Episode 436: Beleaguered Buster
6/24/20261 hr 19 min
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!

Our man JC, as you know, is out at the Major League Baseball combine. And, uh, I think something that needs to be addressed off the top is, uh, oh, we're all happy he's okay, right? For the most part, regardless of what you said about him, Milky. Um, w- we're all, we're all happy with the fact that Jared did survive the, what some are calling really just a glancing blow. I mean, it might have been over-hyped. "Oh, wow, he took a baseball off the head." Did he? I mean, did he? Kind of a glancing blow during Home Run Derby. He did survive. Uh, something I said,
