    Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner joins the show on the final day of the season from Baltimore - the site of today’s doubleheader.

    S1E44: He Did It Again

    S1E44: He Did It Again

    The Braves may have lost game 3, but that can't dampen my spirits after AA locked up Michael Harris for the next 8-10 years and we got to see a return to the mound for one Michael Soroka. Max Fried comes off the concussion IL and we get the premier pitching matchup in baseball tonight as the Braves look to win the series against the Mets and cut the division lead to 3.5 games.

    S1E39: Trade Deadline Madness

    S1E39: Trade Deadline Madness

    It's Trade Deadline Day in Major League Baseball and boy this season did NOT disappoint. Trades are flying everywhere, and while other teams were looking to add star pieces, the Braves Alex Anthopoulos was busy stealth bombing the league with a major extension for July's player of the month Austin Riley. Get ready for a fast paced, crazy episode.

    S1E8: "Taking Shape"

    S1E8: "Taking Shape"

    Not content to rest on their laurels, Alex Anthopoulos and the Braves continued adding yesterday and now we see what the final product may look like. A playoff hero returns, and the Braves look ready to enter the season with an absolutely stacked roster. Not all is peaches and cream, however, as Freddie Freeman finally signs - with the evil blue empire no less.

    S1E7: "Change Is Inevitable"

    S1E7: "Change Is Inevitable"

    The Freddie Freeman Era is over, but that doesn't mean the Braves are. It isn't easy to say, but with yesterday's trade and today's massive extension, the Braves are a better ballclub today than they were at the end of '21. It's never easy to lose a franchise icon, but sometimes in this sport you need to have the stones to do what's best for the team. With a few more roster holes that need to be filled, let's see what else Alex has up his sleeve.

    God Sees You Differently

    God Sees You Differently

    In baseball, the midpoint of the season is when the all-star game is played. The all-star break is a time where major league teams evaluate their chances at making the playoffs.   The 2021 Atlanta Braves had a losing record of 44-45 at the all-star break.  Superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. was lost to a season-ending knee injury.   Atlanta’s pitching ace Mike Soroka was also out and hurt.  Experts gave the Braves a 0.3 percent chance of winning the World Series.  Very little was going well for the Braves most folks saw them including this fan as a losing team.  

    Alex Anthopoulos the general manager of the Braves did not see them as a losing team.  He acquired Joc Pederson, Adam Duvall, Jorge Soler, and Eddie Rosario remaking the outfield along with fireballer Richard Rodriguez reinforcing the bullpen.   The 44-45 Braves got the message, their general manager saw them differently not as a losing team but as a World Series-winning team which is exactly what they became.   

    Abram grew up in a pagan home in an unbelieving and idolatrous society.  With such an upbringing many could easily see Abram as a sinful unbelieving man, however, God saw things differently.  When Abram was 99 years old God made an extraordinary promise to a person of his background.  The Lord declared to Abram that at long last he and his wife would have a son and that he was changing his name to Abraham reflective of God’s vision and status for him to become the father of many nations.  

    God sees you differently from what you and the world may see you to be. God’s plans for you are far greater than we can ever imagine.  Many of us may not know how God sees us and what plans God has for our lives.  The discovery process may take some time remember Abraham was 99 when God came to him, but it will happen.  For those of us who know what God has in store for us, I have this advice live as God sees you and not as the world sees you.   We need to look no further than the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves and Abraham to know that God sees you differently.

    A Review of the Shapiro/Atkins Body of Work & More With Andrew Stoeten

    A Review of the Shapiro/Atkins Body of Work & More With Andrew Stoeten

    We hear all the time of good stories where athletes come from nowhere to be stars in their sport at all levels, so why not add one from the other side to the feel good list? We all could use a heart warming tale no?


    Well, this isn't as much of a tale as it is a discussion about all things Blue Jays, but a discussion with Andrew Stoeten is in fact a good story. Andrew tells how he came to be one of the brightest and most respected writers covering the Blue Jays and baseball in the GTA and Canada.


    Andrew and Jonah Sigel discuss the Alex Anthopoulos years, the transition from Beeston to Shaprio, the passing of the torch up to the current state of the franchise. Was Vladdy overhyped, what they should Rogers do with the stadium, what is holding back renovations and is the manager doing a good job are among the things Andrew dishes on.


    If you are baseball fan and, or a fan of the Blue Jays you will enjoy this session.
