Ozuna's Late Game Heroics Flip the Series in Miami
Listen now
Description
The Braves were down to their final strike in Miami, but Marcell Ozuna crushed a 3 run homer and Atlanta escaped with a 9-7 victory. David & Eric extensively discuss how great Ozuna has been not only this season, but ever since May 1st of last year. Ozuna currently leads the NL with a 1.193 OPS and collected seven hits over the weekend. (17:30) Ronald Acuña Jr. meanwhile is off to a slow start and his OPS sits at .712, but the MVP had at least one hit in every game this series. Even though Acuña isn't his normal self, the team's offense is still coming through with plenty of production. (21:00) The Marlins beat the Braves on Saturday 5-1 as Max Meyer out pitched Chris Sale. Meyer struck out seven Braves and only allowed one run. The series began with Max Fried's first impressive outing of the year in Atlanta's 8-1 victory as Fried pitched into the 7th inning. (24:00) David points out who the top pitchers have been so far this season in MLB and it includes Chicago's Garrett Crochet, who the Braves faced earlier this month. (31:15) We now have confirmation that Spencer Strider's season is done as he had elbow surgery on Friday. It was internal brace surgery instead of Tommy John, and David explains what the difference is between the procedures. (45:30) Dave Lezotte, Voice of the Gwinett Stripes, provides an update from AAA. Speaking of Gwinett, Darius Vines will start the series opener on Monday night in Houston, swapping roster spots with Allan Winans. **This episode is sponsored by Joe Van Gogh Coffee's "Blend #44".
