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.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin the show discussing Anthony Santander moving to the 60-day IL and Lazaro Estrada's promotion to the Majors, if the Blue Jays can keep the top spot of the AL East, how the coaching staff utilizes Chad Green, and how the trade deadline focus will be dictated by the roster's health and success. Then, Jays manager John Schneider stops by (30:37) to chat about his team's winning streak, George Springer's ability to hit the fastball this season, Addison Barger's plate discipline, Max Scherzer's status for the weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels, the pitching staff's approach against the Halos and how much credit he gives to the infield coaches for the team's baserunning improvements.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The NBA Finals and Pacers' performance led to a discussion about the Knicks being the third-best team despite perceptions of a poor season, with Mike Brown expected to be their new head coach. C-Lo's update covered the Mets' losses in Atlanta, the Yankees' win over the Angels before hosting the Orioles, an ump's bad call costing Yamamoto an immaculate inning, and a heated Dodgers/Padres game with multiple hit batsmen. The Pacers forced a Game 7 in the NBA Finals, and the segment concluded with a discussion of athletes watching 'Love Island,' Gio learning the meaning of 'en Wei,' and a tribute to a friend of Boomer's who passed away.

The Mets were swept in Atlanta and head to Philadelphia, with concerns about their hitting and the need for a "slump buster." Meanwhile, the Yankees snapped their losing streak with back-to-back homers, the Pacers beat OKC to force a Game 7 in the NBA Finals, and it's expected that Mike Brown will soon be named the Knicks' new coach after the Finals. The concept of "slump busting" even extended to a caller's personal anecdote.

Hour 1 The Mets were swept in Atlanta and head to Philadelphia, with concerns about their hitting and the need for a "slump buster." Meanwhile, the Yankees snapped their losing streak with back-to-back homers, the Pacers beat OKC to force a Game 7 in the NBA Finals, and it's expected that Mike Brown will soon be named the Knicks' new coach after the Finals.

The Pacers forced a Game 7 in the NBA Finals, and the segment concluded with a discussion of athletes watching 'Love Island,' Gio learning the meaning of 'en Wei,' and a tribute to a friend of Boomer's who passed away. Hour 3 The Mets are on a six-game losing streak, sparking discussions about a "slump buster" and their offensive struggles, compounded by a sudden shortage of pitchers. The Yankees ended their own losing streak despite Anthony Volpe's fielding issues. Both New York teams have displayed fundamental errors, prompting debate about managerial responsibility. In other news, the Pacers forced a Game 7 in the NBA Finals, Chris Russo is loving the 50th anniversary of Jaws, and callers discussed granola bars and WFAN host tattoos. Hour 4 The broadcast touched on local summer traffic and quirky home gadgets like "the Clapper." Boomer noted an old fish smell at WFAN as C-Lo prepared an update, which included audio of Sal's show baseball card with BT, and a college radio clip featuring John Minko and Andy "the Walrus." Shedeur Sanders addressed his recent speeding tickets. The "Moment of the Day" involved explaining "slump busters" to Boomer. The segment concluded with a discussion of WFAN shows and podcasts appearing at FanaticsFest this weekend, and the topic of fake sneezing in front of dogs.

We heard the call as the Mets walked in 1 of 2 runs last night. The Yankees finally won a game with back to back homers by Grisham and Goldschmidt.

The Lakers are being sold for $10 billion. Would Dolan or the Steinbrenners consider selling? Gio says fans, not the Yankees, are responsible for overhyping Anthony Volpe. The Yankees and Mets had another night of bad losses and their division leads are shrinking. The hour ended with a debunked Hulk Hogan report, Shedeur Sanders getting pulled over for speeding and more Anthony Volpe calls.

Hour 1 The Yankees and Mets both lost again but Gio is trying to stay positive. What can the teams do about Anthony Volpe and Francisco Alvarez? CLo plays the lowlight of the Volpe error from the Yankees loss and then moves to the Mets getting shutout in Atlanta. Boomer thinks Thursday will be “explosion day” for the Yankees offense. Finally, a song from Boomer's youth is popular on TikTok and Gio has a question for Eddie about dogs. Hour 2 The Lakers are being sold for $10 billion. Would Dolan or the Steinbrenners consider selling? Gio says fans, not the Yankees, are responsible for overhyping Anthony Volpe. The Yankees and Mets had another night of bad losses and their division leads are shrinking. The hour ended with a debunked Hulk Hogan report, Shedeur Sanders getting pulled over for speeding and more Anthony Volpe calls. Hour 3 Boomer and Gio are asked about the King of NY. Adam Schefter is getting into golf. We have an answer on the last time both the Yankees and Mets had losing streaks this long at the same time. CLo has all of the lowlights and postgame reaction from another night of losing New York baseball. Scottie Scheffler says golf fans root for carnage. Boomer and Gio congratulate Ann Liguori. Hour 4 Atlanta is still a house of horrors for the Mets and Gio believes he has a good relationship with Carlos Mendoza, who could be at Fanatics Fest on Saturday. Tommy DeVito and Jaxson Dart watch Love Island together. Can women parallel park and is Evan a classic Muppet?

Anthony Volpe's error allowed the go-ahead run to score for the Angels. Boomer says bet the Yankees today as it will be “explosion day”. Paul Blackburn allowed a HR on the first pitch of the game and that was all the Braves needed to beat the Mets. Luis Torrens made a mental error that gave the Braves a run later in the inning. How can the Mets fix Francisco Alvarez?

Gio lamented how quickly jokes spread and become stale, referencing a Shedeur Sanders joke. Gio voted for King of NY Sports for Evan & Tiki, while Boomer did not. Adam Schefter is getting into golf; Gio reflected on his own golf game. Gio agreed with a caller about letting go of comparisons in sports, noting teams use them to sell tickets. A caller shared Schefter is always on his phone, leading Gio to believe people seek info from him. CLo updated after Joey from Yonkers revealed the Yankees and Mets last had simultaneous 5-game losing streaks in August 1996. The Yankees lost their sixth straight (Cody Bellinger's HR wasn't enough), and the Mets their fifth. Both aim to avoid a second consecutive sweep. Scottie Scheffler noted fans want golf "carnage" but not in other sports; varied courses make golf unique. A kindergartener drew Boomer and Gio. Finally, Boomer and Gio congratulated Ann Liguori on her Gracie Award for "Talking Golf with Ann Liguori" on WFAN. The segment ended with a note about parking difficulties.
