Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, your flight to Bristol has been delayed once again.

Before your entertainment purposes, please listen to the baggage claim Monday edition of the baseball tonight podcast with Buster Only.

The White Zone is for immediate unloading and loading of passengers only. No parking in the White Zone. Thank you.

This is the baseball tonight podcast for Monday, August 7, 2023, and today will be better than yesterday.

Buster Only, in the San Diego Airport, Taylor Schwing, Sarah Abbott are back in Connecticut.

Guys, how you doing on this Monday morning?

Doing all right, man. I mean, not in an airport at, you know, in the 4 AM hour. So, you know, no shade, but might be better than you.

Yeah, but you know what? I'm totally energized for today because we have so much great stuff to talk about, Sarah, and it's got to start with that flight.

Oh, yes. I'm so excited.

Yeah, it was the talk of baseball that fight between Jose Ramirez and Tim Anderson, you know, everybody that I spoke to at the ballpark and he out here in CDAO.

They were talking about that a lot to get to today. I think we're going to be hearing from Tom Hamilton who does play by play a course for the Cleveland Guardians.

Get his perspective on that brawl and Taylor. I thought he had one of the best calls that I've heard in baseball. Is there going to talk about with him coming up?

Oh, yeah. So I was watching. I saw the fight almost, you know, as soon as it happened, it's on social media. I'm watching a bunch of times. It was so good that I had transcended baseball where I leaned over to my wife. I was like, you have to watch this.

So we watched it together. And then I found Tom Hamilton's call. And I was like, oh, we got to watch it again with this call. It's even better. And we were all in. So, yeah, we got to talk to Tom about it today.

I'm excited to have a discussion with him. We're going to be talking with Sarah Lange's, of course, and Tim Kirchen, who from what I understand today was a milestone day for him. And he'll explain why with all the calls going on for flights in the background, Taylor, Sarah, I'm going to leave the scoreboard over to you today.

Thank you, Buster. Another exciting weekend and majorly baseball. Let's run through it. Cubs and braves over the weekend. The braves first team to 70 wins on Saturday.

But the Cubs, when they're sixth straight series on Sunday, they did it with help from the one-time trade candidate, Cody Belinger. And my, my, my, that seems like a long time ago.

Happ at first, one away, three, three game. Happ goes the pitch. Live drive, base hit down the right field line.

Auto's where the third base is. Happ is turning the corner and coming home. The crowd come home. Cubs took the lead.

Cody Belinger comes through. Four to three. Cubs over the braves. Here on the fifth.

That from the Cubs radio network. Cubs win six to four. Fly the W Chicago. The Cubs are surging while the reds are flailing.

Cincinnati have lost six straight games after getting swept by the Nationals this weekend.
