This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max.

With the UAE for Champions League kicking off

and a brand new format for the new season,

you've got to wonder, will anything ever be the same?

Well, one thing you can know for sure is that Pepsi Max,

as proud sponsors of the men's and women champions league,

will be cheering from the sidelines like never before.

Pepsi Max, Dirsty for more.

T-Empsey Max, the Battery Power podcast.

I am your host, Brad Rowland.

It is Sunday, May 1st, and I am joined as often by

Scott Coleman, a man who's not felt well recently, but it's now a live kicking. I hope your voice

is okay, Scott, because we need you on this podcast. I am here and off the IL feeling much better.

Thanks, Brad. Hope you're doing well. Hope everybody out there is doing well.

It looked like earlier this week, the Braves might finally be getting out of their own way a little bit. And then, of course, we know how the weekend games went. But nonetheless, a whole lot of

things to chat about and always good to be on with you. Yeah, we'll dive in. As always,

Scott playing hurt. I am quite literally fresh off of an airplane like walked in

the door turned the microphone on so forgive us for any uh transgressions on this podcast but we'll do

what we can as always we like to deliver the content at a timely banner and april is over it is now

officially may and i'm not sure we're in the part of the season yet or the standings matter

but certainly there is some frustration as you sort of alluded to a second ago, we'll come back to that.

We should, though, at least start with the headline story of the week.
