Episode 446: Judge-Sized Hole

Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Show Notes

Episode 446: The second half of the MLB season is officially underway. Winning streaks aplenty are coming out of theAll-Star break, highlighted by the Red Sox pushing their streak to 13 games in a row while seemingly making a push for Athletics star catcher Shea Langeliers.

The guys recap every series since the break — from Pirates-Guardians toNationals-A’s and Dodgers-Yankees. They chat about every team and dive deep into the American League East. The injury to Yankees captain Aaron Judge has gripped the Yankees’ offense. Dallas asks whether it’s possible we don’t see Judge return this season and what that could mean for the Bronx Bombers.

Jared discusses the disappointing season the defending American League champions, the Toronto Blue Jays, are having, as well as a pair of young pitchers who recently signed long-term extensions with their clubs.
