Summary

Barstool Sports presents the Starting 9, featuring Jared Carrabis and Dallas Braden - the baseball podcast everyone wants but no one else will give you. This week's episode features an interview with Atlanta Braves ace Mike Foltynewicz, who talks about the Braves surge to the top of the NL East, his electric season, the rise of Ronald Acuna, fatherhood and much more. Jared and Dallas also get into: Trevor Story's injury news, Aaron Judge's return to the lineup, Marlins Man ‘making up with' the Marlins, Blake Snell reaching 20 wins, the Yankees activating Aroldis Chapman and the terrible NL MVP take by Barstool's own White Sox Dave. In addition, the crew continues the HUT SEAT segment, this time touching on every single National League team with topics like, “Is Ronald Acuna already one of the 5 best players in the NL?”, “Is Aaron Nola's 2018 the best Phillies pitching season since Steve Carlton?”, “was Jesus Aguilar's 1st half a mirage?” and many, many more takes. Jared and Dallas also answer questions from the #groundscrew!

0:05.6	Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon music.
0:08.2	Welcome back to starting nine episode 60.
0:12.0	We got Dallas Braden on a fucking landline somewhere in God knows where United States.
0:18.4	We have J. Hey in studio. We have Mike Fulton-Evitch, our guest at the Atlanta Braves is on this show here today.
0:26.7	Dallas before you get into whatever rant you want to get into about your Oakland A's, I got something I got to say.
0:34.7	I got something I got to say. I'm going to be accountable here.
0:38.7	I think I was wrong about the Dodgers. I think I was wrong about the Dodgers.
0:43.7	But here's the thing. The Dodgers, I said that there's, I picked them to finish third about two months ago.
0:51.7	I picked them to finish third. I liked the Rockies winning the division. I thought the D-backs would hang in there.
0:56.7	The D-backs are falling out. The Dodgers after last night, Chris Taylor, walk off bomb in the bottom of the tenth, have now secured a not a comfy lead.
1:06.7	But it's more than a half game lead. They got a game and a half lead over the Rockies who came into that three game series, a half game up in the division.
1:14.7	So I think I was wrong about the Dodgers. I'm not saying it's over. I'm not waving the white flag.
1:19.7	Rockies fans, I'm not waving that white flag. But I think I was, I was, no, no, no. I was more so wrong about the fight that the Dodgers have left.
1:28.7	Very mature of you.
1:29.7	Yes. I was wrong about the fight that I thought the Dodgers have left. I'm not waving the white flag on the Rockies winning the N-O-West.
1:37.7	I'll, I'll allow for that because I understand where you're coming from. You made yourself a nice comfy little palette on that Rocky train.
1:45.7	And you're not one to just jump off from one train to the next. You know, that's not you. You're not that guy.
1:54.7	So I can understand how this is more of, more of just an oversight on what the Dodgers have left in the tank as opposed to an egregious catapulting or vaulting of a team in the Colorado Rockies.
2:10.7	Let me interject here. Both of you are wrong. Uh oh. Both of you are wrong about this on the podcast that we did that featured Archie Bradley as a guest.
2:21.7	Yeah. Okay. We spent part of that time assessing the N-O-West and who we thought was going to win. And I was the only guy to pick the Dodgers and you guys actually cackled on the line when I did so.
2:32.7	Well, I mean, the here's the thing on August 22nd the Dodgers were four and a half games back of first place with the D-backs and Rockies both ahead of them and they've won 17 of the last 24.
