Show #498: Braves Are Pushed To A Game 7

You're listening to Atlanta baseball talk, your weekly podcast for all things at Atlanta Braves. Welcome to Atlanta baseball talk show number 498 today's Saturday, October 17th, 2020. My name is Steve. I'm joined by both Hamming and Curtis and folks. Please help out the show by telling your friends, sharing links and writing reviews. If you do, we are not all gutted, depressed puddles on the floor tomorrow

during tomorrow's show. I mean, seriously, oh God. But that's not going to happen. This is why this is good. Now you go because this is a first in all of our years is that we are recording a second show in the same day. That is true. You know, since we did record it 1 a.m. last night. Yeah. There's lots of. There is the famous lost ABT

episode. That is true. That is true. But two that made the air. Right. Yes. Ham, you were saying? Oh, just saw the. How we're the potential to feel so amazing tomorrow and also how you characterized it is. Is why we do this, you know, why we love sports so much. Damn it. Yeah. No, it's true. And I have to say, um, I don't know. I don't

know if this is I'm going to say it now. It still feels different this time. It doesn't. This doesn't feel like never to me has this felt like, Oh, God, here we go again. Right. I don't. I'm not going into tomorrow feeling like that they're setting us up to just that this just does not feel that way. I'm nervous as hell. Um, but I do. This

is different this time. Yeah. Ham, I'm told you with you. This does not feel like say mole brain. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not going to say that. Yeah. It's growing it up, you know, um, and this is. And so yeah, but God, but God, I'm a wreck. I don't know. Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm not footloosen fancy free. No. Now, Ham, I will tell you this

a large number of people on Twitter who do not feel the same way that this is not just the same old braves boy. A lot of that on Twitter tonight. It's hard to shake that. But, um, it's just not. It's not a credit. To them to say that, right? Like this tea like for, but this is probably wrap up show stuff. But for these guys to

fight like this into for mentor to have the game, even though we lost and for Wilson to come out there and for freed and just for the timely hits and like. These guys have worked so hard. They're just not part of that right into sort of hang that on them is not fair to them. These guys are have just as good a shot of wanting tomorrow

as a Dodgers. It's like, well, we're here, you know, two of the best teams in the nationally going at it. It's anyone's game tomorrow. And that's how it should be. And, you know, that's baseball. And they earn there right here. They're not part of anything, but who they are right now. Yep. I'm with you. Yeah. All right. So guys, because it's why we're here. And we

kind of have to game six of the NLCS and we'll break it all down. But first a quick break. All right. So no real news prior to the game. We knew the starters. Freedom, Bueller, all the regulars in the lineup. So let's walk through the game. So top one. And it's eight entire pitches. Blow. Yeah. I mean, it was really like in the in the blink

wrong. That it was on first pitch for both guys. No. No, is that all the wrong? I don't think I think we had like I think Sager. Oh, first pitch to see her and a turner. Yeah. I thought I thought it was too short. Strikes on C. I thought because I thought he started up like because he knew that I may be conflating at best. Yeah.

I don't feel like it was first pitch. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Perner Homer, Muncie walk will Smith single. It's first and third. Belinger single three zip. Like and that really wasn't the blink of an eye. This had the sickly roller coaster feeling of what has become the signature braves first inning. Yeah. At this in the post season. Well, in all the danger that freed and Anderson at

all have worked around these first innings that they escaped so magically in the past. Like the biggest game of the year. Freed walks into it. You know, seven pitches in and we're down three to nothing. Yeah. Yeah. No doubt. But then freed finds his footing a little. Pollock flies out her nanda. It does flies out. It is 24 pitches actually seem like it would have been

more. But freed is not locating at all. No. Missing all over the place. And his curve ball is really flat and. I mean, it is not looking good. And, you know, fierce angry freed face was more sweaty. Oh, my God. What's happening here? Freed face in the first inning. It's what he looked like against the Marlins. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Um, so big inning, uh, big

inning here, big sort of momentum that was not to be. So the four, five and six hitters all single. All, you know, um, all hit singles. Dar no off Kiki's glove. Ozzy goes opposite field. Dan's be single. It's bases loaded and no outs. And then Riley's right. Hey, we're getting right back into the game. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. No. And we're going to be in the

first inning. We've got, you know, we're maybe even, maybe even Bueller on the ropes. Riley strikes out. Markega strikes out looking. And I want to, I want to talk about this one first. Because it was so horrible. Is it was so horrible. I mean, look, I get that it was a hundred miles per hour, but it was a hundred mile per hour fastball right down the

middle. Markega's did not offer at it. Like what was Markega's looking for? Well, he, the first pitch was also 97 miles an hour right down the middle. Took watching looking. So two of the strikes that he took were, you know, when fastballs right down the middle from a guy who was throwing fastballs, the basically 80% of his pitches, 85% of his pitches early on from Bueller

were fastballs. And at, at this point, aren't, if your Markega's don't you just gear up for fastball every time and just hope it's not something else. Because you've just seen the pitches. You've seen the pitches that are coming your way. You cannot sit on cutter. And I know he hit a triple and scored the run. So I'm, you know, whatever. And tip your cap. Whatever. But

we banned that statement. Sorry. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But that first at bat, it's just he, it was embarrassing. It was, it's a great word for it. Yeah. So no runs were to the bottom of the second. And the brain ball is still not sharp. But some order is restored, right? Barn strikes out. He hangs a slider to bet. He hits a single. But then

he strikes out seeker. Was that the, yeah, I think that was the one that was up and in to see her where see her half swung. Yeah. Half swung turned his body around. It was really, it was, it was freed's best pitch up to that point. It's where we should be should have been pitching seeker all series. Up and in just like, you know, whatever. As

opposed to out over the middle. Yeah. Or just hanging down. Down and in where he just sit there and can turn it and go to right field. Yeah. Well, I want to jump back. Also, Riley needs to learn to sort of shorten up his swing and situations where he's got the bases loaded and no one out. He needs to not try and hit at home run

in those situations. And just try and put the ball and play. He did not have a great bet in that situation either. Yeah. His swing is too long and too slow. Riley, he has to look, he has to tighten up his swing when he's against the Dodgers. Yeah. He needs to make adjustments. Yeah. You know, it works. I mean, it has worked for long stretches at

times. But yes. In those certain situations. So, freed gets seeker to strike out, turn her to strike out. And it is a, it is a 12 pitch half inning. And free to sort of, you know, it feels like back on track. Top of the third, a whole bunch more of nothing. Our top three, Akunya flies out. Freddie strikes out as you knew, grounds out. And, uh,

Bueller is at 42 pitches. You know, the only good thing about the, the, um, the top of the second is we did get a, you know, Bueller to throw a few pitches. Um, after that ridiculous eight pitch inning. Um, so bottom three, Muncie singles. And then there's the throwover where, um, Freddie Tags him. And he's out. Right. And he's called safe. And then they challenge it.

So it's funny. Like as I was watching those replays, I never saw anything conclusive. Now Twitter certainly seemed to think they did. And you did too, Kurt. Yeah. They, so the first, they sort of showed a replay from the third base side. And the first one was a close up where you saw the tag and you could sort of see the top of his toe, like

barely, um, behind Freddie going to the back, which it looked like you could tell that he was out from that angle. Um, but then they showed a second angle where he was clearly out, um, where the tag was, his foot was still an inch. for two above the bag, what, when he was tagged. Um, but you know, I mean. Again, the, the, the, um, um,opers or

whoever the replay guys, they should not know what the call is. It's a stupid thing that they do because other. They never, I mean, they hardly everce overturn calls. And I think again, it's because they don't want the umpires on the field being made to look bad. So that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the place should be fed to New York and they should not

have any information. They should just be told, what did you think the outcome of this play is? Is he out or is he safe? And they determine it on that and then they come back because they have the views that can make that determination, which is the whole point of them doing that. Yeah. But that was my point. Like there was, it was not a big

smoking gun, right? And many of the angles you couldn't tell, they never overturn that scenario. Right. Unless it's just blatant. And it wasn't super blatant. And even with the braves blatant gets you about 30% of the time. Thanks. Right. But so, um, freed bears down. Will Smith strikes out, Belinger flies out, uh, Pollock grounds out. This is an 11 pitch inning. And really, freed has has

recovered at this point and is dealing like he is starting to locate. And, um, you know, he's not hanging pitches as much. I mean, he's just looking good. It's crazy that freed gave up four home runs to this point this year. He gave up back to back home runs to the Marlins. And he gave up back to back home runs to the Dodgers on Saturday. Yep.

So, um, more, more, you know, traffic on the base paths in the top of the fourth are no singles. Aussie strikes out. Dan's be singles. The Braille crushes a ball. But Belinger catches it. This is another momentum moment. Uh, Markega's weak contact back to Bueller. And, you know, look, I, I tweeted this a little bit ago. Um, the braves, look, the braves did not, um, did

not come through in a bunch of moments. The braves also crushed a bunch of balls. And the Dodgers made amazing plays three or four that stopped what would have been, you know, offensive, hopefully outbursts by the braves, you know, and that was one of them. Totally. Um, so, Kurt, you had, I think it was after the Markega's weak ground ball back to Bueller. I think that

was when you texted, how is Markega's still out there against Bueller. So, um, assuming we face a righty tomorrow, which, you know, we'll talk about it later, but it will probably be gone. So, um, are you not starting Markega's? Are you? Turning Camargo around and putting Riley and left? Well, I mean, I think that that scenario is different because Consulance fastball was not Bueller's fastball, right?

I mean, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. He's got that effortless high heat. He can get it up there pretty quick. Well, I, I mean, my concern is that Markega's is bad speed. He just can't compete against these guys anymore. It's racism. He just like, it shouldn't really be a concern. So much as a fact that you just know. Yeah. Right. He can't.

So yes. And Camargo, Camargo's got a very quick bat. You know, the, whatever that, that foul ball that he had a ton in a couple of games ago, I mean, he turned on a fastball as quick as he could. So, um, yeah, I, I don't like the Camargo at third Riley and left field option that that ends up putting us in. I still think that Riley

should play third and Camargo should play left. I'm much happier with that. That's a very bad scenario. But yeah, I do too. I mean, I die a little watching Nick Markega's habit bats in these games. I mean, even the triple that he got later was just such a seeing. I. Once he's playing off the line, it gets. It was just. You know, I mean, like, yeah.

Yeah. And God, the big moment has just continued to find Markega's when he's at the plate. At least at least. Camargo's going to go down. So. I mean, it's not going to be a bad swing. It's not going to just sit there and just get fooled. And he's going to have better at bats. Yeah. I mean, yes. And no, he's going to go down swinging. But

he's going to be from the left side. So his bat path is going to be all over the place. And it's going to be kind of sloppy. Now. Is there a better chance that Camargo may run into one than Markega's maybe. I don't know. I just. I mean, it just feels like such a black hole with Markega's. I mean, he had a couple hits and one

of these games didn't he? I mean, he has not been. As dreadful as we're sort of. Well, but a lot of that is because he's been on. He's been batting from the right. Right. I mean, which is. I mean, it's he's you know, he's quite different from the left, particularly this year. Okay. So where were we? So. We're kick us out the week. Right. So we're.

Yeah. Exactly. That is that is how low the bar has become. So bottom of the four. Fourth. Kiki grounds out. Barnes singles over Ozzie's head got Ozzie almost makes a great play there. Mookie walks on what was a strike. And then, you know, too on for Seeger. Right. Another huge moment in the game. We contact to the right side. It's and we get the guide second.

We get the first base guide second. It's first and third for Turner for Turner who grounds out. Another huge escape by freed. And he's at a very nice 69 pitches through four. So top five. Yeah. This was another one. Pasha flies out. Akunya flies out. Freeman singles. And then Ozuna hits what looks like it's going to be a home run. Or at least a double. And

then bats jumps and makes an amazing play up against the wall. And then Ozuna of what should be a hit. Yep. I mean, just another massive, massive defensive play by the Dodgers that kills some potential offense. I mean, another huge play by bats. Another game change and a game changer. But certainly huge. Yeah. Like the one last night. Yeah. So bottom five freed continues to deal.

Muncie strike out. Smith flies out. Belinger walks, which is absurd. Belinger. I should just really strike out every single time. More week contact. Pollock hits back to freed. And freed is at 85 pitches through five. And again, has not given up a run since the first. All right. So top six. Our no strikes out. And now another big play. This one solely on the braves. Right.

Ozzy hits a seeing eye ball down the first base line. Is running up the line. Muncie fields it. Tags him on the back. And as he's, you know, as he's tagging him, the ball gets loose. And Ozzy never just steps on first and runs into foul territory. Like they teach us in little league. So he's sort of meandering toward second. Bueller picks up the ball because

Ozzy should be, you know, is safe at this point. And tags him out. And Ozzy is gone. I mean, it was just it was bad. It was a lot. Just bone headed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Brain fart. Dan's be singles. He's now three for three, which is again, another one. Like Ozuna last night, getting happy footed on that Betts play. Right. Which kills you. Just sort

of that. It's, I don't know if it's, it's fun. I guess it is lack of fundamentals. But these little things kill you. Yeah. Yeah. No, both of those I would call that. Yeah. So Dan's be steered. We're roommate. That's right. Yeah. Absolutely. Dan's be gets to send in texts tonight. And then, you know, you or Bueller gets to, you know, right, you know, right back. Yeah.

Yeah. Game seven. Yeah. So Dan's be steals bad throw down to second. He's a third. Riley strikes out to end another possible rally. So Bueller is at 89 pitches through six. Bottom six still freed. Kiki grounds out. Barn single. Mookey hits into a double play. Free just through six. He's thrown 95 pitches. So top seven. Bueller is out. And you know, there was a lot of

conversation about it on the broadcast. Um, you know, on the one hand that Bueller was dealing. I mean, you know, was still looking quite good. The theory on the broadcast was that they're worried about his blisters. They don't want to push it. You know, they've been managing his pitch count. So, Bueller is out. Try and is in. Cakes leads off with that seeing eye triple down

the first baseline. I mean, so here's right. It was a 93 mile per hour cutter. So a much slower pitch than he's been seeing all night. And he, you know, it's 86.4 miles per hour off the back. He did not, you know, crush it. Now it was kind of funny. Just given how much grief he was getting on Twitter that he then leads off with that

triple. But as, as triples go pretty friggin lucky. Yeah. A week triple, a week triple. But I have to say when it happened, I was like, here we go. We got Bueller. I had the game. Trynans comes in. He obviously we torched him in game one. I was like, all right, we're going to get to their bullpen again because we've done it in so many of

these games. Markeke kissed the most unlikely of all and to get a triple on top of that to lead off the inning. I was like, we're going to tie this game up before this innings ever. No, I'm with you. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. Third. Dammit. And case. Well, sorry. Did you read DVR? This? Yes. No, I'm just I don't even know. You're you're following

on with Steve. Yes. Yeah. I was watching that Georgia Tech Clemson game one replay was so good. So then Akunya gets a hit. Akunya doubles. Also miraculous. I know. Seriously. I mean, Akunya's kind of falling off. Just dissipate. I mean, it's the worst you're looking for. Yeah. I mean, our offense surprisingly has been the thing that's killed us. The pitching has not led us to. I

mean, obviously the 15 whatever run game. It did. But it's been the offense today that killed us. Yeah. At least it's a homers. I mean, it's the Dodger homers. That's just that's been the story of the series. The games they've won. You know, and then another huge moment. It's it's it's still one out. Akunya at second. And Freddie up and look, Freddie's been amazing. But Freddie

strikes out. You know, I mean, we really needed to hit there. And then it was going to fly out and the. You know, the rally is over. So it is three one headed to the bottom of the seventh. Fried is back out there. He's at 95. Two, three and four are coming up. Seager one pitch one out amazing. You know, Turner walks. Muncie strikes out when

Max did not have a ton left. Like, I mean, Turner went to three. You know, I think it maybe went three one, but then he walked in. Um, I think Muncie was three two when he struck out on a ball that was, you know, above the strike zone. Like Max was on fumes at that point, but that was a huge. The Muncie strike out was huge.

Yeah. Um, so Oday in two out. And an amazing play by Dan's. I don't so if if Muncie, so who I guess that was Will Smith, probably, right, who just hits a scorcher. And Dan's be down to one knee makes us amazing play to end the inning. I mean, you know, quite a game by Dan's B today. Yep. Both sides used a little help. Yep. Excuse

me. So top eight by his in. Darnos strikes out. Ozzy pops out. Dan's B flies out. And it's really the worst. It's the worst possible outcome in the bottom of the eighth because this means seven eight and nine. It's coming up for the braves in, um, in the ninth. Uh, and that's exactly how it played out. So bottom of the eight got to keep it right

there. Chris Martin is in. Belinger hits it to what should be into no man's land. And then we rob a should be hit. Pache runs in and just makes a tremendous play. Um, so one out, Peterson single, Kiki fly out. Um, Rios is pinch hitting for barns and he walks. And so two on and again, like got to keep him right here. And Martin gets mooky

to pop out. And we are off to the, uh, the top of the ninth. Dodgers left 10 on base tonight. We left eight, but they left 10. Yeah. We went two for 11 with runners in scoring position though. Yes. Yeah. It's a difference. Um, so top of the ninth, you know, Roberts playing the long game in a way by bringing Kenley Jamsin in who looked good

last night and he wants to build his confidence again, you know. Sure. Um, and not to spoil this, but it works. Kirk. Well, I love that when I watched the Jack Peterson catch when he rolled onto the ground on really what was not even that tough of a catch. It all I could think of was like the little kid, you know, that catches the ball and

then rolls on the ground and make it look like he made a great catch. Well, I think it was a tougher catch than you describe it. And Peterson's not great in the outfield. Yeah. You know, it was more bad luck and Riley tattooed it. I mean, Riley really struck that ball hard. So, and I, you know, so first pitch out to Peterson, first pitch to cakes.

He flies out and they pinch it. But they didn't pinch it for Nick Marquay. But they did pinch it for Pache. Why do you not pinch it? Is it just the lefty thing? Like Marquay is is so bad. How do you not pinch it for him? But he got a triple because because he, you know, because you get righty against lefty. And because you don't take

cakes out for that because we still trust the cakes can hit right hand to pitching even though he really can't. But, but did it was, did Snickerd and I got watched the rest of the game. Maybe are the whole series. He was doing something else. Well, he's, I can go to the bathroom. He was filled out the line of card for game seven. Okay. So Panda

pinch hits for Pache and he flies out as well. And that's it, boys. We are on to game seven. Yeah. And that was the one stat I wanted to throw. Yeah. The braids were two for 11 with with runners in scoring position. Including the three singles where they had a guy on second. But it was such a sort of a. Well, it was right to, yeah,

right to, you know, was to left right in front of the. And it was Darno running. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. That was the killer. Was that the top of the second. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I know we let scoring a run from that situation. Regardless of who comes up. I mean, you know, you've got to get a. Sack fly. You got to get something out

of that situation. Um, let's see. I got two. We're on around bunting and all that kind of stuff. Who are you going to have? But Riley, Markekis Markekis. What is in it better for him to try to bump than what he does. Otherwise, unless he hasn't practiced bunting and, you know, all year. Yeah. And I mean, so the people does not seem like that's a given.

So just let him strike out. Just sit there and let him throw pitch. You might as well have freed bat. You hope that he hits the miracle triple. That's what we're rooting for tomorrow night. Have every at bat. Are you hope that he kind of has a. Fly ball that he can get out there and you can drive a run in. Or at least make it.

At least make the pitcher work. Yeah. Move them runner over. Just take eight pitches. Just make your at bat be eight pitches. Or, you know, five or more. But yeah, look, the top of the second, that was a huge moment. The, um, the bett's robbing Ozone with Freeman on that, you know, home run slash double. And then, um, and then Freddie striking out when Akunia had

driven in the first run and was sitting on second. I mean, those are really the three big moments of the game, you know, where things could have happened as opposed to like when, you know, seven, eight, nine were coming up. Yeah. I mean, it's, and we've not hit any home runs. I think in the last couple of games, is that right? Did we hit one yesterday?

I can't even remember. Um, and, you know, their bullpen has all of a sudden gotten super stout. So, um, but they're tired. I mean, try and probably would be pitching on three days, right? So, I mean, I know that they're bringing every all that they have. And we're bringing all that we have tomorrow. But these guys are tired. So it's a lot of work. Yeah, but

you know, look, we'll assuming assuming gauntlet's starts, right? We could see bruised our and you reiss. Um, I mean, there's a lot of really. Gonzalez. Gonzalez, right? We didn't see him. All right, guys, we'll wrap up tonight's game and look to game seven right after this quick break. best has been as good as anybody all year. Yep. And, you know, he didn't have it in game

two. Seems likely or more likely that he will. Right? He's been here now. He's got, you know, he's seen it. He's watched the Dodgers. A B's for all week like, I mean, I just think that Anderson's going to have a great game tomorrow. I just feel that. Anybody with me? I'm with you. I am to. Yep. It's just, you know, you just wonder like even I

mean, free that a great game today. I mean, you know, I mean, if you look at the grand total of that, he only really gave up a couple of hits and just happened to two of them went out of the park for three runs, you know. I mean, that stuff happens and you just hope it's not another one of these games where the Braves just cannot

take advantage of opportunities. That's the concern. I'm with Curtis. It's like Anderson is going to keep us in the game just like free did today. Right? He's not going to, he's not going to have a chile right game. The wheels are not, it's just, I don't, I just feel that in my bones. But he, you know, does he give up a little crooked number? Maybe early,

like two runs. Maybe that's it. I mean, I think I could see him giving up one run, two runs, but the Braves have got to hit. Right? They cannot only score one run tomorrow. Obviously. So look, right. We talked about this last night. Ham, you and I thought this thing was going to go seven. We've arrived here. It doesn't feel like I have arrived here. What's

that? I thought Braves and six. So you're the one who said, I'm the only, I'm the only seven game. Curse Dodgers and six. Right. I thought it would be seven games. It feels weird to be here because we were up three, one, right? It feels like we've squandered some stuff, but it doesn't really matter. We just have to win tomorrow. And it would be on brand

for this team to come through and have a, you know, a heroic come from behind win tomorrow or just put up a huge crooked number. I mean, you know, yeah. It's all very, very possible. This is a great team. Yeah. Anderson's been amazing. Absolutely. And even though, you know, it's not the Siroka team that we imagine that we would bring to this game seven. This, we

have our full squad going tomorrow, ready to go. Right. No, all pictures are ready to go. We have Ian Anderson who we, you know, we argued on the show would maybe be our guy to go to in a must win game, just because of his demeanor and everything. We're healthy. I mean, we missed you, but I think it's created this amazing opportunity for Pache, which I'm

glad it happened. Sorry, Adam. And I hope you heal well and get a great contract somewhere else. But like, I mean, you know, even though Pache is, is, it's sometimes been exposed. We're bringing our best team to this. We're fully healthy. And I'm, I mean, it's, it's exciting. I'm ready. And look, so Tuesday, when we faced Gonslin, yep, he went four and a third, three hits,

five earned, one homer, three walks, seven strike counts. You know, and so right, we already had success. We've seen this guy. All right. So guys, let's wrap up with this three predictions for tomorrow's game. Ham, I'll start with you. How many innings and runs given up? By Anderson tomorrow. I say five and two thirds. Oh, ham. That's mine too. And one run, one run. That's exactly

how about that? So glad I went first. What? What less fun prediction than yes? I have. You know, I have six and two. Okay. Six and six. Either of those. Yes. Seriously. If you quite on just, okay, he's score some. Runs offense. Continue. Seriously. Well, I was just going to say, I mean, it's, I feel like it's all going to come down to the first inning

again. And maybe not even like us scoring in the first inning. Them not scoring in the first inning. Yes. Yes. Oh my God. Just have a one, two, three first inning and let us all breathe for a second and let the team breathe. I'm totally with you. So, um, long time. I'm Twitter follower RB posed this question. I thought it was a great one. So thought

we'd discuss it here. Um, so Kurt, we'll start with you. How many home runs does each team hit tomorrow? Braves two Dodgers one. All right. I've got three for the Braves two for the Dodgers. Hammy. I have two for the Braves three for the Dodgers. Oh, hold on. Wait for the next question. This entire show is off the cuff. How could you even know what the

next question is? Um, all right, Ham. So you go, what is tomorrow night's final score? Brave six Dodgers five. Oh, guys, I don't think my stomach can handle a six to five. My stomach can't handle the 24 hours before tomorrow night's game. Much less what's going to happen during. I know. Oh, my God. Bam, I'm also just at a 90 yard touchdown against Georgia to go

up 27 to 24. So yeah, I've got Braves winning seven to three. My stomach could handle that. Yeah. Braves five to two. Oh, we're all calling it. Which I honestly now when I watch the Fox Sports MLB crew, I pray that they don't pick the Braves. I know. Ever since they started picking the Braves, I mean, started losing games. So. Yeah, I did not, you know,

I've seen, I've seen the Fox pregame the last couple of days. I actually did not see it tonight. So I don't know who they picked. Uh, Frank Thomas and Big Poppy both picked the Braves. Um, a rod staying on character as Jack wagon number one. Quit Dodgers because he clearly wants the Dodgers to win the World Series and is sticking with it. I would bet that

more than the majority of them will pick the Dodgers tomorrow. I hope so. I hope they all do. I hope they all do. I do, I do love that they've just like they all are like admitting that they have no idea what they're doing. Like that's, you know, that they're flummocks by the Braves and the Dodgers and it's sort of laughing at themselves because they basically

have picked wrong every time. Yeah. And they've acknowledged it. It's yeah. That has been some good stuff. Yeah. All right, guys, that is the show. Folks, we will be back tomorrow night, Sunday night to wrap up game seven. And, uh, talk about head into the World Series. Yes. We got this. We have got this. This is not, as I keep saying, change that we're changing the

tapes. We're switching the records. This is a new era of Braves baseball. It starts tomorrow. Yeah, no better way than to start with the trip to the World Series. Yep. Yep.
