00:00uh we did see the Braves earlier today finally win a game because it is not going well for them
00:07in the month of August coming out of a sweep against you know Minnesota sweeps them they
00:13were supposed to have off today but then they had to stop and play this rain out game against the
00:18White Sox and now they're heading to take on the Brewers and listen you got to win this game right
00:24if you're Atlanta you can't lose it and then go into Milwaukee getting beat up by the American
00:30League uh you know trash here and that's kind of exactly what they were in jeopardy of doing but
00:36great game by Holmes today and finally they got off this night and got a win yeah everyone says
00:42that Holmes can't pitch for them in the playoffs but meanwhile he's like been their most consistent
00:47guy all year long it's it's crazy to think uh you know Holmes and Elder don't really scare a lot
00:53of
00:53people but they've been very consistent all year so you're right you mentioned it Joe
00:57the the Braves don't want to go back and play the White Sox the final day of the season or
01:02the final
01:02week of the season because they're going to have to be playing or preparing for the playoffs so for
01:06them to get a win in Chicago today is good by them and even with them getting swept by Minnesota
01:10Joe
01:1173 and 53 on the year for the for the for the Braves they finished 20 games over 500 that's
01:17winning
01:17the division and all likelihood probably getting a first round by too so they just have banked
01:23so many wins to this point they had an incredible first half they were as good as anybody except
01:27for maybe the Dodgers in the first half and now it's the the weekend series that everybody's been
01:32waiting for because this is the potential playoff matchup maybe the division series or maybe even
01:38the nationally championship series with the Braves and the Brewers so to me this is the best series in
01:44baseball this weekend coming starting tomorrow yeah it's I'm looking very forward to seeing that
01:51uh I don't know what happened to Tampa they lost again today uh and all of a sudden Toronto just
01:58winning games here and they've got a series I guess against the Yankees uh starting tomorrow heading
02:05into this weekend but Seymour only gave up six hits three of them were solo home runs and Toronto wins
02:11five one I I'm starting to listen Tampa's got enough equity right and wins early enough in the
02:18season 76 and 51 that they can afford to play with their food a little bit here but yeah not
02:25a great
02:25look here over the last couple of weeks for the Tampa Bay Rays no definitely not as strong at home
02:31as
02:31they have been too and you know look maybe Toronto is catching fire at the right time I don't really
02:36believe that I tend to think that every team just loses series over the course of the year
02:40Baltimore got hot they smashed around Tampa Bay Blue Jays are hot smashing around Tampa Bay here
02:46for a bit I would expect the Rays to be just fine and again you're 76 and 51 you've you've
02:53built 25
02:54games over 500 of the lead that's just insurmountable not for the not for the division because the
03:00Yankees are certainly just a few games back but you know Tampa Bay is going to be in the playoffs
03:05and I've always been told like August is just for a team that's up it's just really not a good
03:10indicator it's as they say the dog days of summer I just think that they've hit they hit in LA
03:15they
03:16hit in Tampa and they hit in Atlanta
