Summary

Episode 4 of Baseball Is Dead starts off hot as Jared comes in fired up about his deep hatred for immaculate innings. The topic then shifts to why Max Scherzer doesn't get mentioned in the same category as Clayton Kershaw and whether he deserves more recognition. The guys then have a lengthy discussion around the bizarre move in the Angels/Rangers game over the weekend where Joe Maddon decided to walk Corey Seager with the bases loaded and break down Joe's reasoning for the move. Fernando Tatís Jr. was also a topic of discussion as a video went viral of him playing soccer on the field and tripping over the ball in what looked like a potentially dangerous fall. Jared brings up Roki Sasaki being pulled after eight perfect innings and 14K's after his previous start where he pitched a perfect game with 19K's. Jared also revisits the essay he wrote about Dallas's hometown Stockton, CA. We end the show with discussion about where we are at with juiced/deadened baseballs, the current face of MLB, Astros players still getting boo'd, and the A's having the most runs scored in the majors.
