Braves Manager Reacts To Ozzie News
After the game, manager Walt Weiss was asked about the news (via BravesVision).
Reporter: “To see Ozzie break the franchise record for sacrifice flies. How important is that?”
Weiss: “It’s cool, man. That’s a unique record… I had no idea who had the record. The sacrifice-fly record is not one that you hear about all the time. So it’s a cool stat, cool record, because that’s a very productive out right there, and that’s what we preach. Yeah, I would have never guessed that Ozzie would set the record for sac flies, just because he’s not a guy that hits long fly balls and that type of thing. But I think in those situations, that’s part of his approach, is to get something that he can lift and get that run in. And that’s what you want.”
