Episode 440: The Feud is back! Baseball Is Dead's Feud returns for another 2 vs. 2 battle, with a special guest joining the program to see if they can keep the guest's undefeated streak alive. Before the feud, the guys discuss the struggles of superstar Paul Skenes. Jay Hay and Dallas dive deep into the numbers on Skenes' pitches and break down the miraculous performance of Dansby Swanson. Swanson's rise from potential worst player in baseball to the best offensive player in recent weeks has baffled the guys and couldn't have come at a better time for the Chicago Cubs. The show wraps up with a fantastic interview with Guardians pitcher Joey Cantillo, who talks about his Hawaiian roots, the at-bats that have stuck with him, and the mindset of being part of a large prospect-haul trade. 00:00:00 - Shoutout Johnny 00:03:34 - What Is Going On With Paul Skenes? 00:17:23 - Dansby Swanson Resurgence 00:25:31 - Junior’s Home Run Streak Continues 00:35:37 - Family Feud 01:03:04 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:05:57 - Joey Cantillo Joins BID! 01:30:50 - Final Thoughts NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 get $20 on Kalshi - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/BID Sign Up For Our…
