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.
Braves insider Grant McAuley joins Andy and Randy to discuss the Braves' return of Jurickson Profar, and why Didier Fuentes is still part of the plan.
MDJ Script/ Top Stories for July 2nd Publish Date: July 2nd Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.

Lee Scholar at Mississippi State University ‘The Bluebird Guy’ Leads 13-Year Conservation Effort in West Cobb All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 9 STORY 1: Cobb K9 finds murder victim remains, suspect sentenced to life A Cobb County investigator, Dr. Tracy Sargent, and her K-9 partner, Taz, played a key role in solving the murder of Carrie Hardin, a Fayetteville woman. Taz, a cadaver dog rescued and trained by Sargent, discovered Carrie’s burned body in a shallow grave near her home. Carrie’s husband, Kenneth Hardin Jr., confessed to the murder after a domestic dispute and was arrested in Louisiana following a multi-state manhunt. He pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including felony murder, and was sentenced to life without parole. Sargent and Taz have a history of assisting law enforcement nationwide in missing persons and homicide cases. STORY 2: Acworth student named a Stephen D. Lee Scholar at Mississippi State University Katherine Ullmer of Acworth was honored as a Stephen D. Lee Scholar during Mississippi State University's spring 2025 commencement. Among over 3,500 graduates, she was one of 140 students to achieve this distinction, awarded to those with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Ullmer earned her Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and Marketing from MSU's College of Business. STORY 3: ‘The Bluebird Guy’ Leads 13-Year Conservation Effort in West Cobb Jim Bearden, a 79-year-old retired event planner from Alabama, is affectionately known as “the Bluebird Guy” for his 13-year conservation efforts to repopulate bluebirds in the southeast. Starting with one nesting box at Green Meadows Preserve in Cobb County, Bearden has expanded the Bluebird Trail to over 30 boxes, helping over 3,000 bluebirds thrive. His work combats the species' decline caused by DDT in the 1960s and ’70s. Bearden funds much of the effort himself, including $200 monthly for mealworms, but annual fundraisers like the Marietta Wine Market event help offset costs. The trail’s success has inspired community involvement, with Bearden sharing tips like planting native plants and avoiding pesticides. His work is also shared with Cornell’s NestWatch program, ensuring a lasting impact. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.

Organizers highlighted the importance of creating a welcoming space in Georgia, celebrating the beauty of diverse identities and connections. STORY 5: Cobb D.A. launches chaplain program to support staff facing trauma Cobb District Attorney Sonya Allen introduced a chaplain program to support her team of prosecutors, investigators, and staff who face trauma from handling violent crimes. At a luncheon, Senior DA Jared Horowitz and others shared the emotional toll of cases involving murder, rape, and child abuse.

Major recipients included the Marietta History Center ($160,000), Strand Theatre ($100,000), and Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art ($95,000). The Georgia Symphony Orchestra received $24,000, far below their $95,000 request, sparking concern from Councilwoman Cheryl Richardson, who highlighted the orchestra’s 75-year contribution to the community. Despite her opposition, the council approved the recommendations. The grants support programming, marketing, and staffing for organizations, ensuring continued investment in Marietta’s cultural scene. STORY 7: Truist Park, Battery revenues continue to outpace county debt service Cobb County’s partnership with the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta continues to generate significant revenue, surpassing its debt obligations. In 2024, the county netted $3 million in general fund gains, with property tax revenues from The Battery increasing to $2.6 million.

The Atlanta Braves passed the mathematical halfway point over the weekend, but it was in the midst of yet another winnable series slipping through their collective fingers. Grant McAuley discusses the biggest stories and headlines from the week that was for the Braves, a week that saw them lose the momentum they'd worked so hard to build with head-to-head success against the formerly first place New York Mets by losing series to the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies. The offensive woes continue to plague the club, while both the starting rotation and bullpen are under more stress than ever to keep the Braves in games. Now seven games under .500 and staring at major deficits in both the division and Wild Card races, the Braves will attempt to make the most of their final two weeks before the All-Star break as they face the Los Angeles Angles, Baltimore Orioles, Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals over the next 12 games. That stretch could ultimately determine what Atlanta's strategy will be for the trade deadline, because failing to win consistently may mean there's no point in bringing in reinforcements this season. Brad Rowland of Hammer Territory joins the show to discuss the Braves at the halfway marker, the loss of Chris Sale, the lost seasons thus far for Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies, and what needs to happen in July to allow Atlanta to pull the nose up on its season. Hear that discussion beginning at 29:20. In the trip around the big leagues, we cover the loss of Dave Parker, the field for the Home Run Derby, Ketel Marte's unfortunate trip to Chicago, and hear the voice of the Pitchcom device courtesy of SNY.

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. Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael discuss the Braves current woes, and what they may do, if anything, to cure them

Hour 1 The Mets secured a win last night, splitting their series with the Braves. In other sports news, Griffin Canning is the latest athlete to suffer an Achilles injury, prompting concern and speculation from many, including Boomer and Gio, who voiced their own fears about Achilles injuries in daily life. Pete Alonso, on "Evan & Tiki," approved of Tiki joining the show but disliked the idea of him leading off, and a picture of Evan wearing a Mets bucket hat at the game made its rounds on social media. The segment concluded with news that Tony Gonzalez will attend his ex, Lauren Sanchez's, wedding to Jeff Bezos, which Gio found "weird." Hour 2 Boomer started the hour by spraying for a "foot smell" and then recounted a bizarre dream about struggling to find a bathroom, possibly influenced by their "Poop Cruise" discussion. With Scott Van Pelt off for the summer, the team reminisced about Boomer's past idea of moving the show to afternoons, which Al, Eddie, and Jerry resisted, and Boomer expressed a desire to do summer shows from the Hamptons. Before C-Lo's update, they discussed Long Island football player Preston Carey's numerous D1 offers, then celebrated the Mets' shutout win over the Braves, which put them back in first place. They also touched on Steve Gelbs' buffalo story that prompted Keith Hernandez to recall their demise, finally ending the hour discussing the Rangers' draft and free agency. Hour 3 The hour began by discussing the top 2025 NFL head coach hot seat rankings, with Brian Daboll listed at number one, and a conversation about softball injuries, particularly Al's confusion about groin injuries. C-Lo's update highlighted the Mets' strong bullpen performance after Griffin Canning's Achilles injury and Pete Alonso's struggles throwing to first base. A bizarre caller claimed to have mistakenly eaten a donkey penis in the Caribbean. The hour concluded with Gio questioning the lack of public interest in the Diddy trial and admitting he wasn't sure what "racketeering" meant. Hour 4 Dan in Carteret seemingly criticized Boomer and communicated with Dave Sims on X, as Keith McPherson ranted about the Yankees' "soft" culture. C-Lo's final update began with sounds of Griffin Canning's Achilles injury, followed by clips of Pete Alonso discussing the Mets' history against the Braves and if he'd be a Met for life, and actual PitchCom audio. Spike Eskin was duped by a fake story, which C-Lo aired. The "Moment of The Day" featured Boomer witnessing horse insemination as a child and gynecologist Dr. Dan accidentally eating a donkey penis. The week's final segment included Jim Norton telling Joe Rogan about driving around NYC seeking hookers while listening to Joe Benigno.

The Philadelphia Phillies were swept by the Houston Astros in a three game series, scoring just ONE run over 27 innings. The starting pitching was EXCELLENT, giving up just 3 earned runs, and Phillies pitching gave up just 5 all series, but the offense was non-existent. Up next, three games with the Atlanta Braves. Plus, could Dave Dombrowski target a power bat from the Los Angeles Angels at the Trade Deadline?
Braves split the 4-game series with the Mets in NYC after the bats go quiet and the Braves get shut out 4-0.

Braves fans have to hope that Alex Anthopoulos has some tricks up his sleeves (yes, both) to add on before the trade deadline, or the second half may be longer than the first. But, at least Ronald Acuña Jr will be in the Homerun Derby and likely the All-Star game when it comes to Atlanta in July! Andy Bunker and Abe Gordon get in to the Braves, and what they may need to add to improve the team at the deadline.
Carl and Mike revisit their conversation with Grant McAuley and express their concerns for the Braves to find a way to get right against the Phillies this weekend.
Carl and Mike come back with some brief Hawks talk and share thoughts on how Trae Young's leadership was on full display by being in attendance for Asa Newell's introductory press conference. Then they get back the Braves and discuss what the team would look like had he not returned yet as he has been the best player since returning from second ACL injury.
We started the show with the NBA draft which was last night and how the Knicks still don't have a head coach. They better have one soon as we head into free agency. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the NBA draft. ESPN announced that Portland drafted ‘Colin Cowherd' and also misidentified Cooper Flagg twice. Boomer asked if there was Buzz, or No Buzz, with the Nets. The Mets finally beat the Braves as Juan Soto hit 2 HRs. Jerry just called Jazz Chisholm ‘Jizzm'. In the final segment of the hour, Sydney Esiason says farewell to ‘WAG Life' now that Matt Martin has retired.

Hour 2 Reports indicate NFL owners colluded in 2022 to limit player guarantees, using emails about Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert, a fact the NFLPA allegedly withheld from players. In sports, the Yankees beat the Reds (Dominguez 4-for-5), and the Mets topped the Braves with Jeff McNeil's great catch and Juan Soto's two homers. Cooper Flagg was the NBA's top draft pick.
