Episode 462: Sale's Renaissance

28 Aug 2026 · 1 h 29 min · Explicit

Episode 462: A loaded weekend of baseball is on the horizon. Jay Hay and Tyler are here to guide you through the chaos.

Chris Sale is having a full-blown career renaissance in Atlanta, capped by a complete-game shutout of the two-time defending World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Tyler and Jay Hay give Sale all the love a first-ballot Hall of Famer deserves.

The guys also touch on the stories heading into the weekend, including the Reds waiving players in a bid to pinch pennies, Walker Jenkins getting called up to the Show, and Tarik Skubal facing his old team a month after the trade deadline.
