00:00and we'll be back in just a little bit.
00:05Is Atlanta in the gap? If you even think there is behind the
00:07Dodgers and the Phillies depends on the prism. You want
00:11to look at it. They will never hit as well as the Dodgers and
00:14the Phillies and that's tough to say given what we've seen
00:16from this lineup over the past couple of years, but this
00:18that's just not this team. They're not going to score at
00:21that rate more often than not. They're not going to put up
00:23five six runs like they used to for whatever reason whether
00:25it's when you're being out or the lineup just not gelling
00:28struggling this year. Marcelo Zuna is the only viable bat in
00:31that lineup on every given night and nobody thought we
00:33were going to say that going into this season. So I don't
00:36trust them to hit but the one-two punch of Chris sale
00:41and Max freed and even to a certain extent. We're not a
00:44Lopez. If you want to add him in there seems pretty
00:46formidable when it comes to the playoffs. So the Braves the
00:49whole goal is just a struggle survive and get into the
00:52postseason and say who cares whether we win the NL East or
00:54not. We were going to be a tough out because we can pitch
00:57come the postseason and they trust their guys enough to get
01:00enough hits and scores. So if you want to look at them from
01:03a postseason, you know model there every bit as good as the
01:06other guys because they can pitch. I mean if you put the
01:09Braves and the Dodgers up against each other in a
01:11playoff series in a shorter series three or five games
01:13whatever it may be guess what advantage Atlanta just from
01:16the starting pitching standpoint.
