The Braves are stumbling, and Buck Belue says it’s time to sound the alarm. Atlanta needs Chris Sale back sooner rather than later if they want to keep their postseason streak alive. With the Phillies up next, the pressure is on. Plus — don’t forget to vote for Ronald Acuña Jr. for the All-Star Game!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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.
Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to Ronald Acuña Jr. committing to the 2025 Home Run Derby, and explain why the Derby won't mess up his swing.
HR2 - Didier Fuentes has major league stuff, he just needs more experience In hour two Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac continue to react to the Atlanta Hawks making a draft-night trade in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft last night that sends the 13th overall pick Derik Queen to the Pelicans, and the rights to 23rd overall pick Asa Newell and an unprotected 2026 first-round pick (best from New Orleans or Milwaukee) to the Hawks once the deal is finalized. Mike, Beau, and Ali also let you hear Hawks' General Manager Onsi Saleh talk about Asa Newell being an incredible competitor, and react to what Saleh had to say. The Morning Shift crew also explains why they think the new Hawks' GM is going all in this season to see if Trae Young will be a part of the Hawks' long term future. Then, Mike, Beau, and Ali continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the New York Mets last night 7-3 in the third game of this four game series. The Morning Shift crew also explains why the Braves shouldn't renounce Didier Fuentes for struggling versus a good Mets lineup. Mike, Beau, and Ali also react to Ronald Acuña Jr. committing to the 2025 Home Run Derby, and explain why the Derby won't mess up his swing. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour two by diving into The Life of Mike Johnson and get Mike'd Up!
Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac recap and react to the Atlanta Braves coming back from a 3-0 deficit last night to beat the New York Mets 7-4 in game two of their four game series. Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Matt Olson's hot June shows he's capitalized on Ronald Acuña Jr.'s return.
Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac spend some time with Georgia native, former Atlanta Braves outfielder, and now Braves studio analyst for FanDuel Sports Network and Gray TV Charlie Culberson! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Charlie discuss Charlie's transition from playing in MLB to talking about it on TV, if it's tough for Charlier to talk about and critique some of the guys he's played with, what it was like coming for Charlie being able to come home and play with Braves, it being easier to watch, critique, and analyze the game of baseball when watching on TV instead of when you're playing, what Michael Harris has to do to turn things around at the plate, the Braves' inconsistent season, what traits make Ronald Acuña Jr. great, what getting a guy like Ronald Acuña Jr. back in the lineup does for the rest of the team, who is or are the leaders in the Braves' clubhouse, Matt Olson and Austin Riley being lead by example guys like Nick Markakis was for the Braves instead of vocal leaders, and how teammates react to a situation like Jurickson Profar's.
HR3 - Hawks trading for Kristaps Porzingis is very low risk, high reward move In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac spend some time with 92.9 The Games' own Atlanta Hawks insider and reporter Caleb Johnson! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Caleb discuss where Caleb was and what Caleb was doing when he found out the Hawks traded for Kristaps Porzingis, Caleb's reaction to the Porzingis trade, Caleb's thoughts on the Porzingis trade, if Caleb thinks the Kristaps Porzingis trade hints at this season being a make or break season for Trae Young and the Hawks, what Caleb's night will be like tonight covering the Hawks and what they do in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, and what new Hawks General Manager Onsi Saleh's philosophy is as a GM. Then, The Morning Shift crew lets callers give their take and thoughts on the Hawks trading for Kristaps Porzingis. Ali, Mike, and Beau also dive into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out this Wednesday edition of The Morning Shift by spending some time with Georgia native, former Atlanta Braves outfielder, and now Braves studio analyst for FanDuel Sports Network and Gray TV Charlie Culberson! Ali, Mike, Beau, and Charlie discuss Charlie's transition from playing in MLB to talking about it on TV, if it's tough for Charlier to talk about and critique some of the guys he's played with, what it was like coming for Charlie being able to come home and play with Braves, it being easier to watch, critique, and analyze the game of baseball when watching on TV instead of when you're playing, what Michael Harris has to do to turn things around at the plate, the Braves' inconsistent season, what traits make Ronald Acuña Jr. great, what getting a guy like Ronald Acuña Jr. back in the lineup does for the rest of the team, who is or are the leaders in the Braves' clubhouse, Matt Olson and Austin Riley being lead by example guys like Nick Markakis was for the Braves instead of vocal leaders, and how teammates react to a situation like Jurickson Profar's.
HR1 - Kristaps Porzingis trade comes with no downsides for Hawks In hour one Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets agreeing to a three-team deal yesterday that sent Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks, Terance Mann and Atlanta's No. 22 pick to the Brooklyn Nets, and Georges Niang and a second-rounder to the Celtics. Also, as part of the deal, Boston will receive Cleveland's 2031 second-round pick, which the Hawks previously had the rights to, and Atlanta will take Boston's least favorable 2026 second-round choice. Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Porzingis can make the Hawks a top five or a top six team in the East if he's healthy. Then, The Morning Shift crew recaps and reacts to the Atlanta Braves coming back from a 3-0 deficit last night to beat the New York Mets 7-4 in game two of their four game series. Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Matt Olson's hot June shows he's capitalized on Ronald Acuña Jr.'s return. The Morning Shift crew also talks about the biggest local and national headlines in The Front Page! On this edition of The Front Page Mike, Beau, and Ali let you hear Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers talk about how this season is likely his last season in the NFL before he retires in an interview he did on "The Pat McAfee Show" yesterday. The Morning Shift crew also explains why Rodgers saying this year is likely his last right now makes it more believable that this season is actually his last one. Mike, Beau, and Ali also quickly preview and mention that round one of the 2025 NBA Draft is tonight. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour one by diving into the life of Ali Mac in Ali's Mac Drop!

They also talk NBA Draft, Buster Olney, the Atlanta Hawks and Falcons Training Camp being a month away. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ronald “let it fly” around first, then hit the euro-step on his way to third, and the boos from the crowd were the loudest that they were all night. We have no idea how the 2025 Braves will finish, but what we do know is that Ronald Acuña Jr is on another historic pace of a season after missing the first six weeks while rehabbing his second knee surgery, and he absolutely loves playing at Citi Field, as did Braves Hall of Famer Chipper Jones. In fact, Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young loves taking it to the New York crowd too, and they hate him for it. Andy Bunker and Abe Gordon talk about Acuña Jr's historic pacing season, and where the Braves head from here.
En el noticiero de hoy de Baseball News te contamos todo lo más importante que dejó la jornada de las Grandes Ligas. Elly de la Cruz aplasta a los Yankees con 3 hits, incluyendo un jonrón, en la gran victoria de los Rojos. Mariners siguen encendidos con 4 jonrones más, Cal Raleigh llega a 32 y Bryan Woo poncha a 9 en paliza sobre los Twins. Damos un repaso a la lesión devastadora de Corbin Carroll, la paliza de los Dbacks sobre Medias Blancas y la gran actuación de Eduardo Rodríguez. Además, Bravos vencen a Mets con cuadrangular de Ronald Acuña Jr. y una joya de Spencer Schwellenbach. En otro resultado, Trevor Rogers y Jackson Holliday guían la blanqueada de Orioles ante Rangers. Y ya se emitió el segundo boletín de votación para el Juego de Estrellas: Aaron Judge y Shohei Ohtani siguen arrasando.
BT & Sal delve into the Mets' struggles and what they believe is a concerning lack of fire, especially when facing Ronald Acuña Jr. The hosts lament Acuña's "gyrations and dancing" and question why the Mets can't "put one in the back of Acuña at some point," suggesting a more aggressive, old-school response to his showboating to ignite a much-needed competitive edge within the team. They critique the Mets' current accepting attitude towards substandard play and debate potential lineup changes to spark some energy, including moving Pete Alonso to the two-hole, while ultimately stressing the importance of the team's attitude dictating performance, much like the Braves' energetic approach.

The Atlanta Braves took a significant step toward turning their season around by sweeping the New York Mets only to stumble in a series loss to the Miami Marlins over the weekend and receive crushing injury news on ace Chris Sale. With another showdown with the Mets beginning Monday and a series with the Philadelphia Phillies to follow, can the Braves rise to the occasion? Grant McAuley discusses the week that was and the pivotal week ahead, Sale's injury prognosis, and where the rotation goes from here. Meanwhile, Ronald Acuña Jr.'s transcendent play has not been enough to spark an Atlanta lineup with too many holes. Can Jurickson Profar's return help turn things around? The Braves bullpen is still a work in progress, but has been through its fair share of challenges in 2025. Relievers Pierce Johnson and Dylan Dodd share some insights in this week's conversations from the clubhouse. We'll also take a trip around the big leagues to cover some heat between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. Chris Cotillo of MassLive joins to unpack the saga which led the Red Sox to trade slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

Something the Braves showed last night that we have not necessarily seen a lot of from them this season is the ability to com through in clutch situations. Marcell Ozuna with a base-clearing double in the 8th to tie the game, then Austin Riley with the long fly ball to win after Ronald Acuña Jr. was walked intentionally in the 10th. This is what the Braves need, and for the long term, as they have dug themselves in quite the hole since the season started.

After showing signs of life when the month began, the Atlanta Braves hit the skids and dropped in the standings as the month of May came to a close. Even with superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. and ace righty Spencer Strider back, the club has been unable to maintain its momentum and is once again scratching and clawing for wins after dropping back below .500. Grant McAuley discusses the week that was for the Braves, the struggles of the offense both individually and collectively, the overall quality of the pitching for the month, and yet another season-ending injury as AJ Smith-Shawver's promising campaign was cut short.
