The Atlanta Braves dropped game one of their four-game set with the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 5-4 on Thursday night. Charlie Morton was controversially left on the mound in the 6th inning and gave up a three-run homer to Brandon Marsh despite lefty groundball specialist Aaron Bummer in the bullpen and ready. Let's hear from manager Brian Snitker about why he chose to leave Morton and how the dynamics of the Minnesota Twins series impacted Atlanta's bullpen in this one.

Chris Sale struggled in his second outing of the spring this Saturday. is it time to over react and believe that he is washed as a solid starter in the show or should we take a breathe and keep believing in him? A few other names for starters have been emerging this spring Like Bryce Elder and Reynaldo López. Both guys have had tremendous efforts this spring but I believe that the 5th starter job is going to go to Lopez, at least to start the season. Elder won't spend the whole year in the minor leagues, inevitably someone will get injured and he will be the first call up to take that spot in the rotation. Then we get into my predictions for the roster of hitters which I think will be Acuna, Harris, Kelenic in the outfield. Arcia at short, Ozzie at second, Olsen at first, and Riley at third. Behind the plate Sean Murphy will do most the catching with d'Arnaud being his primary backup. I also believe that the best pitcher on the team this year will be Max Fried because it is his walk year and on the offensive side it will of course be Ronald Acuna

I start the episode by giving my baseball background, talking about when I became a braves fan and how playing professional baseball for 6 years gives me some knowledge to talk about the sport. Then I dive into the Braves signing Chris Sale and what the possibilities could be with him healthy this year. Also my thoughts on how he can help the Braves if he stays healthy. From there I talk about the other Braves starters mainly Spencer Strider. He added a new pitch this season so I touch on that and then get into what the season will look like for him. I end it by stating the importance of beating the Phillies this year and then I sign off.
