The Atlanta Braves unfortunately picked up right where they left off, opening the second half with a disappointing series loss to the New York Yankees. Grant McAuley sizes up where the Braves find themselves after stumbling to start the second half, the unusual place the club finds itself in as the trade deadline approaches, some signs of life for a pair of struggling players, the impressive right arm of Ronald Acuña Jr., strong hitting from the Atlanta catching duo leading to a lineup change and much more. Special guest Gaurav Vedak of Baseball Prospectus joins the show to recap the MLB Draft for the Braves, who strayed from their usual strategy of loading up on pitchers and instead focused on some impressive position player selections. That plus a look at the effect this class could have on the Braves minor league system. From The Diamond airs live on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta on Sundays throughout baseball season.

The 4th of July has passed, but there will be some fireworks in Atlanta in just a few days as one of the most electrifying events in baseball takes center stage. The Home Run Derby. A stacked field will arrive at Truist Park ready to put on a show. The eight contestants consist of Cal Raleigh, James Wood, Junior Caminero, Byron Buxton, Brent Rooker, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Oneil Cruz and Ronald Acuña Jr. Jake and Jordan have been bursting with excitement for this year's Derby, and now they break down the field and ultimately pick a winner. While those home run hitters are preparing to show off their power, the next great home run hitters might be waiting to hear their names called as the MLB Draft is just a couple of days away. The Washington Nationals have the number one pick, and coming off of a recent franchise overhaul, with the firing of their long-time GM and manager, they hope to take someone who will help carry them into the future. Jake and Jordan discuss this and chat about names to look out for in the 2025 MLB Draft. MLB has announced its top-20 highest selling jerseys, and to no one's surprise, Shohei Ohtani is at the top of that list. What is surprising is where some other players landed, including those who didn't make or fell off of the list.Last, but surely not least, everyone's favorite segment of the week is here. The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.

This week Ron, Elliott, and Pete welcome back special guest Dustin “The Duke” Duquenne as they dive headfirst into last weekend's fireworks at Wrigley, highlighted by an eight-homer beatdown of the Cardinals on the Fourth of July that set league and franchise records (for both teams!). As Elliott, Duke, and Pete gleefully recap every bomb, Ron copes with the Cardinals' ongoing rotation mismanagement – why hasn't Sonny Gray faced the Cubs this year? – and the baffling decision to keep running Miles Mikolas and Erick Fedde out to the mound.Duke brings the chaos, sparking classic banter and adding fuel to the fire during All-Star snub season. The guys vent about Seiya Suzuki's absence from the roster, Michael Busch's case over Freddie Freeman, and the absurdity of fan voting, especially when it gifts Ronald Acuña Jr. a starting spot with only 42 games played.Pete pays tribute to the late Lee Elia with a dramatic, profanity-laced replay of Elia's legendary 1983 tirade – a masterclass in manager meltdowns. They also touch on Andre Dawson's birthday, Wrigley's misunderstood park factors, and the absolute dumpster fire that is Cardinals Twitter/X.Other highlights include:A trade deadline preview and what the Cubs and Cardinals might doMic'd-up players and the awkward Sunday Night Baseball conversation with Masyn WinnThe Nationals' bizarre front office purgeRob Manfred's push for a salary cap and how that might actually workA nostalgic detour into He-Man toys and 80s cartoon logicRon's Soccer Minute: City SC's woes continue, with little hope coming via the transfer windowWhether you're basking in Cubs euphoria or buried under Cardinals frustration, this episode delivers laughs, rants, and the kind of unfiltered takes you've come to expect from the Team of Rivals.Check out Paul Jellison's full YouTube video of Lea Elia's rant.Check out this week's livestream on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, or X.Follow us on X and Instagram.

Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: Matt Olson, Chris Sale Join Ronald Acuna Jr. as Braves All-Stars The Atlanta Braves will have three players—Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Chris Sale—representing the team at the MLB All-Star Game on July 15 at Truist Park, marking Atlanta’s first time hosting since 2000. Acuña, a five-time All-Star, will also compete in the Home Run Derby, while Olson, a local standout, earned his third All-Star nod. Sale, a nine-time All-Star, won’t pitch due to injury but was recognized for his stellar season. The event brings excitement to a struggling Braves team, currently 39-50, and offers a special homecoming for Olson and Acuña. STORY 2: Gwinnett installing roundabout near Jackson Elementary Gwinnett County has begun a $1.65 million intersection improvement project near Jackson Elementary School at Sever Road and Tab Roberts Road in Lawrenceville. The project, expected to last until early 2027, includes installing a roundabout to enhance traffic flow and safety, along with new sidewalks, drainage, street lighting, and curb improvements. Funded by the 2023 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, the work is being carried out by Backbone Infrastructure LLC, approved by county commissioners in March. STORY 3: Gwinnett's congressional representatives weigh in on passage of the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Gwinnett County’s congressional representatives are divided over President Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill," which narrowly passed the House 218-214. Republicans Mike Collins and Andrew Clyde praised the bill, highlighting its tax cuts, debt ceiling raise, and support for Trump’s agenda. However, Democrats David Scott and Hank Johnson criticized it as harmful, citing Medicaid cuts, reduced food stamp benefits, and risks to rural hospitals. State Rep. Jasmine Clark, running for Congress, also condemned the bill, warning it would hurt south Gwinnett residents by stripping health insurance and food assistance. The bill has sparked sharp partisan debate over its impact on Americans. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.

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.

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.

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.
