This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max.

With the UAE for Champions League kicking off

and a brand new format for the new season,

you've got to wonder, will anything ever be the same?

Well, one thing you can know for sure is that Pepsi Max,

as proud sponsors of the men's and women champions league,

will be cheering from the sidelines like never before.

Pepsi Max, Dirsty for more. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 406 with the battery power podcast. I am your host, Brad

Roland. Coming to you on a Sunday evening here on July 2nd.

And I am joined by no one on this first part of the podcast.

My friend Scott Coleman, my usual co-host, is in transit this weekend.

Next week, I will be not here also covering basketball, but Scott will be back and we'll have

plenty of content in this space. And also later on in this podcast, I will be joined by

Carlos Colazo of Baseball America. Carlos actually was the founding co-host of this podcast alongside me

many, many years ago, and now covers the MLB Draft and the minor league baseball scene, college

baseball, high school baseball, etc. for Baseball America. And he will be on the broadcast

at the M&B Network throughout the draft process. So a genuine expert, he'll be on the podcast later on and talk about the draft from the

Braves side, the top of the draft, and all that fun stuff.

But first, plenty to get to about the Atlanta Braves right now because, in short, the Braves

are the hottest team in baseball.

They have won eight games in a row, including a sweep against the Miami-Marlins this

weekend.
