The Atlanta Braves rode a record June to the best record in Major League Baseball, clubbing teams into submission with an offense that is firing on all cylinders.

Grant McAuley hits all the headlines and stories from the week that was for the Atlanta Braves and breaks down the incredible numbers behind a June Boom that leaves even members of the Braves searching for ways to put it into perspective. Meanwhile, Ronald Acuña Jr. continues to put up numbers the likes of which we've never seen before. Hear about his latest accomplishments and the red-hot offense that is taking the NL East by storm after a sweep of the second place Miami Marlins and yet another long winning streak.

The Braves are sending an MLB-best eight All-Stars to Seattle, including a handful of first-timers that are being rewarded for their contributions in the first half of the season. You'll also hear from Michael Soroka, who returned from Triple-A and took the mound at Truist Park for the first time since August 3, 2020, earning a win over the Marlins this week.

While everything is coming up Braves lately, the New York Mets are a team heading in the wrong direction. Casey Stern joins the show to discuss what the Mets and impetuous owner Steve Cohen may be looking to do in order to reverse the club's fortunes and/or get them back on track in 2024 and beyond.

All of that and a trip around the big leagues!
