Baseball Is Dead Episode 48: Judge Hits 60
02:26:20 Share

Today’s show starts with Joey immediately revealing his involvement in the mascot cocaine ring. Jared woke up yesterday morning and began slandering Babe Ruth almost immediately. Aaron Judge’s recording-breaking season continues as he’s having the best September EVER and currently leads the Triple Crown race heading into today. Apple TV has the game on Friday so Yankees fans are worried that Judge’s record-breaking homer won’t be called by Michael Kay which leads us down a John Sterling rabbit hole. The White Sox may be officially the most disappointing team of the season and we’re talking about Tony La Russa’s phantom stint on the IL. Randy Arozarena and Yandy Díaz apparently have a personal issue and the Rays got swept by the Astros. Zack Hample continues to be under fire as a damning video was released of John the security guard saying he stole a ball from a kid. Joey might be the last one in Hample’s corner. Kyle Schwarber hit his 40th home run and has the 9th best WAR on his own team. Philly fans could be nervous about their baseball team and we talk about if they’ll miss the playoffs. Jared and Joey recount the greatest inning of all time and talk about how with the new wild cart format some teams may be robbed of a home playoff game.
