“We Should’ve Won in ’96” John Smoltz on the Braves Dynasty, Maddux & Glavine + Modern MLB

Atlanta Braves legend and Hall of Famer John Smoltz breaks down the Braves dynasty with Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, the 1995 World Series, heartbreaking 1996 loss, Tommy John surgery, MLB analytics, modern pitching and why he believes baseball’s current system is broken. Smoltz tells the incredible story of being traded by his hometown Detroit Tigers, rebuilding his confidence in Atlanta, dominating under postseason pressure, reinventing himself as an elite closer and turning down roughly $25 million to continue playing for Bobby Cox and the Braves. He also reflects on 14 straight division titles, why the Braves didn't win more championships, today's generation of MLB players, his Atlanta Braves Mount Rushmore and the competitive mentality that ultimately carried him to the Baseball Hall of Fame. 🏌️ Follow Brice Butler Instagram: @brice_butler @brice_butler_studios If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE to the channel, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode.
