Baseball Is Dead Episode 82: Sandy Shoves, Scherzer Slammed

We’re back with our mid-week update! After calling people out for overreacting about Hunter Renfroe’s catch, Jayhay has already been getting submissions for better catches from just this week. Sandy Alcántara threw a 100-pitch shutout against the Twins yesterday and we’re trying to figure out why no one from our panel picked him to win the NL Cy Young. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Scherzer has struggled to start the year and gave up back to back to back home runs against the Brewers yesterday. The Red Sox starting pitching has been getting ROCKED and Dallas’s Pirates have taken the first two games of the series. We’re also looking the teams that have surprised us the most so far this season, whether that be over or underperforming to start the year. See you tomorrow!
