    Episode 436: Beleaguered Buster

    Episode 436: Baseball is Dead is Down One Man. No, it’s not because our guy Jared Carrabis ate 106 off his home, Saugus tough. Buster Posey feels like he just got rocked after another day of Giants stories dominating baseball. Posey’s comments on the Pride Night fiasco have left Giants fans wanting more, just like the team’s performance on the field. Jay Hay makes the case again for the Giants being forced to trade their ace Logan Webb, and the guys react to Rafael Devers’ comments on his pinch-running incident. The Phillies lit up the Nationals in the 9th inning and are now just 5.5 games back of the first-place Atlanta Braves. The crew discusses the possibility of Philly storming back in the NL East race. Pete Crow-Armstrong’s hot streak continues, but so do the injuries across the Chicago Cubs’ starting rotation. With two starters landing on the IL, everyone’s wondering what the Cubs’ next pitching move will be. And lastly, the guys show some love to players across the league for their recent performances, and Jay Hay delivers some award-winning nugs! 00:00:00 - Jared Day To Day, Head Contusion   00:04:05 - Buster Posey’s Statement on Pride Night  00:15:01 - Rafael Devers Speaks  00:20:34 - Do The Giants Have To Trade Logan Webb?     00:34:37 - Phillies Light Up The 9th vs Washington  00:42:02 - Jazz Chisholm, The Lollipop Kid. 00:51:22 - Show’em Some Love  01:00:00 - PCA’s Greatness | Cubs Pitching Injuries Grow 01:05:47 - Can the Phillies catch the Braves?  01:12:52 - Award-Winning Nugs    01:15:28 - Final Thoughts  NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 get $20 on Kalshi - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/BID Sign Up For Our Patreon for more Baseball Is Dead Content! https://www.patreon.com/cw/BaseballisDead Learn more about your ad choices.
