Podcast appearances and mentions of Aaron Bummer

Notes on Aaron Bummer, Nebraska's postseason exit, and the entrants into the transfer portal for the Huskers, how to get more consistency from the program, and a stray thought on Jac Caglianone.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Anytime you can talk to a player who is living life with a nickname given to them by Joe Kelly it's a great day. That was just one of the reasons it was fantastic for Bradfo to catch up with Braves reliever Aaron Bummer - AKA, 'FIP God' - to talk about bullpens and baseball. The guy who was traded for five players explains where baseball is going wrong and right when it comes to building reliable relief pitching. There is also some great 'A Damn Near Perfect Game' reflection.

Finally we do a deep dive into the Yips! What are they? What causes them? Who's gotten them? How to fix it? We talk about it. References this week include Tread Athletics' Article: The Theory behind the Yips in Baseball and Mark Kelly's MLB article.

Brad Rowland and Scott Coleman co-host Episode 108 of the Hammer Territory podcast. The discussion breaks down new contracts for Reynaldo Lopez and Aaron Bummer, the Jorge Soler trade, the start of MLB Free Agency on Monday, potential targets for the Atlanta Braves, and much more.

It's without debate that the Braves would not have sniffed the playoffs without the heroics of their starting rotation. Even with Spencer Strider going down with injury, Chris Sale, Max Fried, Reynaldo Lopez, and rookie Spencer Schwellenbach were terrific. Can they run it back in 2025 as Strider returns? The biggest question is, will Max Fried exit via free agency? We also discuss: Jorge Soler traded to the Angels for Griffin Canning Hitting Coach Tim Hyers' hitting philosophy Reynaldo Lopez and Aaron Bummer's new contracts Braves sit at #3 for 2025 World Series odds #braves #mlb

The Braves rallied on Wednesday afternoon to wrap up a sweep of the Astros and conclude a 5-1 road trip. David (From Houston) & Eric though begin with the negative of the trip, which was Ozzie Albies landing on the IL due to a fractured toe. Luis Guillorme got the start at 2B in the final two games in Texas and David Fletcher was a late game defensive replacement on Wednesday. (06:30) Reynaldo Lopez started the middle game of the series and earned the victory in six innings of scoreless work. Lopez has only allowed one run in three outings so far this season. (14:00) As impressive as Lopez has been, Max Fried has not been his usual self. He issued four walks in just five innings on Wednesday and his ERA through four starts this season is 7.71. (18:30) Marcell Ozuna homered on Wednesday to extend his hitting streak to 16 games. His current OPS is a jaw dropping 1.135 and is tied for the MLB home run lead with Mike Trout at eight. (23:10) The bullpen bounced back after a dip last week vs. the Mets and the only runs allowed by them all series were by Aaron Bummer on Tuesday night in the 9th inning. Pierce Johnson made two appearances in Houston and recorded four strikeouts. (33:00) Darius Vines pitched on Monday and earned himself another start by only allowing one run. (35:00) Chadwick Tromp has impressed everyone so far while filling in for the injured Sean Murphy. He started on Tuesday in Houston and came through with a pair of hits that led to two RBIs. (45:00) An extended conversation on the positive culture that permeates throughout the franchise and leads to winning baseball despite various setbacks. Learn more about your ad choices.

David & Eric welcome in their first guest to "755 Forever", C.J. Nitkowski.  C.J. will be the primary analyst for the Bally Sports South team after spending the past six seasons behind the mic in Texas. C.J. pitched in The Big Leagues for over a decade and was on the mound for the Braves in 2004 as he shares his fond memories of playing under Bobby Cox.(15:30) They dig into the seemingly stacked Atlanta bullpen heading into Spring Training. Tune in for his optimistic outlook on Aaron Bummer, who was traded for in December from the White Sox. They also touch upon the recent addition of Ken Giles, reliever who the Braves signed last week to a minor league deal.(32:00) C.J. shares his perspective on Jarred Kelenic and what to expect from the new outfielder. He points out some of the hurdles he faced in Seattle, including overlapping with the emergence of Julio Rodriguez.(40:00) A discussion on Charlie Culberson and his attempt to pivot to reliever in his mid 30's. C.J. explains why believes in guys giving it every last chance to keep on their spikes. (44:35) C.J. explains his path in media after finishing his playing career. He has over a decade of experience in both national and local broadcasts.

Our first full episode at "755 Forever" as David & Eric catch you up on the flurry of roster moves that Alex Anthopoulos orchestrated this offseason.(04:00) An extended conversation on the addition of LHP Chris Sale,  who the Braves seemingly have the luxury as slotting as their 4th starter. His ERA was above 4.00 last season in Boston, but he did strikeout 11 batters per every 9 innings. Get to know the litany of pitchers behind him vying for the 5th spot in the rotation.(22:30) Jarred Kelenic is now in a drastically different situation in Atlanta than his time in Seattle. He was traded for during the Winter Meetings and is expected to hit in the bottom part of the order, unlike his time at cleanup with the Mariners.(30:00) Maybe the most important offseason move was the extension of GM Alex Anthopoulos all the way through 2031. Ever since he came to town, the Braves have not lost the NL East.(40:00) A look at how the bullpen is stacking up for 2024. Aaron Bummer was acquired in exchange for 5 players from the White Sox, and Reynaldo Lopez was inked to a 3 year deal. Hear about the other moves that are fortifying the 'pen during this very busy Winter.(48:30) Max Fried has a crucial season upcoming as he will be a Free Agent (as of now) in November. Hear why it is unlikely that he will reach an extension in the middle of the year.(51:00) Next week the new Hall of Fame Class will be announced and among those under serious consideration are Andruw Jones and Billy Wagner. Eric overlapped in Atlanta with Billy during 2010 and very clearly makes the case why "Wags" should be headed to Cooperstown. 

Record Date: 12/28/2023 Rundown: [Intro] Jim is back from holiday break [3:22] White Sox sign Martin Maldonado in an attempt to solidify the catching position. Josh and Jim like what Maldonado brings in blocking and countering the running game, but his poor framing is a big concern. [27:24] Maybe Tim Hill is a poor man's Aaron Bummer. A lot will depend on how Hill heals from a ligament injury in his throwing hand and if he can regain velocity with his sinker. [41:41] This episode marks the last in 2023 calendar year.

The Atlanta Braves have made some moves, but their biggest needs and wants have yet to be supplied by their winter shopping. Grant McAuley returns to discuss a very busy few weeks in November as Atlanta trimmed its roster and made a flurry of moves while preparing for what could be much more to come this offseason. From the trades of Kyle Wright and Michael Soroka which led the acquisition of bullpen pieces headlined by Aaron Bummer, to another free-agent signing in hard-throwing Reynaldo Lopez, to the pursuit of some big name free agent pitchers that did not materialize, Alex Anthopoulos has maintained a busy schedule and a high profile this winter. Could he go back to the familiar well and swing a trade to supply his team with the rotation reinforcements needed to help the club in 2024 and beyond? What will the Braves do about their left field vacancy? We'll tackle all of that and answer your questions about the Braves' winter moves on an all new episode of the show!

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 19, 2023 @ 3 pm ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Braves trade Kyle Wright to the Royals for Jackson Kowar. Wright will miss most of the 2024 season recovering from shoulder surgery and is a long-term play for the Royals. He will be under team control for 2025 and 26. Jackson Kowar hasn't developed.a.Your thoughts on the trade?2.The Marlins acquired Vidal Brujan and RHP Calvin Faucher from the Rays for IF Erick Lara and RHP Andrew Lindsey. Brujan is the name here and brings big speed. Will he get enough playing time in Miami to warrant any interest?a.Don't dismiss Lara. He's a 17-year-old kid who played well in the DSL, walking nearly as much as he struck out with a little bit of speed and power.b.Lindsey was the Marlins fifth-round pick last July and was the University of Tennessee Friday Night starter. His fastball is up to 98 with a plus slider. He did turn 24 last week and has only pitched in the Complex League. He should be watched very closely. 3.The Braves acquired Aaron Bummer from the White Sox for five players. The five players going back to the White Sox are RHP Mike Soroka, LHP Jared Shuster, MI Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake, and RHP Riley Gowens.a.On the surface, it looks like a lot for Bummer, but he's controllable for three years, and his stuff is better than you think. He's a sinkerballer with an xSLG of .386 despite an SLG of 452. His signature pitch is his sweeper, and it's one of the best in baseball. It's a good arm.b.In return, the White Sox get a lot of famous guys, but all of them have hair on them. Soroka has never stayed healthy. Jared Shuster was a top-ranked prospect until we got a look at his Statcast data. It's not great with a below-average fastball and two solid but unspectacular secondary pitches in his cutter and change-up.c.Braden Shewmake might be the most interesting of the bunch. He makes great contact with plus speed (27 SB in Triple-A) with a little bit of power. He can play both second and short and might get a shot at short if Colson Montgomery needs more grooming in the minor leagues.4.The Rockies acquired Cal Quantrill from the Guardians. He was one of your sleepers last year. I'm going out on a limb and thinking…not so much for 2024.5.A bunch of players were non-tendered over the weekend.a.Brandon Woodruff – shoulder issuesb.Nick Senzel – Is he any good?c.Danny Vogelbach – The Mets fans are surely pleased.Segment 2 – Fantasy questions of the AL Central1.Chicago White Soxa.I think it's safe to say that Oscar Colas did not set the world on fire in 2023. He hit .216 with a .257 OBP. He does hit the ball hard (114 max exit velo) but has never had great leverage in his swing. Of course, he's also never walked. i.He's going as the 120th outfielder off the board. Pick 537. Any interest?b.Who will you be suggesting for saves in Chicago this season? i.How many?c.Dylan Cease – Stat line for 2024. IP, wins, Ks, and ERA.i.Which team does he start the 2024 season, and which does he end the season with?d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)2.Cleveland Guardiansa.The Guardians recently acquired Ramon Laureano. He doesn't appear to be the high-contact player that like to roster, yet he is the starting right fielder. Over/Under 400 Abs.b.Stat line for Kyle Manzardo. AB, HR, BA, RBI.c.Bo Naylor is going as the 12th catcher off the board. He will finish the season as the _______ catcher in fantasy baseball.d.Triston McKenzie only started four games last season and is going 90th pitcher off the board…call it 60th starter. Did you think there is sneaky value there?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)3.Detroit Tigersa.True or False. Riley Greene will have a breakout season in 2024.b.Javier Baez is signed for another four years and $98 million. No question…just an observation.c.Kerry Carpenter is going as a number three outfielder (43). Early drafters must think there is more in the tank than 20 home runs. What say you?d.Who would you rather have, Reese Olson at pick 252 or Sawyer Gibson-Long at pick 321?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)4.Kansas City Royalsa.Vinnie P. should be back in 2024. He is going as the 17th first baseman off the board. Is there value there or is there too much risk?b.Will Eddie Olivares break my heart again? I'm thinking 15-15 with a .260 to .270 average? He did 12-11 last year in 385 Pas.c.Cole Ragans has flown up draft list. He is the 52nd pitcher, but the 37th starting pitcher. Is he worth being your number three starter?d.Over/Under 100 losses for the Royals.e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)5.Minnesota Twinsa.Annual Question – Over/Under 100 games for Byron Buxton. He only did that in 2017 when he played 140 games. b.With all the talk of Carlos Correa's injury concerns, he's played the last three seasons basically injury-free (148 games, 136 and 135). The real question might be his eroding production. He only hit 18 home runs last season with a 46% groundball rate. He still hits the ball hard, but his launch angel continues to flatten. Over/Under 20 home runs in 2024?c.I debated including Joe Ryan in my sleeper pitcher list, but he was one of the final cuts. I like the new splitter, the xERA of 3.53, and the much better xSLG than SLG on all his pitches. However, he is the 30th starter off the board (44th pitcher overall), and I thought that was too much. i.What are your thoughts?d.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Majors)CloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement

Ben and Carlos chat about MLB awards season, despite the fact that most of the winners were unanimous and ultimately not too surprising. After that the two talk about the PPI picks that the D-Backs and Orioles will receive thanks to Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson, and the pros and cons of all of the new rule changes in regards to the draft—and it seems like mostly pros outside of additional headaches that Carlos has to deal with. The two briefly talk about the Braves-White Sox trade that put Aaron Bummer in Atlanta and sent a five-player package to Chicago, before touching on the 40-man roster deadline and talking a bit of Rule 5 draft. The two also examine some of the first round misses that the protection deadline highlighted, including Twins shortstop Keoni Cavaco, Twins first baseman Aaron Sabato and Royals lefthander Asa Lacy. What are the lessons to be drawn from those picks?The bulk of the episode is spent analyzing the farm systems for the NL Central clubs. Just how good is the Brewers farm system? Which of these teams has surged forward over the second half of the season given their 2023 draft and prospect finishes? And which clubs or prospects do the two disagree on?
