Stephen TolbertHOST
Yeah.
Stephen TolbertHOST
Yeah, it's not like, um, like Spencer Strider pinched out of, pitched out of the bullpen.
Stephen TolbertHOST
Max Fried pitched out of the bullpen.
Stephen TolbertHOST
Like, it's not a, [clears throat] it's not any sort of, like, condemnation on his entire career.
Spencer McKercherHOST
And obviously, Swallenbach is on the 60-day IL as well, and Bryce Oter on the 15-day IL-
Sean KaneHOST
Strider
Spencer McKercherHOST
... for them.
Sean KaneHOST
Wow.
Spencer McKercherHOST
And then, of course, like, Strider and doing whatever-
Sean KaneHOST
Yeah
Spencer McKercherHOST
... [laughs] Spencer Strider's doing.
Sean KaneHOST
Yeah.
Lindsey CrosbyHOST
Right.
Jake MastroianniHOST
That's different with Spencer Strider with two swing and miss pitches.
Jake MastroianniHOST
So if he can add in a third one there.
Jake MastroianniHOST
And as I said too, he's been great because he has located those pitches-
Erik KratzHOST
So, I appreciate that, Ken.
Erik KratzHOST
The one thing I need you to comment on, though, is what Mark Feinsand wrote about how the Braves possibly had a trade for Jacob deGrom to fill in what you said, that number two spot in the rotation for Spencer Strider, who was the number one before Chris Sale had ever gotten to Atlanta.
Erik KratzHOST
Is there...
Erik KratzHOST
Do you have anything more to add about that, but also does that show us where the Braves were trying to be in this trade deadline?
Jake MastroianniHOST
Let's get to the first one here from Rocky Hamilton, who says, "I read that Strider was part of the deal for deGrom.
Jake MastroianniHOST
How likely do you see a big Strider comeback tour in '27, or are his days in a Braves uniform more likely numbered?" So for me, I would never bet against Spencer Strider.
Jake MastroianniHOST
I think he is a guy that will figure it out, but he's gotta be healthy to do that, and that is a very big issue right now with Spencer Strider.
Jake MastroianniHOST
I don't, I don't think we're ever going to see the dominant version of Spencer Strider again, but if he can get healthy and sustain that health, I think he will figure this out somehow.
Jake MastroianniHOST
And that's more so just believing in the person rather than anything I've seen.
Jake MastroianniHOST
[laughs] 'Cause let's be honest, Spencer Strider's numbers have not been great, even when he's been on the mound here lately, and I think part of that is, you know, having to deal with the fact that he can't be the guy that he was before and that he's gonna have to change things up a little bit and trying to figure that out.
Jake MastroianniHOST
But like I said, I feel like once he does, he's still going to be a good pitcher.
Jake MastroianniHOST
But you look at the last three seasons now for Spencer Strider, just 134 and a third innings, a 4.62 ERA, a 1.4 whip for Spencer Strider.
Grant McCauleyHOST
And unfortunately for the Braves rotation, we have talked about injury after injury after injury.
Grant McCauleyHOST
It got started in spring training with Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrop and Spencer Strider.
Grant McCauleyHOST
It has extended its way through the season with all of those men having more injuries.
Grant McCauleyHOST
And in the case of Schwellenbach and Waldrop, season-ending surgery.
Grant McCauleyHOST
is where their seasons have gone.
Grant McCauleyHOST
And Spencer Strider, it doesn't sound like from Walt Weiss this week, is really any chance based on the timetable of pitching for the Braves this season.
Grant McCauleyHOST
The Braves haven't come out and said that, but if you're reading the tea leaves, I mean, if he's not throwing and he's not phasing hitters and he's not going out on a rehab assignment anytime soon, I don't think you can expect Spencer Strider to really be a factor in all of this.
Grant McCauleyHOST
But the latest pitching injury for the Braves was actually the guy who was kind of the quiet innings eater and the workhorse, if you will, of this rotation.
Jake MastroianniHOST
I just feel like it's too late in the season for them to really make enough of an impression to get a, a any run in the postseason.
Jake MastroianniHOST
Large Lar says, "Do you think a trade of Spencer Strider for Willy Adames would work for the Braves?" I absolutely do not.
Jake MastroianniHOST
Adames is owed 31 million guaranteed for five more seasons, and it goes back to the conversation we had in the first segment.
Jake MastroianniHOST
He is a boom or bust hitter.
Joe OrricoHOST
Let us know in the comments.
Joe OrricoHOST
Which side of that do you think would have been the preferable side to come out on? Would you rather have a 38-year-old Jacob deGrom or Spencer Strider, who's about 10 years his junior, but has also had a bit of a shaky trajectory over the last couple of years, to put it kindly?
Casey BubbaHOST
Just picture sale to Grom as your one-two punch in the playoffs.
Casey BubbaHOST
You're feeling pretty good about life.
Adam WeinribHOST
I don't know why we were talking about this this week, but I think people know we need content.
Adam WeinribHOST
And it sort of leaked out that, hey, Spencer Strider was part of that Braves offer for Jacob deGrom, but the Rangers turned it to, I mean, deGrom spiked this.
Adam WeinribHOST
We all know how this trade ended up on the cutting room floor.
Adam WeinribHOST
But do we think that is, as you like to say, legit dope? And do we think Spencer Strider is still available in a bad contract swap this offseason? Because I've started to look around at, like, the San Francisco Giants have some guys they'd like to get rid of.
Adam WeinribHOST
Does Spencer Strider feel like a nice fit in the Bay Area? Yeah.
Adam WeinribHOST
uh philly's rotation you mentioned it'll be hard to see a fit there between the braves and phillies but white socks rotation needs some underscoring cubs rotation could use i'm just i'm starting to pick up the pieces if we do believe that strider was a main part of the degrom return that degrom said no way i'm not leaving um how far does this go where does strider go does strider go somewhere
Robert MurrayHOST
So I will start off.
Jeff WilsonHOST
I would say no.
Jeff WilsonHOST
But the trade that he, uh, declined, there's a thought that Spencer Strider was the, uh, return.
Jeff WilsonHOST
Uh, Strider's been very, very injured, um, so I don't know, uh, how serious that would've been.
Jeff WilsonHOST
I don't think the Rangers would wanna trade deGrom for a guy who's gonna be on the injured list three or four times a year.
