0:28.0

Today, so I hope everybody's excited and the guest, obviously, is going to correlate to the biggest current event, especially here in Atlanta with the braids coming back home. But first, I do got to give a shout out to bet online dot AG head over there today with the online casinos always open.

0:42.0

And whether you want parles again, the season's here in major league baseball. No march madness is over. We're kind of sprinting toward football season. We all know it'll be here before you know it.

0:52.0

So head over to bet online dot AG today and tell him that J boys sent you, but very excited as usual to bring on a guy that played at the major league level with the braids, multiple teams.

1:02.0

Now you can catch him as bleed analyst and commentator for the Atlanta Braids. You've heard him called Frenchy. That's Mr. Jeff Frank or Jeff. What's up, man?

1:10.0

Nothing much, man. How are you? Man, I'm doing great. I appreciate you've taken some time. You're on your way to the ballpark right now, aren't you?

1:17.0

I am. I am, man. Got, you know, two games got to get rolling.

1:22.0

Yeah, with that a doubt. And again, look, you play 162 game schedule. We all know how many that is the braids off to a little bit of a rocky start.

1:31.0

But again, when you play that amount of games, we're not even near where we're going to be. And we all know the experience that the braids have.

1:37.0

Even though they are useful. They have guys that kind of understand it. You know, Jeff, when you've watched these these first couple games, what have you taken away from it?

1:46.0

We've seen some small mistakes. You know, Ozzy kind of watching that sack fly and then go and instead of just running kind of what have you seen?

1:53.0

You know, I think I'll start with the positives. You know, look, our starting pitching has been really good.

1:59.0

So you like that. I think the bullpen had had a little bit of a hiccup there. The first game burst and that's what other than that.

2:19.0

They've been outstanding. You know, Ronald Freddy, you're going to get going a lot of good things. I think at the end of the day, my biggest worry is a little bit the bottom part of the lineup.

2:30.0

And I think that's where without the DH now, you just I think Austin Riley is that guy who's got to got a hit. He's got to get going because Christian Pache for me. Look, he's going to play great defense.

2:43.0

You better make me tell me as the season progresses. Just give me something all sensibly. You know, give me a hit big hit time to time. Do what you do. But now with the pitcher hitting you can't go to three innings a game with that seven eight nine being out.

2:59.0

At the bottom of the lineup. So I'm going to need him to hit a little bit.

3:03.0

Yeah, without a doubt. And again, we all know his ability. We all know the talent. A guy that got some scratch last year. And then we've heard about for a while.
