What's up everybody and welcome to episode 152 of the Talking Chop podcast.

I am your host, Brad Rowland.

It is very late, very late into the night, I should say, on this Thursday, Valentine's Day.

In fact, when we get done recording, it will almost certainly be Friday morning, at least on the East Coast. But the only person that I can think of in the world that would agree to record with me this late is Scott Coleman. And hello, Scott. The perks of living on the West Coast, it's 9.30 out here. Pretty soon, it gets to be another hour back because Arizona's weird.

So the night is young. I always forget when I'm texting you and set up times.

This time I actually remember that it was two hours.

But in the past, I've always thought that it's the wrong.

It's either two or three, depending on the time of year.

And I always forget which one of this.

Yeah, but all good.

We got pitchers and catchers showing up today or tomorrow,

however you want to look at it, showing up on Friday and should be fun. Yeah, so that's the backdrop

of this podcast. The major thing that we want to hit on is the interview to end all interviews that

the Athletic did with the Braves front office. We'll get there in a moment, I promise you. But one quick thing that's like sort of a housekeeping item before we get started on a Braves talk is that the podcast has changed hosting platforms.

If you were listening to the show on SoundCloud, if you're used to that, we've been there since we actually started the podcast.

We've now moved over to Panoply.

Not a huge change for anybody except for if you're listening on SoundCloud, you have to change that. And we'll be posting links. The link that goes into the podcast post on

talkychop.com, you'll be able to just click on it and listen in the same way that you normally

would. If you are subscribed to the podcast, via Apple Podcasts or wherever else that you like

to listen to a podcast, nothing should change for you. If it did change, let me know that and we'll figure it out and we'll fix it.

But for the most part, nothing's going to change.

But we have changed platforms.
