On Wednesday Bally Sports Atlanta Braves broadcaster Chip Caray joined Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael from the Braves’ team bus on the way to the third and final game of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The conversation started off by recapping the Braves 6-3 win over the Phillies last night led by a strong start from Spencer Strider.

“Well let me start with body size – Billy Wagner, I mean he (Spencer Strider) is built just like Billy,” Caray responded when asked who Strider reminded him of.

“But as far as strikeout stuff and power, fastballs and sliders I mean it’s Kerry Wood. He reminds me an awful lot of Kerry,” Caray added.

After the win last night Strider is 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA, with 120 strikeouts and a 1.02 WHIP.

You can listen to Andy & Randy Monday-Friday from 10a-2p.
