Agree and of course we'll have some more 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: podcast business later on the. Podcast but let's dig in, 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: Here scott to some baseball, action AND i think kind 65 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: of we're not there. Yet it's, interesting like it's a look, 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: ahead but it was announced over the weekend That Specier 67 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: strider is going to pitch in a spring game On, 68 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: Monday so recording this Podcast sunday, evening that game is 69 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna Happen monday, Afternoon so if you've missed it until, 70 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: then he would have already. Happened but it's still the 71 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: lead story even though it's ahead of. Time he has 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: not pitched in a professional setting in eleven and a half, 73 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: months basically since he had the elbow issue a year. 74 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: Ago he seems to be on schedule by all. Accounts 75 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: this is a good kind of stepping stone beyond, that 76 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: and obviously he's done some pretty visible pitching bullpen sessions 77 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: in front of the, media like there's been video circulating 78 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: From northport from The beat, guys From Justin, grant et. 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: Cetera but this is something. Different this is pitching in 80 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: a game to real hitters and a not so friendly, 81 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: Environment AND i, mean what do you make of? This 82 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: it seems like a good sign that he's getting closer 83 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: to coming. 84 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: Back really good sign because at the start of spring 85 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: training there was a little bit of question over whether 86 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: or Not strider was going to get into a spring, 87 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: game AND i think The braves have eight or nine 88 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: spring games, left so there's a. 89 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Real chance That schrider could pitch in two, games not just, 90 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: one but. Two we'll. 91 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: See it would probably have to come next week out In, arizona. 92 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: WHICH i would assume they'd be fine. With maybe. 93 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: Not they might Keep spencer down In. Florida we will 94 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: see what the plan. Is but in terms Of, monday 95 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: you just hope that he looks, good that the velocity is, 96 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: strong he has, command and just like all of his 97 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: peers made starts a couple of weeks, Ago strider is 98 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: very likely just gonna throw an inning or. Two i'm 99 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: guessing The braves have a very hard limit on how 100 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: many pitches he's gonna. THROW i, mean it might genuinely Be, 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: Spencer you're throwing twenty, pitches and if you have AN 102 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: o two count against a, Hitter Brian snicker is gonna 103 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: walk out there and he's gonna take the ball and 104 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: say get him in five. 105 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: Days. 106 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: Kid obviously The braves need to be caut and careful With, 107 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: spencer but it's going to be so good to have 108 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: him out, there and by everyone's, account down In, florida 109 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: he is look good and his, bullpens AND i think 110 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: we're just going to be thrilled to see that guy 111 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: back on the. Mound, Absolutely and it seems like by 112 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: all accounts people that are plugged in around the, Team, Bowman, 113 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: tuscano et, cetera like it seems like mid april's on 114 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: the table. Now perhaps if this goes, well you, know 115 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 2: that's no setbacks all the way through from. 116 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: Now until he's on the team. Again but it's not 117 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: like he's gonna be just FOR i guess somebody thought 118 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: it was just. Different he's not gonna be on the 119 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: opening day. Roster they said that very very. Clearly he 120 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: won't be. Ready there's no illusions of. That but Mid 121 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: april would be a heck of a return time for 122 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: a special. Strider that's you, know you're only missing a 123 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of action if that's the. Case BUT 124 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: i agree with, you they're going to be. Cautious they've said. 125 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: That they said that on the, record fading back to 126 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: the to the winter, like they're not going to rush, 127 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: him nor should. They they do have some. Depth it's 128 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: not the best depth in the, world, probably but they 129 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: have some. Depth talked about a lot recent we're not 130 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Gonna by the, way this will not be Another In 131 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: anderson discussion on today's. Podcast that'll be more later. On 132 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: it's already happen a few. Times But Grant, holmes et. 133 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: Cetera the big thing Is strider is on, track and 134 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: whether it's Mid april or Late, april we'll. See but you, 135 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: know just hold on. Tight i'll Be certainly there's more 136 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: intrigue On monday than there would be normally On, Monday march. 137 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Seventeenth it's believe it's a one oh Five eastern time, 138 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: game so some baseball in the morning For Scott well 139 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: ten am baseball out there In. Arizona, yeah with, That, 140 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: yeah that's the reason to watch tomorrow for. Sure for, 141 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: sure especially. 142 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: All eyes Zone, strider all eyes on the radar. Gun 143 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: not that we're necessarily Expecting strider to go out there 144 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: and pump one oh one on the first, fastball but 145 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: see what the velocity looks, like see what the break 146 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: on his slider looks. Like he of, course was working 147 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: in some new pitches the last time we Saw strider 148 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: on the, mound which was so. EXCITING a, curveball maybe 149 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: more of a change. Up so we'll see what kind 150 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: of shape and movement he has on those pitches And 151 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: brad it's probably worth saying that as we think about 152 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: a timeline For, strider one thing The braves are probably 153 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: thinking about is obviously they want to get their ace 154 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: or one of their aces on the mound as soon 155 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: as they. Can, however they're going to one be extremely 156 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: careful with his, recovery and two they probably want to 157 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: Limit spencer's innings at least a little bit in this 158 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: first year. Back you also have to think big picture 159 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: about the playoffs and, if and this is a big, 160 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: if because The National league is incredibly top heavy and 161 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: probably one good team is going to get squeezed out 162 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: of the. Postseason but if and when The braves make the, 163 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 2: playoffs they obviously improve their chances significantly if they have 164 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: a healthy and Firing Spencer. Strider AND i don't know 165 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: if The braves necessarily Want strider to throw two hundred 166 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: plus innings this year between regular season and, postseason so 167 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 2: they might slow play him just still a little bit In, 168 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: april even if it's, frustrating even if it means they 169 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: got to go To Bryce elder for a. Spot start 170 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: to push everybody back and hit an off day on 171 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: the right day or whatever it needs to. Be BUT 172 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: i do think The braves are gonna be, really really 173 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: cognizant Of strider's, timeline not only for the short term 174 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: with its, health but also the long term picture of 175 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: hopefully having him firing In, August. 176 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: September in deep Into. OCTOBER i tend to. Agree AND 177 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: i also think, that you, know just for people don't 178 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: really realizing, this it takes longer than people realize to 179 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: get a guy ready to pitch in the major. Leagues 180 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: like he's gonna probably throw five times in a real 181 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: setting before he's ready to. Go like even now we're 182 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: finally seeing guys stretch out to where like we're almost, 183 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: there Like Grand holmes through what five innings this weekend 184 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: in and, Outing but until, then like that's you, know 185 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: you're you're going to an, inning you're going two. Ending 186 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: it's like it takes a little bit of, time especially 187 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: when you have a guy has a pitch in a, 188 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: year and especially so. Competitive i'm sure he wants to 189 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: go right, now and The braves are having to hold 190 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: him back with both. Arms you. Know it's one of 191 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: those things where that's part of the fun of, this 192 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: or maybe they're not so fun of this if You're, 193 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: spencer but, NO i totally. Agree there might be some 194 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: there might be some pain early, on like it's, Possible 195 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: BUT i think what AND i think what people don't 196 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: always love about The, braves including this, winter like we 197 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: haven't always loved. It they Are alex is pretty, methodical 198 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: and he and his imprints on the. Organization so for, 199 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: ME i like that. Approach you want to be measured 200 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: and think About, september In october and, beyond especially signed 201 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: for a long. Time he's still very. Young he's had 202 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: some repeated elbow issues, now like having a little bit 203 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: of extra care with him even if you don't have 204 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: a good, start makes total. Sense and hopefully this clip 205 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: will not have to be played again in Early april 206 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: when The braves are. Struggling we don't want that to. 207 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: Happen BUT i think The braves will probably not. Panic in, 208 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Fact i'm confident they won't panic and throw out their 209 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: Two that would be which gives me not if a 210 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: reisation would be that, WAY i would feel worse about 211 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: some organizations THAN i would about The. Braves but they're 212 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: they're not gonna do. It so it's, like all, right 213 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: when he's, ready he's, ready but it might be a 214 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: little bit longer than we all want to. 215 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: Be and until that time, COMES i, MEAN i think 216 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: you have to feel pretty good about this rotation even 217 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: Without Spencer. Strider Chris sale has continued to look. Awesome 218 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: Spencer schwalenbach has been awesome this. Spring Ronaldo lopez has 219 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: been a little slow coming out of the, gate But 220 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: i'm confident that when all those gonna be good to 221 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: go whenever the season. Begins Grant holmes has had a nice. 222 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: SPRING A. 223 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: J Smith, shaver who we're gonna talk about in a 224 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: little bit on the. Podcast Smith shaver was nasty over the, 225 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: weekend eight strikeouts over four, innings was, electric hitting the 226 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: ninety nine and one hundred on the radar. Gun and 227 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 2: Then Ian, anderson who we promised we won't talk. About 228 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: if that's a five or six man, rotation that's totally, good, 229 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: Right like maybe it's you can't wait to Get strider, 230 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: Back but The braves are going to be fine in 231 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: the early going as long as their big three in 232 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: particular stay. Healthy and then you talk about Adding strider 233 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: to that, mix and it could be a really fun 234 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: summer out of the rotation for The braves And god 235 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: willing the offense is going to be good. 236 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: Too we were on the same page. THERE i think 237 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: that's probably fair to say that's still the lead story 238 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: until he pitches On.

IT i Know 299 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: Sean stephen had to the kind of slow. Drip seems 300 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: like there's like no rhyme or reasons sometimes for when 301 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: they when they announced cuts and who they cut and. 302 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: Whatever but now it's starting to get to be crunch, 303 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: time of, course with baseball ten days, away and, uh 304 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: it was in two different waves On, sunday but the 305 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: following players were set to minor league. Camp Buck, farmer 306 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: j Dmon Kirkus, Alley Jake, Morisnik Garrett, cooper And Connor 307 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: caple all to minor league. Camp and that leaves the 308 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: breas with thirty seven players in. Camp obviously you can't 309 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: take thirty, seven so they got more to. Do but, 310 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: uh probably THE i don't know any of them were terribly. 311 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: Surprising the biggest, surprise at least to me Was Buck, 312 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: farmer not that he wouldn't make the, team but that 313 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: he didn't make the team ten days. EARLY i thought 314 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: he might be like the last cut if he didn't 315 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: make the, team and it doesn't seem like he's that 316 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: was the. Case you, Know deepmen And farmer are both. 317 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Veterans was a lefty And deepman was a righting farmer 318 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: that were, contenders but they're also at minor league, contracts 319 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: and when you're in a minor leage, contract the risk 320 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: is that you're going to be in minor league kick 321 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: at some. Point did you have a reaction to that 322 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: and what it might say about the, bullpen BECAUSE i 323 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: think that was probably the headliner of these. 324 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: Cuts, YEAH i, mean based On Brian snitker's, Comments and 325 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: of course snit is just one of the voices in the. 326 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 2: Room he's not running the team from a ten thousand foot, 327 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: level but he is on the ground with these, guys 328 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: AND i tend to think the manager has a pretty 329 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: good insight into who's going to make the, roster and 330 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: not that something a manager tells the media is law 331 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 2: binding by any. Means but based on comments from snit 332 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: and others around the, TEAM i Thought Buck farmer was 333 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: a better chance than not of making the opening day. 334 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: Roster if you would have asked me twenty four hours, 335 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: AGO i would have said sixty five seventy seventy five 336 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 2: percent chance That farmer is on the opening day. ROSTER i, 337 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: MEAN i guess we should say that technically you can 338 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: still be on the opening day roster if you are 339 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: sent to minor league. 340 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: Camp thank you for saying that out, loud BECAUSE i 341 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: saw people, like, look it's it's not, good but this 342 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: is not. Binding you can come. Back it's not. OFFICIAL 343 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: i saw the word official being used a. Lot it 344 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: is not official at. All it would be. 345 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Weird to send a guy who's going to be on 346 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: your big league roster in ten days down to, camp 347 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: BUT i guess stranger things have happened to put. 348 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: Well your one injury away still or what was somebody 349 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: blows up in two appearances in a row this week or. 350 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: WHATEVER i tend to agree with. You that's WHY i. 351 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: Was that's WHY i said, That like it was so 352 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: surprising that it was so. Early you, know it's not that, 353 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: early but ten days. EARLY i was, like, oh so 354 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't even like really, There LIKE i Thought farmer 355 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: was going to be in the. Bullpen we agree on, 356 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: that and if, not maybe he was the last. Cut 357 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: but they have guys there. Now and by the, way 358 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't bother, Me LIKE i like that. Signing he's, 359 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: okay it's not in doct. Dominant he's, Fine but you 360 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: Know i'm not again a rage about, this but it 361 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: was more of a mild. Surprise and, also look they 362 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: it seems to, ME i, mean you made this note 363 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: in our doc AND i think you're, Right like it 364 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: seems kind of clear what the bullpen probably is going 365 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: to be based on this because based on who's, Left 366 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: because if you Take deemon And farmer off out of the, 367 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: mix you only have so many candidates to be in 368 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: the bullpen if you firmly take those guys off the, 369 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: war which we kind of have to do for project. 370 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: Purposes so as we sit here today and again these 371 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: things are fluid and they can. Change but now the 372 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 2: probable bullpen based on who is still In big league 373 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: camp Is rice El, Iglesias Pierce, Johnson Dylan, Lee Aaron. 374 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 2: Bummer those four percent, locks no, question look it. 375 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: In. 376 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah then based on the decisions On Sunday, Days Bell, 377 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 2: Hernandez anyel de Los, Santos Hector, neris who just got 378 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: into a spring, game and on Hell, perdomo who had 379 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 2: a nice appearance a couple of days ago and probably 380 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 2: his best appearance of the, spring it seems like that 381 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: eight is going to be your bullpen for Opening. DAY 382 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: i will Say brad and they'll throw it back to. 383 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: You there is a chance The braves opt to go 384 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 2: with a six man rotation to begin the, year which 385 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: would very likely include Aj Smith. Shavor The braves are 386 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: going to open the season with seven games and seven. 387 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: Days they do not have that dreaded opening day and 388 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 2: then day off the next day because they're In San 389 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 2: diego where rarely you have bad, weather and then they 390 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 2: go To Los angeles where similarly you're probably not running 391 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 2: into bad. Weather so seven games and seven. Days The 392 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: braves effectively ran a six man rotation for a good 393 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: chunk of last. Year SO i guess it's not impossible 394 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: That Smith's shavor could be that six starter for the. 395 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: Team it is also possible they could just bail on 396 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: one of the bullpen non roster. Invities they could also 397 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 2: sign somebody off the scrap, heap which is kind of 398 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: crazy at this point in the. 399 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: Spring and Did robertson still out? THERE i can't believe 400 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: he's still out, there but he. Is it's, crazy. MAN 401 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: i don't Know. 402 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: Robertson he's forty years. Old he must have a super 403 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: hard line in the sand Of. Brad you're gonna pay 404 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: me ten million dollars OR i am not signing with 405 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 2: you AND i DON'T i don't want. 406 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: Otherwise this is this is the non sequittor in some. 407 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: Ways BUT i said in our YouTube, comminent somebody was, 408 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: like why, this AND i was, like, guys we don't know. 409 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: That they don't Want. Robertson we don't know. Anything all 410 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: we know because if he'd signed some if he signed 411 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: somewhere else for two million, DOLLARS i would Be that's 412 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: when he started plunching the. Air it's, like what is 413 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: going on? Here but, today you, know he's a like you, 414 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: said he's a four year old. Guy he might just 415 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: be waiting for the perfect, opportunity or he might not 416 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: want to go to spring, training like it's something like. 417 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: That we just we just don't. Know but until he 418 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: signed somewhere, ELSE i can't be mad about it because 419 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: we just don't know what the interaction is has. Been 420 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: he's he's of, course by, far the most prominent available bullpen, 421 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: guy which is why we're talking about him right now 422 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: in this. Segment but, YEAH i think those names that 423 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: you laid out there are the ones THAT i would 424 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: guess right, now and there are. CHANGES i, mean our 425 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: Guy Justin, kana who's been on this podcast even fairly, 426 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: recently did a PROJECTION i, think well On, friday and 427 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: it was, different AND i think if he if you 428 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: asked him now to change, it he would change it 429 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: to probably what exactly what you. WROTE i don't want 430 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: to put wars in his, mouth but given who is 431 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: still there in spring training not on the minor league camp, 432 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: roster it's kind of got to be those eight, guys 433 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: and less to your, point they go with an extra 434 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: start or something like, that we'll. See so it's we'll 435 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: kind of do like a more finalized roster projection next 436 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: week or when they actually, talk you, know when they release, 437 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: it we'll talk about, it of. Course but, yeah for the, 438 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: moment that's the spot on the roster we've all been 439 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: talking about all winter and a long but it's getting 440 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more, clarity it seems. 441 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 2: Like and for housekeeping, PURPOSES i would guess that The 442 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: braves who Leave florida a week From, sunday so they 443 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 2: have one more we down In florida and then again 444 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 2: they go out west to play two games In, arizona 445 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: probably to acclimate to the time change and get your 446 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: travel out of the. WAY i would be surprised if 447 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 2: The braves carry anyone who is not going to be 448 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: on the opening day roster all the way out To. 449 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 2: Arizona you, know like like If Luke williams is not 450 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: going to be on the opening day, ROSTER i don't 451 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: think they would Fly williams all the way with the 452 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: team to play an exhibition and then go. 453 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: BACK i could be. Wrong that would just be my 454 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: my Educated, again maybe maybe it would be a Depth 455 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: s guy that like you knew was gonna be a 456 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna like it WASN'T I Luke libs maybe a good 457 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: example of something like that where it's like there's not 458 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: really any downside to bring in them with, You like 459 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: WHAT i would do is not you're not bringing a 460 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: young guy with, You like you're not bringing a prospect 461 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: with you The arizona that's not gonna be on a. 462 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: Team it's more, like you, know they already Optioned gary not, 463 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: option but they Set Gary cooper to minor league. Camp 464 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: he would be a guy that's like all right for 465 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: death purposes if you want just a bench bat one, 466 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: day you have you, know an old hand on tap 467 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: in case you just need a. Body But i'm generally with, 468 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: you like the roster they take To arizona is probably 469 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: going to be close to what they end up. Carrying 470 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: we'll get a pretty good, INDICATOR i would. IMAGINE i 471 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: will just think of, that, like maybe you want to 472 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: carry more than twenty six guys just for you, know 473 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: navigation reasons of going through those last couple of. Days 474 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: BUT i generally agree with. You we'll probably know pretty 475 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: well by. 476 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: Then sure you could always fly thirty players out instead 477 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 2: of twenty. SIX i, MEAN i think they have room 478 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: on the charter. Flight so, Yeah SO i think this 479 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: week we will really get some clarity on the roster 480 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 2: of the twenty six man The bullpen in, PARTICULAR i 481 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: think the bench is pretty much Set brad With Nick, 482 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: Allen Eli, White Chadwick. Trump that feels to me like 483 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: your three main bench. 484 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: Guys, YEAH i think so. TOO i, Mean Luke williams 485 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: is still, there BUT i feel like he's just Gotten 486 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: Wally pipps is probably too aggressive of a way to put, 487 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: it BUT i think, That, YEAH i think we agree on. 488 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: That the verse utility that's been showing For Eli white 489 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: this spring has probably Bumped Louke williams out of the 490 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: mix IF i had to. 491 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 2: Guess and also that's the last And Eli white is 492 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: the is the fast ninth, inning the catcher leads off 493 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: of the walk and you pull him Because Eli white's 494 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 2: gonna go in there and try to steal. 495 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: A base in a tie. Game once you showed the 496 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: ability to play a competent like middle, infield WHICH i 497 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: think has happened a couple of, Times like that's probably 498 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: an outfield, Too like get him a glove that could play, 499 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: anywhere have him run a little. Bit it makes total 500 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: sense to. Me so we're on the same page, there 501 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: non roster cut. News this is A this would have 502 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: led the show a couple of days, ago but it. 503 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: Didn't it didn't need, to thankfully for. Us Austin riley 504 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: left the game On, friday and we have Not we 505 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: have not done a podcast since. Then so before we're 506 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: talking about this, Now, uh he got hit in the 507 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: right hand with the, fastball and everyone including, us both 508 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: of us tweeted about this at the, time had a slight. 509 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: PANIC i would, say, uh Because Astor, riley if you 510 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: SOMEHOW i have forgotten this or memory hold. It he 511 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: broke that same hand In august of last year and 512 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: did not play again after. That rat with and, said, 513 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: actually the pitch basically was very, close like two inches 514 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: away from where he got hit last. Time what we 515 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: know now which makes me we can kind of smile about, 516 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: it is that he had an extra an extra right 517 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: away it was. Negative he had scans and pretty quickly 518 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: they figured out he was, okay uh to the point 519 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: where he literally was in the lineup of the next, 520 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: day which is. Uh that surprised me, honestly the fact 521 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: that he pitched the play next. DAY i was, like, 522 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: whoa it must have been like really a good spot 523 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: that he got. Hit he got hit in the hitd with. 524 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: Uh so anything else you want to add other than 525 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: just like a one giant. EXHALE i, mean there's not 526 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: really a takeaway here of. Them, great he's, yeah he's. 527 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: Fine thank. God The braids have now had two very 528 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: very scary injury situations this spring With riley and With 529 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: jerks And profar and both of them turned out about 530 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,239 Speaker 1: as good as you can humanly ask, for especially when 531 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: we learned it was the right, hand the one That 532 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: riley had the surgery, on and it was it was. 533 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 2: DOOMSDAY i was, like oh my, gosh did they just 534 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: Lose riley for another two months after last year and. 535 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: At least too it was as they've been, again like 536 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: he was not ready to go even in the playoffs 537 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: seven weeks, later like it would have been another three 538 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: months probably. 539 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 2: Like just, yeah, yes so a giant sigh of. Relief 540 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,239 Speaker 2: The braves have dodged now two bullets this. Spring they, 541 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: did of course Lose Sean murphy for a couple of, 542 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: weeks but that seemed like a relatively minor thing that's 543 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: not going to. Linger but, yes a very very good 544 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: place That Austin riley is not going to be hurt 545 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: for a long, time because that would have been just 546 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: a crushing blow for this. 547 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: Lineup elsewhere on the news and notes front jerks and 548 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: profar is going to TAKE vp as soon As, monday 549 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: and seems like he's on track. Again we kind of 550 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: knew that he was on track For Open. Day all 551 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: the comments have been really, positive which is another day 552 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: to point in the good direction. There, yeah just to 553 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: play us. There nothing's, changed no part of messaging has been. 554 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: Anything but we think he plays with me today and 555 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: that's where we still. 556 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: ARE i would imagine a day or two of batting 557 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 2: practice For, jerkson and as long as that risk checks, 558 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: out maybe he gets into games later this week and 559 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 2: this upcoming weekend and then he plays out In arizona 560 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 2: for at least one of those two exhibition, games just 561 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: to make sure he has all that grip. Strength and you, 562 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: Know braves are gonna run into some really really good 563 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 2: pitching the first week of the season With San diego 564 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: IN La so Hopefully jerkson's ready to rock and presumably 565 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 2: we'll be in that leadoff spot on opening. 566 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: Day, yeah there's the wrinkle of him going back to 567 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: where he was last Year San, diego like he's familiar 568 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: with those with those surroundings In San diego and hopefully 569 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: he's he's in the lineup by. Then other than, that 570 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: like the weekend was not the busiest that's there's ever 571 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: been for The. Braves saturday there was there were two. Games, 572 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: uh the one game of note was the backups against 573 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: The Red. Sox but it Was Chris. SALE i guess 574 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: his old, team which was, interesting looked great.

Singles So Chris 587 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: sale looks ready to. Go one more spring training tune 588 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 2: up and then he will be the opening day starter 589 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 2: for this. 590 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: Team the Ratings young winner is still good at, baseball 591 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: it seems. Elsewhere on that day in the other game 592 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: was probably the headline of the, weekend, honestly barring The 593 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: strider news that came the next. Day, uh you already 594 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: tweezed a little bit earlier on this, podcast but a 595 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: just beashav by all, accounts looked absolutely amazing On. Saturday 596 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: and we're not in the business on this podcast of 597 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: overly gassing up. Prospects generally, speaking we did Have gorevadaka 598 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 1: on the show a couple of weeks, ago And gore 599 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,959 Speaker 1: was very high On smashov on the. SHOW i think 600 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: he's feeling even better about that now than he was 601 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: then because he's looked good in recent. Days BUT i, 602 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: mean you saw, it just LIKE i. Did the reaction 603 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: for people that were, there people that were watching ON, 604 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: tv everyone was, LIKE, Whoa, like this guy looks incredible 605 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: and it's not just, philosophy but he's obviously he's always thrown, 606 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: hard but he was thrown, hard hitting, spots missing. Bats 607 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: what do you make of? That because you, know every 608 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: projection that's been out there has not had him in 609 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: the rotation on opening. Week he still may not, be but, 610 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: uh he's been a lot more impressive than In anderson's 611 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: still more in spring. Training that's probably safe to. Say 612 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: were you out on The smithshabre meter right? Now it was. 613 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: Probably the best we have ever seen A. J Smith 614 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 2: schavor pitch with The braves and even down in the 615 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: minors over the last couple of. 616 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: Years the stuff was. 617 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 2: Electric he faced a handful of regulars for The, TWINS i, 618 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: believe AND i mean eight strikeouts in four. INNINGS i 619 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: think he even hit one oh one on one of his. 620 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: Fastballs he's got gas. Man that guy can throw a. 621 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: Word he throws, hard and the breaking stuff looked pretty sharp, 622 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: Too AND i think that's probably the biggest obstacle now 623 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: For Smith shauv against big league. Hitters the fastball is gonna, 624 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: play but just knowing how to attack them and utilize 625 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: his cutter and his slider which is kind of one 626 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 2: in the same pitch from WHAT i, understand and really 627 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 2: just keeping hitters off balance and keeping lefties off him 628 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: and all of the things that you need to. Do, 629 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: frankly a lot of the things That Spencer schwellenbach learned 630 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: on the fly last season when he really took, off 631 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: was he was just getting better start after start and 632 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: learning how to attack big league. Hitters so let me 633 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: ask you, This, brad we know The braves are, well 634 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: maybe we don't. Know we are very much guessing and 635 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: thinking that just like they did last, year The braves 636 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 2: are going to effectively run a six man rotation to 637 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: Keep Chris sale fresh ups at least right there might 638 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 2: be a stretch where The braves have an off day 639 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: On monday and then an off Down. Thursday then they'll 640 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 2: probably go five man or if they who, Knows but 641 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 2: then there's also going to be a stretch where they 642 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 2: have to play twenty one year aims in twenty days 643 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: because there were two rainouts which turned into double. 644 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: Headers so my question to, YOU A. 645 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 2: J Smith shaver fifteen and a half starts this season 646 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,479 Speaker 2: over or, under that's roughly three months in the rotation 647 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: regularly for fifteen and a half, now. 648 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: So two dead points. Here he had five starts two 649 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: years ago as a twenty year. Old it didn't go super, 650 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: well but he was he was, up and they gave. 651 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: Him they gave him a real run two years, ago five. 652 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: Starts schwellenbach had what was, it twenty, one twenty, two 653 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: twenty one, starts, yeah twenty, one and obviously came up 654 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: pretty late last. Year now he never. Left he was 655 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: awesome from day. One WHO i will? TAKE i Think 656 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: i'm gonna lean, over which might just seem, insane but 657 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: NOW i Think i'm gonna go. Over you can really 658 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: sweeing the lines a little bit here on how much 659 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: of that has to do with my, Skepticism, uh BUT 660 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: i think also they've proven that they Like Smith. Shover 661 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: he's been an aggressive promotion multiple times he's still really. 662 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: Young but because you, what you what your, friend which was, 663 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: right and, look somebody canna get. Hurt, man like the 664 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: the odds of the odds of the guys that you 665 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: that we know are going to be, There, Sale, strider, Eventually, Lopez, 666 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: schwellenback someone's probably gonna get hurt out of. Them not 667 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: gonna whether that they, don't but like the reality is 668 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't really happen very. Often so between the chances 669 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: that he just becomes the fifth starter pretty, quickly which is, 670 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: possible and the fact that somebody might get hurt and 671 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: he's almost certainly the first call if they. Do, YEAH 672 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: i Think i'm gonna go, over which if you ask 673 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: me two weeks ago would have said under, Probably But 674 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: i'm gonna go over now after seeing what he's, been 675 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: like What air since. BEEN i know they Like holmes 676 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: AND i Like holmes. Too for the, record he looks 677 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: good to. Me BUT i think That Smith chavor will 678 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: be in there for all while this, Year. 679 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: And, similarly The braves are probably going to be cognizant 680 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 2: Of AJ's workload this, year and they. 681 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: And SPENCER'S i, mean obviously people don't want to hear 682 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: that and maybe that's not the best for a cy young. 683 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: Odds but would it shock you if they were keeping 684 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: an eye on Swallow maock's endings this? Year wouldn't shock? 685 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 2: Me, No, no The braves look Man sale getting hurt 686 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: with a week to go with back, spasms of all. 687 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: Things it. Was it was just an awful, luck awful 688 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: luck of the draw that they perfectly manage their. Rotation 689 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: they perfectly managed it to get into the. Playoffs and 690 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: who knows if there. 691 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: Wasn't the hurricane raining out three, games and if If 692 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 2: Chris sale doesn't get the back, spasms maybe The braves 693 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: go Into San diego with a trio Of, Sale schwellenbach 694 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: And lopez and they win that. SERIES i mean that 695 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 2: that could have happened instead of throwing POOR. A. J 696 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 2: Smith schaufer to The wolves in game one. 697 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: And then and he wasn't, Ready but it wasn't as. 698 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: FAR i Think i've already seen this on. You i'm 699 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: in charge of monitoring our YouTube. COMMENTS i care'sually an, 700 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: ADVENTURE i will, say But i've already seen people, like, 701 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: well did you not see him In? October he looked. 702 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: Terrible i'm, like, well he wasn't.

Else and he's 705 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: twenty two years. Old, like if you think that he's 706 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: the guy he was in that start In, OCTOBER i 707 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: would encourage you to forget about that start In. October 708 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's gonna be. Awesome nothing is. Guaranteed i'm 709 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: skeptical of prospects in, general BUT i would wipe that 710 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: start from your. Mind that has nothing to do with 711 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: anything in my. Opinion so just just a small tangent. 712 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: There BUT i like WHAT i. See you, Know i'm 713 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: never going to be as aggressive in projections of like 714 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: how good he's going to be as some, Mit but, 715 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: man he did look awesome this.

Real so AND i think 717 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: there's too much potential of there being ending is. Available 718 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: and we do the bell all the, time but there's 719 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: a reason why we do the bell all the time 720 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: about how you need, ted you need test starters because you. Do, 721 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: yeah and hopefully he's healthy enough to make sixteen stars 722 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: skip to give me the over on.

Score AND i Think florida is about the 1135 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,879 Speaker 7: best that we've seen in recent history at being able 1136 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 7: to do.

YUKON i Think florida is 1151 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 6: the best team in the, country But i'm not gonna 1152 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 6: pick them to win just BECAUSE i think that's. Boring 1153 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:09,360 Speaker 6: So i'm gonna Take Iowa state takes Down. AUBURN i 1154 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 6: don't actually believe that's gonna. Happen, Actually Iowa state just 1155 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,959 Speaker 6: had a pretty big injury. Today are are reported pretty 1156 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 6: big injury. Today But i'm gonna Pick Iowa state to 1157 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 6: take Down. Auburn i'm gonna Take gonzaga to take Down 1158 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 6: tennessee for that next. 1159 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 1: Spot. 1160 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 6: Uh gonzaga is an eight, seed, which, listen the seeding 1161 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 6: of this tournament is a disaster at. Times gonzaga is 1162 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:33,399 Speaker 6: a top Ten Ken pomp. 1163 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: Team yeah there night the kem eight seed is always 1164 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: a fun. 1165 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 6: Combination So houston their their reward for being a one 1166 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 6: seed Is they're probably gonna Get gonzaga in the second, 1167 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 6: round which is just A. TRAVIS i, mean that should 1168 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 6: be like a final four, game And houston's gotta play 1169 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 6: in the second. Round So i'm actually gonna Take gonzaga 1170 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,279 Speaker 6: in that region just to be. DIFFERENT i HAVE i 1171 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,680 Speaker 6: do Have duke BECAUSE i Think duke's offensive, defensive their 1172 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,320 Speaker 6: efficiency on both sides of the is actually absurd for 1173 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,960 Speaker 6: how young they. Are and SO i am gonna Take 1174 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 6: i'm gonna Take, duke and Then i'm gonna Take florida 1175 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 6: as my other for my final, four and THEN i 1176 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 6: do Have. Duke, UNFORTUNATELY i Have duke winning it. ALL 1177 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,880 Speaker 6: i would love to have somebody more interesting than, that 1178 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 6: BUT i you don't often see teams be so unbelievably 1179 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 6: efficient on offense and defense the way That duke, is 1180 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,880 Speaker 6: and If Cooper flag's, okay THEN i think they're the 1181 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 6: best team in the, country AND i Think florida's got a. 1182 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 6: Chance But i'm gonna go with The. Duchies, unfortunately it 1183 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:38,279 Speaker 6: hurts my heart to do. 1184 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: It, yeah Provided, yeah there are lots of injuries. Here 1185 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: The cooper flag was the biggest, one BUT i said 1186 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,400 Speaker 1: it's got, One houston's got.

Sampson they're gonna miss the Team. 1248 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 2: Houston when you Watch, houston if folks haven't seen a 1249 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 2: ton of, them they're never like super flashy or super. 1250 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 2: Impressive and then they, win and they win every single. 1251 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,560 Speaker 2: Game they've lost one game in three months and it 1252 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 2: was by two. POINTS i, mean they are a, machine 1253 00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 2: and they can really shoot the. Ball to the last 1254 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 2: couple of, Years houston and was dreadful, offensively but they're 1255 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,040 Speaker 2: one of the best three point shooting teams in the. 1256 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 2: Country and then they make life just miserable for you 1257 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 2: when you're trying to. 1258 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: Score and you, KNOW i. 1259 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,920 Speaker 2: Think Almost houston is somehow kind of underrated With florida 1260 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 2: being ungodly hot And auburn being so good for most 1261 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 2: of the year And duke being. LOADED i, mean it's 1262 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 2: weird to say a team that's been number one or 1263 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 2: number two in the computers basically the entire season In houston. 1264 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: Is underrated or under the radar a little. Bit but 1265 00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 1: they could totally cut down the Nets my Favorite houston 1266 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 1: stat is go go go. Ahead. 1267 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,320 Speaker 7: NOW i was about to say they don't do it 1268 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:38,880 Speaker 7: with big, names, right like they do it with really 1269 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 7: good college players like and they do it every. 1270 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 5: Year that's what makes them so. Good they're fun to. 1271 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 1: Watch my Favorite houston stat is, this they have four 1272 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: losses this. Season scott just said they have won thirteen 1273 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 1: in a. ROW i think it is they have four. 1274 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:58,600 Speaker 1: Losses three of them are in. Overtime one was to, say, 1275 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 1: yes what was to? Be they've lost one game regulation 1276 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,520 Speaker 1: all year and it was On november, ninth and it 1277 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: was To auburn by five. Points so they have zero bad. 1278 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Losses you're not even not even, bad nothing approaching a 1279 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 1: bad loss on their on their. SCHEDULE i think that's 1280 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: why they're all really, good and they were all. 1281 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:16,960 Speaker 6: CLOSE i think that's why they've gone on to The 1282 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 6: raiders because they lost To alabama And auburn at the 1283 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 6: beginning of the year and so everybody kind of put 1284 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,479 Speaker 6: them behind like the SEC's best. TEAMS i actually, agree 1285 01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 6: Like houston is one of those teams that's burned me 1286 01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:28,800 Speaker 6: enough times in the tournament THAT i. 1287 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: They've they've burned.
