00:00strider was okay but will record a loss in his season debut in 2025 because he gave up two earned

00:07runs in his atlanta team offensively only scored run one excuse me both of the two earned strider

00:15allowing yesterday off the bat of vladimir guerrero jr an rbi single to open up the scoring

00:21in the home half of the third and then a few frames later finally in his 72nd at-bat of the

00:28season vladimir jr hits one over the wall his first home run of the year toronto ends up with a 3-1

00:35victory over the brave strider makes 97 pitches in his 2025 debut donnie but as you see there we'll

00:42record the loss in that season opener for him yeah it'll get better throughout the summer as well

00:47you know you're pitching in a dome so you really didn't have too much of those elements like well

00:50what did you want him to do in 44 degree temperatures it wasn't that i'm not worried about him i'm worried

00:54about the team in the atlanta braves himself he'll be fine he'll be stretched out longer as the season

00:58goes those strikeout rates will certainly improve from 5ks into five innings where you'll see those

01:02five innings in eight to nine strikeouts that's what strider actually provides but look at the

01:07braves offense overall yesterday there's nothing more demoralizing than the strikeout and when we

01:12talk about strikeouts they struck out 19 times as a team but look at this your first two batters in

01:18the lineup forget about also they struck out three times went 0 for 4 with four strikeouts they didn't touch

01:23a baseball they didn't even get on base at all in 0 for 8 with 8ks nothing productive coming your way

01:29that's never going to help and then also actually had a base hit but still struck out three times here

01:34and it's only hitting 203 on the season we want to hope that as the temperatures get warmer and down

01:38into big a things will be just fine there and the pitching staff will come around you'll like that

01:42but this is alarming at this rate it's 18 games into the season with not really any signs of life

01:48from that offense and marzo zuna now on the not only i don't think he got put on the il but he's been

01:52out a couple games there waiting to see what that hip injury is going to be he was their best player

01:56now he's down for an extended period of time there's nothing in that lineup that looks good right now at

02:01all
