The Atlanta Braves' challenging season took another turn for the worst as their offense continues to struggle to find consistency and the one-run losses are piling up at an alarming pace. Grant McAuley discusses a strange and unfortunate week for the Braves that saw them suffer one of their worst losses in franchise history amidst a string of close games that aren't going their way. We'll cover an unexpected coaching change as former manager Fredi Gonzalez takes over as third base coach, a bitterly short reunion with former All-Star Craig Kimbrel, and a host of other issues Atlanta is currently facing. You'll hear from Braves third baseman Austin Riley on how the club is navigating its challenges overall and at the plate as well as a visit with outfielder Eli White. And we'll examine the damage this most recent slide has done to the Braves' playoff odds and hear some insights from GM Alex Anthopoulos on the state of the team and the injury DH Marcell Ozuna is playing through. Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com joins the show to discuss the much-anticipated ABS challenge system that MLB will introduce in 2026, Lou Gehrig Day and MLB's new softball venture as our trip around the big leagues.

Carl and Mike get back to some Braves talk with more of their thoughts on the team reassigning third base coach Matt Tuiasosopo to Triple A Gwinnett and replacing him with former manager Fredi Gonzalez, which both agree the timing of the move is interesting however they believe the move does not help address their issues at the plate and may not be enough to motivate the clubhouse.

There's too much dilution of talent. The pitching's not better. It's the same.” “Everybody's throwing 109,,” said Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, exaggerating only slightly. Dr. David Altchek, the Mets' top physician, said a lower mound “should decrease the force as the body gets less far ahead of the arm.” Skenes letter to Pirates last season - Read and Discuss Article on Skenes Discuss 25 minute video of an analyis of Skene's thrwowing Leading Bio - Mechanical instructional facility - “What are they looking at?” Discuss Detmers 2nd half of the coin - or the B side of thw LP Letter to the Angles - Read and Discus Look at Analytics Reader: still can't figure out what Aaron Boone was or wasn't thinking a week ago Friday at the Stadium against the Tigers. At 1-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees had Alex Verdugo on third, Giancarlo Stanton on second when Boone replaced Stanton with pinch runner Taylor Trammel. Trammel is faster, than Stanton. So it seemed to make sense. Except for the fact that Stanton wouldn't have even had to move. If Verdugo scores from third, the game is over. If the game enters, say, the 11th, Trammel would be batting for Stanton.“Must be some genius analytics beyond my mental capacity.”

Gwinnett County police were called out to a Sugar Hill home on Tuesday morning and were in a SWAT standoff. Police said they responded to a home near Sycamore Summit NE, which is in the vicinity of Sycamore Elementary School. According to Daily Post news partner Fox 5 Atlanta, police said the situation began when Brookhaven officers attempted to serve a warrant at the home. Neighbors said they heard shots and a male suspect barricaded himself inside the home, Fox 5 reported. Police said the others who lived in the home were outside and no one appears to have been injured. Head over to Gwinnett Daily Post dot com for more information. Gwinnett County police are asking for people who were in the area where a Norcross teenager went missing last summer to come forward in case they have any information about what happened to her. Master Police Officer Hideshi Valle said 16-year-old Susana Morales disappeared on July 26, 2022 while she was walking along Singleton Road, in unincorporated Norcross, to her home, which is located on Santa Anna Drive. Morales sent a text to her mother at 9:40 p.m. on the day of her disappearance and said she was one her way home, but she never arrived. Police are looking for anyone who was in the area of Singleton Road, Steve Reynolds Boulevard and Oak Loch Trace on the night of Morales' disappearance to step forward. Morales left her family's home at about 6 p.m. on the day of her disappearance and walked to a friend's house, which is located nearby. Valle said a phone location app showed Morales appeared to be walking along Singleton Road, in the direction of her home, from Windscape Village Lane between 10:07 p.m. and 10:21 p.m. The phone then showed she was somewhere on Oak Loch Trace between 10:21 p.m. and 10:26 p.m., and she continued to be in that area until her phone was either turned off or died. Morales is described as a Hispanic female who has curly brown hair, brown eyes, two nose rings and a pierced lip. Valle said she is about 5-feet, 2-inches tall and weighs about 117 pounds. Police have released two photos of her. Anyone who has information about Morales' whereabouts is asked to call detectives or Crime Stoppers, which is offering a $2,000 reward for information that leads to Morales' safe return. The Gwinnett County Republican Party announced it will host a niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during its Black History Month program this weekend. The Gwinnett GOP's program will be held during its monthly breakfast at 8:45 a.m., on Feb. 4 at the party's headquarters, which is located at 80 Boulder Brook Circle in Lawrenceville. Alveda C. King will be the keynote speaker at the event, which will also feature speeches by FallBack Production Studios co-founder Lucretia Hughes and retired U.S. Marine Corps veteran Charles Lollar. Iraq war veteran Takosha Swan will provide a musical performance. Anyone who would like to attend the event can register at Gwinnett Republicans dot com. Although former Gwinnett resident Lou Llerandi retired from coaching baseball more than a decade ago, he's still in the game.  In 2018, Llerandi, who coached and taught at Duluth and Norcross High Schools, established Llerandi Gloves, providing baseball and softball players with an alternative to high-priced brand-named equipment.   Although the baseball glove market isn't an easy one to break into, Llerandi said he's sold about 1,000 gloves and touts that while players can selected stock-model gloves, he can also custom-make a mitt from a variety of web and color options. He's also sold a lot of infield training gloves (which are particularly small), softball gloves and even a couple of left-handed catcher's mitts.  A Tampa native, Llerandi said he sells Japanese Kip Leather gloves for $290, steer hide gloves for $250 and cowhide for $180, prices he said include shipping and embroidery. The gloves are made in China, at the same manufacturing plant utilized by Marucci Sports and Under Armour.  A big moment for Llerandi and his brand came this past spring when the Odessa (Texas) College Wranglers, who bought gloves for the team, finished third in the NJCAA Division I national tournament.  The company also has endorsements from two professionals. Carlos Tosca, who some may recall as Fredi Gonzalez's bench coach for the Atlanta Braves from 2011 to 2016 and at the turn of the century managed the Kansas City Royals for a couple of years, is a friend of Llerandi's and offered his support. Shelby Pendley, a veteran softball professional who was a three-time All-American at Oklahoma, has also given her endorsement.  Noting that most major college baseball and softball programs have equipment agreements in place but Division II, Division III and NAIA schools do not, Llerandi looks forward to the potential of the coming year.  The Philadelphia Winn Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution recently honored Berkmar High School teacher Lloyd Williams with its Outstanding Teacher in American History Award. Club officials said the award is determined “by the candidate's knowledge of American history and the readiness that it is shared with students, the spirit of patriotism and loyal support for our country and constitutional government, the ability to relate history to modern life” and that the teacher require excellence at all times from students and enjoy a good rapport with them. The award includes a certificate, a monetary award and a challenge coin that states the DAR objectives of historic preservation, patriotism and education. Williams has taught at Berkmar High School for 16 years. He represented his school in the “American History” grant, which led to his leading workshops and presentations to other teachers of history. According to the Philadelphia Winn Chapter, Williams personally developed much of the material for several electives in the social studies field, including contemporary and controversial issues as well as ethnic studies, all in an effort to provide a meaningful experience for his students that will carry them into adulthood as lifelong learners. Williams' colleagues stress what an interactive and innovative approach he uses to engage his students, as well as his generosity to fellow teachers, sharing the content he has created for student treasure hunts and the means to understand events such as the American Revolution, the War of 1812, Westward Expansion as well as many more current and important events that make up our American history. Williams will now be considered as a candidate for the DAR State OTAH award, which will be announced in February.

Kennesaw police named two men Friday in the alleged beating of a Kennesaw State University student near the school's main campus last week. According to a release, Gauge Dakota Stanley of Chatsworth and Kole Zuba Reasoner of Flowery Branch were charged with battery, a misdemeanor, and aggravated battery, a felony. Police spokesperson David Buchanan said Jalique Rosemund, who is Black, was attacked at the West 22 apartment complex on Cherokee Street in Kennesaw, about 1 mile west of the university's campus, around midnight January 22. Rosemund said his attackers were two white men who repeatedly called him the N-word, according to a report by the responding officer. Rosemund was treated at a nearby hospital, according to the report. Kennesaw police thanked KSU police and the public in the release, stating without tips from the public “these arrests would not have been possible.” However, neither suspect had been booked into Cobb County jail as of Sunday evening. A man is being held without bond in the Cobb County jail after authorities say he tried to rape a 12-year-old girl in Shaw Park. According to a warrant filed by Cobb police, the victim said a man approached her while she was walking through the woods in the north Marietta park around 5 p.m. She said he offered her a water bottle that appeared to be sealed. The warrant says that “after drinking from the bottle she began to feel dizzy and tingle.” Then the man pulled out a knife, threatened her, and sexually assaulted her, according to the warrant. Cobb police arrested Douglas Darch on January 22 and connected him to the alleged attack. Darch, who is in his late 50s and homeless according to jail records, is charged with five felonies: aggravated assault with attempt to rape, child molestation, aggravated child molestation, child cruelty, and making terroristic threats. Dwight “Ike” Reighard, CEO of MUST Ministries, has been named the Cobb County Citizen of the Year.  Reighard received the award, presented by the Marietta Daily Journal, at the Cobb Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner celebration Saturday evening at the Cobb Galleria Centre. Following in the footsteps of past honorees, Reighard was recognized for his leadership of a ministry which provides services to some 60,000 people a year struggling in poverty. He became head of MUST Ministries in 2011. During his tenure, the Marietta-based charity launched its mobile pantry, which served 17,000 families in its first year, and the MUST Hope House shelter in Marietta. The 43,000 facility opened last year and features 136 beds and 36 respite beds used during inclement weather, a chapel, a rooftop retreat for families and a large dining hall. Reighard has often recounted how hungry hobos from the nearby Inman railway yard in Atlanta would stray into his childhood backyard seeking a handout. His mother never gave money, but would offer food and ice tea in mason jars to those who drifted onto their property. Word of the Reighards' generosity spread through the hobo village alongside the railroad tracks. Visits became more frequent. Neighbors grew upset, telling Reighard's mother she was going to be hurt or get someone else hurt. Her reply was that these men were somebody's son, father or brother and that if her son, father or brother were in trouble, she would hope someone would help them. As a child of the Great Depression, he said his mother never forgot how quickly one's fortunes can change. Brian Snitker is set to remain the Atlanta Braves' manager through his 70th birthday after agreeing to contract extension through the 2025 season Friday. The 67-year-old Snitker guided the team to 101 wins and its fifth consecutive NL East title last season, one year after helping the Braves win the fourth World Series title in franchise history. Snitker finished third in the Manager of the Year voting in 2022, after winning the award in 2018. He also was a finalist for the honor in 2019 and finished fourth in 2020 and 2021. Snitker completed his 46th season in the Braves' organization in 2022, and his sixth full campaign as the Braves manager. He took over on an interim basis following the firing of Fredi Gonzalez on May 17, 2016, then was named the permanent manager October 11 of the same year. The native of Decatur, Illinois, first joined the Braves as a non-drafted free agent in 1977. He spent four years as a player before beginning his managerial career at 26 years old with the Class A Anderson Braves in 1982. Snitker went on to manage for 20 seasons in the Braves' system, compiling a 1,301-1,309 record with 10 different affiliates. He also had three tours of duty on the major league staff as a coach in 1985 and again from 1988-90 and 2007-13.  Dozens of trains ran simultaneously at full speed in downtown Kennesaw on Saturday. No crashes resulted because of careful planning — with each train running on a closed loop. The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in downtown Kennesaw held its annual “Trains, Trains, Trains!” event over the weekend. The event began in 2010 when the museum's executive director, Richard Banz, had the idea for the event after taking his niece to a train show. The event featured 10 model train layouts built by local hobbyists. Three of the layouts were interactive, allowing visitors to control the trains. The model trains on display ranged from the extremely small “z gauge” trains to huge, one-sixth-scale models. The Smithsonian-affiliated museum also houses three real locomotives as part of its permanent collection, including the famed General. The price of admission included access to the whole museum in addition to the model trains, which were interspersed throughout the exhibits. Banz said family educational experiences are important for children, and the event is ultimately about sharing the joy of trains. Banz, who has been a model train hobbyist since he got his first train set as a child, said Kennesaw's model train event is the only one he knows of designed with families and children in mind. Greg Teague waited an extra year for his turn, but it has finally come. Teague, CEO of Croy Engineering, is the Cobb Chamber of Commerce's 2023 chairman, a role he was set to fill in 2022 before the pandemic threw things a bit off course. The chamber's 2022 chairwoman, Britt Fleck, passed the baton to Teague at the chamber's 81st annual dinner Saturday night. A graduate of Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering, now a part of Kennesaw State University, Teague has experience in both the public and private sectors. He was the city engineer and public works director for the city of Marietta before moving onto Marietta-based construction firm Traton Homes. After a stint there, he moved to Croy in 2007. With his business partners Eddie Wade and Adam Langley, Teague purchased the company, which employs 120 people and has offices in Marietta, Chattanooga, Tennessee and Huntsville, Alabama, from founder Jim Croy, Sr., last year. Teague lives in Elijay with his wife Sabrina. They have three daughters: Madison, Sydney and Georgia. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
