0:03
and strikes out for out number one.
0:07
How about you breaking out the band name
0:09
right from the get
0:10
before you did?
0:10
Yeah.
0:13
Went around. Struck out. Maldonado.
0:19
late on this fast ball down on Shri,
0:26
but Grant Holmes has struck him out
0:28
twice tonight.
0:31
And Holmes with a 2-2 and he got him.
0:34
Wow, that slide.
0:39
And here it's the slider that gets him.
0:42
Those two starters, as you mentioned,
0:43
one and two, not the results that I
0:46
think any of us were anticipating. Yeah.
0:48
Yes, you want to have it, but there's
0:49
also these parameters that you were kind
0:51
of built to be in anyway,
0:53
but that's right down the middle. I
0:54
don't know what real mutes are. Two on,
0:56
two out, one ball, two strike pitch. He
0:59
struck him out.
1:01
25 and a big 3-2 pitch. He struck him
1:05
out. Got 95 by him.
1:08
Growing and these guys when they, you
1:11
know, everyone always talks about
1:12
winning. Everyone always talks about
1:14
chemistry
1:15
home runs, but he's hitting the ball all
1:16
over the ballpark
1:17
with this approach. He'll hit 20 by
1:18
accident.
1:20
Swinging a miss here that
1:21
is there. And sometimes it's a subtle
1:23
thing. Maybe if you're landing too hard,
1:24
you're moving forward too much. And
1:26
maybe you can. He doesn't remind me in a
1:28
way of like a Paul Moler because he's
1:30
not like that's a different short to the
1:32
ball. Molader.
1:37
That is right down the middle. Julian
1:39
knew it. And home strikes.
1:45
That's another one that's right in
1:47
there. Two strikeouts. Both looking and
1:49
both.
1:53
Did he go? He did. Struck him out again.
1:57
This time on the slider. That is a big
2:03
That's in there right at the knees. 95
2:06
from Holmes. Big second.
2:12
Looks like a good decision at the knees.
2:15
He freezes Ryan Jeffers.
2:19
Here is number 105.
2:22
Called strike to get Brooks Lee him
2:26
right here.
2:30
Did he check? Nope. Then Vander rings
2:33
him up here with nobody on. pitching out
2:35
of the stretch in that lower leg kick
2:38
and getting the strike out just about
2:40
everything. Hard hit balls, exit
2:41
velocity.
2:44
Oh boy. Got caught looking at a fast
2:45
ball right there as Holmes strikes out
2:47
as Corbin Carroll leads off the fifth.
2:50
Kendall Graven also threw today. Face
2:53
six batters had three strikeouts as
2:54
Corbin punches out for the second time.
2:58
One two from Holmes. Got him. went to
3:02
the curveball to strike out Otani to
3:04
start.
3:07
Mookie bats is down quickly.
3:11
Holmes gets a couple of MVPs.
3:14
Two down, one-two pitch. My oh my. Grant
3:18
Holmes just struck out. Sh on as this
3:21
game goes.
3:24
Got him. Four strikeouts through six
3:26
hitters for Holmes and he's retired all
3:29
six he's faced.
3:32
Two-2 to Michael Conforto.
3:34
That is right there at the knees.
3:37
Beautiful. Five strikeouts.
3:41
Holmes. Two-2. My goodness. Grant Holmes
3:45
is in.
3:47
Holmes kicks and fires. Struck him out.
3:50
Slider down and in.
3:53
A homer by Hernandez.
3:57
But looking good right now. He has tied
4:00
his careerhigh if he goes back to the
4:02
high leg kick here. Yep.
4:05
Careerhigh nine strikeouts for Grant
4:08
Holmes.
4:13
Swigging a miss. Curve ball again.
4:16
That's what we grew up watching. We were
4:17
die hard Braves fans.
4:18
Anytime we hear somebody plays catcher,
4:20
we got to ask why did you play catcher
4:21
to it? And now I kind of enjoy it.
4:24
It's cool to have Ty Dylan here. Look
4:26
that as Holmes is able to get the strike
4:28
out of Mlan.
4:33
3-2 and well located. Nothing Hines
4:35
could do with that. The first five
4:37
rounds. Josh and Bo at the major league
4:40
level.
4:42
Holmes gets a
4:43
bottom part of the zone.
4:46
There you go again. Really strong start
4:49
for Grant Holmes. 24.
4:52
Holmes with the O2 to Abrams. He got
4:55
him. Really good start for Grant.
4:59
And he gets Ruiz.
5:01
A curveball that fooled the catcher.
5:06
02 pitch. Swinging a miss. Four
5:10
strikeouts. First time through the order
5:12
last year.
5:14
Three and two.
5:15
Strike three
5:16
in there. Strike three. A fast ball.
5:18
Bottom of the zone.
5:21
Back-to-back sliders to him. Two and
5:23
two. And there's another one. Strike
5:25
three. You bullpen.
5:31
Wave and a miss.
5:33
An extra hop to it in the middle of the
5:35
zone.
5:37
Swing and a miss. Strike three. It comes
5:39
up as a cut.
5:40
Forget about that cuz he's back to
5:42
normal.
5:43
Three fast balls into a curveball. A
5:46
beautiful sequence. And now here he is
5:49
their catcher in 2025. And a wave and a
5:52
miss at the slide.
5:55
Another one two to Croninworth. Got him.
5:58
Good curve ball. There's the
6:00
out of the strike zone with it.
6:05
Check down. He went Hey, 95 on
6:12
swinging. Need a slower breaking ball
6:14
here. Potentially down and away.
6:17
Called strike on the slide.
6:22
Two, two. Got him. That's the slider.
6:25
That's his best pitch.
6:30
Check. Swing. He went
6:33
watching from the sidelines.
6:35
One, two.
6:37
That's the slider. That's a swing.
6:42
Positions.
6:47
That's strike three called
6:50
and that's just dirty front door. I used
6:52
to my pitching coaches used to tell me
6:54
that all the time. If you want to know
6:56
what it looks like from the side, just
6:57
watch what the hitters do.
6:59
Grant Holmes, this is the guy hadn't
7:02
been in the big leagues before and he'd
7:03
been in the minors for 10 years.
7:06
That's a swing and a miss and Arvas goes
7:08
down
7:08
and that's a nasty slider week. But it's
7:10
also with young guys, there's a patient
7:12
aspect and seeing the big picture and
7:14
long term and too many of I just I
7:18
thought it would go so analytical that
7:20
we would call it through information at
7:22
some point, but um what do I know?
7:25
It's going back to last year.
7:29
And that is a punch out
7:32
within striking distance of 500 at 30
7:35
and 31.
7:37
But a swing and a miss for Marte and
7:39
there. Yeah, you think about for Holmes,
7:42
for Elder, for Schwelenbach as
7:46
you can have your you pick and choose,
7:47
but to your point, yeah, you're going to
7:48
learn a lot talking to Chris S, but he's
7:51
got a little different pair of sliders.
7:54
See if he can put him away. He can. He
7:56
will. Three sliders
7:58
defense.
8:02
He strikes out on that slider from
8:04
Holmes. Couple of KS
8:05
after the Braves have put up five runs
8:08
in the third.
8:11
And on the outside corner, Grant Holmes.
8:17
There's a swing and a miss. Durban
8:19
strikes out. Murphy clears himself and
8:21
throws him out. An indicator in his hand
8:23
and that's that's an issue. But there's
8:26
a swing and a miss and Terra strikes out
8:28
swinging.
8:34
checked the swing and he went. Third
8:37
base umpire Mike Molinsky.
8:42
Struck him out. Curve ball that never
8:44
got over the plate. Ends up striking
8:46
out. All starts anyway.
8:47
Yeah. Throws are right on the money to
8:49
first base.
8:50
He's swinging a miss. And Terang is
8:56
swinging a miss. He threw nothing but
8:58
heaters. and Holmes.
9:04
And that one a curveball that Contrarus
9:07
struck the most encouraging sign of the
9:09
game.
9:11
And what an encouraging start for Grant.
9:13
Really special day.
9:17
And now one year later, he is a foul
9:20
ball gives him a chance now to go to one
9:21
of these really good breaking pitches
9:23
like that.
9:24
Y and so that to me that's going to be
9:25
key today because it has been somewhat
9:27
of an issue. He's thrown two sliders
9:29
here so far to Doyle.
9:31
There you go. Another one. He struck him
9:33
out. He's awaits a two- two pitch here.
9:37
And Holmes got him again with the slam.
9:44
A check down. Yep. Make it seven.
9:49
But he is very strikeout. And it is now.
9:56
Well, it looks like yesterday seventh
9:58
today.
10:03
Yes, that's the first one looking,
10:10
but he's going down swinging here.
10:15
Give him a dozen.
10:18
Same thing right now.
10:20
It's kind of fun. Oh, yeah.
10:22
Frozen pizza. It's number 80 for Grant.
10:27
Swing and a miss for throw strata
10:33
and Holmes with 15 strikeouts. Well,
10:36
that gets in there. That's a run.
10:40
Swing it a miss on the 02.
10:43
Now there's two out. It'll be Kyle Stard
10:45
hitting 285 after that single.
10:49
Swinging a miss.
10:53
One, two. Lopez swings and misses. Boy,
10:56
every single time
10:58
pitchers in their franchise history,
11:02
swing at a miss
11:03
that have had
11:04
two two count. Grant Holmes trying to
11:06
get out of a pickle. And he does.
11:10
And he does it with the slider. But the
11:12
lobster that that really
11:15
and makes it swinging a miss and Holmes
11:18
with a cutter strikes out McNeel a
11:20
thousand
11:22
two and two to Taylor and he goes down
11:24
swinging on a curveball. So back to back
11:27
strike
11:31
and Lor goes down swinging on the back
11:33
foot slider. Holmes needed a strike.
11:38
One two from Holmes. Looked like he
11:40
went. Yes, he did. Torenz is down on
11:43
strikes. The
11:44
He got benched for lack of effort the
11:47
other day. Swinging a miss. And
11:49
Mauricio's down on strikes. That's 5ks
11:51
for
11:53
one, two from Holmes. And that breaking
11:55
ball swung and missed. And Taylor's
11:58
down. Comes to strikes looking above
12:00
average for Derek Thomas.
12:03
That one bat. Here's the seven pitch to
12:05
Adele
12:07
and he struck him out. A force over here
12:09
to Atlanta. He was in the outfield
12:11
because of Marcel and now with the
12:12
Angels in the outfield a lot more
12:15
and he's striking out here down.
12:19
Another one-two pitch and he struck him
12:21
out as he went back to the slider
12:27
and Holmes sets him down with a slider.
12:30
It's the longest in the sport a decade
12:31
now.
12:34
But right now, Grant Home
12:37
Grant trying to put away O'Happy and
12:39
that will do it. He's struck
12:45
down goes Zack Neto swinging.
12:49
Elder will get the start in the final
12:50
game of the series.
12:53
Yes, at the knee. One, two. He struck
12:58
him out again. Well, Grant Holmes did
13:01
his coming back to
13:05
swinging a miss. Holmes is settling in
13:07
just a 10 pitch inning.
13:12
He cannot though. Ultimately Holmes wins
13:14
the battle. Gets his third.
13:16
Now can he finish him? That's what he
13:17
needs is a big strikeout.
13:19
And he gets that strike out
13:22
and O'Harn back to
13:24
333 with runners in score position. And
13:26
that's why the offense is ticked up a
13:27
little bit.
13:28
But not here. Grant Holmes freezes Urias
13:31
and gets two.
13:34
Two- two
13:36
strike three bottom of the zone.
13:39
Schwelenbach is something you don't hear
13:41
too much of.
13:43
Had just a small fracture in his elbow.
13:46
38. We'll see what he can do in the
13:48
second half. He was on such an
13:50
unbelievable tear.
13:51
Hey, Holmes strikes him out and he got
13:53
it.
13:56
Another 2-2 and Grant Holmes gets him.
