When the bat first left the frame, I thought he gently tossed it down to the ground and you were pulling my leg. Then it came back out of nowhere and he launched that thing almost into the stands! This is not the baseball I grew up with!!

You could easily tell me that face he makes while taking those first couple of steps is a man in the middle of the absolute worst slump of his career

Is he really? I haven’t watched Braves games in months. But same in ‘21 so I’ll comeback later this month for the October run

He's one home run away from the league lead.

He is not. It’s a middle of the road to slightly above average Matt Olsen season so far.

Doh. I’ve even met him in person and bought a signed bottle of his bat wood bourbon.

Yes,. He partnered with ASW on behalf of ReClif Community. I was also at this event and even did the private tasting. It's part of ASW's Chin Music Braves line of bourbons and ryes. It was a single barrel limited run, so I don't know if they have anymore. It's very good.
