Episode 427: Seattle Storms Back

Episode 427: Welcome to a midweek edition of Baseball Is Dead. Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler react to the Seattle Mariners’ eight-game winning streak that has vaulted them into first place in the AL West. Julio Rodríguez’s recent power surge has the guys debating what type of hitter they’d rather build around: a pure power bat like Julio or a more balanced offensive profile like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Fernando Tatis Jr., who have traded some power for more contact this season. Gage Jump’s second big-league start continues to impress and has Dallas dreaming about the wave of young arms that could be joining the Athletics in the near future. Kyle Harrison’s dominance against his former club leaves Jared and Tyler wondering what changes have fueled his recent success. To close out the show, the crew brings back Show’em Some Love, highlighting players who stood out with impressive performances over the past week. 00:00:00 - Ace Joins The Show  00:01:27 - What Gets T Going in The Gym?  00:04:40 - Julio Rodriguez and 1st Place Mariners    00:20:26 - Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | To Power or Not To Power   00:23:21 - Gage Jump and the Athletics Emerging Pitching Staff  00:33:13 - Another Kyle Harrison Masterclass vs Former Team 00:46:38 - Cam Schlittler Hits a Speed Bump  01:01:56 - Show’em Some Love 01:15:51 - Injury Roundup: Aaron Judge & Garrett Crochet  01:18:09 - Award-Winning Nugs   01:21:51 - Final Thoughts  Support the Fight Against ALS: http://Cubs.com/alsauction NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 Get $20 on Kalshi - http://kalshi.com/r/SECTION10 For simple, online access to personalized and affordable care for Hair Loss, ED, Weight Loss, and more, visit Hims.com/BID Upgrade your wallet today!
