Baseball is Dead

Episode 459: Vlady's Power Outage 2026-08-21 20:59:00

Episode 459: The biggest story of Thursday night across the baseball world didn’t come from Major League Baseball—it came from a charity game in Massachusetts.

Jared notched another hit in the Oldtime Baseball Game, and the video has caught fire. Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler react to the clip, his unique running style, and even commend his bravery. The conversation then shifts to a potentially sport-shattering development out of Los Angeles.

Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter finds himself in the crosshairs of serious financial investigations. His reported urgency to raise capital quickly has raised more questions than answers. The guys offer a surface-level breakdown before diving deeper into the possible ramifications for the upcoming CBA.

Building off the Dodgers’ high-dollar issues, Dallas notes that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on the verge of posting one of the most jarring, jaw-dropping stats in baseball. The crew examines his power outage—both in Toronto and overall—and what it could mean for his $500 million mega-contract.

The show closes with the weekly classic “Blowin’ This Guy’s Horn” and final thoughts heading into a dynamite weekend of baseball.
