John Smoltz talks Braves’ slow start, Juan Soto’s unfair expectations and Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame

John Smolt spent the most part of the 21st season, making the entire star team eight times eight times, beating CY Young, winning the world series first ballot. He retired from the end of the 2009 season, but he will stay in the game as a leading color commentator for Fox Baseball.

He is also a comfortable and excellent golf. This summer, Smolt is planning to qualify for the US Open and Win American Championship, a annual famous event of Tahoe Lake, this year took place on July 11-13. He ended 15 times his 15 times at this moment.

Anything but now victory will not be enough.

“Every year” is his goal to win. “I put a lot of pressure on me because I want to win so badly.”

This time she feels well around so that it has been completely recovered from two hyper replacement surgery. As far as 58 years, he knows that he will not be much closer to his prime minister.

“Time is over. I have to do that. ”

The former tennis star “Mardy Fish beats the boy,” said Smolt. “Tony Romo has been heavy beating when he continues.” Mark Mulder, Derek Lowe, Jeremy Roenick and Steph Curry are some of the other tough opponents he got on.

CBS Sports caught Smolt to Tourney to Baseball in advance.

Although Smolt also spent time with the Red Sox and cardinals, he played for 20 seasons for the courage of Atlanta and gathered all those individuals and team touches. The darkness started this season 0-7 and got up here in the framework of the playoff position before the day of remembrance.

I was interested in that as a team of veterans with a lot of playoffs and even experiences in the tournament tables returns from huge regular seasons.

“Yes and no,” he said. “Yes, when did you do it before and have you pursued the adults and postponed in post-trailing, reaching DNA there?

“This is what I always say about baseball. If your strengths work then you have a fact factor for the other team. Forces, when they fear the factor of their crime, and Acuña returns, and suddenly you play on your strengths, and the other team is afraid of it. “

“Baseball is too long since one season. You can’t hide your warts forever. They will be there.

“There are very little or less teams in baseball because health destroys, and Dodgers are the perfect proof of its right now. They really keep their salary well.

“How the hell you did it”

Also there are bigger and Juan Soto on NL East. The four-time-star class, the world’s world-class, was the leader in the world last season last season with “winning yanks” last season. He then signed a 15-year-old, worth $ 765 million. He was not bad, but he was not great and given the contract. Discourse is collected. I asked about smolt about it.

“This game and this League are copying a league,” he said. “It simply came to our notice then. This is one rate of league. But whatever you need to understand.

“So you have to watch this thing over time.”

“The other thing I think it takes a special player and special personality to be a really wonderful player, you have to be very good to satisfy everyone’s expectations. You don’t give it anymore.

“It’s not fair, it’s not right, the season is very long.”

“He can make adjustments such as they do with Francisco Lindor for the longest time and now look at the player. an expectation that goes through the roof. Some guys do it don’t do some guys. It’s the nature of the game. “

And, of course, big news so far it could be the restoration of Pete’s rose and a group of other decorated players who received permanent barriers from baseball. I asked Smoltz to Pete’s rose should be in the Hall of Fame.

“I think this is the way everyone thinks,” he said, now, when the death hall is cleaned. “I think that while he was alive, it was probably a zero opportunity to ever happen, but now the Veterans’ Committee will be able to vote.”

“I personally think about what he does in the field was neutral and absolutely deserved, not a brain.

“I think of the glory of the glory and everything meant to do not agree with things. I don’t think there are many guys because I don’t match the line of thinking again. “

“And I do not agree with the fact that we are dealing with people stopped today. It’s a shame for baseball.

“In order to answer Peter Rose, we all read the rule, we all know that it is no non-punishment, when he was alive, and when I know it was ever related to the field.
