    Wrapping up the challenging season that was for the 2024 Atlanta Braves

    It was a year like no other for the Atlanta Braves, a year filled with challenges and obstacles that ultimately led them back to October, only to fall short of their postseason goals. Grant McAuley recaps the 2024 season for the Braves, from the injuries and setbacks the team faced, to the surprising performances and players who helped the club fight its way through and get a chance to have a taste of the playoffs for a seventh consecutive year. You'll hear from Atlanta GM Alex Anthopoulos and manager Brian Snitker, who met with the media on Friday to discuss the year that was, the winter to come, the decisions ahead for the club and their outlook on the 2025 campaign. Gabe Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution joins the show to unpack the recently completed season, take stock of where the Braves are, what they need to do this winter, and how they could approach the Hot Stove season to come.

    Down the stretch they come, can the Atlanta Braves reach October?

    Locked in a four-way battle for one of three Wild Card spots, the Atlanta Braves have just a week remaining to punch their ticket to the postseason. Grant McAuley takes you through the week that was for the Braves, one that included the maddeningly inconsistent offense and some missed opportunities to beat lesser teams that could loom large this time of year. With several big bats finally getting hot, can Atlanta get on track in the final few series of the regular season and find its way into October? Will the return of Ozzie Albies benefit the club in more ways than one? Can anyone stop Chris Sale from earning his first career Cy Young. With Shohei Ohtani's history-making performance in establishing the 50-50 club, we look back on Ronald Acuña Jr.'s historic 40-70 season, what the two have in common, why comparison is the thief of joy, and what having this style of baseball back in the mainstream means to the game itself. And with their rivalry rekindled can the Braves and Mets write another memorable chapter this week as they clash at Truist Park with a playoff spot on the line? Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh joins the show to discuss. All of that and a trip around the big leagues on this edition of From The Diamond!

    Atlanta Braves' hunt for October coming down to the wire

    The Atlanta Braves come down the stretch in a four-way battle for one of three Wild Card spots in the National League. Can they find the offense to back up the stellar pitching and secure their place in the postseason? Grant McAuley discusses the latest goings on for the Braves, which includes their path to the playoffs. With the New York Mets, San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks all battling it out and with head-to-head meetings still to come, this four-team race could come down to the final series of the season. The Braves offense has been particularly down in September and need to course correct to support the pitching staff which is the best in Major Leagues. We'll dive into the numbers and highlight some key players who could help Atlanta make a run to and through October. Whit Merrifield returned to the Braves lineup despite suffering a fractured left foot. Hear from the Atlanta second baseman on why getting back in the lineup was so important to him. Meanwhile, reliever A.J. Minter discusses his season-ending surgery, time in a Braves uniform, and his mindset heading into free agency. Heidi Watney of AppleTV joins the show to discuss the big weekend showdown between the Braves and Dodgers, the similarities between both teams this season, the incredible numbers of Shohei Ohtani, and the final playoff push for the NL Wild Card spots.

    Will it be a September to remember for the Atlanta Braves?

    After dropping a series in frustrating fashion to first place Philadelphia, the Atlanta Braves must regroup over the final month to secure a spot in the postseason. Grant McAuley discussed the series against the Phillies, waning division title hope, the wild card picture, some offensive trends for several key players that are encouraging for some and require improvement for others. We'll also turn our attention to the Wild Card race, which has five viable contender for three spot, with Atlanta right in the middle of all these teams. Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution checks in from Philadelphia, where the Braves dropped 3-of-4 with a pair of games slipping through their fingers in the hard-fought series. They discuss that series, the wild card hopefuls, and update the status of All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies. In our trip around the big leagues, a pair of Scott Boras clients have differing feelings about their free agency last winter, the son of a longtime major league manager makes his major league debut, and Jaylon Thompson of the Kansas City Star joins the show to chat about the upstart Kansas City Royals, led by MVP candidate Bobby Witt Jr. and eyeing a spot in October for the first time in a decade.

    The one where we discuss August and everything after for the Atlanta Braves

    The Atlanta Braves finished off a winning homestand but now face another big challenge as they hit the road against two more teams with their focus set on October. Grant McAuley recaps an eventful week for the Braves, who lost All-Star third baseman Austin Riley to a fractured right hand, the latest in a string of injuries to key players this season. Riley and manager Brian Snitker discussed this latest setback this week. Will the acquisition of Gio Urshela be enough to hold down the hot corner? Can Atlanta steer clear of any major injuries moving forward? The answer was murky after Michael Harris II was hit by a pitch on his left hand on Sunday, though he has appeared to have dodged a major malady for the moment. Brandon Gaudin of Bally Sports joins the show to size up where the Braves are, the standout work by several injury replacements, and preview the upcoming road trip which includes a stop in Minnesota and the final regular season showdown with the first place Phillies. You'll also hear from Braves reliever Pierce Johnson, who discusses the impact of losing A.J. Minter for the season, the strong work from the Atlanta bullpen this year, and the mindset of the team moving forward. Mike Ferrin of MLB Network Radio joins the show to discuss the latest in a long line of accomplishments for Shohei Ohtani, who joined the 40-40 club over the weekend, the chances of a 50-50 season, and size up some of the races in the American League.

    Atlanta Braves trying to weather another injury storm to secure their spot in the postseason

    The Atlanta Braves were able to bring home a winning record on their 10-game road trip, but were hit with a barrage of injuries in the process. Grant McAuley discusses how the latest injury issues could affect Atlanta's stretch drive, with none bigger than the uncertainty surrounding third baseman Austin Riley. He was hit by a pitch on the right hand and is set to undergo further testing as the club returns home. Between that, Jorge Soler's hamstring issue, and potential season-ending surgery for A.J. Minter, it was a tough stretch for the club on the health front. Not all was doom and gloom, however. Chris Sale continued his run of dominance this season and could be poised to do something no Braves pitcher has done since 1889! Teammate Marcell Ozuna is also in the running for a pretty special distinction if he can finish strong over the final six weeks. Atlanta is set to welcome Reynaldo Lopez back from the IL this week and benefiting from the play of two injury replacements -- Whit Merrifield and Ramon Laureano. The legend of Grant Holmes continued against the Giants and Charlie Morton reached a major strikeout milestone as well on this trip. We'll get into that and much more in "This Week in Braves Baseball." Special guest Brad Rowland of Hammer Territory joins the show to discuss the road trip, the injuries and what's ahead for the Braves as the get set for a showdown with the Philadelphia Phillies this week at Truist Park. Be sure to subscribe to Hammer Territory wherever you get your podcasts. Also, from the archives this week, Braves great Dale Murphy shares his memories and the rationale behind the 1990 trade that sent him to the Phillies some 34 years ago. Hear the inside story from the man himself! All of that and a trip around the big leagues on this edition of the show! From The Diamond airs live on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta every weekend.

    As they slide in the standings, can the Atlanta Braves make a stand on this long road trip?

    With one of the worst weeks in recent memory behind them, the Atlanta Braves are hoping to find their footing in the Wild Card race as they finish up a 10-game road trip. Grant McAuley discussed the letdown in Colorado following a stunning defeat at the hands of the lowly Rockies which cost Atlanta a series win on Sunday. We'll break down the pitching issues that have compounded for the Braves at a critical time on their schedule, what they can do to fix it, and discuss whether or not the offense could finally be up to the task of covering for the pitching staff. David O'Brien of The Athletic joins the show to discuss what's gone wrong for the Braves this season and particularly in the second half, whether or not the club did enough at the Trade Deadline, what has to change for the offense to get going, and how the departures of key coaches could be affecting the overall morale of the club as it deals with one of the most challenging seasons in recent memory.

    Trade deadline behind them, the Atlanta Braves embark on stretch drive

    The Atlanta Braves and the rest of MLB have done all the wheeling and dealing they could and now prepare for the final two months of the season on the road to October. Grant McAuley recaps the week that was for the Braves, which included some encouraging signs and a more of the same in some cases. The return of Max Fried was overshadowed by a series loss to the retooling Miami Marlins over the weekend, but the first place Philadelphia Phillies have been encountering some trouble over the past few weeks. Is the time right for Atlanta to make a push for its seventh straight NL East title? With the addition of Jorge Soler, the Braves lineup should get a much-needed lift at the leadoff spot. Can the rest of the bats get going and keep going at the right time? First baseman Matt Olson has emerged from a long cold spell. Hear from Olson on what it's taken to navigate the lows this season and where he feels the team is trending with less than two months to go. Nick Green of Bally Sports joins the show to size up the trade deadline deal for Soler and Luke Jackson, what needs to happen for Atlanta to finally get its bats going, a deeper dive on Olson and Marcell Ozuna, as well as the strength of the Atlanta pitching staff after not going after a starter via trade.
