Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery

In early June the Braves traded for pitcher Anthony Swarzak with an ERA of 5.27 and to many fans this didn't seem like it ws going to be a great fit.

Since then Swarzak hasn't given up a run in ten appearances and has compiled eight saves. Was it a tweek by the Braves' coaching staff? Warmer temperatures? Is the Braves' clubhouse that much more of a confidence-inspiring atmosphere than the Mariners? We may never know, but sometimes all a human being needs is a change of scenery to turn their life around. 

Chris Goforth and Harper LeBel expand on Swarzak's performance and discuss a certain young Braves pitcher that should be in the Cy Young conversation.
