Episode 455: Fire in the midweek episode of Baseball Is Dead! Jared overcomes the flames engulfing his home to talk about the upcoming Baseball Nicknames draft for BID Patreon subscribers, Blake Snell’s return, the Dodgers getting healthy for October, and all the questions surrounding Paul Skenes’ drop in performance.

Boog also shares his thoughts on Pete Crow-Armstrong’s rise to potentially the best player in baseball.
