighth, and ninth, here, but a chance

641
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: for the Braves to kind of get this road trip

642
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: going in the right direction because it's going to be

643
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: what ten games in eleven days. I believe it's an

644
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 3: important trip for the Braves, and let's hope that tonight

645
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: kind of propels them into a couple more wins this weekend.

646
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and of course we will have you covered with

647

653

Speaker 3: great article on Battery Power the other day about the

659
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: Braves and looking ahead to the trade deadline, which I

660
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: would point people towards a good look at what Alexanthopolis

661
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: has done historically and what it might mean moving forward.

662
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,960
