1 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Hammer Territory Podcasts, 2 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Episode two four nine. I am your hosts, Brad Roland, 3 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: coming to you on a I guess it's checks notes 4 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: Thursday morning. As a broke this podcast on the East Coast, 5 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: I've joined my Scott Coleman. As always, Scott, it was 6 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: a long one, but the Braves won a weird game 7 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. 8 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: How are you hello, Brad? I'm doing better because the 9 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: Braves won a really fun game tonight. I mean, I 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 2: tell you what, man, we missed out on the opportunity 11 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: of a lifetime because if you would have put a 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: few dollars on the Braves winning when they were down 13 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: six to nothing after two innings with Carlos carrasco on 14 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: the mound, you could have gotten some pretty incredible odds. 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: Unfortunately I did not make that bet, so I have 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: to keep doing podcasts with you, my friend. But I mean, 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: what a weird ass game, long rain delay, massive inning. 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: The Braves scored a million runs, but they only had 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: hits from four players. It was just a weird game. 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: And then after all the offense early, there was like 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: not a peep after that. Just an unconventional night in 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: city field, and I mean, man alive. Are Mets fans 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: going through. 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: It right now? Yeah, we're not going to be doing 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: a ton of like full on game breakdowns for obvious 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: reasons with one of the Braves are. But this is 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: kind of a weird game. It was a rain delay game, 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: so it started late. It got weird in a hurry. 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: The Raves not won five of the last seven games 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: like they lost last night. Our our guys did a 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: show Sean and Steven talking about a thirteen to five 32 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: like kind of a bummer loss with Strider and all that. 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, and then they're does six nothing tonight. 34 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: It's like, well, here we go, Scott, what are we 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: gonna talk about? I don't mind saying let's pull the 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: curtain back. We talked about maybe recording during the game, 37 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: like it was when it was six nothing. We were 38 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: thinking about starting because it was already rady delayed. I 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: am kind of glad we didn't, although it would have 40 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: been funny had we been on the air as they 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: scored nine runs in an inning, because that would have 42 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: happened tonight. That's that's why the Braves. You missed this game. 43 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: The Braves again toss stuffing. They scored nine runs on 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: four hits in the fourth inning and that propelled them 45 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: to eleven runs and eight hits in the game, and 46 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: truly bizarre stuff. I mean, where do you want to 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: start on this game, because we should talk about it 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: in some depth, probably more depth we normally would right now, 49 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: anything you want to lead off? Is it Carlos carrasco 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: to wead. 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: Off the show? No, it is not. I mean, hey, Carlos, 52 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 2: he's doing his very best out there, but holy cow, 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: I mean that's just uh that that's just not gonna work. 54 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: But hey, isn't it kind of a sick and cruel 55 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: joke that after watching this Braves team for the better 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: part of the season be held up and kind of 57 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: kept in the race by a really solid pitching staff, 58 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: but the offense just could not score. It was We 59 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: talked about it seemingly every single episode of this podcast, 60 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: and then of course, as they lose Sale, they lose 61 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 2: schwallenbax mis Shover Lopez. The whole pitching staff is hurt. 62 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: The offense has been legitimately pretty good for a little 63 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: while now and continues to put up crooked numbers and 64 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 2: is bailing out the pitching staff. Of course, the Braves 65 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: are so far buried in the standings it doesn't matter. 66 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: But it just kind of feels like the cherry on 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: top of a weird baseball season that this lineup is 68 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: now legitimately figuring some things out. 69 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, we kind of for shouted that, I mean, even 70 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: talking about the season being functionally over and try not 71 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: to have everybody forget what happened, because we knew when 72 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: the pitching staff was became as battered as it was. 73 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: No Sale, much Swallenbach and a little bit you know, 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: no Holmes, all of that. It was like, all right, 75 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: from this point forward, the pitching staff is not good enough, 76 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: and we kind of understand that. But the season was 77 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of already over before that because of the not 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: doing its job, So you're right, it's it is funny. 79 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: The Braves are now averaging more than five runs per 80 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: game since the All Star Break. It's like, that's a 81 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: cruel and usual joke. They're leading the league and walks 82 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: by a ton like by like twenty five percent more 83 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: than the rest of the league since the All Star Break. 84 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: It's just all these numbers are crazy. But tonight was 85 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: kind of in that spirit. Honestly, they walked seven times, 86 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,119 Speaker 1: so you know, eleven runs and eight hits sounds weird, 87 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: but they walk seven times. The ending that did all 88 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: the damage we mentioned already, but nine rouns and four 89 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: four hits. It was five walks, a three run double 90 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: y profar, it was bass clearing a single by I 91 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: was doing its score run and then Michael Harris, they 92 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: love the basis again, Michael Harris, It's a Grand Slam, 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: just like a ridiculous ending and an example of what 94 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: the Braves were not doing forever this year, Like how 95 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: may times we made the same joke between us and 96 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: Steven and Sean about how the Braves get the least 97 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: out of every possible rally, and they have all year long. 98 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: This time they got the absolute most out of a 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: rally and a game that again doesn't matter except for 100 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: to tournament the Mets, which I'm certainly on board with, 101 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: certainly the Mets. I know you are. You already watched 102 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: the Frank video after the game that was I would love. 103 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: I wish we could live like tune in live to 104 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: Mets Radio like the call in shows tonight it what 105 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: is it just after midnight on the East Coast. I 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: mean you can imagine. I mean, what a horrible loss 107 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: for the Mets. And that feels good to say, Like, 108 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: I know, this year sucks in a million times out 109 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: of a million. We would trade places with the Mets 110 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: in the standings right now if we could, but it 111 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: just feels good to make their fans sweat. And clearly 112 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: the Braves wanted to win this game tonight, like during 113 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: that biginning, doug Out was going crazy, big time celebrations. 114 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: And I mean, let's talk about Michael Harris for a second. 115 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: If folks didn't hear the show, I guess two days 116 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: ago now on the feed a day ago now with 117 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: Steven and Sean had a really good conversation about Michael Harris, 118 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: and I thought Steven had a great kind of comparison 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 2: between Charlie Brown and getting the football pulled away from him, 120 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 2: and that's kind of what it feels like with Michael Harris, 121 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: because we have seen this player be so special, but 122 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: you don't know when that football is gonna get pulled. 123 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: And it was a perfect analogy for Michael Harris right now. 124 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: And man, I mean, he just keeps having big night 125 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: after big night. I pulled the numbers in the second 126 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: half of the season, Michael Harris is comfortably a top 127 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 2: six hitter in all of baseball. He had the Grand 128 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: Slam tonight that was absolutely launched. He's just he has 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: it all working right now. And that's why, even when 130 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: it was so dark maybe two months ago, this season 131 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: we have seen Mike be just such a special player. 132 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: And I think most of us, I'm sure there were 133 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: fans who had maybe given up on Michael a little bit, 134 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: but I think I can speak for this podcast that 135 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: even though it was really bad and every night we 136 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: were banging our heads against the wall, Michael Harris still 137 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: has too much talent to just completely fall apart and 138 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: figure this thing out. 139 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: Scott went to TV up because we are sponsors today 140 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: by pixixs half from Draft Kings, and all you have 141 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: to do is pick more or less on the staff 142 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: two more of your favorite players and you're in the 143 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: mix of cash prizes. And Michael Harris is our Draft 144 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Kings player spotlight for obvious reasons. Michael Harris has been 145 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: a star now for a month. I mean, it's crazy 146 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: to say you teed it up, but the numbers are 147 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: what they are. I mean even tonight you too, it's 148 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: at a home run. He has seven home runs, six doubles, 149 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: and three triples in twenty five games since the break, Like, 150 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: is that sustainable? Probably not, but I think we can 151 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: when we talked, We've talked about it many times, but 152 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: the adjustments he's made, he's ambushing the ball, hitting for 153 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: power in the way that he was not before entering today, 154 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: he had an ops of like ten sixty and I 155 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: think it's over eleven hundred now when you factor in 156 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: tonight's performances, it's something a monitor all year long, like, 157 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's one game tonight, but it was. 158 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: It has not been one game for him. He has 159 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: he has three walks. Three walks is better than zero walks. 160 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: But honestly, though he's striking out less, he's just attacking 161 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: the ball more and more often. And when you're slugging 162 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: like seven hundred for a month, you know, it covers 163 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: up a lot and Michael's baseline, as we've discussed many 164 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: times as well, when you defend like he does, if 165 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: you hit like this, like I mean, he really has 166 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: been like one of the ten best players in baseball 167 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: over the last four weeks. Like that's insane from where 168 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: he was as one of the worst hitters in baseball 169 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: most of the season, But like it does the reminders, 170 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: it's a reminder of his talent level, you know what 171 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Like the guys like this have had this 172 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: much talent, you can't it's hard to quit on. 173 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean that's why you can't quit on 174 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: a player like this, because there's only so many humans 175 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: on the planet who can play Gold Glove level defense, 176 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: legitimate Gold Glove level defense and also hit like this 177 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: for weeks at a time. And there's still some things 178 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: I think with Mike that I'm a little nervous about. 179 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: He's still i mean, the walks have gone up a smidge, 180 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: but he's still not getting on base at a super 181 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: high clip. But I mean that's never been his game. 182 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: I mean never. He has never been an on base guy. 183 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: He's never been a drawl out of walks guy. He 184 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 2: really gets there with contact and power, and if that's 185 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: who he is, he's obviously not gonna be Barry Bonds 186 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: for the rest of his career. But it's just it's 187 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: been so much fun to watch and it feels like 188 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 2: Mike has his swaggerback. He's playing loose. I mean, clearly 189 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 2: this was wang on him in the first half when 190 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: he was legitimately one of the worst players in the game. 191 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: He looks good, he looks like himself, and I mean, 192 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: man alive, Brad. I mean, this Braves team couldn't count 193 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: on Michael Harris moving forward. It was gonna get really 194 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: hard just to kind of get there. I'm like, how 195 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: is this team gonna win ninety plus games and contend 196 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: for a World Series? They already have other issues they 197 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: could not withstand to just completely lose Michael Harris, and 198 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 2: the last month sure makes it seem like they are 199 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 2: not going to have to deal with that, and they 200 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: have kind of gotten their five tool star in center 201 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 2: field back one more statum. 202 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: My and then we'll move on. But he went into 203 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: the All Star break with a forty seven WRC plus 204 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: for the season. Obviously, that's extremely bad, just saying that 205 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: out loud. He now, after tonight updated in real time, 206 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: has an eighty one WRC plus for the season. Now, 207 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: eighty one is not where anybody wants me to be. 208 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: But raising his WRC plus thirty four points from forty 209 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: seven to eighty one in again three and a half 210 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: four weeks this late in the year is kind of insane, 211 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: Like for a guy who's played basically every day the 212 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: whole season, like he's one of their highest guys in 213 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: games played and played, appearances, all those things, for him 214 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: to do that that is just it's a reminder of 215 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: how bad he was. It was also a reminder of 216 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: how truly like dominant he's now been four month and 217 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: wanted to spotlight him on this segment of the podcast. 218 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: With that said, Scott, I'm gonna leave it to you. 219 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw you the lob today and take a 220 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: look at some pick six options from our friends at DraftKings. 221 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: So I have I mean, I'm going to play the 222 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: hot player here, Brad. It makes a lot of sense 223 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: to ride this this streak from Michael Harris and also 224 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: Matt Olson, who has come to life the last couple 225 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: of games after a little bit of a slump. So 226 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: I went more than a hit and more than a 227 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: hit for Matt Olsen and Michael Harris. Why not you know, like, 228 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: if you had to bet on players just blindly in 229 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: this lineup right now to have good games, I'd go Harris. 230 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: I think I go Olson, and I go Drake Baldwin, 231 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: and that's a that's a trio that's really kind of 232 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: carrying this team offensively right now. 233 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: Bank on the young talent, and then you know Matt's 234 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: not young anymore, but Matt's been their best player this 235 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: year overall. So I am with you on all of that. 236 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: Down the DraftKings Pick six app right now and use 237 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: code foul.

I mean, we've kind of laughed 253 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: it off, but Carlos Carrasco is not very good. Three 254 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: starts for Carrasco with the Braves fifteen runs alot in 255 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: thirteen and two thirds innings. That's a microcosm of where 256 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: the rotation currently is. We will not rely re litigate 257 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: everything that Shawn and Stephen shared on was It Whatday? 258 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: It was? 259 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: A Tuesday Night show about the rotation, about Strider, all 260 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: of that, But if you go into like where the 261 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: team are, the team era is, and some of the 262 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: numbers since the All Star Break, as good as offense 263 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: has been, the picture staff has been the exact inverse 264 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: of that. And look, it's not a rocket science thing. 265 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: If you look at the names and the profiles of 266 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: who is pitching, particularly starting pitching for the Braves right now, 267 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: it is pretty dire. They entered today with the second 268 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: worst era in baseball, with the rotation ahead of only 269 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: the Rockies, who have the double whammy of being quite 270 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: bad and also playing course field. So the Braves have 271 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: been that bad in the rotation. It got worse tonight. 272 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: We don't have to talk about this, but I want 273 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: to always ask you takeaways. I mean, Spencer Strider stuff 274 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: you have, even the thirty second spiel on Spencer. I mean, again, 275 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: listen to the show for yesterday. But I feel like 276 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: people were asking us, like what we think, and I 277 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: feel like we I should at least ask you because 278 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: that was a big story this week, and I don't 279 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: want to bring the whole mood down, but it's a thing. 280 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: And also I think that at least I am, for one, 281 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm kind of optimistic. 282 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: Still, yeah, I think it's probably fair to say that 283 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: Spencer might be hitting a wall in this first season 284 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: back from elbow surgery. He has been really bad for 285 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: four starts now and just doesn't look as crisp and 286 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: as good as he looked even a month ago, where 287 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: he was just he looked like Spencer Strider. And I 288 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: think the fact now he's approaching one hundred innings. He 289 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: had the ramp up period, then he was shut down 290 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: with the hammy. Then he came back, he was kind 291 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: of okay, and then he was really good, and now 292 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: he's really bad. I do think, though, in my heart 293 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: of hearts, that with a normal off season and another 294 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: eight months removed from the elbow surgery, I have to 295 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: think Spencer Strider is going to be better than what 296 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: he has been especially lately. I don't know if he 297 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: still has best pitcher in baseball on a per innings basis, 298 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: which was arguably what he was in his absolute peak 299 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, but I do still think 300 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: he can be a good front end starting pitcher, a 301 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: really good number two, especially just he's such a maniac 302 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: man like, he is a master of his craft, and 303 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: I say maniac in the best way possible. You know 304 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: that Spencer is going to go into this offseason healthy 305 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: and really kind of study what worked and what didn't work, 306 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: presumably come back throwing harder next spring with an off 307 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: season and normal off season of strength conditioning. So I 308 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: do think Spencer's gonna be okay. I think it's very 309 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: normal and natural to be a little concerned right now 310 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: based on where he's at, But I just have to 311 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: think this guy is gonna figure it out eventually. 312 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, we share that opinion. I mean we're not getting 313 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: into all but the super duper advanced you know stuff 314 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: plus metrics, and I think that stuff's very useful, and 315 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: it also backs up the eye test on Spenser right now. 316 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: But the long and short of it essentially is that 317 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: his fastball, wants arguably the best in baseball for at 318 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: starting pitcher at least in the top five, is now 319 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: a below average pitch at this moment. And that is 320 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: a big, big, big, big change, and that is explains 321 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: what's going on to some degree. The slider still looks 322 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: good by the numbers, by some of the misbad stuffs 323 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: when you know he's getting whiffs on it, But the 324 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: fastball is where I'm kind of with you, like he's 325 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: gonna go into the LABIS winner, I think, and figure 326 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: out how to be a different picture. And I don't 327 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: mean that in a negative way. I might sound like 328 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: I do because I'm with you. I mean it's hard 329 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: to see him being a best pitching baseball level pitcher 330 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: with not being able to throw as hard as he 331 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: used to throw. Now it's not all about velocity, like 332 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: I think you'll find. I think you'll have to find 333 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: a different way to operate with his fastball. I think 334 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: he will. That's based on just logic with him, and 335 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: also like even it's easy to forget this, but go 336 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: back like two weeks, three weeks, there was like a 337 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: stretch of like two months where he was still pitching 338 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: at a really good level, like a low three z 339 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: R level, And that's probably more realistic than the guy 340 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: he was prior. And we won't do it tonight. But 341 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: there's the whole debate right now. I've seen it raging today. 342 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw this too during the rain delay, 343 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: especially if there's nothing else to talk about the strider 344 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: extension wars. Was that a mistake and look, it was aggressive, 345 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: it was pitching extensions happened less than position player extententions 346 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: for a reason. But I do think that he could 347 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: still be worth that contract. He's got to figure some 348 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: stuff out. But the maniac thing is a good way 349 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: to describe it. So like, if you want more on that, 350 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: listen to the gush from yesterday. But I wanted to 351 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: spoilt because it's a it's a big story. I mean, 352 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: he's unfortunately for the Braves, he's the only storry pitcher 353 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: right now that has that kind of juice to appeal 354 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: to people watching, and he isn't that guy right now, 355 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate for him. We'll see what it looks like 356 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: in a few days when he pushes again. 357 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: Yep. And you know, Striider makes twenty million dollars next year, 358 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: he makes twenty million dollars the year after that, and 359 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: he makes twenty two million dollars in twenty twenty eight, 360 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 2: all guaranteed. And that's the risk we talked about it. 361 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 2: Go find that episode. I think we can say that 362 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: we were okay with the extension when it went down 363 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. But I also know for a 364 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: fact that we were saying, hey, Pitch, your extensions are risky. 365 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 2: There's a reason you don't see a lot of them. 366 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: And to this point, Striider really has not made much money. 367 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: I think in total he's made like eight million dollars 368 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: or something like that. But when he said to make 369 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: sixty two million dollars the next three years, the Braves 370 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: obviously need him to be much better than what he 371 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: has been lately. 372 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: Yes, and I but I at the same time, I'd 373 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: also encourage people to look and see what twenty million 374 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: So that's a lot of money, and it is. But 375 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: if let's say, for instance, this winter, guys who would 376 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 1: command three years sixty two million. It's a good picture, 377 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: to be sure, but you don't have to be at 378 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: a capital aace to be worth twenty million dollars a year. 379 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: That's how much good pictures cost. 380 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: Our good friend Charlie Morton at age forty one. 381 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: A great example. 382 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 2: We need fifteen million dollars from the Baltimore Orioles last winter, 383 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: and that's a one year deal and compared to Strider, 384 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: but I mean, that's that is the going rate for 385 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: pictures in the year twenty twenty five. 386 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: If you are an established top three in rotation veteran 387 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: starting pitcher, you're getting paid fifteen to twenty million dollars 388 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: in freegency. So it's a lot of money. And I 389 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: don't I wonder if you gave Alex schrucierm right now 390 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: about that deal what he would say. But it doesn't 391 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: mean it's a disaster. So that's we're kind of in 392 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: the middle ground now where it could be it could 393 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: be bad. I mean, there's there's definitely a world in 394 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: which if he's this guy right he's right now, it's 395 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna look bad. If he's the guy he was from 396 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: June one to like late July. It's totally fine and 397 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: it'll be fine, so we'll see. 398 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 4: Hey, we love ripping slab packs on Arena Club. I 399 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: just ripped one in a Ruby pack. Those are fancy 400 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 4: schmancy kip and I pulled a matt Shaw twenty twenty 401 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 4: three Bowman Draft Aqua Lunar Crater refractor card and I 402 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 4: guess what. 403 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: Guess what? 404 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 4: I got a little offer. You get the instant offer 405 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 4: right away. Okay, so they're offering me one hundred and 406 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: twenty one bucks. Sell it back and then I can 407 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 4: get a new slab pack. What do I do? 408 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 5: I want to see this thing. Hold on, look at that. 409 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 5: That's a beautiful card. 410 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: You know what. 411 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 5: I think that's a safe bet. I think it's gonna 412 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 5: make you a little bit of money. I think the 413 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 5: more more big league time he gets, I'd almost take 414 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 5: the deal, though. I'm in it for the chase. I 415 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 5: like opening more packs. I think that one hundred and 416 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 5: twenty one can buy you a couple more slabs to open, 417 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 5: and I think you keep chasing until you get someone 418 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 5: you really like. But that's the best part about it 419 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 5: for me. 420 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: That's right. 421 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 4: You can sell it back one hundred and twenty one 422 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 4: bucks and then open up another slab pack. Use the 423 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: code foul to receive twenty percent off your first slab 424 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 4: pack or card purchase at arenaclub dot com slash. 425 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: Foul elsewhere on some other stuff takeaways from you know. 426 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: Recently we discuss the offense being better. It's been up 427 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: and down. Oh, a interesting topic that I have to 428 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: bring up, and only because it's going to be more 429 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: polarizing because this player has been really good lately, and 430 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: that's more Solo. Zuna, Marcelo Zuna has been great lately. 431 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: He's second to Michael Harris and all the offensive stats 432 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: says the All Star break, he's been really good. He 433 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: was good tonight as we're talking on Wednesday. At the 434 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: same time, marcel A Zuna has now sat only one 435 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: time in the last eight days, and the only time 436 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: he sat in the last eight days was half of 437 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: the doubleheader on Saturday against Miami. He is playing effectively 438 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: every single day right now. Drake Baldwin in that same 439 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: time has played a decent amount. He's played I think 440 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: six out of nine games, but he's sat three times. 441 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: And it's funny because we kind of predicted this if 442 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: Ozuna was good, it was gonna play, and that's exactly 443 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: what's happening. And Baldwin isn't sitting a ton. But for me, 444 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: it's it's an eyebrow raise. It's an alarm bell that 445 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: over an eight day period, Ozuna has played two more 446 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: games than Drake Baldwin. Even Thasuma be good, we're leading 447 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: with that. Ozun has been good. But when you look 448 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: at the actual context of the season and where they are, 449 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter that much. And I'm not saying you 450 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: don't play as it at all, but boy, I'm kind 451 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: of done with Dray Baldwin playing. Listen, Ozuna, it's only 452 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: by eight days. 453 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, we knew this was gonna happen. I mean the 454 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 2: night of the trade deadline. This was the whole point 455 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: with Ozuna was if he's hitting the baseball, Brian Snicker 456 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: is going to play his veterans. And we're not saying 457 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: that Baldwin needs to play every single inning of every 458 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: single game from here until September thirtieth, but it makes 459 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: no sense to not play him. The Rookie of the 460 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: Year thing We've talked about a million times. It is 461 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: very important to the Braves long term with the draft 462 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 2: next summer, that Baldwin Win's rookie of the year. It's uh, 463 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: but you know what, man, we can yell about it 464 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: until we're blue in the face and guess who's gonna 465 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 2: be in the lineup on Thursday, Marcelo Zuna and hopefully 466 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: Baldwin is catching and give Murphy a night off. But 467 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: moving forward, it should not be this heavy of a 468 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 2: lean towards Ozuna, and I have a feeling it probably 469 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 2: is going to be. 470 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, Murphy was good tonight. He's not 471 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: been great lately. He's sat more than Baldwin, so that's fine. 472 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: I certainly think Balwen should play more than Murphy right 473 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: now because of obvious reasons. I think Murphy should still play. 474 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: If it's me, I prefer Murphy to play over Ozuna, 475 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: because Murphy is going to be a long term part 476 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: of the team, probably in a way that Ozona it 477 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: probably won't be. But I'm also fine with when Baldwin's catching, 478 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: if you want to play Azuna. I'm not particularly bothered 479 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: by that. It's it's the nights when Ozuna is playing 480 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: DH and Baldwin is not playing that those are the 481 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: rights that we actually care about. 482 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: I have a pop quiz for you and everyone listening. 483 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: If Marcello Zuna has a really good final two months 484 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: of the season, uh oh, is there a world where 485 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: they bring him back on like a one year, twenty 486 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 2: million dollars deal for next season? So I I, of 487 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 2: course I don't know if I don't know if task 488 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 2: is the right word, but I monitor their YouTube comments 489 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 2: for us and also most of the social media comments. 490 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: There are already people talking about this. This is already happening. 491 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: People are already like, well, maybe they'll just bring up 492 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: Zona back. And for the record, we've never said that 493 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: it's possible that they would do you say, twenty million. 494 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: If they give him twenty million dollars, I'm gonna have 495 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: a heart attack on you. 496 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: It felt hot the moment I said, okay, one year, 497 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars to a Zuna. 498 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: Look, okay, I would not like that, and not because 499 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: Marcel is not necessarily worth that. This is probably a 500 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: different discussion for a nother day and more depth. But 501 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: it's the situation more than the player. Like if you 502 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: told me Marcel Zona is healthy, he might be worth 503 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: that much money, like we've seen him now be back 504 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: to kind of old Marcel the last few weeks. He's 505 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: still a good hitter when he's when he's right, obviously, 506 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: But when you have Ronin Akunya who might need a DH, 507 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: when you have Joyson Profar who might need a DH 508 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: for another reason, and then you have two catchers, it 509 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: would be a hard sell. I guess that they all 510 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: like every By the way, again, we said this mony times. 511 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: Everyone loves Oz in that clubhouse, like the Offield stuff happened. 512 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: We all know that. But in that clubhouse Marcel is 513 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: very well liked, and he has been a really good 514 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: hitter for most of the last two and a half seasons. 515 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: But boy, it is a really hard sell to pay. 516 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, this would be for any player 517 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: if they signed a D a similar DH to Marcel, 518 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: and gave that player any money next year, it would 519 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: be an ibor raise for me. Because of the situation. 520 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: It almost dictates that you have to trade somebody else. Yeah, like, 521 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how you can pay 522 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: Marcel eight figures, even if it's ten million, and keep 523 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: all four guys that just obviously Runnalds a different but 524 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: keep Murphy and Profar. Basically like having Murphy Profar and 525 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: Ozuna on the roster next year seems insane to me. 526 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny. Earlier on Wednesday, Jeff Passing 527 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: went on ESPN Radio in Atlanta, Your Guy, and was 528 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: was talking about just the weirdness of this Brave season 529 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: and like, what do you do Like it doesn't feel 530 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: like you can run it back next season. But if 531 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 2: you go through this lineup and this this team right 532 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: now on the offensive side, it's shortstop, which is obvious, 533 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 2: but we've seen for three years they haven't really been 534 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 2: able to add a shortstop or have been unwilling to 535 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 2: make the financial commitments at a shortstop. Will that be 536 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 2: different this offseason? I don't know. I guess second base 537 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: you could maybe upgrade, but trying to upgrade both second 538 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: and short good luck with a with an okay farm 539 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: system that you're gonna need. Good luck, And then you 540 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: know the catcher and the DH thing. So it is 541 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: an interesting conversation. I am not sitting here saying the 542 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 2: Braves need to bring back Ozuna because I agree with 543 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: everything you said about just how complex the roster becomes. 544 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: But it's gonna become a discussion. I think if Ozuna 545 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 2: is really good in August and September. 546 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean even the big numbers. Ozuna is currently 547 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: lead the teamn home runs this year. He has twenty 548 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: home runs. He has eight hundred roops this season, which 549 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: isn't incredible for a DH only player, but he's it's 550 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: a good hitter. I mean he had the time, he 551 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: had the time when he was not good. But yeah, 552 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: it's in a vacuum. He is worth that kind of 553 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: contract if he's healthy. 554 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 2: It's just the team. Another team might value that bat 555 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: more than the Braves do with their current situation. I'm 556 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: guessing if you put a gun in my head, I'd 557 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: say Ozuna is not back with the Braves next season, 558 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 2: but more so because another team is gonna say, hey, 559 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: we really want that bat because we have a zero 560 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: at DH. We want that bat in the middle of 561 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 2: our order more than the Braves probably do. Even if 562 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 2: the Braves still need offensive help they do. It's just 563 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: not in the form of a DH only player for me. 564 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 2: And it wouldn't matter if it was Marcel or any 565 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 2: DH only player. 566 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't think. Maybe if it's like Kyle Schwarber, who's 567 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: like an elite elite hitter. It's an easier it's an 568 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: easier sell. 569 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: I will personally fly to Atlanta and drive College Warber 570 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: around the city for a month if if they want 571 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: to make that deal happen. 572 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: But again I'll say, well, if they do that, orro Zuna, 573 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: I think it almost requires you to do something else, 574 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: like because I have a hard time with the DH 575 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: spot being at a written in Penn spot every night, 576 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: with the situation when you probably need Ryan to go there. 577 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: Sometimes pro Farce is a bad defender all this. Anyway, 578 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: That's that's for another discuy. 579 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: I like to sup you off off tangent here and 580 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: at twelve thirty three in the morning your time. 581 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: It is two thirty three am. That's okay, a few 582 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: more notes and we'll get out of here. Brus Nicker 583 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: unsurprisingly said he is planning to use a six men 584 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: rotation for as long as he can. The Braves have 585 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: not announced probables yet for the weekend. They'll probably do 586 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: that at some point on Thursday. It's Bryce Elder on 587 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: Thursday on the probable sheet and I haven't heard otherwise, 588 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: so I'm expecting him to be tomorrow or today as 589 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: we're recording this. But then it's if it's sim me 590 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: rotation that implies Hurst and Waldrop, who's still on the roster, 591 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: will get a start this weekend. What do you make 592 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: of that? I mean, Chris Sale, of course pitched in 593 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: Gwinette on Tuesday, mixed results, But he's Chris Sale. I'm 594 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: not worried about that. But six man until Sale gets 595 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: back six man for a while, Like, I'm fine. I 596 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: don't really care roster man agel wise. I just think 597 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: it was at least notable to bring him up. 598 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: You know, it makes sense get us to the finish line, Waldrip. 599 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 2: You want to keep him up. I would keep Waldrop 600 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 2: up as long as you can. Let him keep growing, 601 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 2: let him build off of this really strong start that 602 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: he's had. Even when Chris Sale comes back, you can 603 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 2: be sure they're gonna want to give Sale an extra 604 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 2: day of rest whenever he does pitch. Yes, and everybody else, 605 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 2: I mean, why not, you know, like, there's no need 606 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: to run a five man rotation here and really push people. 607 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: Sure why? I mean when he said it, it's like, okay, yeah, 608 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: that makes sense. Maybe an I'm guessing that Carlos Krosco 609 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: will be the odd man out when they bring sale 610 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: back because he's just but I mean, honestly, the Corosco 611 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: one was the one that always felt like we literally 612 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: need a live arm to beat four innings every five days. Yeah, 613 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: there's maybe a not twelve thirty am raucous discussion about 614 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 2: Bryce Elder versus Carlos Carrasco. We will not be having 615 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: that right now. But Carrasco, you know, at least if 616 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: you want to be charitable to Elder, I think he 617 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: might have a minor league option down the line. 618 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: Carrasco does not. Uh, And if you have to get 619 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: rid of somebody, it's probably gonna be him. So we 620 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: will see on that front. Sticker also said today, I 621 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: don't know this was talking about a little last night, but 622 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: fresh until Acunya could be ready soon, Like they've not 623 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: set a date, but it seems like he's gonna be 624 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: within the next couple days. It feels like Rian's gonna play. 625 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: And Austin Riley, on the other hand, has not wrapped 626 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: up yet. According to what stints that on Wednesday, he 627 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: quote still feels it end quotes that was a dob 628 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: tweet about the lower abdom Laura Adamin strain that he 629 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: has That's not great for Riley. Not surprising. He had 630 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: the same injury twice, and usually you want to be 631 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: even more careful the second time around. But seems like 632 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: Ronnie's close and Austin is not. 633 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm glad they're being smart with 634 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 2: these two. It felt like Acunya might be activated over 635 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: the weekend, and they've clearly given it at least a 636 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: few more days. Of course, you had a wet outfield tonight, 637 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: so I don't hate Acunya being on the bench instead 638 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: of running and chasing down baseballs in the gap. And 639 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: with Riley, I mean, it feels like labor day to 640 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: me is when we might see Riley again. It's it's 641 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: gonna be a while. It was a reaggravation of that 642 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 2: injury from before, and why push it, like, there's no 643 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 2: need to get this guy. If the Braves were a 644 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 2: game ahead on the Phillies in the East, sure, maybe 645 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: you really have Austin attack that rehab and recovery, but 646 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 2: there's just no need to be smart. Don't don't get 647 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: a serious core muscle injury here and make sure he 648 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 2: is one hundred and ten percent before you bring him back. 649 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: Strongly agree on that one more against the Mets. On Thursday, 650 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: as mentioned, it was it's Bryce Elder against CODEI senga. 651 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: Not ideal, but hey, the Braves one tonight with Carls 652 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: Carrasco and a six front deficit, so anything as possible, 653 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: Scott and also the green full circle. The New York 654 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: Mets have lost twelve of the last fourteen games and 655 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: I am enjoying that gravely. 656 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 2: So if the Mets lose this series at home to 657 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: the Braves with a struggling Spencer Schreider, a thirty seven 658 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 2: year old Carlos Carrasco and a six plus era for 659 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 2: two full seasons Bryce Elder, and they lose that series 660 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 2: at home, it is going to be cinema in New York. 661 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm a Siico, you're a Sico people 662 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: tuning into the show every night or Sickos. We love it, 663 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 2: We're here for it. Let's just frustrate the hell out 664 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 2: of the Mets and their fans for one more night 665 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 2: and just kind of you know, dig that, dig the 666 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: knife and twist it a little bit deeper, because I mean, 667 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 2: you're up six to nothing against Carlos Carrosco and you 668 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 2: lose a game at home. I mean, imagine if it 669 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: was the other way around. Imagine if the Braves were 670 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 2: in a tail spin and they have a thirty eight 671 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: year old journeyman on the ropes and they blow a 672 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: six run lead at home. I mean this podcast, man, 673 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: I mean, we might lose our family friendly rating because 674 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 2: some things would be said. 675 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: I know that much, is sure.
