The Morning Shift on 92.9 The Game
Adam Duvall reveals how he's been able to get going the past few games

Morning's on the game means more of the morning shift. Nice. On Sports Radio 929 the game. O2 from Galen. And Duvall crushes it. A no downer. Duvall got it all. A long hover. And now it's 5 to nothing Atlanta here in the 6. Oh my gosh. Adam Duvall helping to propel the Braves to a win over the Diamondback 6 to 2 that call courtesy of Valley Sports. You got all his booty into that swing, didn't he? Well, when you throw an 80 mile an hour curve ball, it just that just hangs. It's like batting practice for that guy. I mean, I guess basically it was a 3-1 blast. And how about Chris Dale, 5 and 1/3 solid innings. And so yeah, this Braves now have a what? Four game winning streak. You know what? I'm going to call out somebody in this room right now because when we started this show, you asked us if we were happy about that. And one person not going to name names, but they're sitting across from me. I'll bring it. Yeah, whatever. It's okay. No, no, we need to get excited. Let's let's have a little bit of fun because we've been so in our fillings about this team. And they go take two of three from the Phillies. The Diamondbacks have been like 10 games over 500 since June. And we have been like three games over five or maybe just one game over 500 since June until this stretch. Let's be happy. Duvall seemed like he's hit. We had some we had some timely hitting. Last night was the first time all season that I really recall early in a game, the lineup was working counts. They were taking pitches. They weren't swinging at nonsense. Aussie had in the bat last night that I was like, this is the bat that we need from this team. They had they had Zach Galan over 50 pitches and two innings. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball at home. Yeah, Sal is over 60. They were both over 60 after three. So they were both just they had to grind for both of them. Well, back to Adam Duvall. This is what he's doing well at the plate according to him. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like, you know, I'm doing a good job not only of covering, you know, the outside corner again, but I think the biggest thing is laying off the pitches, the trap pitches, you know, two, three inches off the plate and, you know, away. And, you know, that's getting me into some better hitters counts and, you know, then I'm able to get them back into the zone. So that's, I mean, you know, it's a chess match with those guys. And I mean, the good ones are good at it. So they're going to, if you, if you bite on that one that's just off the plate, they're going to keep throwing it. So at some point, you got to, you know, take that. So I feel like I've been doing that. And then, like I said, getting back into better counts. Was that Laramie Tunsel and his gas mask in the background first part? Duvall in his last three games is six of 12 with two home runs for RBIs. But the big number, I take it away from all that to strike out strikeouts is about to say. Yep. And that is key for him. Look, I'm okay with being critical within reason. When you're critical and you call out what people are not doing, as long as you're not the burning down, all is lost, burning down, it's May, it's June. Now it's July though. And the team seems to be kind of getting a little bit. This is a very important road trip, Rob. We talked about this that we wanted them to kind of get. Well, especially consider what happened the last time that went out West Seattle and L.A. And these are two teams that you've got to compete with with a wildcard. Let's go in the huddle.
