GOAT in my opinion is Maddux! This guy threw 88-90 all his career in the steroid era when big flies were the norm and how he navigated through lineups every 5th day was second to none in the modern era. I’ll never forget the CG he threw vs the Cubs. He threw 78 pitches! Pitchers today throw 78 pitches by the 4th inning!

[@thepunditspundit1776]

When you see big power hitters up, you know Maddux is licking his chops

[@carteljameson8395]

Not his entire career. He was throwing around 93 in the minors and his first few years in the league. But at his best, 88-90 is indeed where he sat.

[@eaglewinnings8003]

Lol false. While I agree Maddux is one of the GOATS, he threw 92-94 early in his Cubs career/Braves career. Glavine is the one who barely ever cracked 90 and had a HOF career. He was a wizard.

[@ASDF84.0]

sometimes i wish i was born in the early 80's and not 95... just so i could see when MLB was actually having pitchers pitch a game lol ugh.. but ill say the home runs these guys hit are pretty neat lol

[@doublem1975x]

Maddux would get hammered today.

[@wheelinthesky300]

I like how quiet and restrained the broadcasters are. No histrionics or unnecessary chitchat.

[@wvXvxvXvw]

Prime Maddux, Chipper and Andruw. This was, in my opinion, the best Atlanta Braves team in history. It was one of the best baseball teams in history. Imagine if you could put Andruw, Acuna and Hank in the outfield with Chipper, Andrelton, Furcal and Freeman in the infield. Pair them with Smoltz and Brian McCann and you have the greatest baseball team of all time.On the bench would be Prado, Javy Lopez, Heyward and Murphy. The bullpen would be Kimbrel, Avery, Wholers and Rocker. If dreams came true.....

[@jeffwright4491]

Helluva team....You'd want Maddux circa '92-'95 when he was the best pitcher on the planet. Glavine circa '91-'93. Smoltz "96-'98. Throw in late 70's Niekro as your innings eating #4 guy since Hank is playing. Late 50's early 60's Hank when he was the at his absolute best. Hard to imagine anyone beating that team. You'd have 4 20+ game winners with a slam the door pen and an absolute beastly offense. Speaking of....which park would you want to watch them play in? Personally I have a soft spot for Fulton County aka the Launching Pad. Freeman would LOVE that park.

[@bravesrule384]

Don't forget Big Cat, Andres Gallaragga!

[@davidvescovo8941]

Maddux was the best! Love these old games.

[@jasoncornell1481]

I love Greg Maddux he is my all time favorite pitcher.

[@scienceman2024]

Thank you for this!! So many memories of watching the Braves on TBS for many, many years.

[@dustindale8728]

Same with my grandma

[@christopherjefferson3561]

I used to love watching him warm up. Accurate is understatement

[@jgjgrner4647]

Same I wish I could find all these damn games but there is a ton on here. You guys watch the full game, m

[@jgjgrner4647]

?*

[@part1801]

Lifelong St. Louisan and this game just popped up... Wow what a blast from the past and an extra bonus with Maddux, one of my favorite pitchers. What a gem.

[@JoseLopez-tw4wy]

Maddux pitches in his prime. The ball comes to the catcher's stance with pinpoint accuracy

[@eaglewinnings8003]

Pete Van Weiren used to frequent my place of work almost daily en route to Turner Field when the Braves were in Atlanta. Still to this day he has the greatest voice for any announcer/commentator maybe the greatest voice ever. I'm almost certain he didn't use any tobacco products because we sold them and he never bought anything except lottery tickets. I was just a preteen who cried when the Braves lost in the postseason (I shed a lot of tears watching baseball if you know anything about baseball in the 90s) so being able to talk to him was special to me even though he wasn't even a player. We lost him way too soon. RIP to, IMO, the best Braves announcer on TV and radio (including John Sterling who is still the voice of Yankee radio). Skip Caray also passed away way too soon. The Braves TV/radio quartet of Van Weiren, Skip Caray, Dodgers Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton and Joe Simpson is the best announcing team in sports history.

[@jgjgrner4647]

Preach

[@charlesgreen8703]

I once hired Greg Maddux to paint my house... but all he did was paint the corners...true story!

[@marshallheadchief8744]

cheese

[@Arientis]

Maddux got a dog after he retired, poor thing still hasn’t been walked :(

[@TruthHasSpoken]

The movement on the ball was unbelievable. 10:15 that was a great pitch with an expanded strike zone. Same at 1:12:25 on Langford. Definitely a ball.

[@Bc232klm]

This quality is fantastic. Little to NONE of the vhs hiss in most other recordings. Thank you for this. This is my happy place. Subbed, and I would love any and all games you have from this era or earlier in this quality.

[@rolandbowerws6353]

This is great! Thank you for taking the time to transfer and upload this! I miss Pete, Don, Joe and Skip more and more as time goes on.

[@Claudius43CE]

Wow this is awesome. Eddie Perez was a fantastic catcher. I can see why Maddux used him exclusively.

[@keithparker2660]

Amazing ...... Maddux threw a dandy after the 2nd inning. Amazing ball movement. Only one other pitcher I've seen like Maddux and that was no one.

[@derick-smith]

3:58 Maddux being Maddux... That pitch always amazed me as a kid. I used to throw in the back yard and wonder why my ball didn't move like that. Every other pitcher on the planet wanted their ball to move like that and only one could do it.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

His signature pitch. That cut fastball that locked lefties up was just a perfect pitch. Never threw it more than 91 MPH. Just a maestro.

[@abathens]

Love the graphics package. Holds up well after 23 years.

[@timbliss9892]

Thank you so much!!! I grew up with the Braves of the 90s. I wish I could find more games from the 90s. Much appreciated!!

[@KneeDeep2231]

Maddux put on a clinic this game

[@shawnburgwald114]

Beautiful. So little time between pitches. None of that touching the cap or other bullshit. Just pure pitching.

[@DJMetzler337]

Maddux pitched to all those roided hitters and did it with finesse. I molded my pitching style after him as I was in high school at this time. Never liked to wait and delay to pitch.

[@Rawkers55]

Love Skips sarcasm, "Ryan's not afraid of making those pitchers work", Maddux running to receive a throw from Klesko from 1st base to make the out.

[@levieastman403]

My favorite player of all time and always will be, Greg Maddux

[@DJMetzler337]

Pete Van Wieren and Skip Caray are the two reasons I wanted cable in my room as a teenager. Never got it, and that’s one of my biggest regrets.

[@travisb2846]

RIP Gerald Williams. Lead off HR in this game!

[@robertdog]

5:34 Don Sutton didn't always have the best delivery in the booth yet managed to be one of the best TV color guys in baseball history. A true great on the mound and behind the mic.

[@Realistic316]

i’ve lived in Boston my whole life, but i grew up watching these Braves games on TBS alot more than i watched the Red Sox on NESN….

[@stevenstauder6270]

A masterpiece! una catedra del Maestro fe la loma! Inmortal!

[@tomglavinehof1]

Maddux was great because he would give you nothing to hit but you felt like you could

[@hmhm856]

1:07 damnnnn, Sammy was 4 homers ahead on Mcguire in early September and Mcguire passed him?? woww (65-63)

[@kenarthur6253]

Another Maddux Masterpiece. Legend!!!

[@daizoshikama6772]

Man I love my VCR 99-125 channel estate

[@kareemmoreland9119]

Attended the next game between these two teams the following night. Bravos won in a walk off bases loaded single in the 9th by Howard Battle. Hope someone uploads that ballgame someday.

[@garrettmitchell4627]

I was 14 and a freshman in high school in 1999. I taped a lot of Braves games on VHS back then and the Battle walk off was one of them. Unfortunately over the passage of time I have no idea where a lot of my old homemade VHS recordings are now.

[@namewitheld4428]

holy moly i remember this game geez this booth was incredible

[@jgjgrner4647]

The best

[@steverok67]

That strikeout of Ray Lankford at the 3:50 mark. Eddie Perez didn't even move his glove. I feel like I have seen this a thousand times. Seems like he did it to Luis Castillo of the Marlins fifty times.

[@Rawkers55]

Another Skip observation "time is called as the field has tilted right with Klesko and McGwire at standing at first base"

[@johnfoster2584]

MVP year for Chipper.

[@scottthompson3954]

Bobby Cox bunting with his #1 hitter, who homered his first time up off the same pitcher. In a tie game. In the 3rd inning. His strategy was definitely lacking at times.

[@lionman3378]

Was way too conservative as a manager

[@thomasd.maybank272]

Love these old 1999 games. Do you have any more?

[@robertdog]

21:05 Here's an early screw-up from a young CB Buckner. I would love to know what Otis Nixon and Andruw Jones discussed after the play.

[@Geotubest]

Maddox is masterful.

[@robertdog]

1:12:25 Now go back to 1:10:17. What a master of the game.

[@paulg6274]

the outside corner was 4 inches wider back then

[@ram3621]

Could hear maddux asking perez if he was all right in the first inning

[@Sエイちゃん]

三振 ①3:58〜 ②10:01〜 ③37:47〜 ④50:16〜 ⑤1:00:12〜 ⑥1:12:25〜 ⑦1:13:56〜

[@jtamazing7876]

The true Goat!!

[@robertdog]

59:00-1:00:38 Maddux catches McGwire looking to retire the Cards in the 6th.

[@ricegrindersproduction9782]

No sir, best team in history by far the 2003 team. Furcal, Giles, Sheffield, Chipper, Andruw, Javy, Castilla, was a monster team. Do you have the game in 99 where the Cardinals come in in May? Maddux started that game, my dad took my family and I was 8 years old and first game I ever remember. Thanks again for all these amazing games. TBS was the best with Pete, Skip, Don, and Joe.

[@cymaddux3131]

Nope. Pitching staff wasn’t nearly as good

[@robertdog]

1:10:17-1:10:37 Maddux strikes out to end the inning, chats with home plate umpire Mark Carlson.

[@tlew7032]

I can’t believe how big McGwire was.

[@jhanks2012]

yeah compared to how tiny he was just a year or two prior, he must have been living in a gym

[@funkyblue3166]

amazing what steroids can do for a person

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

@@jhanks2012 Go watch him from 1995 with my A's...he was already massive then.

[@tomglavinehof1]

He dwarfed klesko and klesko was a big boy in his own right

[@Pwnzistor]

Wasn't this Chipper Jones' MVP year?

[@tracymiller1149]

I'm actually surprised how many pitches Maddux threw I thought were strikes and he didn't get the call. Check out 1:34:54.

[@blahblahmeowchow6383]

Plate ump is like the anti-Eric Gregg, lol

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

Do you happen to have the 1996 braves baseball open ?

[@classicsports8513]

I don’t, sorry!

[@terrysmith128]

Umpire changes the strike zone in the late innings to give the cards a chance. It didn’t matter.

[@millypoo7713]

1:36:36... Maddux would always high-five or shake with his left hand because he didn't want to injure his pitching hand.

[@robmorris4168]

Jerry Reed was there! LOL

[@robertdog]

1:32:22 Did Maddux scold Edgar Renteria for that timeout? 🤣

[@brickchains1]

i love maddux but man they call so many outside balls as strikes against righties. glove side control. ump mind control

[@robertdog]

5:08 "Check out that mask tonight."

[@skyguy5587]

Didn’t even make Greg cover

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

oh those called 3rd strikes on balls - total BS

[@carlswenson2255]

1:13:03 not much a batter can do when you call a pitch 6" off the plate a strike

[@Jean0987654321]

PBP: Pete Van Wieren and Skip Caray
