00:00 So after the weekend that was for the Atlanta Braves in the bombshell news on
00:07 Sunday that Ronald Acuna Jr. has torn an ACL and is out for the remainder of this
00:13 year what is the vibe Mark Zinno around the ATL? That well I mean the Braves feel
00:22 kind of cooked. I said that it was sort of tongue-in-cheek you know then people
00:27 will remind you well they won the World Series last time without Ronald Acuna
00:31 and I would say yeah it's kind of foolish to think you can do that again
00:36 like you don't take not only your best position player off the team but your
00:41 best pitcher off the team and then go yeah we'll just run it back and win the
00:45 World Series again especially when nobody's hitting nobody I mean there is
00:51 I it might be a little bit premature and I don't think Kevin Sizer the hitting
00:55 coach would get fired by any stretch of the imagination because he's built up a
00:58 ton of goodwill here but I mean there have been some rumblings that the
01:03 hitting has been that bad around here that it might cost somebody their job I
01:08 think what happens here in short order is guys that Alex Santhopolis is left to
01:12 do what Alex Santhopolis does and that's go fleece somebody for a really good
01:17 player that helps them win and gives them next to nothing I mean that's kind
01:20 of what we've come to expect from Alex Santhopolis at the trade deadline and
01:23 it's probably gonna come even sooner than that I don't think he's waiting
01:26 till July I think they'll wait another week or two to see if Sean Murphy and
01:30 Austin Riley provide any juice to this lineup they certainly didn't last night
01:34 as I cashed the first five under but you know this is a spot where if they don't
01:39 start to hit the ball very quickly you're going to see some changes being
01:43 made because guess what even if Philadelphia does regress to the mean a
01:49 little bit if you're not hitting and the Braves aren't scoring you're not
01:52 catching Philadelphia you're not
01:56 (upbeat music)
