Perfect afternoon for baseball here at cool today Park is the Atlanta Braves well line up here this afternoon just one week left until the regular season CJ Niki and partner for your debut here we got you a chamber of commerce Day 72 leag lineup so you’re going to see all

The allstars all the regulars today for Brian Snicker yeah nice to national league and will be get a look today we thinking about Michael Harris batting in that sixth spot selnick in the ninth spot there was some great power in that bat he could hit in the middle of a lot

Of ORD now we spin it forward to 2024 one of the all the action coming at you right after this spring training and my goodness 72° look at that Sky we are ready in Northport Florida let’s L up and a lot of the regulars in there for the Blue Jays as

Well of course Vladimir G Four Hole today dhing and on down the line where the catcher last year but lost in the Wild Card round of the Twins and now it will not be a regular starter for Atlanta today on the a guy who has started before obviously the

Very beginning of his career but that’s not what this is he’s got a good fast ball it’s around 95 milph but he really leads with that plus and that leads us right in the open will this be the opening day lineup and how does that work thinking about the

Different for these relievers if you ask Brian Snicker what does a perfect day look like today day every will be with us as CJ mentioned a starter earlier in his career but that certainly is not been sping this day with us first and it’s going to go on field

Clement’s going to dig for third and a first pit a fast against the glaciers you’re going to want to jump on it right go for it and quite honestly in spring training probably play it safe as opposed Toronto that’ll help his cause and here is a guy who certainly is not

Fighting they know what they have they know how deep of course that this roster runs and they had a pretty good ide the rest of the way Guerrero fouls this one off two and one 28th in Philadelphia certainly that regular lineup is what we’re seeing here this and Guerrero chased one two and

Two this one gets by Murphy Clement will come is looking for a strike out here off speed pitch below the zone and you see Shawn Murphy trying to back for the Blue Jays before an out is recorded and this look out on the burn two batters in it is two to nothing

Toronto well the good news it’s spring training and this really doesn’t count right that adrenaline that you get when you’re coming into ninth inning it’s a 3-2 and lines that one out the left field though and I know it’s spring training so you don’t read too much into

This with a glaz again especially when you’re coming in in such high intense situations throughout the regular they’ll try to settle in here and get the center fielder Dalton V couple of years guy hits the ball on the ground a lot they can talk launch angle

When into the playoffs but they did not show up their bats did not show up well a glaz the outside corner here and just locking up Maro perfectly placed there from trying to latch on to one of the final roster spots of course with the New York

Bets is back Kevin viio another but having a guy like Bole back in Camp now that would miss it in a 3-1 count if there’s anything that he was working on absolutely you can play with it even in this scenario here maybe sign some different things especially in different

Count this one rolled foul off the bat of Vogal day you’re going to throw one today you want the first one you want it to be a little bit later in the game and kind of and that thing is going to hit up above the yellow four batters in and it

Is three to nothing [Applause] Toronto number I me it just barely got out of here now Davis Schneider will dig In glacius now 34 years backed into that Atlanta Braves Bullpen swinging a miss good job here to get schn swing a miss and this pitch almost looks identical but it’s 5 mph slower talk a lot about this Bullpen as things go on here but aaz is one of the is really deep you

Mentioned we’ll get a look at most of the kind of go-to guys here about during the season preview when we interviewed him asked done some things but it’s the variety of looks that they have of some power arms and a onew is swung on and missed

By is and the MVP will lead things off in the bottom half good eye by Olen and he’ll take the try things that you may work on during spring training and that also counts last year but there’s a comfort level for guys that they may feel a little bit

More especially when you’re down a few runs C Zuna and one away in [Applause] the it will be interesting and one of the most interesting players to watched will be Michael Harris it’s one of the fun things you get to do as a Braves fan is

To dissect 88 of his starts last year came in the nine hole only six came in the six spot the key for him last year was just getting healthy had to snag early into a Groove he Produced just missing there from back after the legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowen who want to and Michael Harris takes it three and two Michael just it’s over amazing what he’s puts this one on the ground FFA goes the short route I don’t know why you throw it to that’s

The way you show up on a highlight reel but for all the wrong reasons because you’re probably so he’s at first with two outs and that will bring up the catcher and a luxury for the Braves to have that catching two home runs that the Braves got last year from the

Catcher position most in baseballs uh which I thought was pretty fascinating to see he fit in really nicely into this lineup and bar goes to Second and that’ll do it brav scram give you back to Northport cool to day park Braves and Blue Jays on he’s sporting that Florida tan down

There SN always appreciate you joining us and gotcha good it’s been really good um you know we’ve gotten all a lot of work in stuff and U it’s been good you know it’s it’s uh been a really solid spring so far they have your roster set there’s not very unknowns with this ball

Club and I’m sure they’re starting to think about apartments wherever they’re going to go and all that and I think they’re very appreciative of the fact that in this business and but I think um it’s good to know and I can tell training but no doubt I got to believe

For you one of the things on your mind was this guy right here on the mountain right now anticipated quite honestly with the long layoff U timing with his delivery which all that stuff will come with time and and and appear how mat is is doing well not only him but the

Others the the balance of the bullpen just see I mean we got a lot of guys that have had success in a major league who gets the start we know of course glacius had started previously in his career but he’s your your closer you know the regulars that they bring over

And plus the fact we could not have him sit around at this point in Spring are you just antsy to get to Philadelphia a lot especially with you know we’re still in the process of of stretching I’m ready to get going so having this many great tools and especially on the

Offensive side we were just talking a little and how it happens and how you ultimately will come to a conclusion well I mean it’s worked his way up to the top of the you know higher in the order um to start somewhere with everything with the 26-man roster you

Know what you start hitting you know certain that’s constant I mean kind of what we constantly do and U but we got to start somewhere uh speaking of starting somewhere the regular season will start what all went into that decision Smith well you know what I’m I

Know I had last year but he’s done the last couple years and and um you know what you kind of had three guys we could have chosen and all of them would have been good and I want to ask you about another guy expected to be in the

Rotation and what you’ve seen from spring so far I was excited I was excited when it happened I’ve been even more excited now getting stretched out so um no he’s been he’s been I think a really good addition for us before things get started in Philly oh I plan

On it a little bit I’m getting the age where I can’t have too much I and Snick are always such a joy to be around just something about his demeanor for a really long time go back to the Bobby Cox days I believe that’s you know

Certainly a big part of this these big expectations all day long and if you’re not careful that sets with these guys with everybody involved it kind of gives you that but we’re a really great team I think that comes from the very top of the 2016 season and people weren’t really sure

How long would he be around to just be an interim guy well he you seen it all too right having this much time around a strike the vogle back to make it three and two coming off the injury and as snit said he just looked what nice again going back to the

Construction of this B more time for Tyler to build some of that strength get back to where exactly shoot Clips the inside corner there word for Manny Gonzalez and it wasn’t intentional you can see where the setup is and Tyler mat trying to throw that break Guerrero LED things off with a

Walk he was pinch right bathed in sunshine takes it into the mid Atlanta Braves baseball is brought to you by dtin Fort Walton Beach Florida that something that big line off the bat of Orlando Aria hit for Atlanta this afternoon something we saw last year uh with this

Club but a pitch up in the zone why not go out and get it you bringing in a Marlin and the offense comes to life position and that will bring up the new face of the news of course recently this past week with Adam Duvall returning

Lefty on the mound so kelic maybe not an everyday guy but he figures to play a pops this out of play and it’s always difficult it’s a second you go into Camp you want to impress everybody you just can’t help no matter who you are no matter how long you’ve been of

Talent and Alex anthopolos and Brian Snicker both said look chance to get Duval and bring him back we wanted to do that a lot of talk about a right-handed bat as a backup outfielder heion exactly what happened is they get later and later into the offseason some

Of Shad it perfectly Orlando will tag and jump up 90 ft I think Orlando can just never catch him without a smile on his face in this game every day boots this one but it goes right to the short first run of the afternoon kind of fppa who will probably

Be there every day third Bas least get the bulk of the opportun marks are for this blue jays infield it’s Matt CH platoon in both of those positions for the Toronto Blue Jays having D left a pretty decent amount over at 31 a gold glove off the bat of

Azie New Jersey John Schneider Now 44 years of age became the interim back in Full Count to ozie Alz pass Tom Goodwin and then Matt tuas esopo yeah they certainly do of course we saw Tui last year a little bit pop up and do some work for his boxes this year that one misses oie TR to but they also wanted him to get another opportunity to manage and it’s such a

Neat opport just beloved around the game and so for him to be able to lead that club I think everybody was kind of pull his career and so there are plenty of resources here for this bra infield to with the rest of the staff that’s returning from a season to go high stck

Out Swinging to end the first inning he’s over for one re we welcomed you to our crew we also welcome making it look beautiful and it’s nice not to be the only new guy yeah yeah no it’s you know it’s going to be a lot of fun

And you never want to just be the new guy all by yourself swinging a miss and down goes Riley for the second 4 to one Toronto as we head to the fourth Brandon go CJ nitowski more to come we will have three more of the spring training variety

Before kick Atlanta pitcher here this afternoon coming off a season you can see the 50 9 games sitting around 84 occasional change up once in a while about 90 mph on you back out there how have you felt so far this spring partner I I feel really good you know working on

Some timing things and and getting back to being a baseball player last year season to not be able to be a part of it what was that like in 2023 for you yeah you know I’m back I just did what I what I could to help the team and um you know

Just kind of hang out talk to fantastic but uh you know I wish I was out there with him Tyler I’m curious for you as you went through right again yeah just getting back on the bike you know get back on the bike just and uh uh you

Know get and um you know I got to get back into the flow of things I’m telling my body to move and um you know that’s what I’m what I’m focusing on is is that timing and becoming a player again maybe talking about things to look for whether

Anybody anybody in particular that Max I’ve Le on um Mentor you know all these guys Yates was another one um you know a little bit going through it uh you know I was talking to him so suppos to feel normal does this feel normal what did

You do here what did you do there and um you know have I got the the little pendant for myself home runs all the time and I feel like I shouldn’t be wearing bad luck or something but yeah no I just need to go

Out there and do what I need to do so I don’t really have any superstitions I know a lot of guys do you know I hope it’s in a a situation where the team’s uh winning and I go out there and help the moment for me yeah I’m wondering is

There anything to the fact that this is a really deep Bullpen that that you have been in the past for this braz Bullpen yeah I mean we’re so deep they don’t have to take on huge workload I’m going to go in do what I can do and um you

Know Bullpen and yeah I’m excited just to be part of it and you didn’t get to work as I said we’re just excited to see you back out there and we will see you in Philly here very short had back in October at 22 and he’s not only good to

Have in the center VI quite honestly up and down uh this Clubhouse with the braak just good guys but he had been there him and so having lived it done it he gets it and his path has been probably probably like a small bump in the road quite honestly compared to some

Other things that he had gone through but I love hear that that I may have and then two how they can all kind of lean on each other because they run you there to be able to pick you up bring your fish net out here I did not cool and I

Played in high school so anything comes up here it’s your responsibility if the Braves had a need in the field and the glove of Olen and Lucas is going to dig for extra bases Thea with that powerful right arm through a because the throw appeared to

Be in plenty of time oh he’s out we got him I did love it’s girthy that one is in there for a strike one and one yeah Braves marketing does his and Matt olon takes it last season the Braves LED Major League Baseball in every single one of these categories

Asterisk by the fact that that ball will Scorch off the bat of Olson but the Twins hit their 3os I think if the Braves were playing with the 2019 players and especially guys that are still active and you’ll see a career high more of what it was back then so

I’m with you on that one and the idea that yeah they’re going to say look 308 which they’re all by yourself we’ll take that too softly to left of a hit pull it up off the turf that’s a very nice play what is that four pitches this inning with as we talked about

Earlier trying to prove himself for the fifth spot in that rotation Harris is 0 for one and a ball at a strike to it how do we feel about Ronald’s luck today a 563 right field clearly out would had a spring training assist not those St he takes it out on the Phillies

To start the season if that stays Fair it’s trouble Money Mike look at those glasses it’s the trend everything kind of comes not everybody can have that look and make it look good the last few months for Michael har thir that we’ve seen ahead of it in January as well fiance Esther so

Big off seon for Michael Dungan Donuts before the broadcast could have easily polished off a dozen the season to burn it off but good control Bret and kany has been kind enough to go ahead and put down her credit card for that meal we’re all looking speaking of top shelves that one

A little high and it is the Blue Jays with a 4 to1 lead over for Atlanta and the first pitch he fires to Clement is fouled back about the depth of the bullpen and perhaps nobody will be more affected by that in a positive way number maybe

Comes down by a couple of ticks to keep him healthier and stronger throughout the year part of the timing something that Brian Snicker had told us before he wants them to and now three lefties do here in the lineup against the left a couple of innings ago playing over at first

Base AJ had the little hiccup last year when acius was injured he he was really solid for Atlanta and it’s not the same just knowing there’s something to early but the ninth inning was just uncomfortable something about being that good pitch there to even the count Runner goes and a good pitch to run on nothing here yet more often than not when you got a left-handed pitcher you’re going to go on first move and as soon as AJ lifted he got him though challenged him and a swing and a miss from AJ had a

Little bit of an issue with lefties last year there were 288 against him on the batting pitch which is it probably a better pitch left on right more often than not s varo x talked about their attempt starting last year to kind of one and two I mentioned they did lose a couple

Of guys Chapman over at third but expectations I think definitely high in Toronto the Vladimir guo Jr neither of whom are locked into long-term deals how long do their success Chin Music he take it himself two away games at every out of Market game live or on demand black John Schneider the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays I thought it was interesting last year they went 0 and2 against the Minnesota Twins and he got a contract extension which you he

Did a good job with that sometimes management has interesting ideas we was beautiful every day but that’s a fun ballpark it’s a fun atmosphere up there Bri they made some adjustments and some renovations to that ballpark from the American League East it’s a party in Toronto good blocked by Shawn Murphy one

And two all year long but there are metrics now behind blocking and the numbers that you can put up came to balls in the dirt he was the best yeah there was a lot of talk about his pop TI there Fielding those balls with the big broad shoulders obviously so the body

Type he was really good last year a lot to it whether so much convers but there that’s big when you have a catch where you have a runner at their base and you have the confidence that if you’re looking to throw that pitch where you’re a head confidence

When you got a great blocker like Shawn Murphy behind the plate but he does get the call from home PL umpire Manning Gonzalez there and the runners Are and Shawn Murphy is a quiet guy results they kind of speak for themselves I was talking about the ballpark up here and the renovations that are the Blue Jays open up the season a three City Road trip ampa for four then down to Houston for three and

It’s not as if it’s a you know a small road trip sure every screw is down now so you start down in Florida and then in southern Texas maybe not it’s it’s 11 days 10 games in 11 days before you get home after leaving Flor Boston Riley Aria went ahead

And we saw a similar play inning pitching change here for Brian Snicker had plenty of room it was a longer hop but up higher than he anticipated Hank Aaron way and on a folks the bravs will honor the 50th anniversary with truish you won’t want to miss it experience a

Very special pregame celebration as well that memorative giveaway so you know opening day is going to be fun Hank and at 7:15 What A Night That should be that’s going to be a great one obviously Braves this is one of the minor league guys appearing today former 13th round

Pick by the Royals back in 2021 and when he was trotting in from the bullpen he just kind of has that big leag press Sunshine here this afternoon at cool today Park Brandon God CJ nitowski with you lead things off for Atlanta for Toronto you want to see next so I would guess prettyy good chance that murf stays in there here so far this afternoon coming in to make a absolutely and dealing with the Sun as well now Isaiah Conor FFA had a good read you all Clement yeah it was a basket catch

Looked cool but probably not what his manager wants to See’s going to land on top of our head The netting goes up to the point where it’s tough for in here real hot I’m perfectly fine with that net being where it is Bea Murphy for two more

Innings and then would imagine as we get to the position play players that are up with Atlanta today he had the double back in the third this a single here take a look at this pitch trying to go down and Away finishes up and over

The heart of the ball well Sunday he got hit in his left hand with a pitch the X-ray will run out of room Jared KCK it’s only a th strong kid and most guys you get beat like that that’s going to be a fly ball for the injury he got

Off to a very good start he was hitting 300 through early man also had that really was a tale of kind of his first 45 games and his second five games is when he broke his foot and frustration kicking and it really derailed his season he didn’t come back until midt

And now a new opportunity a fresh start as you said where this is brav lineup is Francis with a two- two pitch and this one is fouled off that one got really deep and kind of almost like that that fight off swing again hey there goes another one look

Alive out there bounce back all the way back down to the Dugout last thing you’re thinking about right yeah foul ball looks up And kck’s going to call time or the two second adjustment to 18 seconds on the pitch clock now with Runners and helck and Francis almost seemed like there was some real int and hold hold hold and try to make a hit or uncomfortable in the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Padres

Korea 6: a.m. or whenever it started well the foul ball parade continued yeah I missed the start of that one I was saw logs at that point in time full and now the count worked full is that 95 mph at the end but either way

Get an idea of how good of the bats this gu can be not where he wants them to be in spring training good is talked about right everybody else had a Low batting average in spring training they lined out to and there will be a 12 that got a

Piece of it yeah Kevin siter hitting coach for the brace has said many times you just left in the tank 3-2 is scorched up the middle end of this battle that he gets pitch that is up in the zone drills it right back up the what you want to see as we head

Toward the end of spring TR heading indeed that is it runs stolen bases on Bas percentage Ops you name it for Toronto and a this plugs the Gap in left center it’s going to P [Applause] aunia around you’re going to see a first pitch fast B they wanted it higher it

Was down Jared Kellick as well as soon as he saw a little bit of that Bobble in left centeri scoring position and ozie Al’s the batter as he flew out back in the first he walked in the CJ but another one is just ambushing first pitches he is so ready

Hitters will take that to another level they know what they’re looking for they want it early they want the average in the game is always going to be on the first pitch of an that bat you see something that you Like couple of years the Blue Jays got him in the middle of 2022 and so what you want to do when you’re facing a hitter like this is really expand the zone and he’s fortunate tried to get Azie to expand that zone there but he does had a career

Year last year career high in homers with 33 career high in his fast balls they’re all to se good velocity over High throw he air mailed it game [Applause] is about as his routine watch Schneider here he does a good job with his Fe heck of an effort over at first base but

Nobody’s getting that oneel for them Schnider throwing way to game up got twice today both times swinging and he’s quickly down here 0 and two TI and the Braves have played Four here in and a meeting on the mound right now that will be it for Zack pop Wally who

Was ready for it and all over it so a couple of 02 counts yeah kind of wild I mean you can have so much fun digging in offensively especially if they’re looking at some of those R stats and their ability to up and hit it right at

The top in Major League Baseball this guy certainly helped with that cause Austin rley the most recent hit the RBI single to bring in alz to tie this game up The new pitcher is Brendan little last Club in 2022 and now he’s getting an opportunity with the Toronto B travel roster today so for five old VAR show just on the edge of the Trap a Sho but a turnar around for and then all of a sudden he turns it around and ends

Up having career highs and homers and runs drippen in about your talent it happens every players you get a little bit older couple of days off it was a couple year for Marcel and to see him put together the season he did which was essentially five for the Braves number

307 to tie that record on the last day Fouls off the one two to keep the count right there Sarasota I think right down the street absolutely yeah it’s about 30 and he takes care of Marcelo Zuna we are in Northport Florida Brandon Garden CJ decowski with you our first tide and Pierce Johnson will take the center of the diamond to

Now Pierce Johnson came over to Atlanta last year pitched really ra started using that breaking pitch a little bit more it’s right near the top of Base even a little bit more this curveball was devastating last year as it has for Colorado we’re good but there tricky hop Olson takes

It see that high hop starting to harden up a little bit so you got to give yourself a little bit of extra space almost like kind of playing with a that want to eat him up over there on the Third Base side I came down here right as position

Players were reporting and Fs and to see the patience that they had how kind they were and accommodating how nice everybody is and even Austin Riley right there started to go get that foul ball it was all the way by they handle it all with Grace that’s for

Sure now what’s a typical spring training day life yeah it all depends on whether or not your family’s with you if you give your wife a little bit of a break but if not straight to the golf course or with one out here in the six I

Think as you get a little bit closer here right you start getting DB time when you get it because the full season is coming it’s a grindy relax I think guys kind of start turning it on a little bit getting a little bit more serious about how they’re spending even

That that would in there for a strike two and one to the catcher Bri right hand handed play chance to turn two of the Six to get turned around and make that throw but still really close even on the high throw back to the top of the order Harris who has not been very busy this afternoon team is the Braves third baseman Austin Riley joining us for from The Dugout um you know swing’s feeling

Good body’s feeling great um the bra but I know that that postseason left a bad taste in your mouth the mentality is that something that’s been discussed this spring no I think you know uh we got to just stay healthy um and take you know things Day by get there first um

You know going here in about a week or so so you’ve been through this quite a few so you know like I said just trying to have aity abs that ball is long gone dud he missed he just he came in The Dugout uh that last one he like takeing

Six to five lead we talked so much about offense you know still some work to do but uh you know I I really like where I’m at I want to ask about that last that you talked about and a good one that RBI single that you had if I’m not

Mistaken I believe it was you know just looking forward to to getting out there again 39 or 40 how many bats how many innings you want to play again as we get to this point in spring training you like to have a um you know every day uh

And I think that’s the the biggest thing is just like getting your 30 to 40 to 50 range I think is is you know key you and your wife Anna expecting another one we are August August 2nd so uh appreciate you spending some time with us yeah I

Appreciate you guys all right Austin Riley 3940 I mean is that not did you get would you get excited about a 39 not my best I’ve got 39 after six holes I’m feeling pretty good he can crush the ball a tradition like no other right Orlando R takes it inside Pearson

You’re going to get that big fast ball averaged 98 mph last year and 194 lefties so Kellick his Bat is coming the quality of the bats all three of them today were excellent of course he had that 12 so a good sign for one of the Braves

J exposito so it’s exposito at third they’re at the corner got under this and the throw is late baseball he daed himself on the helmet a couple times with his Bat however he gets the job on the front nine of a golf course so high expectations for the

Braves Azie takes it way outside 2 and0 a lot of guys golfing in the offseason doing various things on swing and a miss two and two tested his hand down here in the Florida no spring training activity he tried to stop his Bat but he could not according the fifth inning Astros lead

This game 3 to one oh man baby a gorgeous day at cool today Park Brandon G CJ Nik cowsky in the booth a little bit I mean I got thrown in the closers real early and uh it really wasn’t something I’d come over here you know

They put me in situations to succeed um still high leverage but you’re digging a little bit if you wouldn’t mind on that whole part of inning compared to any other inning prior to that yeah you were stick with one and two mixing your slider and uh let’s see where it goes

And it went in a good place we looked at the at the depth of this Bullpen and big arms everywhere up and down the line and how fun it is to look around and see all these big time arms I mean it’s awesome I just hope there’s some Innings to

Spare Pierce I understand that you’re a big fan of dad jokes is that accurate yes son came to the bullpen uh probably the second anyone that got here and he said that joke and everybody erupting about your your curveball Pierce and for good reason it’s one of the best in

Baseball uh so I actually bang that slider I really liked it but because I was in the nol for guys off balance cuz sick of facing the M guys in that division where they’re hard to get out cutter and uh so far it’s it’s fared pretty well this spring banged of course

B and Sliders when they bang means they’re gone games that kind of stuff uh game’s over there’s more recreational things we’re getting closer to I mean honestly I’m spending as much time as I can my family you I mean you guys know how hard this game really cherish and

Then I like to do every day all right before we let you go you got to give us for children in the line you know that one I don’t think he understands it nor does he understand the seaweed one but uh those are really close good thing they got a dump

Button Stevens is in now Jackson last year he spent most of the season in the miners battling injury Stevens is one of those guys that gives you a much different look it’s a repertoire that runs well curveball foram fastball change up really the repertoire and no problem out there we

We obviously have a plethora of guys that are deserving of this um I think if you asked anybody we’re all sort of focused on um you know winning winning every game one of the Season could atone for losing to them in the DS then that

Would be true but as we all know that congratulations to Spencer Strider who will get his first opening day start that means both of those guys are going to be so important I don’t know how much it matters CJ but a cool thing for number 99 belt and to do it in

Philadelphia Le or something there I think that certainly matters and be a nice moment for him and he has been so good in chance to get to 9 and0 on opening day meanwhile forest forest wall seems to be that guy that’s going to be the

Back he fouls it back two and two it’s a really nice add a nice C Defender maybe having really great speed is something you’d like to have and the bra spring the forest wall start off the first week of spring training with a couple of homers now behind Forest wall will step

In here and take a pitch low game try to go through and say okay if something happens shortterm longterm who are the replacement a or two or even a few Innings if you Le the game with an injury the other way with a solid single to a number of different infield

Spots guy that’s been around 20 are minor Leaguers that are getting an opportunity with oh that came in and hit him glancing yeah you see the run on that pitch and just continued to kind of saw kill Patrick make the catch in center field now he almost gets hit

His getting back to that final roster spot one a guy like Forest wall to sit a lot on the bench interesting discussion as there was a guy named Luke Williams briefly with the Braves last year I think getting the opportunity no definitely not I mean there are certain

Things that you think you look that he wouldn’t benefit from playing every day in the minor leagues it would be a lot sharper if you needed him and a guy who endures all that time in the minor leagues gets to the big leagues last year puts up some nice you’re probably more

Comfortable having the older player in that role number 22 but I’m sure things the Braves used a ton of folks in the spots in the starting rotation last year it’s just kind of the reality of our game and and the Braves are built in a really great

Way right now as far as that run out of pitching really fast and don’t have the depth that they need the New York Mets have the highest payroll in baseball and they are overseason K Patrick breaks for second at good speed and knock on wood the Braves relatively healthy last year Matt

Freed ran into his issues postseason but all in all there is Gap Triple A but that happened last year then he was called up right after the fre injury So nck claro is the batter a ball mainly single a and so things can get a little hairy in spring training right this time of the game favorite things that usually happens at almost happened here to a t not exactly pinch run or pinch hit whatever it may be and he’s also going

To stay in that player’s uh position we an Austin R other than that nice and clean as clean can get in spring training L disaster 75 Advantage EJ Expos at a Ball taken and a good play Atlanta Braves enjoying a 7 to five lead as we go to the E it has been gorgeous since we got up this morning yeah not surprising we talked about this quite a bit coming that role becomes really important especially

Early in the year as guys are still kind of building up in that first inning and it’s going to ask him to potentially throw to there ORS last year the Braves had Michael tonan who who served in that role most of the season and I think it becomes

Even more important now that Ronaldo Lopez is in the rotation because he was probably well he did he’s going to be in that rotation so now having some other guys make sure that they’re stretch to the walk now he’s facing the short Nala when you were pitching in these

Games in Spring everything a lose and nothing game what it could be like no you are something that you’ve never done before and again you really don’t have anything a joke about it but you really have nut you let up a hit or a run to one of those college teams usually That not that you’re not serious but what does the intensity level look like here what should it be hey I don’t think that’s a spot you want to be in as a big league reliever well back to back one here he’s late on the 91 mile per runners will try to advance third

And a 1-1 count it’s close if that throw is a little bit lower they take a look at this throw just a little bit high if that throw is lower he is out we’ll get to have another one tomorrow here on our talk about another big payroll team

That feels a little thin on starting P both of those teams in the New York Market have had their issues as of late go around but the results have not been what they expect one With two men on that’ll appeal but he did 35 pitches laboring a little bit and he lost control of that one far loaded after 36 pitches into trouble with some control here in the top of the eighth and the Braves dip back into the bolt will be put in a tough spot here

With nobody out and the base is loaded this is a kid from it in a game for Tech now we’ve seen some of that with Co um but he did somehow he uh he pulled it off he pulled it off yeah last ball good pitch there making quick work

Ball last year but to inherit a really tough spot which is base is loaded and nobody out of spe like to see changed and for Hughes he does that on three pitches and so now a real opportunity another nasty pitch as he faces the catcher Phil oh and Hughes hit him in the back foot put there look like a breaking ball yeah there it is fck it off so the base is still noted Braves with one out here clinging to us to nothing Atlanta put up four in the fifth two More day with the Blue Jays 4 six up and fall but right now it’s glorious over the eighth Braves up 7 to six so a spring training game pretty cool to see but I was older I never got to the players or just to have some fun

On a BMS there not enough BMS in baseball yeah there’s not enough folks that come down early in the game bring their kids before the game I should say for batting to in real opportunity to see players early on in spring training again especially guys it’s really cool

To see up close and with the Braves have built here at cool to day park and around the nation for Braves country which takes up the entire Southeast seems so that they can bring their families to see the Atlanta Braves but especially for brav fans because of what they built here they

Really can this year that’s gorgeous well Justin Dean who came in somehow he kept his hand attached right out of the box tremendous hustle take advantage of your opportunities when you get a chance this is going to be a double off the bat so great hustle Justice back in

2018 so he hasn’t had much of an opportunity to prove himself and now a guy who’s been around the majors for some time decade though with the white socks and kind of a utility position didn’t get a ton of about you know potential backup infield spot they ran deep a pretty good competition

Obviously none of these guys going north with the team as it stands right and Marcel Ozuna and the new Bullpen coach Eric Abu all the if you remember what year that was 2011 wow so Marcel had not been San Francisco de making his debut in 2013 will be part of the Braves opening

Day roster infield still in for Toronto and after the game stickering CJ nski watch exclusive player demos and more there I don’t mind sharing the camera a little bit com some preview show you did some cool DW Ry talking a little Third Base defense talking about the slow

Roller quite honestly all the the fan the Insight what’s going on with these guys but then also if you’re a coach or a parent some Aaron bummer and how he got to where he is now with that two scene fastball kind of an amazing story I forget who the Yankee two scene

Fastball he I’m watch I’m an Applebee’s with a my leue teammate of mine different for this generation that you can actually go online and listen to a big leag Pi opportunity to do that with him really cool totally changed his career over some Shel SP up on the brave

Season preview show right right after we’re done here placing as we said Eric Young over there as the first base coach was a m yor just pounding some of these into the ground here base but a good career guy that could always run the bases well right there’s something about having 369

Stolen bases in his career another payoff pitch this one in play into disaster for the blue JS as the Braves tack on a double play full spin around and you’re also dealing with the runner and we do and be ACC so the Braves now with a 9 to6 lead

By fubo live TV and sports without cable TR a three-run game first pitch to Steven swinging a miss and at a Wagner College you watch that game yesterday did wager win yeah they did they barely hung on and now I’m drawn to that’s right got the victory there

First ever NCAA tournament win Howard had three for the whole night so Howard can feel okay that’s got to be tough though for a guy like this to have there I mean there’s something impressive about right the ability to keep going to be an older player and still get a lot of chances

The game has gotten younger there’s less minor as far as total amount that you can have even in your system so be cut out 92 mile per see a handful of relievers in their you mid you just don’t see it nearly as much the opportunities and the draft

Down to 20 rounds now that’s why when you hear a story like a for opening day roster for the first time it just warms your heart a little bit matter now for Atlanta is Kevin Kilpatrick And the count full as long berries that one in the now the 3-2 pitch with the runners going with two away and he fouls it out of play does how many of the Braves regulars are on the third hole right now at 18 sofly to short tricky in between

Hot when I duck hook one off the team there are three other people that can save that’s right Brian Snider bobin and weave into the music over there see I would think this time of time and it’s almost to the point where you’re saying you know what I’m ready for these

Games to count for real and the excitement surround team just makes that anticipation even higher but really for and for these Graves as we were saying a lot of the questions well at least to begin the season it’s r Lopez who would occupy that but we’ll

Say this we talk about again you can’t wait to get going and get the regular season started we meant what not that gets put off by you know for these guys I mean what they’re 21 days on the road before coming home for opening day at Hughes is back out there

For Ward charges For2 you know Austin Riley’s answer though when I asked him about that World Series or postseason but overall when you come into the Braves clubh house knows the expectations right 100% at this roster and saying yeah okay this was a really good team last year there’s been good rosters put together over the

Years and good teams that haven’t found them it’s wild to think that they getting to the postseason and they’re not the only ones over the years there was a run there for the it is a fair expectation a realistic one there but you just don’t want to get you ahead of

Yourself and now the Some Noise again in the National League top three teams I think all around in the National League the centrals are little positions and the Padre’s really sneaky I we look at the Padre pretty good they still have stars in the lineup even though a lot of guys

There’s some bats there yeah there was a lot expect ball well and that ball hits off the and that will make it that’s where it hit but apparently Chris oh that’s a good call yeah they did clear being with these Blue Jays during the co season and now in the Braves

Might having that conversation about the idea of sticking around as an older player becomes more and more diff was interested in taking a look at I I did it when I was 39 trying to hang on by a thread so let me see if I can throw a stable see what

Happens but he was good for the 58 punch outs in 47 Innings last year league stin for him was in 2022 brief and this game is [Applause] Tied great look that they get and this fastball was just right down the middle a souvenir out on the burm so that means there will be a you see how oldal is 18 St at the Major League level Corner infielder Astros P baseball family well he gives up the

Homer so that’s kind of
