This is CBS Fortytwo's Coaches Talk,
sponsored by McDonald's.
After a open week and excited to see our kids
this afternoon and
get the week started off right,
preparing to go to Baton Rouge to play a
very difficult opponent. I think their offense is the it's
the most explosive that I've seen
in a long, long time.
I didn't. I wasn't to coaching when
they had their run with Joe Burrow and them.
But this, this, this quarterback,
if if he's not in the Heisman discussion,
there's a there's a problem.
But he's playing at an incredibly high level.
Tigers will be on the hunt for their first SEC
win of the year,
traveling the Baton Rouge. All the action will start at
6:00 PM on Saturday.
Happy Monday evening, everybody. Game two of the National League
Divisional Series for the Braves in the Phillies.
Atlanta looking to even this series.
And honestly, for Atlanta fans,
you don't want to see anything of this game until
this 32.
Count Austin Riley in the air,
deep to the left and it's going to be gone.
A2 run bomb to put the Braves out in front.
Five to four in the bottom of the eighth,
now moving to the bottom of the ninth.
Here, two out with a runner on for the Phils,
The swing out to right,
but it's going to be robbed by the Braves outfield
right there.
A chance for the double play for the
Phils and it's going to stay with the out Harper
can't be safe.
Braves witness 1/5 to four.
Sad news for Philly fans like myself,
however, not for sports director Dee Jackson,
who has more on this game from Atlanta.
Well,
43,893 fans packed true as Park on Monday night,
a new single game record,
and they had a chance to see a little bit
of magic for the Braves,
although it didn't start that way.
Really a game that had two halves,
the Braves bats were ice cold to begin.
But when the Braves needed a wake up call,
Austin Riley answered the bill with the blast this sellout
crowd had been waiting for.
You know, just trying to
put up a competitive bat.
You know, at the end of the day,
you know you're not and not not trying to do
too much and just try to be in the moment.
And you know I actually stepped out and looked over
and sight There's,
you know, I I sometimes overstride when big moments and
get too,
you know, amped up. And he just kind of was,
you know, tell me to calm down.
Zach Wheeler took a no hitter into the six before
giving up a walk to Ronald Lacuna,
who was just the second base runner of the game
for the Braves before Ozzy Albius came through with a
clutch single in the bottom of the sixth.
Driving in the Kuna on a traitor error,
Matt Olsen and travesty Arnault provided a spark for Atlanta
in the 7th and a monster played by Michael Harris
the 2nd to end the game capped off the momentum
this team desperately needed. I mean,
I feel like we have the momentum right now there
after a comeback like that.
So just just keeping it alive and and keeping the
intensity up and trying to smoke runs early.
You know, you're able to battle back and and dig
deep and and find a way to push the win
across going to Philly.
And now we're looking at a three-game series.
And that confidence booster and momentum is key for the
Braves as they move into game three,
which is set for Wednesday in Philadelphia.
In Atlanta, I'm Dee Jackson.
We'll send it back to you.
Thanks so much, Steve. Definitely a great win for Atlanta.
Game three is going to be a good one.
That will do it for sports.
We will be.
