HR3 - If nothing else, Braves must get 2 reliable starting pitchers at trade deadline In hour three Mike Johnson and Beau Morgan continue to react to ESPN putting out a list of the top 10 safeties in the NFL as voted on by league scouts, executives and coaches, react to Atlanta Falcons safety Jessie Bates III being ranked as the fifth best safety and Falcons other safety Xavier Watts being in the ‘Honorable Mentions’ category, talk about how the Detroit Lions have a lot of players in the Top 10 of their respective positions, and explain why they think the Lions have the most balanced roster in NFL and should be Super Bowl favorites this season. Then, Mike and Beau spend some time with 92.9 The Game's own Atlanta Braves insider and reporter, Grant McAuley! Mike, Beau, and Grant discuss there being a lot of pressure on the Braves to win their game against the Texas Rangers tonight, especially with Chris Sale on the mound and to get off to a good start to the second half of the season, if there is a specific place that Braves star first baseman and slugger Matt Olson should be batting in the lineup, what Grant thinks the timeline is for Braves star right fielder and leadoff hitter Ronald Acuña Jr. returning from injury and rejoining the Atlanta Braves, how Grant feels about how the Braves are handling some of their young pitchers, if he thinks JR Ritchie is ready to be in the Braves starting pitching rotation, if the Braves young pitchers are ready to help the Braves make a run at the pennant, what Grant thinks the Braves will do before the trade deadline, and who Grant thinks is the most important starter in the Braves starting pitching rotation other than Chris Sale heading into the second half of the season. Finally, The fellas close out hour three by spending some time with 92.9 The Game’s own soccer insider Madison Crews! Beau, Mike, and Madison discuss what Madison’s takeaways were from the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final match between Argentina and England here in Atlanta, Georgia, what she thinks about how England tried to defend Lionel Messi and the Argentina attack, what Madison thinks about the adjustments Argentina made to address the way England was defending them, how Madison feels about the 2026 FIFA World Cup final match between Spain and Argentina, why the final is being played in New York/New Jersey instead of Texas or Atlanta, the England soccer team having a lot of questions to answer over the next four years, how Madison feels about Atlanta United, what Madison thinks United can do in the rest of their season, and The Five Stripes having three matches in the next seven days.
