I am your host, Brad Rowland. It is Tuesday, March 30th. The Atlanta Braves

opened their season in less than 48 hours, and I am joined by both of the frequent co-hosts

of this podcast. Scott Coleman is here and Eric Cole is here. Hello, friends. Hey, fellas, good to be on. I don't know about you guys,

but I thought spring training went by pretty quick over the last six weeks. Usually, at least for me,

I feel like it's just this never-ending marathon and it feels like opening day is consistently three

weeks away. But at least for me, I felt like this one went by pretty quick.

Yeah, I think so, too.

I mean, it just felt like, well, first of all, there wasn't any, like, injuries or any weirdness that happened that make you go, dear God, why can't we shorten spring training or, you know,

like, why are we running our guys out here to deal with this on a, every year in, you're out,

we always

lose somebody type of thing um and more importantly i mean we only got 60 game season last year and

you know everything was really weird i think everyone was kind of kind of clamoring for normalcy and

you know i don't think spring training i still think it shouldn't be as long as it is but it was just

kind of nice to have baseball to talk about.

And it didn't feel like that sort of that grind that it normally feels like.
