CJ your optimism is great, but are you really hoping the Braves will make the playoffs with their pitching in shambles? It would be a long shot IF Schwelly and Sale were back tomorrow. They are like 2% and falling. Start talking about how they should prepare for 2026.

Here's your list of games were 70+ pitches were thrown in any inning and no runs scored since 1974...
That has to be the record for the longest first inning ever where neither team scored a run. @CJNitkowski, you got this?
We're through 1 inning here at Truist Park. 71 pitches, 5 walks, 1 hit...no runs.
Stay hydrated friends. Braves-Giants coming up next on @FanDuelSNBraves.

Coming up at 11ET on @680TheFan with old friend @CaseyStern talking Braves probably.
Statcast never gave us the velocity on the throw or the distance he threw it. I kept refreshing the MLB research tool every 5 mins to get it. Heck of time for the system to miss something. It did get the “angle to ball landing” if that interests you.
Ok @CJNitkowski, we are going to need the Statcast data on that throw!! 🔥🔥
Talked to Brandon today, was good to catch up after the All-Star break. Thought it was strange when he told me the Braves were off tonight and that he was just going to stay in tonight by himself. You can imagine how I felt when I turned my TV and saw this...

Fun conversation with Jake, perhaps the most critical part of this was a point that Jake made.... Why don't we have a "Grant Holmes amazing hair hat" yet in the Braves shop or as a giveaway?
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 • @CJNitkowski joins the show! • Grant Holmes' unexpected rise in rotation • Offense woes: Dead balls or something more? Listen to the latest episode of Locked On Braves now!
Congrats to the hard working folks at @FanDuelSNBraves. Good looks, as my 17yo would say. He'd also say "6-7" but I still don't know what that means.

NO MATT OLSON IN THE SWING OFF?!? HE WAS ON DECK!! FAIL! Good gracious!
I will never understand for the life of me why they ever let the HR Derby shaggers even touch the warning track. Never mind that a kid just actually robbed a homer.
