00:00it. Also you take a look at the Atlanta Braves trying to fight for their playoff lives right

00:06now. The hits just keep on coming here. Ronaldo Lopez to the I.L. It was an elbow before.

00:12Now it's shoulder. You're going on the I.L. mid-September. This is devastating news. But

00:16also, Craig, is there a chance he comes back or is this basically shutting him down the

00:19rest of the way? It doesn't seem optimistic to me at this point when you have a shoulder

00:25injury to a pitcher that's forced to go to the injured list. Because again, if you think

00:29about it, he's going to be gone for almost two weeks. Then there's a build back up. I

00:33mean, if the Braves, Donnie, were to get deep into the postseason, could he come back as

00:37a relief pitcher or something along those lines? Yeah, I mean, I guess that's possible.

00:42But I got to tell you that the Braves, whatever I know, Braves fans are upset they're not

00:47hitting and that's another story. But if there's ever a season to give a mulligan to a team,

00:53it is the Atlanta Braves this year. I don't know any other team where you can lose the

00:57best hitter in the league, the best pitcher in the league, and then have all these other

01:00issues to injuries and everybody else. And we're talking about Acuna and Strider. The

01:04fact that the Braves are still even in this thing is remarkable. Snickers should get manager

01:08of the year votes. I know that the fans are upset. They have not hit. Riley has not hit

01:12the way they thought. Olsen has not hit the way they thought. Harris has not hit the way

01:15they thought. I can keep going. I got to give him a mulligan for the year.
