Episode Starkville | Chipper Jones on the Braves, Bobby Cox and Today’s Game
Hall of Famer Chipper Jones returns to Starkville!
This week, Jayson and Doug sit down with the Braves icon to talk Ronald Acuña Jr.’s memorable curtain call, his favorite Bobby Cox ejection stories, whether Chipper ever got tossed himself, and what he thinks he would hit in today’s game. Plus, Chipper weighs in on ABS, the evolving role of hitting coaches, the Braves’ World Series chances, and his memorable battles with Doug Glanville.
Later, the guys head to Arizona for Strange But True, where the Diamondbacks and Royals somehow turned a 0 0 game into an absolute baseball zombie thriller.
