Carl and Mike come back with some Falcons talk and react to an article in which James Pearce Jr. is considered to be a more favorable candidate for DROY over Jalon Walker despite the fact Walker was drafted ahead of Pearce Jr. As they discuss the differences they see in the two Falcons rookies, they agree on the potential of both players being in the running for the defensive award based on how well they played in college.

Carl and Mike come back with more reaction to the news of Spencer Schwellenbach being sent to the 15-day IL as he is dealing with a fractured elbow and s they discuss, they agree the blow of losing another starting pitcher is likely going to put final nails in coffin for Braves' season and therefore, they should seriously consider shutting Ronald Acuna Jr. down if they get to the point where it is obvious they will miss the playoffs.

Carl and Mike are joined by Mike Conti as they discuss the Hawks offseason and all that has gone wrong for Atlanta United this season.

Carl and Mike come back with more Braves as they react to news of Braves having to place Spencer Schwellenbach on the 15-day IL backdated to June 29th with a fractured elbow leading both the guys to believe the season is really over and Brian Snitker may be at his wits end.

Carl and Mike come back with more brief thoughts on the Braves struggles and agree they do not believe the great hitters of the past relied on scouting reports , rather relied solely on feel and confidence.
