HR3 - Hawks have found their core players & now it’s time to build around them
In hour three Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan quickly touch on some of the biggest headlines around the local and national sports scene, continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Hawks getting embarrassed at home last night by the New York Knicks in Game six of their first round playoff series 140-89, let listeners call into the show and give their thoughts on the Hawks embarrassing loss last night, and explain why they think Jalen Johnson needs to do his part and recruit some players to Atlanta. Then, Mike, Ali, and Beau spend some time with 92.9 The Game's own Atlanta Braves insider and reporter, Grant McAuley! Beau, Mike, Ali, and Grant discuss how challenging this upcoming road trip is going to be for the Braves, if Braves Manager Walt Weiss should give third baseman Austin Riley a day off to maybe give him a little reset to possibly get him out of this slump he’s in right now, what the Braves lineup and rotations will look like when catcher Sean Murphy returns to the lineup during the team’s series against the Seattle Mariners, what the corresponding move will be when Murphy returns, what the reasoning was behind Braves Manager Walt Weiss and the team having starting pitcher Spencer Strider making his season debut on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies as opposed to today or tomorrow, if Braves utility player Mauricio Dubón will spend more time playing left field when shortstop Ha-Seong Kim returns from injury, where Braves closer Raisel Iglesias is at when it comes to him returning from injury, and Braves bullpen pitcher Joel Payamps and the Braves bullpen not having a great day against the Detroit Tigers yesterday. The Morning Shift crew also talks about if it’s normal for a car salesman to ask someone what bank they’re using to finance their car and how much they still owe on the car after Mike’s wife Lindsey was asked those same questions yesterday by a car salesman, and then close out hour three by answering people’s questions about anything, including the Atlanta Hawks’ blowout 140-89 loss at home to the New York Knicks last night in Game six of their first round playoff series, in the Morning Mailbag!
