Hope a new hitting coach will bring out the untapped potential we all see in him

RIP Fernando. I enjoyed the way you pitched. Your Screwball added to your mix was something else.

Hopefully he can stay healthy, and whatever it is that is not clicking for MHII on the stolen base front -- someone can work with him to pinpoint that and he can improve that aspect of his game. He's got the speed, so it's either reading the pitcher or mechanics of the jump/lead. Looks like the Braves lost faith in his ability or were concerned about his injuries.

You can quote all the stats in the world those last 20 to 30 games there was no doubt Harris was the best hitter and defender on the team

HI Jake i am very mad at alex for not keeping freedie freeman and joc pederson and the short stop that went to the cubs, alex dropped the ball big time i hope the braves fire hime very soon.

Micheal HarrisII ~You are a Joy to watch on Defense. Could you give us 28hr/118rbi/30sb? Stay healthy 🎉🎉

I will always remember MHII as THE Rookie!!!!

I as, always love your podcast....But, your spelling is NOT great, Barley is a grain, Barely is the word, Great show....had to get your goat..............

I think MHII can reach peak Andrew Mccutchen stats.

I’ve always thought he could take that next step! Like everything you said. Better plate discipline and more steals would be awesome

I gotta be honest Jake, and it's probably because (well technically I never sell any of my Braves cards) but I have 2 guess you'd say higher end MH2's Rookie Cards, I've been high on him since day one...I will admit I noticed the pulling and roll-over ground balls this season a lot...and on his stealing...some folks will find this wrong because that's just how people are now, but if go and look at his quickness (not necessarily the amount of bases stolen) but his quickness has gone down, in my opinion, since he got the big $ bag...and I say this as a very very pro-Harris guy... he's gained weight...not put on weight as in muscle as some younger players will do, he "looks" heavier and his "quickness" this year just looked slower...I say this not knowing if it's completely true, but I can say if I'd been given that long term contract of 10's of millions at his age... I'm gonna probably gonna eat me a few things too, just being real...now I realize it could be something else, maybe health wise, maybe whatever, but he's not as fast (at the moment) as he was when he won rookie of the year...at least on the bases...in center field he still looks like gold all day, so maybe that alone blows my theory outta the water...maybe he's just not as good at knowing when to steal as I feel like I wish he was, maybe missing Eli at FB-coach has something to do with it.....either way, despite all that, I love me so MH2 and honestly think we haven't even scratched the surface on his ceiling offensively....I hope I'm right...great topic for a off season show...as always: Go Braves 2025 & Semper Fi'

Editing skills needed! Take another look at your video title. Corn, wheat, rice, barley?

He was our best hitter down the stretch. Be nice for him to get off to a hot start of the season for a change.

I mean, if the kid can stay healthy for one whole season which he has yet to do, he should be in MVP conversations most likely.

Wheat did you say about Harris?

Here's the thing with the misses or bad decisions such as the FF fiasco... his misses will cost the team for years. Olson... just ain't on FF level, even with his 23 season...FF still had a better year overall in LA. and if William Conteras continues to get better...boy oh boy! smh

Letting Freddie walk is still one of the worst decisions the Atlanta Braves organization has made

The solar trade made no sense at all. We already have Ozuna.

All those who think the Contreras trade was bad; think of how bad it was for the athletics not wanting him. Basically Contreras for Ruiz was a bigger misstep

Nick Markakis was signed under Jon Hart before Alex ever arrived.

I am probably not going to have a whole lot of people agree with me but I have seen A.A. make some dumb*** decisions. 26.5 mil for a left fielder who never has played well. Trading William Contreras and 5 other players for a catcher who completely forgot how to hit. Charlie Morton and his 100 million dollar contract after all the options were picked up. You let the face of our franchise leave after winning the world series. Brilliant move! 😂The foundation of our team was what Coppellella brought in Ronnie, Ozzie, Riley, AJ Minter, and traded for Max and Dansby. And yes i know all about his suspension which is b.s. considering the Astros cheated the game of baseball and stole a world series and got a slap on the wrist but signing 16 year old kids to more money is way worse. What a joke. I said when we won the World Series Snit and A.A. had 3 years to do nothing. Well times up its time to do something.

AA long term Roster building philosophy is Expert-level Once you hit championship level, he just has to take risk w/ 1-2 players expensive players to make @dynasty level expert 🎉🎉

AA is riding a train to Cooperstown.

Hate to gut-punch ya, Jake, but I think the Sean Murphy move was the worst big move AA made. That being said, nobody's perfect, and the "bigger" moves he makes does seem to work out more than others. You've got to also look at the moves he doesn't make. Keeping Snit around for another year is probably more about loyalty and knowing he's only got a year left, than it is about a smart baseball operations decision -- if that even is an AA decision.

AA should get his Ouija board and somehow make Kelenic move to Philly. No charge. That’ll make me happy. 😃

You know the algorithm comment vibes

Richard Rodriguez 🤮🤮🤮

This trade deadline was absolutely abysmal. There were no upgrades whatsoever to the team. Luke Jackson was horrid. Alex crapped The bed on that deadline. Bet next years will be much better.

Murphy was awful. However, when the move was made , it was the right thing. Murphy was on the up. He just hit a wall.

I think pierce Johnson is done. He had a horrible stretch to end the season. Then there was the homer to Lindor in game 161.

You act like AA had to make a move for Olson. Not true. Freddie wasn’t signed.

The thing that irks me about Alex is all the players he lets go. They should’ve bent over backwards to keep freeman. Olson is fine. But it was a huge mistake.

Good show Jake, i missed the last few with work & my mother's health declining (she's 75 & still hates the off season as much as any of us). Appreciate you helping us all get our Braves fix until Spring training...of course my happines was lifted this week as UGA beat Texas and (sorry i know ya from AL) but Tenn beat Bama..so short of the Braves playing deep in the postseason, thats the best i can ask for until we start the 2025 season... Go Braves 2025 Semper Fi'

AA is the greatest, but the worst move feels like Odorizzi... And Snit kept starting him the whole second half😂. Odorizzi made Bryce Elder look like Cy Young. My dad calls me in the middle of every game and he was like...who the eff is this guy, where did he come from, and why did they get him??😂😂😂.

What the heck happened with Kirby Yates this year.

I have to mention this since Richard Rodriguez was mentioned. No one knew he was going to be bad, as MLB implemented the checks for foreign substances on June 21, 2021, and he was one of the offenders. From the start of the season till June 20th, Rodriguez's spin rates on his fastball was 2582 rpm and his slider had a spin rate of 2511 rpm, but from June 21st on, his spin rates on his fastball dropped down to 2323 rpm, while his slider took a massive dive all the way down to 1991 rpm. So he lost 259 rpm on his fastball and lost a whopping 520 rpm on his slider after MLB started checking for foreign substances. Rodriguez's slider spin rate had never been below 2150 rpm back in 2018, and his fastball had never had a spin rate below 2347 rpm before this, which was also back in 2018 also.
