  Atlanta Braves Returning To Form With Hot Second Half

  Aug 9, 20261h 26m

  The Atlanta Braves have finally started putting all the pieces together in a winning formula. Their strong play to start the second half has helped the club regain a commanding lead in the National League East standings and the second-best record in the National League. Grant McAuley discusses the blend of slugging and pitching that is leading to the Braves' recent run of success. After a disappointing trade deadline did not land a top of the rotation starter, the Atlanta rotation simply went out and recorded its best week of the season. Can this group continue to be productive? You'll hear from Braves manager Walt Weiss, who answered several pitching questions, updated the health of Robert Suarez, and sang the praise of Didier Fuentes. Brad Rowland of Hammer Territory joins the show to recap the trade deadline and go in-depth on the state of the Atlanta rotation, as well as the potential impact of AJ Smith-Shawver and Spencer Schwellenbach at some point. Plus, special guest Dale Murphy tells the story of his trade to the Philadelphia Phillies, which happened 36 years ago this week.

  Trade Deadline Edition: Atlanta Braves Come Up Short In Pursuit of Top Starters

  Aug 4, 202630 min

  The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone and the Atlanta Braves were unable to add any significant pieces to their starting rotation. While the club was able to add some useful pieces and may get reinforcements in the form of some injury returns, the deadline represents a mixed bag at best. Grant McAuley discusses the Braves ongoing need to reinforce the starting rotation with an eye toward adding a top starter who make an impact in October. Atlanta President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Alex Anthopoulos discusses the deadline, not landing a long-pursued top starter and how the team views its roster on the other side of the last significant opportunity to bring in help for the stretch drive.

  Atlanta Braves Approach The Trade Deadline With Definite Pitching Needs

  Aug 2, 20261h 28m

  The Trade Deadline approaches and the Atlanta Braves have several needs to fill before Monday's cutoff. Can Alex Anthopoulos find the pieces the roster needs to complete a championship contender? Grant McAuley delves into the trade deadline rumors in the wake of the Detroit Tigers dealing ace Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. With many more starters on the block, it leaves the Braves and other contenders with considerable options to weigh. These deals would also come at a good time for Atlanta, which has been playing a much better brand of baseball since the All-Star break and extended its lead in the NL East to 8 games. Also on deck for this episode: Ronald Acuña Jr.'s impact, the one-run victories, the stress on the bullpen, an injury to Reynaldo Lopez, an update on Spencer Schwellenbach, and the Braves roster crunch with Ha-Seong Kim back and Sean Murphy closing in on a return as Lane Thomas arrives in a trade with Kansas City. You'll also hear from Braves legend John Smoltz, who relives the trade that brought him to Atlanta 39 years ago this month.
