00:00It's Matt Olsen. Do you remember when the Atlanta Braves first acquired him?
00:02Let's see how this works out. And then you take a look at his 2023 season,
00:07smacked 54 home runs with a weighted on base percentage of 413. He could never get back to
00:12this. Dipped a little bit in the past couple of years. Oh yeah. Take a look at this year,
00:1613 bombs already, 35 runs scored, 35 RBI and a weighted on base percentage of 433.
00:24It's hammer time down to the big A there, Craig.
00:28Yeah, Donnie, I think this is a real challenger for the National League MVP. I think this is
00:32legitimate here. I mean, look, I personally would give it to Otani as I've talked about every year
00:37he pitches and hits. That's it. He's the MVP for me because when he's done, we're never going to see
00:42this ever again. But that being said, I guess maybe in the prediction market space, if you're
00:46looking somebody to finish second or finish third, I definitely think he is well within play. 13 home
00:52runs, as you mentioned, an OPS over a thousand. This could be a potential year like we saw two
00:57years ago. And it just goes to show you that every player has different trajectories over his career.
01:02Credit to him. Whatever went wrong for him last season is going right now. The Braves are playing
01:07good baseball. They'll get Acuna back, I believe, next week too. And, you know, Strider came back and
01:12maybe that's the biggest story of all for the Braves this week. Donnie, I don't know if you saw any
01:15of
01:15that story yesterday, but he was like throwing 97 again. I mean, you want to take a flyer on
01:20somebody to win the Cy Young or moving forward? I'll tell you, Strider looked like Strider a few
01:25years ago yesterday.
