In hour 1 Andy and Randy get in to the Braves and their most recent horrible homestand, plus, former Braves All-Star pitcher Tim Hudson stops by.
In hour 2 Andy and Randy bring you an NFL No Huddle, as we are 2 weeks from training camp, and at least baseball fans in Atlanta can be happy... for a weekend.
In hour 3 Andy and Randy get back in to the All-Star game in Atlanta, as a poorly playing baseball team should not take from the fun that this week will bring.
Former All-Star Braves pitcher Tim Hudson joins Andy and Randy to talk about the All-Star Game coming back to Atlanta, and the current state that the team is in.
The Atlanta Braves just came home to a very winnable home stand where the team really needed to win both series, versus the sub-.500 likes of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Baltimore Orioles, and Philadelphia Phillies. They would not win all three series. They would not even win one series. They would win two games in the entire nine-game home stand, that would culminate with them getting swept by the Orioles to finish it out. The worst thing about the Orioles sweep, is that the two remaining starters that can be trusted got beat. The Braves are now 11 games under .500, with a record of 39-50, and with an incomplete rotation plus a still scuffling lineup, it may just get worse before it gets better. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael get in to the Braves, and some positives as we head towards the All-Star Break.

Falcons insider Joe Patrick joins Andy and Randy to talk about the current state of the Atlanta Falcons
No team can afford what the Braves would be asking for one of the best players in the league, and Ronald Acuña Jr. actually wants to play in Atlanta, so him requesting a trade will not happen. There are questions of a well-deserved contract extension, which will likely happen, and that will only help cement Acuña Jr. in Atlanta for a longer amount of time. Stop it with absurdities like this, and present the people with thought-provoking, but REALISTIC conversation. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael explore the Braves tumultuous season a bit further, and touch on what may be the worst ho-take of 2025.

Every team has analytics and technology at their fingertips, but human beings are all individually unique, and what works for some, may not work for others. Maybe some hitters would respond more to more work in the cage, and less in the classroom. This may not be the solution for all of the Braves offensive woes, but it may be a good idea for a few. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael talk about Snitker's comments in more detail, and how there has to be something in preparation that that can change the outcome of some of these Braves' hitters at-bats.

In hour 3 Andy and Randy get back in to the Braves, and talk some NBA Free Agency
While there may be a few over-reactions going around, one of the most popular ones is that Braves General Manager Alex Anthopoulos should not have signed a lot of players in this lineup, like Austin Riley and Michael Harris II to long contract extensions on the hope that their career trajectories would excel. This is probably not the case, as teams and players will have bad seasons, but as the offense continues to struggle, the hot takes will continue to fly around.
