Chop Cast

This has definitely been the toughest stretch for the Braves so far this year. It feels like we lost A LOT (which we certainly lost more than normal) but we got a few series wins against some good teams. Scraping together that last win against the Dodgers was HUGE.

Griffin and Will go over the past couple series and take a deep dive into a few overperforming players (*cough* Ozuna *cough*) and a couple of very underperforming players.

Max Fried and Kyle Wright are out for at leat 2 months...which sucks. Now the Braves have to figure out how they're going to fill those 2 holes in the rotation. Also, Ozuna has CONTINUED to hit the ball!?!?!?!?!?? Should we trade him? Should we keep him? Griffin, Sam, and Will ramble about all of these questions.

This was one of our favorite episodes in a while! We look at Elder's stats and project whether this is a flash in the pan or if it's legit, Griffin breaks out some wicked stats on A.J. to prove his point, briefly discuss Kyle Wright going back on the IL, and OZUNA...HITTING????

Great episode. You should listen.

Ouch...rough series with the Astros. Should've at least won two of those games but our bullpen kinda blew up. Also, Ozuna can no longer be a Brave. He is a negative on this team.

There was way too much to talk about in this episode so we (mainly Griffin) just kinda rambled about everything that's happened so far in the season, but you guys...this team IS SO GOOD!!! Very few holes...except one absolutely gaping one...Marcell Ozuna. He needs to be DFAd and we talk about why.

P.S. Next week's episode will be much more structured, and hopefully, we'll have the whole crew back together.

ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL OPENING DAY!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!?!?!?!?

Unfortunately, Griffin will be out of the country for Opening Week :( :( :(

BUT in this episode, Griffin and Will talk a little bit about the WBC Final, the strange move of Grissom and Shewmake to AAA, the intense battle for the 5th spot in the rotation, and give a few predictions for the Braves, MLB awards, and postseason.

(Also, there's a little delay between Griffin and Will's audio tracks, so some of the conversations might sound a little off pace. Sorry about that.)

We're back after a long hiatus. Griffin and Sam go over some early Spring Training performances, make some predictions, and talk about some of the new rule changes.

(Spoiler: we believe the pitch clock should at least be extended.)

I have no idea how this didn't get posted when it was supposed to be but here it is now. A nice look into the past I guess. We talk about Duvall and some trade ideas.

Yes, yes. We missed the Dansby signing. We didn't have many chances to talk about it with our messy schedules during the holidays, but, honestly, we saw it coming and we're not too terribly concerned overall. Anyway, the BIGGEST concern right now to us is what will happen with Max Fried. There have been a lot of trade rumors revolving around him right now and that terrifies us. Yes, we could get some great packages for him that could even further our dynasty, but looking at it purely from the perspective of fans, it terrifies us. In this episode, we talk about some potential trade packages, what we think the best outcomes from the situation are, and briefly BRIEFLY glance over the Dansby deal.

Also, this episode was recorded right before the news about Adam Duvall. However, we all projected that the Braves wouldn't sign him so we weren't surprised.

Man, this is a tough one. I really still don't know how to feel about it. I guess only time will tell. Listen to Griffin and Will's immediate thoughts on the 3-team trade.
