Good stuff as usual Jake, my go to podcast for Braves...many great dives and discussions Braves. Don't agree with it all but its entertaining none the less and I hardly miss a show. So I'm playing catch up. Top 3 Good Surprises about the 2024 Season So Far: 1. Marcell Ozuna 2. Reynaldo Lopez/Sale - Can understand to a degree not being sold entirely on Lopez early on. Weve seen certain 2 pitch pitchers named Bryce Elder have a sucessful 1st half of a season then followed by immediate regression. But ive liked what ive seen so far. Has had some trouble closing out the 5th/6th... love the workload management and slowly stretching him out...Sale its great having another Elite Left arm. Hes been great. 3. 3 way tie A. Jared Kelenics Defense B. Acquisition of Adam Duvall C. Travis Darnaud. 3hr Night, calling some great games.
The Phillies have only played one team with an above .500 record this season. Guess who that was? The Braves the first series this season, and we took 2 of 3. The Phillies are also clicking on all cylinders, whereas the Braves have played subpar. Patience friends
Let’s just pump the brakes on all this panicking. Do you realize the Phillies have played 3 games vs a team with a winning record. They’re 1-2 and that team was the Braves. The Braves have played almost every first and second place team in baseball so far. They’re fine
@@andruwc2121 No people like you just cope 24/7. "It's okay guys we're only a week in" "It's okay guys we're only a month in" next it'll be "It's okay guys it's only the all star break, they'll pick it up!"
Being surrounded by so much talent and being in such a crazy good lineup seems to really help these guys come in for small stretches and really succeed. I heard Vaughn say it last spring “it makes it easy to hit knowing that even if I strike out 5 times these dudes will still put up 5 or more runs.”
Last night was the proverbial “ one of those games”. We still won the series with the Cubs. I hope the day off will be helpful to Acuna. Our offense continues to be anemic with the exception of Tuesday game when we scored 7 runs. Certainly different from last season.
The bad part of that is if the Braves had played the same teams recently as the Phillies they would have lost a good portion of them. So that’s not a good excuse.
Murphy is coming back at the perfect time. Travis should play all but 1 game while murph is on rehab and then murph can come back and give him a break about halfway through this stretch. Other than ozuna td has been our best hitter, I’m interested to see how the pt is distributed once murph comes back.
Let them worry about the Phil’s. Look at who the Phillies have beat up on. 3 games so far vs a team with a .500 record or better and are 1-2 and that team was the Braves
1-4 have produced very little, and show no signs of getting better anytime soon.Most unwatchable winning team I’ve ever seen.Its Hopium to think they might be better off as a WC Team. Wasting last years historic offense still stings.
Do you think Kerr pitching 3 innings last night was because they're optioning him or were they seeing how he did pitching multiple innings if they outright Stephens? Kerr gives them more upside than Stephens but I wouldn't be surprised if they choose the route that keeps both.
Philly will not keep this pace up for 162. The braves have proven since the World Series that this is a 100+ win roster no matter who slumps, gets hot, is injured, or healthy. Atlanta had their worst stretch in years and the Phils are hotter than they’ve been in decades. I hope losing the division lead has been a kick in the pants and it seems it has for the pitching staff. I’m 1% concerned, you never want to lose the lead but there a ton of games left.
Another thought on Philly… take away Nola, their ace, and Bryce Harper have the worst start in his career. Would they be within 3 games of the braves? That’s what Atlanta has been dealing with.
Running mouth from his Mommas basement coming off an L and with worse record than the team u r talking about lol. Keep up the great work mouth breather!!
We’ll be at game 3 on Sunday. I feel good going into this next series. I’m not as concerned about this team as I was a few weeks ago, the boys are heating up and we’re still winning series. Charlie had a bad night, okay onto the next one. We’re not done yet, go bravos. 🤚🫱🤚🫱🤚🫱
Nice episode loaded with interesting information. Thanks Jake. GO BRAVES !!
Not panicking still believe Braves will win.

We played vs the literal worst team in mlb history and lost this season. We dropped a game to the fking white sox man.
Agreed, it's 162 games. Braves typically take a while to get Hot.
@@bullythebooks yea it’s baseball and that happens lol. Some of you guys obviously dont understand the game

@@bullythebooks You really need to take a breath my guy

How is it that Elder keeps getting matched up with opposing team's aces lol poor guy
Great show as usual
Go Braves!
Last night was the proverbial “ one of those games”. We still won the series with the Cubs.
I hope the day off will be helpful to Acuna.

Phillies have been playing bottom teams that’s y they are up! Braves have been playing top teams! Phillies will eventually fade I’m not concerned
The bad part of that is if the Braves had played the same teams recently as the Phillies they would have lost a good portion of them. So that’s not a good excuse.

Soroka has been so bad
Honestly sad to see, hate to see a promising career get snuffed out like that
yep.bully the books 📚 I feel the same.
It's not the Braves' fault the Phillies keep winning..
I know it's difficult but I'd like to see Forrest Wall get a chance in the line-up.
I recently saw a locked on Dodgers podcast. They are under the opinion that the team they are most worried about is the Phillies not the Braves
Let them worry about the Phil’s. Look at who the Phillies have beat up on. 3 games so far vs a team with a .500 record or better and are 1-2 and that team was the Braves
I'm not concerned with the braves winning the NL east
EveryDayer here...GoBraves!!!
The players play better here because they're brought into a winning atmosphere, imo
Charlie wasn't his best but it was more good luck for the cubs than them just crushing him.

That's it man, it's all ya can say about last night...just one of those nights...move on to Friday.
Everydayer here..looked like we were just happy to win the series last night, nothing really good happened
Dodger fan here!!

Running mouth from his Mommas basement coming off an L and with worse record than the team u r talking about lol. Keep up the great work mouth breather!!
