Atlanta's Own: An Atlanta Sports Podcast

In this week's abbreviated show, the boys discuss whether or not Spencer Strider should enter the rotation, should Travis Demerrtte be sent back to Gwinnett, Dansby's hot streak and how the Braves need to take advantage of an easy June schedule.

They also discuss how Deion Jones' trade value has tanked given his recent shoulder injury and the never ending battle of the Falcons not caring about their offensive line will continue to doom them.

For the first time in Atlanta's Own History, Graham listened to feedback that he has been getting for years and tried sitting closer to his microphone. As you finally hear Graham without having to strain your ears, you will enjoy some Braves conversation about some real concerns in this still early baseball season along with discussion about the Falcons rookie mini camp where we saw real leadership potential out of 3rd round QB Desmond Ridder.

While Adam goes on a nice vacay, user Josef Bell fills in to talk with Graham about Manny Pina's injury, the signs of life the Braves showed against the Brewers and the long term outlook of an uncertain outfield sans Ronald Acuna.

We also get Josef's thoughts on why extending Grady will help the Falcons in the long run even if the extension comes during a rebuild and Josef's opinion on the draft and why the Falcons have a long road to hoe.

In our quarterly Atlanta United update, Graham reveals his own ignorance by not knowing anything about United, but Josef paints a picture of a resilient team despite the injuries they've suffered.

The boys come to you from the past! Before the Falcons bafflingly took Drake London as the eighth overall pick, there was hope! We break down what we wanted in the first round and how ignoring the trenches would be a huge mistake.

The Ronald Acuna-less Braves have started their World Series defense with mixed results. The boys break down the good (Spencer Strider) and the bad (Dansby Swanson) of what they have seen so far. Despite it being playoff time, this Hawks team is still not inspiring confidence or excitement.
