ATL All Day Podcast ATL All Day

ATL All Day Editors Brad Rowland and Carlos Collazo get together and try to make sense of the Nick Markakis signing and the general strategies of the Atlanta Braves this offseason. No one told them that might be impossible. Georgia Tech-Florida State is also discussed at the end for those interested in the ACC Championship game.

On today's episode, Eric Graff, Brad Stiene, Drew Wilburn and myself got together in a Google + Hangout to talk about all kinds of Atlanta Braves stuff. We went over:

-Greg Maddux entering the Hall of Fame without a logo
-Bobby Cox, Tom Glavine and Maddux all entering the Hall together
-Freddy Garcia's recent minor league contract
-Eric O'Flaherty signing with the Oakland Athletics
-All kinds of arbitration talk.
-And finally, we talked about the Braves new stadium plans, since we've only written about this

In the latest edition of the podcast Carlos, Eric, Brad S., and Drew talk solely Braves baseball. Topics include:

-The Braves Hot Streak
-The new lineup
-The trade deadline
-The lead in the NL East
-and more...

Brad and Carlos are joined by Eric Graff, Brad Steine, and Drew Wilburn. We discuss a variety of topics including but not limited to:

-The All Star game and whether it needs changes
-Pitbull
-How the surplus of injuries impacts the Braves moving forward
-Many different opinions on Brandon Beachy and Paul Maholm
-Hawks summer league talk
-Whether it was a good idea or not to sign Jeff Teague
-And Carlos gets jumped by the Kentucky fans

Brad and Carlos have another chat about Atlanta Sports.

Disclaimer: The sound quality from Carlos's end isn't as good as it normally is...apparently Brad can use the Apple earbuds just fine but Carlos can't. It'll be the headset from here on out for him.

What we get into:

-Atlanta Hawks free agent targets
-Dwight Howard
-The Hawks NBA Draft
-The Point Guard Situation
-How the Braves are doing
-Dismissing the Joba Chamberlain Rumors
-Brandon Beachy and the "you can never have too much pitching" cliche

Carlos and Brad discuss the hiring of San Antonio Spurs assistant coach, Mike Budenholzer. Brad explains the pros and cons of Budenholzer, talks about the pros and cons of some of the candidates that were rumored to be in the mix, and touches on Larry Drew and Al Horford as well. We also discuss a bit of Braves baseball.
