The Midday Show

Andy and Will talked about Mike Foltynewicz's struggles and where the Braves starting staff goes from her now that they have designated him for assignment.

Andy and Will shared their thoughts on the Frank De Boer firing and Stephen Glass hiring (on an interim basis) for Atlanta United.

Falcons are supposedly reporting to training camp tomorrow. Andy explains how he has no idea what to expect from the Falcons this year and how different the feeling is around the team compared to 2016.

Andy and Will shared their thoughts on the new MLB extra inning rule and how it was beneficial for the Braves on Saturday. The guys also talked about how Contreras stepped up and the great offensive performance by the Braves last night.

Andy and Will, in for Randy, kick-off the show breaking down the news that the Marlins/Orioles game has been cancelled due to a Covid outbreak and how we have to rely on Rob Manfred's leadership for the MLB to get out of this mess.

Andy Bunker and Will Palaszczuk (filling in for Randy McMichael) shared their thoughts on Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson’s hot start to the season. Through the first three games of the 2020 season Swanson is 5-for-12 (.417) with a homerun, six RBI and three runs scored.

“He looks healthy. He is going the other way. When Dansby Swanson has power to the opposite field that’s when Dansby is at his best. Just an example of one of the many Braves who had a nice opening weekend,” said Bunker when summarizing Swanson’s start to the season.

Fox Sports Analyst and former Atlanta Braves pitcher Peter Moylan joined Andy Bunker and Jason Longshore earlier today and explained why players love playing for Braves Manager Brian Snitker.

“He is as genuine as you are going to find,” Moylan responded when asked why guys love playing for Snitker.

“With Snit (Brian Snitker) he just wears everything on his chest, on his heart, you know exactly what he is thinking at all times. He’ll keep you in line if you need to be kept in line. He’ll leave you alone if he thinks you need to be left alone. He is just the perfect player’s manager and he got that from Bobby (Bobby Cox),” Moylan continued.

Andy and Jason react to "What's Trending" including both Braves catchers being out tonight. They also discuss what's next when it comes to Juan Soto and his positive Coviid-19 test.

Andy and Jason break down some of the biggest questions facing the Braves heading into their season opener today. The guys talked specific numbers that should be benchmarks for certain players in this shortened season. Plus, it was a close one in Sports Jeopardy!

FOX Sports South Atlanta Braves analyst Peter Moylan joined Andy and Jason ahead of Opening Day. He discussed why players are so loyal to Snitker, his experience on Opening Day (his first one wasn't great) and what pitchers will need to step up this year for the Braves.
