Episode 461: Baseball is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. More news continues to trickle out about the efforts Dodgers owner Mark Walter is making to seemingly avoid selling his franchise. Jeff Passan’s explanation of the situation out west gives the guys a better understanding of what’s going on, and they react to what could come in the CBA negotiations this winter. Paul Skenes climbed back on the mound and looked like his old self for the first time in what feels like ages. His shutout performance against the Padres gets dissected by the lads, as does Mason Miller’s first home run allowed in over a year. Sit back and enjoy the fountain of knowledge that is this week’s BID Feud guest, Tim Kurkjian. Tim joins the guys for another exciting edition of the feud with some of the most difficult questions ever given to the panel. 00:00:00 - Jeff Passan Explains the Dodgers Scandal | The Fallout for the Future CBA 00:33:30 - Mason Miller Gives Up His First HR in Over a Year 00:37:43 - We Saw the Old Paul Skenes Again 00:54:08 - Family Feud with Tim Kurkjian 01:29:24 - Fast Food Draft Coming Soon on the BID Patreon 01:34:49 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:40:52 - Final Thoughts Buy A Ticket For Section 10 Night!
