00:00way elder uh last four starts three you know 1.88 era that's under two that's great okay
00:08and so this has been a nice stretch for him and we're talking about this because
00:12many of you most of you all of you didn't believe in this pitching staff when we started the season
00:19we all said chris sale and who ronaldo lopez grand holmes bryce elder and jose suarez who's
00:27that that's how we started the season guys and now again take out toys insert martin perez will be on
00:33the hill tonight and the belief is this is enough to get us to the world series 4047260929 uh win
00:41streak is nice uh braves are rolling they've won five of the last six series since the break
00:47remember we said man what are they gonna do after the all-star break and mike and i were so
00:50concerned
00:50about this 17-day stretch of games that we thought well if they lose a bunch of these games
00:57they certainly won't do anything at the trade deadline if they win which they did and maintain
01:02first place well what does that mean well we thought it was going to certainly impress upon
01:06alex that it was worth doubling down on and go get those starting pitchers and he didn't really do
01:11that no well i mean again unless you're big fans of mallee from the giants but uh but we kept
01:16him
01:16off the phillies roster apparently okay keep away that was that's another way it's these things are
01:21getting uh spun okay i mean well i'm looking forward to seeing him in action sooner seems like a good
01:26guy seems like he's a hell of a dancer in the locker room there's a lot of uh folks have
01:30seen the
01:31video of some other teams he's been i think it was cincinnati or st louis wherever he was dancing
01:34around the locker room in the clubhouse hey man we'll see what these guys are about we didn't know
01:37again we didn't know anything about solaire or jock peterson you know or rosario at that stage
01:4221 and i guess alex is going to try to moneyball the pitching you know if a.j smith-sharver
01:47can
01:47come back and he's got i think he's got what one more rehab start down in guinette that's another
01:51guy another starting guinette i should say i think grant uh told us that was the plan all right and
01:56he hopefully he can contribute because look you're not going to see wall drip i don't think you're
02:00going to see strider nope you know and and that's that those are those are all guys that were sort
02:04of dependent on coming through for you back in northport at spring training yes smith-sharver was the
02:08other guy you're right that i didn't mention who was on the il to start the season we had
02:12five potential starters on the il that's why this is so curious and that's why now i'm having a hard
02:19time believing that the flip that the switch has been flipped that all of a sudden now we're going
02:23to get these kinds of outings god i hope so from these guys when that's not traditionally what we've
02:29gotten let's talk to billy in cartersville he wants to join the conversation you're on sports radio
02:3492.9 the game hey man hey god you won't believe it that's an old friend of yours
02:42and he had hey your phone's crapping out hold on we can't hear a word you're saying brother i'm
02:46sorry i don't i don't want to miss the anecdote yeah because he said that you're not going to
02:50believe this and then he had my attention and that generally that's a great conversation starter it
02:54sucks me in you're not going to believe it's like when you all hear i always say you know with
02:57all
02:58due respect you know an insult is coming it's coming my ears prick up yeah uh so billy yeah let's
03:03let's
03:03let's give him get him on hold here and we'll grab him back because i do want to hear what
03:06he has
03:06to say you guys can join the conversation as well text us at the same number 404-726-0929 or
03:11you can
03:11call but that's the thing that's that's where this is at falcons by the way off day today i'm going
03:16to
03:16let you hear a little bit uh from p john robinson talking about his contract kirby and the dogs at
03:21camp it has started mike griffith's going to join us coming up in the four o'clock hour so stay
03:25tuned
03:25for that as we talk dogs and college football but uh this has just gotten interesting because it gives
03:32you the sense of and i think it's a false sense of security myself but it gives you that sense
03:36like
03:36hey everything's gonna be all right this pitching staff's gonna kill it and we're gonna be really
03:41good the only day that i feel that way is every fifth day when chris sails on the hill right
03:44that's
03:45it other days my fingers are crossed and i got like one eye closed and i'm going is he gonna
03:49be all
03:49right but what's going on so uh and by the way didier fuentes mike out of the bullpen out of
03:55the pen he
03:55picked up his second save last night you know me i'm not saying that jerry rucci's not going to be
03:59the
03:59guy i just think that he's got the higher upside i think fuentes has got electric stuff the ball just
04:03i mean the way it moves and everything i just can't wait to see him but he's so young that's
04:07the thing he's just very very young you got to take your lumps but they've had him in high leverage
04:11what we used to call pressure pressure situations and and nine times out of ten he responds
