Episode 430: Las Vegas Launching Pad

Episode 430: Interviews have returned to Baseball Is Dead! Potential first overall draft pick Vahn Lackey joins the show to discuss his upcoming draft day, the MLB Draft Combine, and his desire to stick behind the plate as a catcher in the big leagues.

Braden Montgomery’s debut walk-off home run sent shockwaves through baseball Tuesday night. With an influx of talent making its way to the South Side, Southside Jerry reacts to another White Sox win. Meanwhile, the offensive explosion in Las Vegas continues. After another high-scoring week for the A’s, Jared, Tyler, and Jay Hay debate whether it’s possible to build a contender in Coors Field-like conditions for 81 games a year.

As always, the guys Show Some Love to players around the league who deserve more attention, and Jay Hay sends us into another night of baseball with his award-winning Nugs.
