Episode 445: Walk-Off Walker
7/15/20261 hr 22 min
Episode 445: All-Star Festivities lit up Philadelphia and gave us potentially one of the best Home Run Derbies of all time. The new rules and format changes are put under the microscope as Jared, Tyler, Jay Hay, and Dallas share their love for the updates and the improvements to Netflix’s presentation.
The American League’s 4-0 victory over the National League turned out to be a surprising snoozer of an All-Star Game. Cody Bellinger took home MVP honors, but not before Dallas made his case for the only player who reached base twice in the game: Shea Langeliers.
The guys also break down a story that dropped in The Athletic involving a frequent listener of the show, along with their first-half MVP and Cy Young winners. Tap in for Jay Hay’s Hot Fresh Award-Winning nugs, and tune in Friday for BID Feud and a full look around every division in baseball at the conclusion of the first half of the season.

Are all batteries the same? [crowd cheering] That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that? No, just him. Now, take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, GOATs only trust GOATs, because they're built different. And Messi only trusts Duracell.

I mean, this is a sport that's on the precipice of irrelevance.
Tyler Milliken· Panelist0:34
The games are taking over three and a half hours. Playoff games are taking over four hours.
Justin Havens· Host0:38
Game's too long, too slow. Who cares? This is a situation where baseball's in trouble to begin with.

It is, uh, it's Tuesday night, All-Star night. I am in my hotel in Philadelphia, which is just, it's just what I do, baby. I, I don't be going to shit, you know? Like, I, uh, I fly out so I can chill in the hotel. I, I s- I woke up at noon today. It was the first time in over a year that I got to just sleep in. Like, no one else's alarm was waking me up, a dog wasn't waking me up. Uh, an event that I had to be there for wasn't waking me up. I fucking got out of bed at noon, and I was like, "This is, this is the good life." And every
