McCann stuff starts at 36:00 mark but so much Braves stuff and the whole podcast is gold if you like to dig deeper and be a fly on the wall in a pro clubhouse.

Driveline baseball podcast with guest Eric O’Flaherty. Really interesting listen and especially all of his discussion on B-Mac and to a lesser extent David Ross. I’ve always loved McCann but it was amazing to hear a pitcher go into detail about him...

Flowers is awful right now. And no effort to see the ball deep, shoot it oppo, to track the ball better. Amazing he got walked there as he’s been swinging at everything. On a related note, has ball-strike umpiring ever been this bad? I’ve noticed it as terrible at every level I’ve watched this...

Opposite for me. Espn does this every game I guess to connect with a larger audience, but it’s like fingernails on a chalk board when I’m trying to actually watch the game they are airing. They do love to hear themselves talk....

I think FF, Donaldson, and Flowers went out drinking last night. They have had abysmal games.

There’s something off about Blue. Between posting penises, masturbation emojis, and saying “I am erect!” when something good happens.....

It often can be a front side issue, with the shoulders leading the way and pulling the path more “east -west”. Often it’s a conscious fix, just focusing on staying through the ball and not over rotating. Lots of pullside ground balls is a red flag for directional issues. Hitting is such a...

I don’t see him as being late on fastballs. His barrel path is a bit off, seems when he tries to launch pullside that he’s cutting off the strike zone, not staying through it. It’s amazing he’s been as successful as he continues to be with his swing being a bit off. Lesser talent would...

Taking a look at video of the swings of the first 3 picks, I came away impressed with Langeliers swing and think it will make him worthy of the #9 pick going forward. Very well sequenced and simple. Stays on line with his barrel path and in the zone. I’m not as impressed with other 2 swings...

“Strategic walk” with one out and the middle of Giants order coming up. Man, Chip is a special kind of stupid. At least Jeff disagreed. Does Chip have to endorse everything that happens regarding the Braves with positive spin????

I mean, he missed his spot, but the ball was beaten into the ground 2 feet in front of home plate and still found a hole. A pitcher isn’t bad or good based on whether a 5 hopper finds a hole. I’m wondering what that 86 mph ball with no break or movement that Ozuna hit 5 miles foul was? Slider...

I’m talking about Chip saying that. And what’s so odd about someone who coaches and works with hitters on a daily basis being able to diagnose a thing or two about a swing? Surely, 20 yrs is enough time to know more than the casual fan, I’d think. And you’re the same know-nothing that...

These clowns who think Acuña homering has something to do with him batting leadoff..... Clearly, the signs were there in the past few games with Acuña driving the ball to the off field, staying inside the ball instead of all the ground balls pull-side.

Minter is the same pitcher he was last season. Lacks an out pitch so his command has to be almost pin point for him to be effective. He leaves a lot of cookies for hitters to tee off on. He can be valuable, used correctly. But definitely not a closer.

Yeah Washington should probably catch some heat from his bosses on that one.

As someone who works with hitters regularly, I’d say Jeff is just making a guess at best. That slight of a tilt won’t make someone with elite bat speed late regularly. Acuña is already unusual as he has minimal bat tip compared to most hitters. Baseball is tough. It’s not easy to keep your swing...

This constantly bugs me about Chip and his “shift” talk: Is Freddie beating the shift if he lines it into left field? Beating an infield shift would mean a ground ball through a vacated left side of the infield. Right?? An infield shift plays no role in a line drive over the infield.

Lol you act like they issue walks for some other reason than they just lack command. Did you play baseball? Throwing strikes is tough or everyone would do it well :)
