Riley Talks Competition, Strider Mic'd Up, and a Visit from a Navy SEAL | BEHIND THE BRAVES

In this week's episode of Behind the Braves presented by Global Payments, the guys share what it's like working for a spot each spring. Go one-on-one with Ozzie Albies as he talks about working his way back to full health.

I would love for there to be a version of this all season long!

[@jimbolahey]

They can't do that. They can't even show us all the games that we pay to see because they are all blacked out. So they definitely would never give us a free behind the scenes show for the season.

I Agree!

[@jordanroberts1519]

Conversation between Strider and Albies was awesome!!! Love hearing pitchers and hitters bounce ideas off eachother

[@jdt2003]

So he's got a change now? Wow nasty

[@mustangmike418]

Awwww shit, Strider working on that 3rd pitch, put the league on notice, dude is going to be amazing again!

[@beagle_uah]

I smell an increase in strikeouts coming!

[@rileypope4208]

Man LOVE seeing Chipper there. Must be crazy to have him coaching you...

[@SmoothKatDaddy12]

Still dipping though. Sad. Hope he stays healthy.

[@chrisdaugherty8265]

@@SmoothKatDaddy12 that’s the first thing I thought. I always think of Tony Gywnn when I see those guys doing that.

[@kennethhaynes1055]

Riley is gonna be a beast this year no doubt.

[@richardminter9462]

I absolutely love this unique group of athletes and personalities - stoked to have Ozzie back - Let's go!!!

[@sweeaught]

The bit with Strider and Ozzie discussing the changeup is gold 👌 Would love to see more teammate interactions like that, something different from the usual joking around. I mean, I love the joking around, too.

[@ee8701]

Ozzie's got the right attitude! Love him as a player.

[@colebaker___]

It’s awesome to hear Austin Riley, a potential MVP caliber player, say that you always have to earn your spot because there’s always someone behind you that wants it. The boys are still hungry

[@TeeOhh32]

Its wild to look at how good Ozzie's English has gotten since he was drafted

[@n_a8917]

He's very good, so much further ahead than Acuna

[@osvaldoruiz3826]

Very high IQ

[@GunUDwnAt2nd]

Pretty sure he's been speaking English his whole life...

[@MrJSto1]

Watching as i sit at CoolToday Park. This Dominican team should be fun to watch. Go Braves!

[@aaronrosser14]

Great stuff as with last week and the '20 and '22 seasons of BTB. Always love this, from the interview segments to the workouts with the coaches and the fun stuff like what's previewed next week with the golf outing. Hoping for great things for Ozzie this year - #1 to be healthy all year but #2 to have another All-Star campaign. Ready for Austin to take another step towards being one of the preeminent third basemen in the game. Spencer mic'd up was a hoot. Great to see Tyler even if he's not an on-field part of the team this year be a part of the deal and of trying to help inspire everyone the same way he was. Great stuff all around. Love our Braves.

[@braves]

Thanks for watching!

[@owenhall08]

Can't wait to see how this season goes for my favorite team and the best team in the National league.

[@mfrmxcv]

Snit, a proud grandpa and a wise manager. Chippity Chip Chip, once a Brave… Always a Brave. Ozzie, incredibly passionate, talented, and humble! Riley, 10 years of him will never be enough! He IS the Braves! Max, too OP for this world. Chávez, an old man perhaps but still a national treasure. 🪓♥️

This team is just special. Really. Just trying to enjoy every bit of it.

The strider throw to the darnaud catch was a solid transition

Money Mike depositing a lot of balls into the right field stands during BP. Love to see it.

Riley??? The face is the team’s best player, right? Are we really that caught up in who’s the face of the team? It’s a team and we have some mashers on it.

Why did I just figure out that Ozzie is in incredible shape relative to baseball players

[@233DDR]

Good to see chipper in uniform.

[@Untoastedbagel1271]

Another pitch for strider, he’s gonna be crazy. If he wins Cy young I may have to copy that mustache. Maybe it gives him power. 😂

[@banjosheperd9228]

its good juju for the braves having a murphy as a catcher remember dale murphy was a catcher before an outfielder go braves.

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Having a guy like Chip there has to be valuable for these guys, especially the young ones. Not many people alive know hitting better than he does

Who is going to get the last starting spot in the rotation? Any idea's, inquiring mind's want too know?? This series always leaves me wanting more!

[@brooksfoy4990]

if i had to guess it’s probably between Ian Anderson and Bryce Elder right now with Soroka being a little behind with his soreness issues so 1 Fried 2 Strider 3 Wright 4 Morton 5 Anderson/Elder

[@stephenstrang590]

Soroka at the end of the season

[@stephenstrang590]

Anderson at the beginning of the season

[@osvaldoruiz3826]

That left hander who pitched against Boston yesterday looks promising

He deserves it lol. Let the man be retired come down for a few weeks of spring training come into the facility once a week to help and hunt and fish the rest of the time. He’s earned it

[@theflyingsolo]

I don't agree with Snit anymore on the division. This is a new format. You don't need to win it to have a chance to win the whole thing.

[@chandleramason1976]

Weak take. Win the division and you don’t have to worry about success of other teams. Still the formula

[@g0lf535]

Just have to get hot at the right time.

[@dylanvauiso6910]

Why would winning the division not be your goal though? That is controlling the controllable and not leaving it up to fate

[@Refill_2]

The problem is if you don’t win it you have to use your starters in a wildcard series so no rest, you still have to actually win the wildcard series, and after that you have no home field advantage because your a lower seed. Unless your the 3 seed, then winning the division isn’t as important
