Transcript

00:00I mean, but let's face it, the Braves have always been the Achilles' heel for this franchise,

00:06and I'm feeling like this team feels different now, going down to Atlanta, getting ready

00:10to at least take two out of three from these guys.

00:13I disagree.

00:14I think it's a whole new bunch here, and I'm sure there's history, and I can speak from

00:20my experience when I was young with the Cardinals, and the Cardinals could never win on the West

00:27Coast trip when you had the West Coast swing, and you had those ten games, nine games in

00:32ten days on the West Coast, and finally, in 81, under Herzog, we went there in the second

00:39half of that strike year, and we cleaned the West Coast clock, and I remember going, starting

00:46that trip, and it was an August stretch run, and we had to win.

00:50We couldn't have that kind of road trip, even though it had nothing to do with our ball

00:54club.

00:55We felt it, and it was a relief to get the monkey off our back, so to speak.

01:00So okay, sure, but I think this is a new group.

01:04This is a team that is fun to watch, that they've got all kinds of mojo going right

01:10now.

01:11I mean, they put a marker down with three out of four at home against the Phillies,

01:16and the way they've played, with determination and hustle and spirit, don't think that Philly

01:25didn't leave town knowing that they're going to have their work cut out for them if they

01:29ever meet in the postseason.
