Braves country baseball [Music] Casey At The Bat by Ernest Lawrence [Music] theer the Outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville 9 that day the score stood four to2 but with one inning more to play and when Cooney died at first and barrows did the same a Paul like silence fell upon the patrons of the game a straggling few got up to go in deep despair the rest clung to the Hope which Springs Eternal in the human breast they thought if only Casey could but get a whack at that we'd put up even money now with Casey At The Bat but Flynn preceded Casey as did Jimmy Blake and the former was a hoodoo while the latter was a cake so upon that stricken multitude Grim Melancholy sat for there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat but Flynn let drive a single to the Wonderman of all and blank the much despised tore the cover off the ball and when the dust had lifted and Men saw what had occurred there was Jimmy safit second and Flynn a hugging third then from 5,000 throats and more Rose a Lusty yell it rumbled through the valley it rattled in the Dell it pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon upon the flat for Casey Mighty Casey was advancing to the bat there was ease in Casey's manner as he stepped into his place there was pride in Casey's bearing and a smile lit Casey's face and when responding to the cheers he lightly doed his hat No Stranger In The Crowd could doubt to was Casey At The Bat 10,000 eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt 5,000 tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip Defiance flashed in Casey's eye a sneer cooled Casey's lip and now the leather covered sphere came hurling through the air and Casey stood watching and in a hotti Grandeur there closed by the sturdy batsman the ball un heated sped that ain't my style said Casey strike one the Umpire said from the benches black with people there went up a muffled roar like the beating of a storm waves on a Stern in distant Shore kill him kill the Umpire shouted someone on the stand and it's likely they have killed him had not Casey raised his hand with the smile of Christian charity great Casey's visit it shown he stilled the rising tumult he bade the game go on he signaled to the pitcher and once more the dun sphere flew but Casey ignored it and the Umpire said strike to fraud cried the maddened thousands and echoed answered fraud but one scornful look from Casey in the audience was odd they saw his face grow Stern and cold they saw his muscle strain and they knew that Casey wouldn't let that ball go by a again the sneer is from Casey's lip his teeth are clenched in hate he pounds with cruel violence his Bat upon the plate and now the pitcher holds the ball and now he lets it Go and now the air is Shattered by the force of Casey's blow oh somewhere in the favored land the sun is shining bright the band is playing somewhere and somewhere hearts are light and somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout but there is no joy in Mudville Mighty Casey has struck out Casey At The Bat Ernest Lawrence the published June 3D 1888 San Francisco [Music] Examiner hey Braves country

[Applause] together there's something I'll say there's something kind of about a kid that's never played baseball baseball is a beautiful thing it's more beautiful than an old park it's asymmetrical and quirky but even in a dome with artificial turf it's beautiful the way the field fans out the choreography of the sport the pace and rhythm of it the fact that that pace and Rhythm allows for conversation and reflection and opinion and comparison in right field the crowd is tormenting strawberries singing darl darl little roller up along first Behind the B it gets through bucker Here Comes Knight and the Mi win and there's a fly Ball Deep to left it's on it way there it goes and the yanies are going to the World Series Aon ground ball stabbed by folk he has it he underhand to first for the first time in 86 years the Red Sox have won baseball World Championship can you believe it it's a Pastime something you do it's entertainment something you watch and it's uh shared experience something you you talk about and read about but you can apply those same three criteria to other things what makes baseball special is that it's the best game that's ever been devised Smith corks want in to Right Down the Line it may go go crazy folks go crazy sure as G made green apple someday the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series a little bouncer slowly toward Bryant he will glove in czo it's and the Chicago Cubs win the World Series C GL what a lucky break the good Lord wants the P to win how can you not be romantic about baseball if baseball is about caring about loyalty and

fair is it zip boom bam it's gone Rama ding gong a three run shot and your Atlanta Braves have taken a one run lead a hanger a banger and she's gone baby there's a very peaceful thing it was created and played in pastures and Meadows there's grass there's Outdoors there's everything that people thought was American and feel about America youd get in a ballpark and it's The Wonder of walking through that dark tunnel and seeing a huge open space where men play the little boy [Music] game I believe in the Church of baseball I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones I know things for instance there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 Stitch is in a baseball I prefer metaphysics to theology you see there's no guilt in baseball and it's never born it's a long season and you got to trust him I've tried them all I really have and the only church that truly feeds the soul day in day out is the Church of baseball High Fly ball and the right field

complained never alibied he was never known to criticize a teammate or call an opposing ball player lucky he accepted his great success modestly and the many vicissitudes of his life in silence he was easy to like and hard to know New York World telegram if Walter Johnson and Christy matthewson had a Challenger for the title of best pitcher in baseball it was a troubled young right-hander named Grover Cleveland Alexander a Nebraska Farm Boy the son and Grandson of Alcoholics and one of 13 children he had honed his startling accuracy by hurling rocks to kill birds to help feed his family he was a minor league star at 22 when a short stops throw to first hit him squarely between the eyes he was unconscious for 2 days then stricken with double vision he kept throwing anyway and after months of Relentless work his vision suddenly and mysteriously cleared though he remained subject to epileptic seizures for the rest of his [Music] life welcome back to Braves country baseball first pitch on the way CJ abon is swung on knocked down the line into the glove of Olsen he'll step on the pillow one away Max freed 9 and8 with a 335 ER 228 opponents average against 138 strike outs 51 walks set to face the rookie Dylan Cruz Lefty righty matchup Max freed brings it 91 milph right down the pipe on the innercut it's on and one Braves nothing Nats nothing the 01 high in the zone called for a strike 0 and two so an 02 count Max fing comes set brings a way high ing curveball out of the Zone one and two Hill last start he had a hard time commanding that curveball let's hope this is not a a replay of just that the one two 95 High and inside two and two if you missed the news earlier Ronaldo Lopez to the 15-day iil after last night's injury the 22 change up just misses outside Full Count they brought Hernandez in to add to the bullpen but that won't be the last move they'll make this week on it the payoff pitch swing and that Ball's ripped into left field down for a base hit and it's a one out single for the Nationals good hard hit ball into left field one onone out trouble of Brewing already here in the bottom of the first here comes chapara the designated hitter he takes the first pitch down and in 94 mph for it's one and0 the one0 from freed kicks in fire swung on Chops it over to third it's going to be a five four three ining ending rally killing double play so just like that it goes Gio to the new guy bigio to Olen Max has a smile on his face we had to break TI it nothing nowadays y'all have Molly Cyrus telling you to buy your own flowers I support that that's great but I had Carrie Underwood telling me to slash his tires and his car catch a charge that's okay that's okay but he learned his lesson he can have that girl with her fruity little drink today we're going to talk about the career of Mickey Manel in almost two decades he compiled a lifetime Ops plus of 172 this puts him seventh best all time he won the league home run title four times and the league slugging title four times he hit 300 or better in 10 seasons he was a 20time Allstar had three MVPs won one batting title one triple crown and also won a gold glove he played in 12 World Series during a 14-year stretch mantle would helped the Yankees win seven titles in his career he is the only switch hitter to hit 50 home runs and he did it twice the 1951 old series manwood trip over an exposed drainage pipe while attempting to catch a flyball in 1969 it was determined that mantle had played all of those years with a torn ACL in his knee without having it repaired mantle finished his career with a 298 batting average 536 home runs 1, 159 RBIs and had 2,415 hits Alexander stormed into the majors in 1911 striking out 227 men for the Philadelphia Phillies in his very first season he would win 30 or more games three seasons in a row he pitched four one hitters in 1915 and 90 shutouts during his long career he was utterly businesslike on the mound throwing an arsenal of pitches with pinpoint accuracy game after game he'd pitch in an hour and a half a teammate recalled no fussing around no stalling no wasted motion even the men he struck out so consistently liked him between games he was modest good humored and kept mostly to himself but then he began to drink [Music] welcome back to Braves country baseball Matt Olsson the batter righty Lefty match up 25 home runs on the year takes a mighty hack at the first pitch on the one it's swing and a miss one ball one strike to Olen 81 RBI 757 Ops the 1- foul back one and two New York Mets one earlier today a colossal Collapse by Toronto the one two high and inside two and two Balden Francis that the Blue Jays had a no hitter going into the ninth inning so they let the the youngster go back out there and see what he could do he gave up a solo shot to Lindor they went and got green out of the bullpen and ended up unraveling losing I believe like last score I saw was like 6 to1 7 to1 is ridiculous the two two swing and a miss strike three blew it right by Olson slow bat one away one down and Orlando AR is batting fifth tonight righty righty match up first pitch on the way 95 outside wide one and0 the 10 brings it 96 off the plate two and0 Lando RC batting just 222 on the air 16 home runs not really the ideal number five hitter the two for Irvin the right-hander brings it swung on that Ball's hit in over to third coming in charging the play he'll get the slow footed Ria by about three steps Vargas to yepez two down see someone asking C Mark's asking is bigio Rel yes bigio is uh the son of Craig bigio he's been a bust he he at one point was one of the top prospects in baseball originally a Toronto Blue Jay they kicked him over to the Dodgers earlier this year and the Dodgers released him pretty early he's kind of bounced around this year the 10 outside wide 2 and0 of course Craig bigio the Hall of Fame second baseman of course he was always surrounded by controversy with the peeds him and the rest of the Killer Bees in Houston the two- swing that Ball's lifted into left field that Ball's going back on the track making the running catch is wood speaking of peeds lauriano flies out to end the inning will'll head to the bottom of the second the middle of the order do up for the NS this guy looked at me and he said B12 and I turned around and looked to see if he was even talking to me and I just went huh and he was like oh my bad I thought you was a vending machine because you a snack and I was like bro your card has been declined and he was like see that's the thing about Venom machines sometimes you have to bang them a few times and get your money's worth that reminds me I dreamed about your sister yesterday my sister yeah what do you mean dream what kind of dream a sex dream oh that's my sister we're talking about you're having sex with my sister in reality but that's my wife I got a contract with the priest you're having prematal sex dreams I did want to touch upon a couple things but one major thing Kate you were Mia all all day yesterday you were offline I didn't see you in any of the meetings I needed you in where were you it was Monday yeah it was Monday which is a work day no it's winter so like summer Fridays we get winter Mondays you guys you know what clearly team building exercises is not working and I'm up to my wits end future Hall of Famer Albert puol pitched in a game for the first time in his career his pitching debut came in his 20988 career game which breaks the old record by over 500 games Adam way W and yachty Molina together they broke the record for most wins by a battery in MLB history with 203 wins together the greatest competitions I think in sports is the pitcher and the hitter now I'm I'm I'm I'm going to hit this ball see right now I'm going to be better than you and this picture saying the same thing I'm going to be better than you at this particular moment this is in the in a preure situation so and you are competing and it's nobody can help you nobody can block for you in this uh-uh you got to do it on your own welcome back to Braves country baseball first pitch on the way from Max freed to the left-handed bat of wood is right there for a strike it's own one Lefty Lefty matchup the 01 looked like he went around he did as the ball Dove down towards the bottom of the plate 0 and2 so it was inflammation should there's no structural damage on Ronaldo Lopez that's the good news is the O2 down and away one and two the bad news is best case scenario he would not be eligible to come back until September 26th which would be the final series of the Season missing the Mets series altogether the one two swung on Chopped over towards first Olson's got a hustle he'll get there in time one away or excuse me I guess in theory if he comes back on the 26th he would be available for the final game of the Mets Braves How likely that is that's another story but in theory he could come back on that Thursday first pitch on the way 94 inside it's one and0 we went over all the different possibilities last night so I won't do that again to you but uh essentially you're going to see all Hands-On deck the next few few weeks the one0 inside two and0 two count the there hasn't been much of any talk about Aussie other than everything's going fine but to put a lid on that is the two swung on lifted into left field that ball is down for a base hit smokes it up against the wall here he comes rounding second he got him gunned him down great throw by lauriano if you don't know you better ask somebody that man was a center fielder a right fielder Gold Glove calender Cal and he guns down the runner trying to stretch it into two that was a perfect play off the wall he had no time to get there showing the replay a few times but he definitely great tag applied by the way by bigio right on the front foot first pitch on the way that ball is slapped into left field down for a base hit it's a two out single for T that kid T continues to be a very good base hitter so that throw by lauriano is already saved a run for sure because that ball right there would have been deep enough to send the runner with two outs Lefty righty matchup now Riz you got to watch him he can go yard first pitch on on the way 93 on the Outer Edge it's 0 and one the 01 kicks and fires swing that Ball's laced into left field that Ball's going to get up against the wall Here Comes Lano firing the ball into the infield they'll hold up the runners but you got Runners on second and third and Max freed is getting slapped around he's getting way too much of the plate on these last few at bats I mean that pitch was right down Main Street he's lucky Ruiz only put it up against the wall that's usually type of pitch that Ruiz sends out of the stadium so second and third still two out Vargas the batter first pitch on the way curveball top of the Zone on the Outer Edge it's 0 and one the 01 kicks and fires in the dirt ball gets away murf has to slide over there is Max freed covers the plate the runner will stay put murf was set up correctly to block it it just bounced off his chest right in the Bread Basket and bounced off the if Tena would have had a better jump he he probably tries to make it the one one swing chops it foul off his foot stumbling around it's one and two but as far as the Aussie thing they haven't said anything but at the same token this was the spot where they were saying they thought he would be back everything was going well well that evidently was was not reported right because here we are we we don't even have a an announcement on a as the onew swing and a miss strike three Max gets out of it woo we get out of that one we'll head to the top of the third more on Azie and the rest of the masch unit when we come back how'd you like to go out for dinner on Friday just you and me why cuz you're my wife I was your wife last Friday and we didn't go to dinner Mary I'm asking you on a date okay is that a yes sure all right then if you did something stupid I'm going to find out a minor league Prospect got cut from the Yankees for a very weird reason Jake Sanford was recently released from the Yankee system for allegedly stealing his teammates equipment and selling it online he's also alleged to have promised fans autographed items and never delivering Sanford was picked in the third round of the 2019 draft by the Yankees as an outfielder he was given a $600,000 signing bonus making the alleged theft even more weird according to Anonymous teammates Sanford would repeatedly hound them for their equipment or would just take it from their locker a rumor for this behavior is that Sanford may have had gambling debts I'm glad I played in the 80s because it was more that you you could feel and hold and grab and sometimes it be low on scoring games but sometimes you score 130 points you know so you didn't know going in what kind of game was going to be one thing i' learn about being on the job side if you're the one that walks around the fastest they'll think you're the most productive hitting alone will not win ball games I want speed on my team and I also want every man on the squad to know how to slide I intend to have my players taught how to run I don't say we will win any Penance but I do think that my systematic training will be laying the foundation of a pennant winner if this is Theory it is blamed good practical Theory Branch Ricky he was Leonardo and baseball he did everything he was artist and scientist and Genius of a million kinds he invented the farm systems he devised ways of playing the game of training players that had never before been considered welcome back to Braves country baseball Braves won last night 12 to nothing you know we talked about it last night but you're really hoping they would save some of those runs for tonight Irving goes back to work first pitch on the way to Murphy he right down the pipe for a strike it's 0 and one we're in the top of the third Irvin very low pitch count so far 27 the 01 swung on broken bat over the first base side they'll get the slow footed Murphy by a few steps stepping on the bag G3 in your scorecard one away Bray bats better wake up because the LA Dodgers are coming and they are starting to get fully healthy so we'll be seeing shoh and Freeman mook's healthy again first pitch on the way to the newcomer Cavin bigio nickname is Biggie so I got a feeling we'll be calling him Biggie Smalls he's a little guy the 01 curve ball right there on the innercut 0 and2 this year with Toronto and Los Angeles he hit 197 five home run runs in a 622 Ops so he'll fit right in with this Bunch the O2 94 inside caught looking strike three man Kevin siter got to him early he taught him how to take that called third strike to away our hit our hitting coach man he works wonders 94 mph fast ball unbelievable you just took that so two down J or shella first pitch on the way right down the pipe First Strike it's 0 and one the 0 one swung on fouls back 0 and two so an 02 count swinging a Miss strike three Jake Irvin's Cruisin taking to the Braves of school

drugs drinking gambling swearing just live the best life you could and then uh wind up in hell for judging those that did Branch Ricky graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University struggled as a catcher for a few years in the major leagues got a law degree but failed to drum up any clients gratefully turned to baseball working for the St Louis Browns one of the poorest teams in the majors he moved up quickly within the organization Scout club secretary and in 1913 manager Ricky was a genius at making do with less he approached his job scientifically introducing unusual calisthenics batting cages and sliding pits no ball player can learn to seal bases by practicing sliding into the sand fits I wouldn't ask a veteran to slide into a pit I don't think much of this Theory stuff Miller Huggins you're listening to Braves country radio your home for the classic call of Braves country [Music] baseball welcome back to Braves country baseball here on Braves country radio Max freed goes back to work the first pitch on the way curveball whoa way outside Murphy had to slide over there and backhanded the 1-1 young batting 257 with three home runs pitch on the way chop foul one and two onew count this the 23rd anniversary of 911 the onew brings it chopped down the Third Base Line just foul do it again one and two it's a little surprised that I guess they were playing the Lefty righty thing but little surprised that bigio wasn't the number nine hitter I mean coming in hitting bat batting 197 seven on the year and a terrible Ops like I don't understand why Gio's at the very bottom the onew from freed lifts his glove and brings it 94 on the inside track two and two and once again like I don't know what Ramone laurano has to do to get hit above Smurf and Aria but he gives much better bats the 2 two yeah HS the batter gives a free base away one on nobody out here in the bottom of the third young didn't do much to get out of the way he just kind of stuck his chicken wing out there and with all the padding that he had he'll gladly take first you got to keep an eye on young 31 stolen bases on the year first pitch on the way from free flips it over to first to keep young close by it's his first Move Young leaning towards first max uses his second move so now he's out of moves so there's that going on if he goes over there again he's got to either get him or it's a bulk Lefty Lefty matchup Max brings it the ball's chopped foul think it got a piece of Murphy he's kind of bent over for a second appears to be okay Mets have already won so they're a half game up on Atlanta let's again the man Toronto really spit the bit on that one no hitter going into the ninth and not only do they give the solo shot to to Francisco Lindor then then the relever comes in he can't get anybody out so the Mets have a half game lead on Atlanta as this game begins tonight Arizona also one going away last time I saw that was 14 to4 in late Innings the 01 for Max looks over it first brings it sweeper right there on the Outer Edge O and two so with the Wild Card Standings look right now the Braves are half game out of the final spot they they would tie it up if they went tonight they are two and a half behind San Diego in Arizona the O2 swung on lifted over towards second and that ball is going to be scooped by bigio cannot get it over to First in time and it's an infield single for wood I'm sorry Abrams dragged it over to the right side of the infield bigio had to make a sliding play not a very accurate throws a little high but I don't think he was going to get AB Abrams anyways Abrams beats it out it'll be a infield single runner at first and second now nobody out and you got to be aware of the double steal they've done it to before on Murphy we saw it earlier in the year with young and Abrams on they are not afraid to pull the small ball Dylan Cruz who's one for one digs in first pitch from freed sweeper on the Outer Edge it's 0 and one Braves nothing Nats nothing bottom of the third the infield is backing to the left but in double play depth the 01 to Cruz in the dirt one and one standing on Deck is the designated hitter number three hitter chaparo wood is in the hole Max freed 34 pitches so not terribly High the 1-1 swing ripped into right field that's down for a base hit Dylan Cruz now two for two against Max freed and it's one- nothing Washington 95 mph fast ball and it got all of the plate so Runners on the corners nobody out chaparo the designated hitter stands in first pitch on the way is a curveball gets a friendly call we'll take it it's own and one theo1 brings it in the dirt did he go around he did not one it one one- one count Max comes set kicks and fire swing that ball slapped over to third just foul hard hit ball just couldn't keep it fair well out in front one and two chaparo 0 for one on the day the onew brings it curveball swung on chop foul towards the third base Dugout will'll do it again chaparo grounded into a double play his last time up the onew swing and a miss strike three got him with the uncle Charlie down below the knees What a Way Big out number one that'll bring wood to the plate he grounded out to First his first time up Lefty Lefty matchup Max brings it 95 well outside wide one and0 the [Music] 1 yepez stands on Deck remember he's the one that hit that what would be double if it wasn't for rone the one swung on Chopped back towards the mound Max can't handle it would have been an easy flip to first but instead they'll either give it an infield single most likely with the but it's two nothing Washington ball was chopped back and Max weird shovel attempt to try to make the the play as he turned around just couldn't get a handle on it now you got Runners on first and second two nothing score and yep as the batter he smoked one into the left field Corner his first time up Ramone laurano threw him out at second first pitch on the way curve ball down below the knees it's one and0 the 1 curveball misses to two and0 20 count two nothing your score Max freed now at 44 pitches should have the majority of the bullpen that you could unload tonight because even with that game turning into a bullpen game last night we used the front end not the back end of the bullpen we have a day off tomorrow as well Max turns around and Spins towards first but does not throw but it will be counted as a move the 2-0 pitch 85 on the Outer Edge two and one Juan YZ one for one with a single and then Gunn down at second trying to stretch it into a double the pitch swing chops it back towards third again once again Max can't make the pl it's another infield single and the bases loaded one out goes any chance he has of a gold glove another just dribbler right past the mound and the the way he finishes off he's leaning too far to the right to his right heading towards Third Base he can't Corral it a double play could get you out of the jam but Max free does not look good tonight two nothing your score Murphy goes out there to talk to him but get still no sign from any of the coaching staff Bas is loaded one Out ta who's one for One Max brings it swung on chop foul curveball it's 0 and one Baltimore and Boston are scoreless in the second Yankees Royals are scoreless they're in the second the 01 swinging a Miss 0 and2 Braves are playing for the double play some bad luck Balls by hit on Max freden this ining normally you get those low contact balls they turn into easy outs instead they've dribbled into the infield the O2 curveball in the dirt good blocked by Shawn Murphy to keep the runners at Bay angels and twins 1-1 in the first later on tonight the Padres are at the Mariners that's a big game for the Braves they're trying to Chas down the Padres as well the onew swing and a Mis strike three to away so he struck out two in the inning here Max freed three strikeouts all day long but he's given up seven base hits though three of them have been dribblers he has given up seven base hits in just two and two thirds that'll bring Ruiz to the plate Ruiz doubled to left his last time up first pitch on the way curveball called it the sweeper up top on and one later on tonight if you're up late not only is the San Diego Seattle game going on you got Milwaukee at San Francisco and the Cubs are in Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers the 01 curve ball down and away one and one earlier today the Guardians beat the white sock six to4 Tampa Bay tra Trails Philadelphia 2 to one they are in the third Max steps off the rubber Bases Loaded two outs the one- one from Max swing chops it foul one and two Max now a strike away from getting out of this Jam Max Freed at 53 pitches this will be his 54th incoming the onew from freed brings it swing and a miss strike three so he strikes out the side but has hits Galore he's eaten onions and spot and dimes we'll be back in a Flash oh my God a promotion I never thought I'd see the day what are you

work I will not be here Veronica we're not done here good chat thank you bye bye hello hi is Mark there yeah it's me Shannon we met at Jack's party yeah how could I forget wow how you doing I haven't heard from you in uh 9 months armchair Brian Brian we can't hear you mute sorry I I'm a little perplexed because I thought this was our virtual happy hour so I don't know what right no this is our morning checkin this is not a virtual happy hour okay well I already opened it so I don't know what you want me to do with it now but we can both see and hear you so Amanda I think we need to get HR on the phone yep I totally agree um Kate you can actually hop off this call if you want drinking dot Ricky barred profanity and poker playing in liquor offered evening lectures on baseball Theory called skull sessions keeping a promise to his mother managed just 6 days a week leaving an assistant to take over for him on Sundays in 1919 the Browns cross town Rivals the hapless St Louis Cardinals offered him a still bigger job as general manager manager at Double the salary he would spend the next 23 years with the Cardinals and in the process profoundly change the game of baseball welcome back to Braves country baseball Michael Harris the second will lead us off Braves Trail two to nothing but it could be a lot worse Max fre has looked terrible so far if you're just joining us first pitch right down the pipe First Strike it's 0 and one the 01 hopefully he can get it together the next few Innings swung on fouled straight back it's 0 and2 Harris struck out in the first batting 245 on the air 659 Ops righty Lefty match up the o02 high and out of the Zone one and two standing on Deck is Solair in the hole Marcel Ozuna the onew for Irvin swings and brings it swing that Ball's lifted over towards third soft Line Drive L5 in your scorecard one away one down Jorge cair who's 0 for one comes to the plate first pitch to Jorge is 94 on the innercut it's 0 and one last time we saw Irvin he went five in a third Innings gave up two runs the the 01 downway one and one that was back on August 24th he also walked three Braves batters The 1-1 Swinging a miss one and two this is the third time we've seen him since June 7th where he went six Innings as the one-w foul back straight back will do it again he went six Innings of no earned run ball allowed just four hits he walked two in that we we met him in late may as well so this is the fourth time all year that we've seen Irvin and he's pretty much pitched the Braves well every single time back on May 28th he went six Innings of no ear of no run ball so onew count pitch on the way down and away two and two the hope would be more you see a pitcher the you know the better looks you get but PR have yet to crack that code the 22 way outside wide ball three three two fact that ball goes to the back stop the payoff pick pitch one down nobody on top of the fourth brings it outside wide ball four so Jorge cair works his way aboard good at bat by Jorge he'll head on down to First and Marcel Ozuna represents the tying run the Yankees are at home today it's a little strange that New York that the Mets weren't at home either you would think they would have both teams at home on the anniversary of 911 first pitch on the way to Ozuna 94 misses wide one and0 the 1 righty righty pitch on the way swung on hit over to short it's going to be a six four four three inning ending rally killing double play Ozuna swung at a pitch he never should have and he knows it we'll be back in a Flash bottom of the fourth we go trailing by two listen if you feed your kid frozen pizza or chicken nuggets for dinner you are a terrible parent I don't care what it takes you take the time out and you put that in the microwave today we're going to talk about the career of Rod Karu he made his major league debut April 11th 1967 had a career high five hits against Washington on May 8th 1967 on May 20th 1967 he became the first Minnesota Twins player to hit for the cycle all of these things happened in his first two months in the major leagues he was an 18-time Allstar he only missed one All-Star Game in his career in 1969 he stole home seven times only Tai Cobb has stolen home more in one season he hit 300 or better from 1969 to 1983 he never struck out 100 times in a season he won seven batting titles in his career and four straight from 1972 to 1975 he would miss out on a fifth straight batting title by 0.2 he led the American League in hits three times in his career over his 19-year career he batted 328 had 3,53 hits scored 1,424 runs stole 353 bases and had a 393 on base percentage he also won an MVP award in 1977 he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991 with 90.5% of the vote America's entry into World War I was very near in the spring of 1917 Millions had died on battlefields in Europe and Americans could no longer stand by baseball was eager to show that it was ready to do its part ban Johnson ordered teams to learn close order drill and the Washington Senators showed off their marching skill led by the athletic young assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Delano Roosevelt welcome back to Braves country baseball Max freed goes back to work first pitch on the way roasted over to third good play by Gia that ball was scalded L5 in your score card one down they are sitting Dead red on him tonight Gio didn't have to move much but that ball was hit right on the screws one down showing bunt takes a fast ball all the way up top for a strike it's on one young who got hit by a pitch his first time up probably looking to do the same he hasn't fared well against Max over his career but just trying to get on to cause Havoc the 01 down and away one and one so one-1 count chain J misses two and one freed swung on that Ball's chopped over to third RC has got it flips it to First 63 in your scorecard to away it's a pretty big play on the other end of that too because if Max could get a quick inning here not just getting a one two three but not having a long at bats he might be able to get himself right first pitch on the way to Abrams foul back for a strike its own one 94 mph fast ball the 01 from Max in the dirt one and one so 1-1 count Max brings it swing that Ball's lifted high and deep into center field that Ball's gone Max freed giving up another tater it's three nothing Washington got way too much of the plate ball was center cut about letter high and CJ Abrams shoves it over the center field wall his 20th home run of the Year 420 fet to dead center three nothing Washington CJ knew at the moment he swung at that I mean he just struck a pose first pitch on the way to Cruz there's a sweeper right there on the knees it's on and one the1 in the dirt one and one Cruz two for two on the night ripped one to left his first time up slapped one to right his second time up the 1- one swing in a miss one and two so one two count Max brings it curveball way high out of the zone two and two Max Freeds 67th pitch of the night we're just in the fourth inning swing that Ball's hammered over to third but Gio's got it fires it over to First and that'll end the inning Washington put one on the board it's three nothing we'll head to the fifth middle of the order do up so come to find out the barber that lives around the corner for me just got arrested for selling drugs you never know about people man I've been going to this dude for 12 years never knew he was a barber she crazy man here are some baseball facts you might not have known Craig bigio is remembered as a great contact hitter and one of the best Astros ever in 1997 he played 162 games without grounding into a double play becoming the only player to ever do that hunter green is an extremely exciting prospect for the Cincinnati Reds part of that excitement comes from his electric fast ball in his April 16th start against the Dodgers he threw 39 pitches over 100 mph setting a new record baseball had become one of the biggest entertainment Industries in the country and when War actually came in April the owners saw no reason to stop playing with an astonishing disregard for the new proprieties and new decencies the so-called magnates of baseball have proclaimed in both leagues their unswerving adherence to The Wretched fallacy of business as usual New York Times the owners argued that baseball should be declared an essential wartime industry so that players would be exempt from the draft it didn't work July the 21st 1918 baseball received a knockout wallup yesterday when secretary Baker ruled players in the draft age must obtain employment calculated to Aid in the successful prosecution of the war or shoulder guns and fight fresh recruits drilled on the allean fields in Hoboken New Jersey Where Brooklyn and Manhattan teams had developed the game of baseball 70 years before some ball players found jobs in defense Industries where they were paid handsomely to play on company teams but 247 Major Leaguers did serve and three were killed in [Music] action welcome back to Braves country baseball first pitch on the way swung on fouled straight back it's own and one Matt olssen 0 for one on the night Jake Irving with the no hitter going he has walked so the perfect game is gone the 01 swung on popped up high in the sky into shallow left field into foul territory Vargas makes the catch he was stumbling over his own feet but he held up a big grin on his face one away not sure what he was stumbling over I guess it was just gravity I don't know so one down ready ready matchup AR first pitch high and inside it's one and0 the one brings it swing chops it foul one and one the 1-1 pitch 93 outside wide two and one Braves will be off tomorrow then they head home for four against the Dodgers while the Mets travel to Philadelphia where they have been owned the last several years the 21 swung on Chops it over to third 5-3 put out two away the hopes is Maryfield could be back this weekend that was with the original talk I haven't heard any update on it so could just be another false report lauriano stands in righty righty first pitch to Ramone 95 inside it's one and0 the one0 Irving kicks and Deals 94 misses two and0 Irvin 56 pitches into the night we're just in the fifth inning so they're not working the count either the two pitch another wide one three and 0 he has been effectively wild Braves kind of bailed him out on a couple of favorable counts so lir did work a walk last inning the 3 0 94 misses high and wide given a bad strike call my God Ryan addon missed that one well out of the zone three and one Shawn Murphy stands on Deck the 3-1 swung on fouled straight back Full Count you can see it on the screen that ball was high and wide of the Zone on that three 0 the 3-2 swing hit hard on the ground over to short Abrams has it bad throw and it'll be an E6 as he is known to do CJ Abrams one of the worst Fielding Short Stops in all of BAS ball we saw it last series with Abrams where he kicked the ball all around the field they hold on to him because he's a great bat just terrible to glove so we'll take the free [Music] base wasn't exactly a great attempt by yepez either but I'm sure Abrams would tell you that he deserves to own that to wear that error Shawn Murphy the batter runner at second as the ball Got Away into the Dugout so they'll give lauriano the extra base base hit would cut this to a two-run lead the one to murf 95 below the knees called for a strike one and one one-1 count pitch high and inside two and one Washington three Atlanta nothing top of the fifth inning Irvin still nursing a no hitter the two1 swing lift it into left center field that ball is going to get easily caught Lazy Fly ball towards the warning track and that'll end the inning well the Braves get another one on but murf can't come through we'll be back in a Flash here on Braves country my daughter just asked me if she could turn the heat up in the house I told her hell no you better go grab one of them hoodies you had on when it was 100° outside I'm going to show you guys how to cook like a true Kentucky boy all you need to start is some lithium batteries and some psea fed [Applause] [Music] update my house is gone usually when somebody invites me over to their house and I drive by and see more than three cars I just usually go on home because I kind of feel like it could be an intervention MLB teams are required to apply a small dab of mud to the 13 dozen baseballs used during a standard MLB game every team has been muddying baseball since the 1950s and they theyve used only one special type of mud magic mud found on the Delaware River in New Jersey that provides the perfect grip that mud has been harvested by one family for nearly 80 years the mud takes 6 weeks to harvest and process and the best part only the Bentli family knows the exact location of the magic mud soldiers played ball in camps and on battleships on fields and Flanders and in hastily constructed ballparks throughout France Rover Cleveland Alexander served in the trenches with an artillery unit and emerged from the fighting Shell Shocked his hearing damaged drinking more heavily than ever to forget the horrors he had seen though Branch Ricky was 36 and had four children he went to War

exposed to poison gas that fatally seared his lungs he would live for seven more years but his great career was over Braves country radio pull up a chair your home for the classic call of Braves country [Music] baseball welcome back to Braves country baseball Max freed goes back to work out there hopefully he can keep it in the yard Braves Trail three to nothing now the the plus side of this you can look at it is another below average team is the nice way we can put it had a no hitter going into the ninth inning today and they blew it and lost the game unravel gave up 67 runs as the Mets came back and beat the the Blue Jays first pitch on the way to chaparo is swung on and chopped foul it's 0 and one Yankees and Royals tied it nothing a piece in the third the1 brings it one in one change up misses widen down one-1 count Max freed swung on that Ball's ripped into left field that Ball's down for a base hit laurano cuts it off comes up doesn't have a chance to fire it to cut off the runner this time at second so he'll just flip it into the infield and it's a leadoff double Max freed not pitching well at all tonight I think fans have to remember these outings in December and January when they start talking about wanting to give Max freed the sun and the stars to sign him free agency first pitch on the way way to Abrams is swatter back foul it's 0 and one don't get me wrong Max is a good pitcher but he's not going to be worth that 35 million doll average he's going to be asking for the1 Lefty Lefty freed brings it swing chops it foul 0 and two wood one for two on the night it's about that time to start turning back time we'll quees in as we go along here on Braves country radio an 02 to Wood Max turns back looks at the runner outside wide one and two the one

Street and Fifth Avenue the Giants first baseman receives a $500 gold watch from stock brokers in the area for the accomplish accomplishment the onew swung on that ball gets drilled into left field lorano can't hold on to it a diving attempt so it'll be a single the runner at second had to hold up he'll stop at third and it's Runners on the corners nobody out difficult dying Quail that you would have lik to have seen him held on to he got to it just popped out of his glove so now Runners on the corners nobody out they should Snicker over there hiding in the corner leaned up against I think he's asleep first pitch on the way chopped over to short it's going to be a six four three double play but the Nationals will take it as they build it to a 4 nothing lead little surprise they didn't

one 1-1 count two down Max freed about to throw his 79th pitch of the night brings it Swit lifts it down the left field line if it's fair it's problems instead it bends into the seat foul one and two on this date in 1902 in Braves history in the bottom of the 11th inning John Malarkey hits a game- ending home run off of St Louis the bean eaters one of the many names that the original Boston red stockings have held win the game four to three the one two swing and a miss strike three that'll end the inning Braves Trail four to nothing Malarkey becomes the first pitcher in baseball history to

occurred in the history of baseball was the great moment of the first World Series game between the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox as the crowd of 19,273 Spectators stood up to take the afternoon yawn the band broke forth to the strains of the Star Spangled Banner as the ball players turned quickly about and faced the music and when the final notes came a great volume of Melody rolled across the field the onlookers exploded into Thunder Applause the wartime crowd sang so enthusiastically that the performance was repeated at every game of the series from then on the song was an integral part of the national Pastime did not become the official national anthem until 1931 the Red Sox won the World Series that year beating the Chicago Cubs four games to two one of the series stars was the young pitcher Babe Ruth who had won both his starts including a masterful one to nothing shut up it was Boston's fourth world championship in the decade welcome back to Braves country baseball

error the one swing that Ball's hammered down the left right field line but plenty foul one and one bigio struck out looking his first at bats in Atlanta Brave the 1-1 swung on Cho foul one and two was a little surprised that bigio was called up he hasn't really done anything and Luke Williams who hasn't played great has actually had really good defense the onew miss high two and two two2 count Red Sox and Orioles are tied at one in the top of the fourth the pitch swing pops it up high in the sky can of corn who wants it Abrams will make the catch it's it's an adventure every time with that guy defensively he almost blew that cat that a dying is a like a lazy can of corn about the easiest play you can ever make and he struggled with it went away they got to make him just a DH and call it a night relle steps in swings at the first pitch and fouls it back it's on and one J shella 0 for one on the night he struck out swinging his first time up standing on Deck is Harris the 01 chopped back to the mound easy one three put out two down two down we knew this was going to be a a tough matchup because Irvin has pitched well against the Braves all year long talked about it in the Braves country today on Monday that first game of the series was going to be critical because Max has been up and down all year long and Irvin has just absolutely shoved against Atlanta but still a long way to go in this one but you're just glad that you got the first game of the series would have liked to saved some of those runs the 10 swinging a miss one and one schellenbach will be the will be the pitcher on Friday night the 1-1 swing lifted into right center field that's going to get down with the Green Grass Grows Here Comes Harris rounding first heading to Second and the no no is no mo with the two out double by Money Mike let's go Braves [Applause] [Music] country see what Irving can do with some ducks on the pond brings Jorge salair to the plate he's 0 for one but he did walk his last time up though Zuna standing on Deck you would think he'll get something ahead first pitch 94 below the knees called for a low strike it's not indicative what you're seeing on the screen what you're seeing on the screen dropped that about 3 to four inches below that's where the ball actually landed the 01 inside almost gets him one and one home play umpire Ryan ad it's F called a fairly decent game but he called that same bum Sinker strike on Jorge the last time up the 1-1 swung on lifted into center field that ball is going to get over the head of the center fielder that gets down with the Green Grass Grows one runal score and Jorge Solair with the little soulay power rips it over the head Jacob young the Braves have cut it to four to [Applause] [Music] one good hard hit ball it's kind of Jorge cair's wheelhouse you get a ball up in the zone like that he can rip it with the best of them so runner in scoring position again runner at second two outs first pitch on the way to Ozuna he's in the dirt for a ball it's one and0 the one0 Jake Irvin 78 pitches Into the Night by the way freed is at 80 the [Music] 10 brings it swing in a Miss chased a curveball in the dirt one and one Matt Olsen stands on Deck he represents the tying run Ozuna 0 for two with a ground out and a double play to his scorecard the 1-1 in the dirt two and one 95 mph Sinker this one too low for him to bend the zone and call it a strike strange the the 3D has been doing very well in the beginning of showing you where the ball is but not tonight the 2-1 down and in three and one tonight I mean that one there shows it it actually hit the Zone it was three inches below the Zone in the dirt in fact 3-1 to Ozuna righty righty Irvin brings it taking a curveball all the way at the knees three and two think Ozuna was sitting Dead red if he didn't get it he wasn't swinging so a Full Count Braves one run across so air standing at second a base hit would score him the payoff pitch to the zoo swing lifts it foul probably Chase went a bit out of the Zone but too close to take it's the last meeting of the Braves and the Nationals this season the payoff pitch brings it swing and a miss strike three definitely chase that one well out of the Zone about eye level we'll head to break the Braves put one on the board we got ourselves a ball game again here in Washington last night I dreamed I was a bottle of ketchup and you mustard which is weird cuz usually your Manny's my dreams what you suppose that is those who own dogs you know that every time you come back from wherever you went the dog is happy and it's jumpy and it wants to lick you in the face even if you just went to get mail from the mailbox they Delight in your return if you want to take them out for a car ride they're the first in the car they jump in they don't care where it's going but they're going somewhere they're some of the most joyous creatures that live among us dogs don't live as long as we do every single day a dog lives is equivalent to a week of your life if they only get one day for every week you're alive they make everyday count I'm just suggesting that they l lives have already factored in their mortality when I look at a dog I use that as a as a reminder of how I should live every day of my life while the Angels now have their own stadium in Anaheim they used to play their home games at Dodger Stadium in the early 1960s the Angels were a brand new team and had to share the stadium with the Dodgers because a dedicated field had not been built for them eventually in 1966 the Angels got their own ballpark who is he anyhow an actor no a dentist no he's a gambler then added he's the man who fixed the World Series back in 1919 fixed the World Series I repeated the idea staggered me it never occurred to me that one man could start to play with the faith of 50 million people with the single-mindedness of a burglar blowing a safe how did he happen to do that he just saw the opportunity why is KNE in jail they can't get him old sport he's a smart man welcome back to Braves country baseball Max freed takes curveball start off the inning right there in the outer edge to Ruiz it's 0 and one the 01 outside wide one and one Ruiz one for two with a double 13 home runs on the year the pitch up up top for a strike one and two the onew count brings it swing chops it over to First Olsen has it he'll step on the bag one away one down Braves country today will come your way Friday shooting for 12:20 Eastern catch it on YouTube or on Facebook but Braves country radio first pitch on the way curve ball outside wide it's one and0 we'll go over the Dodgers series take a look at where we stand in the playoffs come Friday I mean just I know this isn't a new Flash news flash but this is going to be a grind we're not winning this division are winning this wild card or losing it in the very near future it's going to take an absolute day after day 17 game push the 2 outside wide three and 0 the way it stands right now schwellenbach sale Morton and freed are due to to pitch in that series The Three 0 right down the pipe three and one on the outside because the built-in day off they'll just skip ronal Lopez's start and they'll move sa up and Morton along with freed up a day the 3-1 is right there for a strike on the innercut three and two full count to Vargas 0 for two on the day freed brings it curve ball swung on slaps it over to Second bigo's got it fires it to first two down the way it looks right now for the Dodgers and of course it won't be in stone until Friday but right now it's supposed to be by the way just a programming note Friday night if you haven't seen already it's it's an Apple TV game so you're not going to be able to get it on uh B or anything first pitch on the way is outside wide and high it's one and0 we'll have it here but as far as your your traditional television cast it's only on Apple the one0 on the Outer Edge one and one it'll be Landon Knack who's a rookie but he's pitched pretty well for the Dodgers and then we'll get flare ber and Yamamoto he is back off the iil pitched last night pitched okay I mean they're they're easing him in it'll be a second start against Atlanta on Monday and I would say they'd be shooting for four to five innings out of them so we're not going to get the the elite Yamamoto which could help but Max Free's going to pitch in that game so who knows the onew freed brings it curve ball swing in a Miss strike three and that'll end the inning 94 pitches that'll probably be it for Max he gutted through a just a bumpy performance we'll head to the seventh trailing by three y'all I can't wait for my kids to move out and invite me over for dinner I'mma s don't want that and throw some in the air fryer eat two bags of chips drink a whole bottle of water and leave it on the table turn on all the lights and walk away leaving a complete mess behind me the longer you wait on the ball the better you see it the better you see it the harder you hit it the harder you hit it the higher your average is the higher your average is the more money you make and the more money you make the more you're going to get laid in a 1947 college baseball game between Yale and forom each team had a very notable player the first baseman for Yale was future President George HW Bush and the forom center fielder was legendary Dodgers announcer Vince Scully HW Bush and Yale would go on to win the game 3 to one who do you think had the most hits in the 1990s some names that may come to mind are Tony Gwyn Ken Griffey Jr or even Barry Bond the answer is actually Cub's first baseman Mark Grace with 1,754 hits in the90s in 1919 no team played better than the Chicago White Sox pennant winners in the American League and few teams were paid as poorly or got along as badly players deliberately crossed each other on the field during infield practice no one threw the ball to second baseman Eddie Collins Chicago's highest paid player all season long teammate chick gandal had not spoken to Collins since 1915 I thought you couldn't win without teamwork Collins said later until I joined the white socks yet somehow we won a 100 games and the pennant that year the white socks were heavy favorites to beat the better paid but far weaker Cincinnati Reds in the world series The Chicago owner was the old Roman Charles A kamsky himself a former player but now among the game's most parsimonious Executives they were abused horribly by Charles who was a man of of a of a small mind tight Fist and and and nasty temperament um the climate was too good uh for it not to [Music] happen welcome back to Braves country baseball Braves Trail this one by three we head to seven M they showed Max free going to The Dugout waking up Snicker and talking about what happened probably catching him up to speed Matt Olsson leads us off first pitch on the way we got a news pitcher as well law we've seen him before the right-hander fires a curveball outside wide it's one and0 The one0 Swinging a miss one and one the 1-1 in the dirt two and one Nats four Braves one the 2-1 pitch outside wide three and one the 3-1 pitch swing that ball slapped into left field that's down for a base hit let's get it going Braves country Matt Olsen with the lead off single to start the seventh pitch was on the outside part of the plate he just went with it knocked it over the third baseman's head into left field first pitch on the way to Lando arus swung on line drive to short easy out one down Chase one off the edge was a slider that was just on the outside part of the plate so he was able to make contact but weak contact and Abrams makes the backhand of cat one down first pitch on the way lauriano they call that a strike up top it's 0 and one the 01 95 out wide one and one lauriano 0 for two he did get into one that was caught running back towards the wall earlier batting 252 with the 723 Ops eight home runs the 1-1 swinging a Miss chase that slider out in the way one and two the onew count pitch on the way to lauriano swing that Ball's hit hard down the left field line that's going to get through where the Green Grass Grows Here Comes lauriano bending around round first heading to second we've got Runners on second and third one out a single would cut this to a one run [Applause] [Music] lead hard hit ball into the corner so Olson's at third lauriano is at second sha Murphy excuse me swings the first pitch bangs it off the plate it's 0 and one standing on Deck is bigio on the bench just to keep you up to date it's Duval Kellick Maryfield tromp and white as he go one down and way one and one I don't believe Maryfield is available it's a little strange they they haven't made him unactive you can do that with the expanded rosters but they haven't maybe because it was a Road Series I don't know the 1 one swung on chop foul one and two but as far as who could play second base if you decided at some point to pinch run or excuse me to pinch hit for bigio Eli white appears to be the only option Trump is the only option behind the plate is the onew swing in a Miss chase that one well off the plate what a terrible at bat to away that pitch was Pitch Out territory easily 6 to8 inches off the plate and he just Dove at it I mean that's not even a Big League at bat viio comes on first pitch on the way down and in for a ball one and0 Travis darod is still on paternity leave he expected to probably be back on Friday though you can take a full five days the 10 kicks and fires 89 up top slider one and one I thought we were going to see Trump catch tonight to be honest I thought they would give Murphy a day off and I would have lik to seen what Trump could have done behind the at the plate the one1 swung on pops it up lazy flyball who wants it the left fielder will easily snag it and that'll end the inning so the Braves threaten and get to a four to one lead can't do anything and Murphy has got to take a seat it is ridiculous hey quick question um and I feel stupid for asking but when you're stirring up some do you go clockwise or counterclockwise today we are discussing the career of George Brett he is most known for the pintar game that occurred on July 24th 1983 he twice collected four hits in a postseason game even more impressive he batted 370 in the World Series against the St Louis cardal this included his game seven four for five performance overall in the postseason he batted 337 with a 1.023 Ops in 43 games in 1980 he nearly became the first player to hit 400 since Ted Williams in 1941 on September 19th with 13 games left he went two for four raising his average to exactly 400 he won the American League MVP award in 1980 he finished with a 300 or better average in 11 of his 21 seasons over his 21-year career he batted 305 with 317 home runs and 1,596 RBI he had 3,154 hits and had a career war of 88.6 he was a 13-time Allstar won one gold glove and won six silver Sluggers he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999 with 98.2% of the vote it certainly was a kind of Have and Have Not thing the baseball players were very Expendable if you got hurt you were gone there was no pension or anything else like that and uh they saw people making money hand over were fist um the owners in kamis sake uh case he owned the ballpark he bottled his own soda in the basement you know he was making a nickel on everything that went you know that that moved in that ballpark and there they were you know they were nicknamed the black socks even before they threw the World Series because uh one year he started charging them for laundering their uniforms and they went on strike by saying okay then we won't launder them and they got dirtier and dirtier and dirtier until the sports writers called them the black socks and then in fact kamis said okay I'll launder your uniforms and then he took it out of their World Series bonus welcome back to Braves country baseball we're heading to the bottom of the seventh inning Braves Trail four to one and this just it really is unbelievable at this point that they keep putting Murphy anywhere near he eth is the absolute highest he should bat I would love to know the reason why bigio was brought up and Luke Williams sent down because I haven't seen anything out of bigio that that tells you he's deserves to start over Luke Williams not that Luke Williams setting the world on fire Trail by three will have six more outs to try to get him back but Murphy I mean God bless I'm telling you for those y'all who can't see it it was 68 inches off the plate easily that pitch that he swung at you got Runners at second and third and one out you've got to at least get one of those runs home a Fly ball anything and we've talked about this before with the third base coach tuy I believe he's got to be more aggressive because their their bats are so bad this year you got to take more risks and hope something happens first pitch on the way from desel Hernandez who comes in for Max Fred whose night is done first pitch they said that a BRS went around it's own one Hernandez taking the spot of Rayo who went to the ilil this morning the 01 misses one and one so a 1-1 count 98 mph fast ball misses High two and one the 2-1 pitch swing fouls it back two and two Braves W Washington four bottom of the seventh to 22 swung on chop foul we do it again you know Eli white who can play second base I I don't know why they're not giving him an opportunity because the two two caught looking strike three slider at the top of the Zone one away Eli played second the other day he played it fine and he gives you professional at bats he also gives you the option of being able to drop a bunt down use his speed if they wanted to bring bigio up okay but why is Eli white not getting the start and bigio is getting it first pitch on the way to Cruz Dylan Cruz who's two for three on the night misses outside wide for ball it's one and0 the 1 swinging a miss two and 0 yeah you can say that again Mark that that contrarious trade I mean I know we've beaten that to death but that's by far the worst trade the Braves have made in recent memory the 1-1 up top for a strike one and two the whole idea behind that was you were supposed to be getting in Elite defensive Catcher And that has not shown he's not terrible but he's not above any of the others that we've seen onew count pitch on the way swing chops it back foul do it again Kansas City leads New York one- nothing they're in the sixth inning the one two in the dirt two and two so two two count standing on Deck behind Cruz is chapara the designated hitter would would reach if anybody could get on one two caught looking strike three slider up top to away I remember we so we were doing the the live radio show when that trade went down and I just remember being stunned because the one guy I didn't want to lose was like wait a minute we're getting rid of contras what the hell are we doing first pitch pitch on the way to japaro Misses it's one and0 the one0 from Hernandez 99 up top misses High two and 0 it's 20 count Wild Bill could really he'd be batting Cleanup in the lineup right now the 2 outside wide three and0 bare minimum be batting Fifth and it wouldn't be a forced batting fifth like when they put rcia or Murphy there the 3 0 97 right down on the Outer Edge three and one yall haven't paid attention he's been tearing it up for the Milwaukee Brewers the 3-1 pitch swing pops it up high in the sky in foul territory coming over making the catch is Matt olon in between home and third that'll end the inning three up three down we'll grab the bats be back in a Flash here on Braves country hey just a reminder drugs don't ruin careers drug Tes Larry Bird Never Had a Bad season three time MVP consecutively only player in NBA history to do that only small forward to average 10 rebounds for his career he's the only one no flaws in his game his Peak was incredible 2410 and six are his career averages on damn near 50 4090 shooting splits So Not only was Larry a great scorer but he was also a great facilitator great passer solid Defender and he was a hell of a rebounder no flaws in his game there is a somebody out there for everybody and the person for you is a psychiatrist she was probably I'm sorry can you stop breathing so loud honey he's like breathe quietly kamy's first baseman chick gandal a former hobo and one-time Club fighter was tired of it he was nearing the end of his career and wanted one shot at some really big money for the right money gandal let it be known he would be willing to talk some of his teammates into throwing the series there was nothing new in working closely with gamblers to throw games many players supplemented their incomes that way brilliant infielder Hal Chase had made something of a career of it but throwing the World Series was something else again still gandal was determined and now the right money was found an xboxer a betel and sleepy Bill Burns a one-time white socks pitcher served as goet but behind it all was New York's most notorious Gambler Arnold Rothstein who was said to be willing to bet on anything except the weather because there was no way he could fix that [Music] welcome back to Braves country baseball Atlanta Braves need three runs to tie this one as we head to the top of the eighth it'll be Gio the number one the number nine hitter excuse me followed by the number one hitter Michael Harris and Jorge cair they will face Ferrer the left-hander new to the game first pitch on the way 97 up top misses High called for a strike it's own and one the 01 swing fouls it away 0 and two bringing it 98 miles an hour it's got an erra of 392 and 20 Innings 18 strikeouts the O2 Megan 19 swing in a Miss blew it right by Gio one away this will be interesting Michael Harris II coming to the plate he do not farewell against lefties and this guy can bring it Jose Ferrer 24y old from the Dominican first pitch on the way to Michael swung on Chops it over to third over towards short it'll get to Abrams will field it he'll throw it to first but he does not have the arm to get Michael Harris and that will be an infield single perfectly placed Chopper didn't get a lot of it but it bounced just past the third basem arus who's kind of playing out of position he normally plays came up playing second he's moved over to third as he's gotten older it's why T is playing second tonight Jorge cair man if Jorge cair could get a hold of one of these fast balls from F that thing might come crashing through one of your windows cair stands in Lefty righty match up this is going to be power versus Power first pitch on the way 98 inside hi one and0 Jorge had to kind of jump out of the way wasn't that close to him but 98 coming near your knees it'll wake you up the 10 brings it 98 right there at the knees one and one so a 1-1 count Jorge is going to call timeout he's one for two with the a walking a double his last time on he scorched one over the center fielders head to bring home the first run of the game the 1-1 swing that ball slapped down the right field line just foul just foul that would have been extra bases for sure it might have even scored Michael cuz that ball was going to roll into the corner and they're playing solar to pull the right fielder would have had a mile to get there just I mean two inches maybe foul of the line it chopped in Fair territory right before it got to the bag it bounced into foul the onew down and in two and two the 22 swing that Ball's hammered into left field that's down for a base hit will go Station to Station as the ball was scalded into left field Runners on first and second one out and Mar solo Zuna is coming to the pl the big Zoo could tie it with one one swing he got on top of that fast ball and raed [Music] it so here we go again another chance to put some runs on the board it's the Braves sixth hit of the night they've all come in the last few Innings Irvin had a no hitter going against Atlanta Marcel Ozuna he 0 for three on the night Lefty righty there was a quick Mound visit by everyone and here's the pitch 96 up top blew it right up top Tak it all the way it's 0 and one the 01 swing that Ball's lifted High down the right field line bending bending bending making the catch in foul territory in right field here comes the throw to third Harris will move up but there's now two away the runners on the corners now and two outs Ozuna touch behind that one gave it a ride thought it might get into into the seats in foul territory but it just stayed Fair Marcel Ozuna middle of his power outage his last 15 games his o Ops is just under 700 which is unlike Marcel first pitch on the way to Olen he 99 at the knees it's on and one Lefty Lefty matchup liked him at least get the runner at third home the1 outside one and one Orlando arus stands on Deck Red Sox lead the Orioles two to one in the sixth The 1-1 Swinging a Miss 99 right by him one and two so a one-w count tying run standing at home plate the pitch in the dirt good block by Ruiz he saved a run on that one two and two that ball short hopped right in front of the catcher's left leg kind kind of ol it was lucky enough to get a hold of it if not that ball kicks away and Harris is at home and Solair is at second the 2 two swung on Chops it back to the mound that'll be an easy one3 put out that'll end the inning Braves threaten but can't get the big hit to clutch it we'll be back in a Flash here on Braves country I just remember like in 1998 when the internet blew up and everyone was all freaked out about it and they were like keep your information off the internet and we were like yeah for sure and like now now a stranger can literally just pull up to us in an alley and roll down the window say our name and we're like oh thank God can you take me to where I live Pete Schneider was a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds from 1914 to 1918 on May 23rd 1923 he had one of the greatest nights a baseball player can have in that game he was the starting right fielder for Vernon of the Pacific coast League at Salt Lake City in his first hit bat in the first inning he hit a two-run home run Vernon batted around in the third and once again again he would come up to the plate this time with the bases loaded with one swing he unloaded them with a Grand Slam in just three Innings he had two home runs and six RBI in the fourth inning he again hit a home run this time a three-run home run his next hit bat came in the sixth he just missed another home run when he hit a double off the very top of the center field wall in the seventh inning he hit his fourth home run in second grand slam of the game raising his home run total to four and his RBI total the 13 Vernon would bat around again and Schneider would come to the plate again in the seventh this time with the bases empty he hit another home run his last H bat came in the nth his last H bat resulted in a fly out to center field he ended the game with five home runs and 14 RBI what a performance oh yeah and his team ended up winning the game 35 to 11 rosting was basically a guy who never gambled you know he's known as a gambler and he never gambled on anything in his life which is why he got very very wealthy he only put money ostensibly gambling on things that he knew were a Shore thing or that he had covered so well that there was no way that he couldn't make a profit I don't think he really cared about sports I think he really did cynically feel like well these guys are Schmucks they're going to be old men and I'm still going to be making money off this game when they just have to pay to get into the [Applause] stadium welcome back to Braves country baseball jell Hernandez will pitch the ninth inning here Braves Trail by three first pitch on the way to CJ Abram oh no I'm sorry that's James Wood swung on and foul back its own and one the 01 righty Lefty swing in a Miss 99 up top 0 and two not only do they have the same hair dude they their their batting stances are very similar I was about to say man seems like this guy comes up every inning I realize that's wood the O2 Hernandez this will be his 20th pitch 99 misses high and wide one and two Yankees have taken a two to one lead off of a Juan stto two-run home run over the Kansas City Royals the onew swing fouls it back we'll do it again W yepez and Tena are do up in this inning the onew ga looking strike three 97 on the inner black one away good pitch by Hernandez I have not figured this out all year long why he has been in the minor leagues and we've had guys like Luke Jackson out there kicking the ball around every time he comes up he pitches well he's got good stuff first pitch on the way down and the away it's one and0 and he's got to be a part of the big plans of the Braves next year some of these guys hitting free agency the one0 swung on foul back one and one Mark says can you imagine if we sign stto it'll never happen but you never know I know Mark I know very very well we we won't sign him the 1-1 down in the way did he go around he did not two and one you can take that to the bank two1 count batter takes a time out first of all what's he gonna do Play Short Stop and and the Braves all of a sudden are going to throw half a billion dollars at somebody you're right two1 swinging a miss two and two this is like last year when I told him like trust me you can go ahead and throw all Your Dreams Away show hotani is not coming to Atlanta the 22 right there first strike just got a piece of it stay alive the two two count pitch on the way swing chops it over to short should be an easy play for Orlando it is 63 in your scorecard two down do you want to dream dream about getting like a a solid short stop that can hit somewhere close to the 280 range Juan yepez who's two for three stands in first pitch Mrs he want to know we have as much chance of signing Juan stto is we du to getting a trade for Patrick Mahomes the 1 swung on fouled back one and one one- one count righty Lefty 99 inside misses two and one the 2-1 pitch in the dirt three and one 3-1 from Hernandez swung on fouled straight back four seam fast ball so a full count Braves Trail by three still have a chance with this Nationals Bullpen the payoff pitch swing hit hard in the ground over on the right side through the hole and it's a two out single for the Nationals good hard hit ball it was on the fastball in the in cut he just got a turn on it was able to knock it through the infield I'm hoping by Friday we have some good news hopefully we have some Whit Mary field back that's what he talked about being able to play by the Dodger series I still got to see that to believe it and you would think we'll get some kind of an update they've been so quiet on the Aussie Alby Aussie Alby things I'm assuming that Austin Riley can only come back in October the1 Runner goes throw in the dirt Murphy guess the runner faked the go because he ended up back at first Murphy jumped up like he was going to throw Runner retreated first they didn't have the the camera on so I'm not exactly sure what happened there so one-1 count pitch on the way swing lifted high back out of play one and two the belief is that Travis Dar not will be back by Friday the onew in the dirt backhanded Runner goes throw down to Second another stolen base so a two2 count throws in the deres a diff difficult one to handle but when your catcher's not hitting it just drives you crazy how they just run it well on them runner at second two outs the two two swatter back foul do it again I thought it was funny when they were talking about stto possibly coming back to Washington I just don't see that the way that that ended and this is a Washington team that's trying to build for the future with a young team you're not going to throw $500 million at at one player just makes no sense the 2 two swung on lifts it high into right field that Ball's going to get down for a base hit and that'll be another run soir and he just doesn't run well and to have him in right field that essentially cost you the run if you have a normal right Fielder over there they probably gets to that one but nonetheless it's 5 to one off the end of the bat they have cair playing so deep lauriano or Duval probably gets to that they're going to get Hernandez out of the game I'm not sure why but we'll be back in a Flash here on Braves country coming in ah it's our good friend Aaron bummer bottom of the eth Braves Trail by four [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] fire [Music] welcome back to Braves country baseball just thought our bright in y'all's day those those are all puppies one on the right celebrating her third birthday yesterday that was the pictures my wife took and if the Braves come back from this this will be a you you know superstitions go we'll have to still up to do that make it make that a thing Aaron bummer comes on try to put out the final out of the game defensively first pitch on the way swung on chop foul 0 and one Vargas the batter he's z0 for three the 01 sweeper outside wide uh no they're both girls so one-1 count swung on chop foul one and two Washington 5 Atlanta 1 bottom of the eighth if you're just joining is Max free just did not have it tonight and the Braves bats cold once again they had a couple opportunities late in the game Irvin had a no hitter going all the way till Midway through the game when the Braves finally broke it up but they've had several opportunities just couldn't get the extra runs home the onew swing and a miss strike three bummer puts out the fire and that'll end the inning well we got one last chance Braves country let's get the bats hot and win this one tonight here I was thinking I was coughing some straight up gas but now I'm looking at it and it it's obvious that I have been gas lit dude that is cuz that is not good you know what I'm saying I wanted to get lit off that gas not gas lit I just came to the realization why I'm single every guy that I'm like oh yeah he's attractive but I see their wives and they just look like so like you know like not like this I pretend my tattoos are gone dude I'm I look crazy like that's why guys don't want to wife me up and I just come to this realization today shut up friend shut up go CHR I for nine innings with you oh they lose one game they lost five they lost five last six falling apart the race never lose armchair the proposition to throw the World Series was first brought to me in New York City in front of the Ansonia Hotel chick gandal came to me and said he wanted a conference he asked me if anybody had approached me on the 1919 World Series with the purpose of fixing I told him not yet he asked me if it was fixed would I be willing to get in and go through with it I told him I would refuse to answer right then Lefty Williams gandal recruited six teammates pitcher Claude Lefty Williams Outfield Oscar happy Felch third baseman Buck Weaver shortstop swed risberg right-handed pitcher Eddie cotti and the idol of school boys all over the Midwest Joseph Jefferson Jackson welcome back to Braves country baseball Los braavos Trail five to one finigan comes on he's the closer but he is coming in with a four-run lead he's got a 347 ER but I swear I never see this guy give up a run like you always see these crooked lines he gives up right before he plays the Braves and then he lights out first pitch on the way to RC is 97 P at the knees it's 0 and one the 01 arcia 0 for three takes the 01 down and away one and one you know you're building this lineup tonight rcia has been ice cold and they put him at the number five spot right behind Matt Olsen so there's there's no if you're in the middle of a rally like why wouldn't you pitch around Olsen to get to arcia at least Ramone laurano has put the charge into some balls and gotten some base hits much higher average as well the 1-1 down and away two and one 2-1 count righty righty finegan brings it swinging a Miss 98 blew it right by him two and two he's always so off balance too when he swings and misses like you just know that's that's just the sign of a guy who does not have good mechanics the 2 two Finnegan comes set brings it swung on fouled back do it again the only thing we can say positive about it is that we didn't spend $27 million a year to get the same kind of production which is what Dansby Swanson's given to Chicago the 22 brings it swing pops it up another lazy flyball he flips his Bat dramatically one away one down Ramone lauana the batter first pitch 97 up top 0 and one looks like Salvador Perez just hit a solo shot to tie up the Yankees and the Royals they're in the seventh both teams fighting for playoff burst the 01 swatted back foul 0 and2 top of the ninth Braves Trail by four down to our final two outs the 02 brings it swing that Ball's blasted down the left field line if it's fair it's gone but it looks like it's going to been just foul it landed several feet left of the foul pole but as it crossed over towards the foul pole it missed Pay Dirt by just a few feet the 02 to lauriana probably won't see that pitch again brings it 97 just below the knees I don't know how that's not a strike cuz all all night long additon has been calling very low strikes and that one was higher than most of those the onew kicks and brings it 98 caught look and strike three can't look at all of them you're not going to get the benefit of the doubt on all those pitches to away Braves down to their last out Braves head home after this we're off tomorrow then 7201 pitch four consecutive night games Friday night Saturday night Sunday night and Monday night the pitch down and Away splitter misses to Murphy it's one and0 the 1 kicks and fires 97 below the knees called for a strike one and one same exact spot that he just called a ball to laurano and it is a ball both of them but he's been calling low strikes all night long the 1-1 ler rip swinging a miss one and two so Murphy and the Braves are down to their final strike the final out of the night the onew Murphy 0 for three with a ground out line out strike out the pitch from finnean kicks and Fir swing fouls it straight back 97 miles an hour we'll do it again onew count 16th pitch of the inning for vinan the pitch on the way in the dirt two and two two2 count looks like by the way we are going to do the Sunday night not the Saturday night game this week the 22 outside wide 3 and two we'll talk more about that on Friday's show and during the broadcast but it looks like we're going to bring you the Sunday night ESPN game and not the Saturday night game less interest on the Sunday night cast the the 3-2 swung on foul back do it again Sunday night NFL is Chicago and Texas Chicago and the Texans says kind of a dull matchup so looks like that's the game we're going to bring you where the Georgia Bulldogs and other teams are playing Saturday night so that's the looks like that's what we're going to do the payoff pitch check swing foul down the line we'll do it again Murphy still down to the last strike if he gets on you would probably pinch run the payoff pitch swing chops it over to third should be an easy play it is 5-3 put out and that'll end the inning that'll end the game Braves drop a tough one the offense once again just does not show up Max freed didn't have it tonight but he was not bailed out at all by offense Atlanta Braves scattered six hits through nine innings but did not get a base hit until Midway through Jake Irvin's going to get the W Max Freed's going to get another loss the Braves are going to drop a game behind the New York Mets in the Wild Card race we'll have tomorrow off we'll see you Friday the hope is 1220 if not it'll be somewhere in that neighborhood for Braves country today and then 7:20 Friday night the Dodgers come a call and schwelling boach on the mound y'all have a great night Braves country and remember once again to never forget 911 23 years ago [Music] n [Music] [Music] oh oh
