but Jake the Braves I think have finally figured out a few things at the plate and while we saw a whole bunch of runs and a whole bunch of home runs over the weekend which is good to see I’ll take timely hitting and great pitching that’s also a recipe for success and that’s exactly what they needed on Monday yeah as a team and a team that wants to be a great team you got to be able to win in multiple ways we know the Braves have been able to win in these pitchers duels this year that’s how they’ve won a lot of their games over the last month and a half but again we saw them be able to to put up some runs over the weekend and win that way so it’s great it feels like a little bit getting closer back to last year where they could they could win in multiple ways and that’s exactly what you want if you’re going to be a great team and I think you could feel that energy and truis park as well when the Braves were able to Stage those late comebacks that they needed one run in the seventh inning we’ll talk about Austin Riley who continues to do things for the Braves in this game or over the course of the last week really and through the weekend where he seemed to get the monkey off his back when it came to just breaking through at the plate something he’d been working very hard toward throughout the course of the Season then of course ozie Al’s home run off her old friend Shelby Miller in the eighth inning put the Braves on top by a 2-1 score to stay and the Braves pin in this one even without Rell glaciers to close it out wow did they do some serious work in this game as well it was also one of those nights where and I know we want to talk about the OES the go-ahead Home Run and a big moment for him of course how about an unsung hero or just another kind of uh just off the page a little bit hero for the Braves Forest wall was the man who came through with the game tying single for the Braves right after it seemed like Adam Duval might have put the Braves ahead with a a ball that looked like it was headed for the Left Field seats didn’t quite have the distance but it moved Austin rley to third Forest wall brought him home Jakey was fresh up from Triple A Gwinette what a moment for Forest who’s been kind of waiting I think for his opportunity to get back to Atlanta after making the club early in the season and not finding much playing time yeah and it was just unfortunate for him then I mean he he did everything he could you know really last spring training last year at the minor leagues and then coming into this spring training he just performed well every time that he was out there and the Braves rewarded him with a spot on the roster to in the season just because of the way the Braves roster was at that point he wasn’t going to get much playing time and now the Braves are searching everywhere for outfielders to try to get some healthy bodies out there so it’s a chance now for potentially him to to get a little bit of run here in the Outfield so great to see him be able to come back up get that chance and be able to get a a big knock to tie things up there so love that for Forest wall kind of the grant home story of last year you know God been around a long time finally got his opportunity and again you see him here now with all the injuries he might get a chance yeah eight or nine years for Forest wall to get himself to the big leagues and and finally get that opportunity to break through after spending a long time in the minor leagues and of course we talked about you know Grant Holmes in the decade that it took him from first round draft pick to Major League debut and I think we’re going to be talking about that story a little bit more it just seems like it he just seems like one of those guys who is almost a little bit larger than life in some ways just because of the story it just you you gravitate towards guys like that and the same thing I think can be true with Forest wall I remember talking to Spencer Strider back in spring training just about getting that season started and he was asked you know who he had his eye on in spring training and he said look foris wall has come in here and worked extremely hard and deserves this opportunity and everybody to a man is so excited that he was going to be on that opening day roster but as we saw you know with the Braes Outfield set the way that it was particularly when you had the MVP in right field and a gold glove center fielder and you had a platoon once Adam Duval moved into the left field picture ad it seemed like it kind of pushed Forest wall out of the Braves Outfield plans but I love seeing in the broadcast to make this long story as short as I can who was the most excited to see Forest Wall come through in that moment you got that shot of Adam Duval he was pumped up when Forest Wall came through there because you know Duval wanted to get it done wasn’t quite able to his Fly ball would have been a home run in 22 of the 30 Parks that’s a very 2024 Braves factoid for you but very excited to see Forest Wall come through in the clutch for the Braves with two outs yeah certainly glad to see that Braves needed it again offense kind of struggling there and he had a chance obviously the Devol ball I thought it was going after the bot I thought it was a no doubter and you can tell by deval’s reaction he did as well I know the wind was kind of blowing left to right pretty strongly a little bit there but still just another one of the balls this year like you said it’s just kind of been the story of the 2024 bravs we we saw things start to change a little bit over the weekend but not so much here with this Devol shot and then you had Murphy up a great job even on that fly ball Riley tagging up going to Third and so you had a stands with Murphy at the play with one out he grounds out a third base it looks like maybe you’re not going to get it done those first two bats for wall didn’t look too great for him and even thebat where he got the hit kind of swung SLE pitches in the dirt but got one that was left up and you know with his speed you know really just need him to put the ball in play but he was able to sneak one through the hole there unfortunately got caught stealing after that but had already come through with the big hit yeah I mean and you’ll take the big hit obviously I thought he fouled off a couple of tough pitches to stay alive in that bat and eventually come through and that was a case where it wasn’t how hard you hit it it was where you hit it for Forest wall he got it in between the second and first baseman and on into right field to bring home Austin Riley who was able to tag on the Duval Fly ball so little things can be very big things and the Braves you know they’ll take all the runs that they can get and whatever it takes to make it happen I think that that’s a bridge worth Crossing if you’re the Atlanta Braves and it all worked out in this one let’s do talk about oie Al a little bit because obviously he had one of the big hits of this night as well talking to Brian sniker this past week and to figure out what was going to go on in the leadoff spot particularly once Michael Harris went down the opportunity goes to jar Jared Kellick and snit said I really was looking at batting Aussie second and if I you know was going to make any other adjustments to the leadoff spot I really don’t know where I was going to go but I like aie batting second and I didn’t want to change that this is a really good spot for him I feel like in the lineup sure he can lead off particularly against a lefty I think that’s a a decent platoon split to take advantage of and get him a little bit more but if if you’re batting second you’re already going to get a lot of plate appearances as it is just a good spot for him and as it happened on this night he was the right guy and the right spot of the lineup at the right time he was and you know again I think this batting order just it’s tough you take Ronald out of it I mean he is just the perfect guy to hit at the top you’re just there’s not many guys that are going to fit that description but I do like this idea that they have with KCK or you know when Michael Harris was there batting Aussie behind him but you know aie brings a lot of power I think Aussie can hit in a lot of spots in the lineup and be a fit wherever he’s going to be H but on this night you know he sat on that fast ball you sat there and watch Jared Kellick who clearly was looking for something else he had B before but you saw that Shelby Miller fastball just pumping them in there and I’m assuming that Azie saw that and said I’m gonna be on time for this fast ball he took a couple of hacks before that but then he got one and did not miss it and it landed at the top of the Chop House there was no wind knocking that one down he absolutely obliterated it and uh big swing there obviously to get the The Comeback win in the eighth inning you know wins like this you know again like you you said before we came on it wasn’t a 10- nothing win but you know still in games like this where you’re down you’re kind of struggling to get something going you get some runs late to come back you know that ises a lot for the momentum in the clubhouse to be able to pull out some wins like that yeah and it’s nice to be able to get those that late run scoring and not just tie the game but take a lead and then be able to close that thing out Joe jimnez was called upon to throw the ninth inning he gets his first save in a Braves uniform it comes against the team that he began his major league career with the Detroit Tigers I thought he looked great and seems like and I I’m sure it is the case you know Joe could probably look back at a couple of games this year that have gotten away from him in leverage situations but he has been far more good than bad I know that one in Baltimore had to kind of stick in his craw a bit so to come in blow away his old team and get a nice easy save that had to make him feel pretty good and the Braves I think needed somebody to jump in there because you can’t throw Rell in every single ninth inning situation it was great to see that from Jo himz to come back and you know get the save the bullpen which has been fantastic all year long they’ve been great but they’ve given up some big home runs here lately from a glacius on Sunday jimnez as you mentioned out in Baltimore Pierce Johnson as well it’s just not like these guys we don’t see that a lot H but Joe jnez you know for the most part as you mentioned he’s been fantastic to come back and do it against his old team pick up a save there I’m sure that felt maybe a little bit better but either way just for him to come out there and close the door I mean really no stress great play by Matt olssen to begin that ninth inning as well thought that was a great back play and a nice feed to himz who covered there to get things started and not allow the leadoff Runner to get on and then after that it was just closing the door for Joe himz a great outing for him yeah nice and easy it seemed like for him and he seemed to be a bit pumped up just based on the radar gun readings that we were seeing and this was the reliever that the Braves felt like they were getting when they traded for him coming off that back surgery a year ago it took him a while to seemingly kind of maybe loosen up or warm up or whatever you want to call it just get over that procedure he’s been extremely good since coming over in that TR and particularly from the second half on and one of the Brave’s better and more important relievers this year a big reason why they resigned him over the course of the winter we got a lot more to talk about including the heroics of Austin Riley who was added again in this game continues his hot hitting and we got to talk about what Max freed had going on in this night a little bit more about that Braes Bullpen because it wasn’t just the guy who threw the ninth there were some really important outs that were gotten before he jumped into the game we’ll talk about all of that as the Braes

Braves who improved to 39 and 31 on the season two runs on seven hits no errors for Atlanta four men left on base for the Braves Tigers dropped to 34 and 38 they’ve had a pretty good season I think and especially when you look at the recent years for them and we can talk about that a little bit more later but you can see there are some talented young players on this Tigers team but just one run on five hits no errors and eight men left AB board for the Tigers a lot of big pitches you mentioned were made by the Braves in this game the win goes to da Bell Hernandez who was one of those guys fresh back up from Triple A he’s one and0 on the year and the loss goes to Shelby Miller as he gave up the home run to Azie alz a save goes to Joe Jimenez his first of the Season home run by ozie alz was the blow that put the Braves on top but before we get into the max freed of it all I do want to touch on Austin Riley two more hits two more extra base hits at that they didn’t leave the park but a two for three day and now just since coming home from Baltimore Riley has raised his batting average 23 points Jake that’s a pretty good three days excuse me four days worth of work it is and again we’ve seen it from rally before he can get on these stretches and just get extremely hot and it’s been coming it’s it’s long overdue for him but you knew it was coming at some point but just some great at bats in this one I mean be able to pull an inside pitch down the left field line for a double there put himself in scoring position like I said the ability to tag up there on the ball from Duval which you I’m going lie if I’m a base runner I’m probably already starting my Trot I thought that was that deep so the heads up ability by him to go back and tag up and get to third there and eventually score that game tying run so great to see this for Austin Riley finally getting the results and suddenly you look at this lineup and I mean it’s 741 Ops 718 13 804 712 I mean it’s not everybody in the 800s but those numbers are starting to come up and starting to look more like the top of the Raves lineup you expect yeah it definitely is even the names are not exactly what you expect as you look at this Braves batting order Jared Kellick was one for four in this one a one for four night for a Al’s the one hit the home run one for four for Ozuna Matt Olsen did not reach base or excuse me was 0 for three with a punch out in this one and Austin Riley two for three in this game and Forest wall of course had a rather big hit the other hit belonged to Orlando arus so some hits up and down the order even though it wasn’t quite the quantity and the bravs weren’t able to put up a bunch of crooked numbers they scored when they needed do and they got the job done late Max freed meanwhile was on the mound for the Braves in this one five and a third innings for him he had to work a little bit harder had some U spots to get out of some big pitches he needed to make ran into some trouble there in the sixth inning of course and had to come out but four hits three walks one earned run six strikeouts for Max freed who did not factor in the decision but certainly kept the prise in this game yeah he did and it’s one of those nights where he just had to grind it out it felt like for both pitchers for me it was a tell of of two half in different ways for Max freed first three Innings I thought this could be a complete game for Max freed he looked completely in control he was dominating and the first three innings for ree Olsson brav out some runners in scoring position it felt like they were going to get to him they just couldn’t get that big hits and then once he settled in I thought he threw an excellent game tonight in front of his a lot of his family there from from where he’s from in Georgia as well but for Max Reed like I said that fourth inning really you know he loaded the bases there he really started to struggle uh with command you could see it slipping and really from there on it felt like it was just a struggle for him to really get back under control so you know for him to be able to kind of battle through that at least pitch into the sixth inning for you but I clearly had just lost the feeling for you know a lot of his pitches mainly his curveball you could see him getting visibly frustrated he just was not able to get that curveball over when he needed to so you know unusual night for Max freed but you know if an unusual night is five and a third and just one earned run you’ll certainly take that yeah no way more times than not you will and he’s given the Braves way more than that more times than not as well yeah tip of the cap though to Olsen on the other side re Olson six scoreless Innings eight strikeouts no walks just four hits allowed and he was a guy that had started off the year extremely extremely hot on the mound I believe it was 10 starts 12 earned runs then the last three starts came in he gave up 17 earned runs so his ER had really jumped but he lowers it back down a little bit with six scoreless Innings against the Braves in this one but uh we got to talk about the Atlanta Bullpen for as much as Max freed put the Braves in position and kept them in the game allowing just the one run over five and a third Innings what else can you say at this point about Jesse Chavez because this guy in a Braves uniform is just it’s almost an Unstoppable force and it’s an inevitability that he’s going to come in and throw you some big Innings and get some big outs for you one and two3 scoreless couple of KS lowered his ER to 121 on the season that’s not a typo it’s exactly what he was doing a year ago he’s just doing it at 40 Jake and he is I guess as you could say when he puts on a bra’s uniform this man is just living his best life he is I mean it’s great like you said I don’t know what else you say about it at this point it’s just really unbelievable what he’s able to do in a Braves uniform he comes in in a big spot there with two Runners on and gets a couple of Strikes Out strikeouts goes full on both of those batters maybe gets a little benefit of a call on one of them uh you know but either way comes in and gets a couple of of strikeouts to end the threat there even after a bulk that set up second and third there with two outs he he gets the the punch out to end the inning comes out throws another just CL inning nothing to it really it’s just amazing the story of Jesse Chavez you know we talked about all these great stories in baseball we talked about gr Holmes and Forest wall you know Jesse Chavez I think is just one of another one of those great stories that the Braves have but should really be a national story I know they were trying to pump up his All-Star resume tonight on the broadcast I don’t know if that’s gonna happen but it’s just it’s truly remarkable what he’s able to do at 40 years old and only in a Braves uniform well he keeps going out there and throwing scoreless Innings and piling those things up stranger things have happened and maybe getting added to the pitching staff by the time it’s you know it comes into full form and you figure out okay who’s available who’s not available who’s going to step aside I mean it certainly possible and I’d certainly love to see it I know we talked about it a lot a year ago before Jesse went on the I for the better part of most of the rest of the season but he worked his way back last year he wanted to give it one more shot this year thought it was going to be in Chicago the white socks had other plans and clearly they’re not folks who really great plans so Jesse was able to come on back and rejoin the Braves they’re glad to have him and I know he’s glad to be back as well Atlanta over this course of this home stand and really dating back to the finale against the Orioles has shown a lot more life we’ve talked about a lot of the offensive strides tonight just felt like a good high energy game especially with the way that it finished that the PRS were capable of doing that kind of thing you know timely hits the quantity of the homers that we have seen on this home stand as well you know it can be a little bit of both and as I said earlier you know it doesn’t have to be a slugfest the Braves finding ways to win feels a lot more like the club that we were expecting to see when this season began it certainly is and you know this is a team that has that capability with the pitching staff they have and the way that they’ve been able to throw the baseball you know they have the ability to go out there and win two to one three to2 types of games it’s you know been losing some of those games here lately just because the offense wasn’t able to give them two or three runs sometimes but the offense starts to come around I think we are seeing that a little bit even though I know wasn’t much tonight but even a lot of the bats tonight I saw were were still very good so uh you know they’re coming around a little bit but this pitching staff you know if that’s the way the Braves have to win games this year they’re more than capable of doing that and even you know the they’ve had to spread out this rotation as well try to keep guys healthy and fresh and they put in other arms and it’s just you know it’s it’s a new recipe maybe we weren’t expecting coming in but again they’re just they’re able to do it with the starters they have and the bullpen I mean you threw out Jesse Chavez we talked about dael Hernandez they just called up your closer unavailable and they’re still able to pitch to this game only give up one run it’s just what we’ve come to see a lot from this brav team this year but I still believe with this offense and this pitching staff you know it just gives them the the a chance to win in multiple ways it definitely does you hit the nail on the head a lot of guys contributed on this night how about D Bell Hernandez optioned back down to the miners came back up because Hurston waldruff was placed on the ilil something we’ll talk about as we go forward but an arm that the Braves definitely like came in got into a little bit of trouble got himself out of it the ability to make those big pitches when he needed to you can see what the Braves like about him and perhaps you know nights like this and appearances like that will earn him the opportunity to throw in some more higher leverage situations and we’ll see because D Bell Hernandez certainly has the stuff to do that Jesse Chavez just has the I think the will to make things happen and he just doesn’t even seem shakable even with the bul that put the runners in scoring position he just kind of felt like all right well he’s going to shrug that off and get out of it that’s exactly what he did and of course jnez closing the door for the Braves in this 2-1 win we’ll come back we’ll talk a little bit more about what the Braves did with tonight’s win what they’re looking ahead to do in game two of the series Hurston walri hitting the I we’ll talk about that and Spencer swellen boach another opportunity as the Braves and tigers continue their series it all

actually played extremely well an inter league play this year 18- 10 now against the American League and they’ve been on quite a run of these Al clubs it started at the open of the month finishing that Series against the Oakland Athletics they’ve also seen the Boston Red Sox they’ve seen the Baltimore Orioles one of the best teams in baseball and then you go over the weekend with the Tampa Bay Rays now the Tigers the Yankees are waiting on them when they hit the road this is quite a run of non-national League competition that the Braves have been on here in the month of June yeah it feels like the old times an inter league play where you’d have you know a month stretch of just playing uh the other league but you know interesting to see some of these teams obviously that you know you don’t see a ton of and get to see some of them in Atlanta like you have here the Rays and the Tigers talked about the Tigers a a good young team I know we discussed it coming in a team with some really good pitching as we saw tonight some really good starting pitching uh so it’s fun to kind of see those those teams again especially if you’re you live in Atlanta and you get to see some some guys you know Riley green a guy they pitched around this we talk about that in the desell Hernandez inning but a really good young hitter for them that the Braves intentionally walk to help days will get out of that inning uh so some fun guys maybe some guys the r will trade for at the deadline a name like Mark canah I think could make some sense as well brav sa and this one who had a double uh in the game off dable in that same inning so uh you know I was somebody that was I’m I’m a little bit old school myself I didn’t really love in League Play but now it’s kind of neat to see some of these these teams and names that you don’t get to focus on too much yeah I guess we’ve kind of reached the point where in League’s been around for about 20 years so I guess we’ve just kind of accepted it really more than 20 years what 25 almost wasn’t it 1996 when inter league play came into being I believe you can fact check that if you want to I could be completely wrong which is okay every once in a while I am but I feel like it does add a little bit to the game and clearly the fans have enjoyed seeing it but having grown up on you know the World Series is the only time that these clubs are meeting other than if they play in spring training there a certain Allure to that but the game it will always continue to evolve the Braves meanwhile have evolved their plans in their Rotation by going the six-man route but that kind of hit a speed bump over the weekend because Hurston waldrip he was roughed up and his start against a Tampa Bay Rays then reported after the game a little bit more than normal amount of elbow soreness he was placed on the iil with elbow inflammation it sounds like it’s nothing major that he will resume throwing sooner than later but either way for walri we knew and we already talked about this a lot yester yest this was a pretty aggressive promotion for him clearly the Braves wanted to get another reliever up for the time being with d Bell Hernandez but Spencer swach will continue to get opportunities and he’ll be on the mound against the Tigers in game two I guess you expected walri to go out and be optioned and get back to work but hopefully Jake he’s avoided any kind of major injury scare because the Braves they don’t need any more of that they certainly don’t sounds like it’s best case scenario there just some elbow elbow inflammation and he could begin throwing in as soon as a week so hopefully not much of a setback there and then I assume when he’s ready he’ll get option back officially to Triple A to continue to work on things and develop and could be a pig Beast for the Braves and as the season goes on whether that be as a starter or you know potentially in the bullpen as well we saw him be able to get through a lineup pretty well the first time through in both of his starts so maybe that’s something we see for him later this year yeah well there you go I fact checked myself inter league play began in 1997 so for those of you who were looking for the correct date for your trivia wherever you may be whenever that may come up you’re welcome yeah hopefully Hurston waldrip is not going to have to you know be down for very long and you mentioned the work that he’ll do to continue to develop and that will be taking place at Triple A for the most part I would imagine once he is ready to go again Spencer schellenbach aiming to follow up a really good start his last time out his biggest test as a major leager I know he’s only had three starts but Jake that Baltimore lineup was no joke six Innings a two-run ball though last time out and now he is on the mount at truis Park looking for what could be his first major league win yeah I would love to see that going up against the former number one overall draft pick and Casey M on the mountain for the Tigers but for schwellenbach you go up against the Orioles in that lineup and have the success that you did that has to be a huge confidence boost for him as a young pitcher who again was aggressively promoted but to know that you can go up against that team and be able to execute your pitches and get outs just let you know you you belong you can get it done your stuff is good enough to get outs at this level so hopefully that’s a huge confidence boost for him you can carry it in to this one we’ve seen great stuff from him you know the stuff that he has has some really good movement on it talked about the times maybe to many strikes at times has led to a little bit of trouble for him but he seemed to kind of figure that out and talked about it after his last start you know making some better quality pitches in those two strike situations so I want to see that continue it’s pretty favorable match up against the young Tigers lineup not one of the better off is in baseball but want to see him carry that momentum from Baltimore game into this one yeah second time on the mound at truis Park first since his major league debut against Washington a couple of weeks ago schwellenbach is 0 and2 632 erra he did get roughed up by the Boston Red Sox prior to throwing that gym against the Orioles last time out you mentioned Casey me the right he will be on the mound for the Tigers he’s one and four with a 443 it’s still a promising career out in front of him an overall a number one overall pick as you mentioned but sideline as so many pitchers are by an arm injury that slowed him down but if he’s able to get healthy he still J could be a big part of what the tigers are trying to build he is I don’t I don’t think he quite has the ceiling that he once did when he was drafted first overall with the injuries at this point but you know still as you said could be a very good big league pitcher a 146 whip this year though and that’s just a 6.6% walk rate that tells you he’s been giving up a lot of hits this year so hopefully the Braves can continue that T Trend not a lot of swing and Miss stuff although that splitter does have a 30% whiff rate it’s his best pitch that he throws hard for seamer which the Braves have struggled against for the most part this year so got to beware of that he throws at 41% of the time but batter’s hitting 307 against his four steamer this year so hopefully that offense can get back on track against Casey Meers yeah Braves will be very happy to keep the offensive trend of the past what five or so days
