Audio from Nashville — Ryan Christenson and more

The Sounds continue their final homestand of the year today on Eclipse Day as they take on the Iowa Cubs in Game 3 of a four-game series. The Sounds have dropped the first two games of the series and have scored just one run total. Today Ben Bracewell (3-3, 6.25) opposes former Sound Seth Frankoff (2-7, 3.99).

First pitch tonight is set for 4:05 CT with the pregame at 3:50 on ALT 97.5-FM and the iHeart, MiLB First Pitch and TuneIn Radio apps. Here’s the online audio stream: http://milb.streamguys1.com/nashvillesounds.

Today’s interview is this week’s chat with Sounds manager Ryan Christenson, who discusses the team’s viewing of the eclipse from the dugout, the frustration from the offense’s lack of production the last two games, and updates on Mark Canha and Jaycob Brugman.

Below the Christenson interview is yesterday’s conversation with Sounds GM Adam Nuse, who talked about the Eclipse Day, the remainder of the 2017 home schedule, and the excitement for what’s to come at First Tennessee Park going forward.
