Episode 460: Houston's Puppet Masters

Episode 460: Welcome back from a weekend of baseball! Jared, Tyler, Dallas, and Jay Hay talk about every single weekend series that happened, catching you up on the latest you need to know around the league. After talking about Dallas’s commute to work and concerts, the guys get into the mess the Houston Astros are becoming. Owner Jim Crane has fired GM Dana Brown, and Manager Joe Espada is not expected to return next season. Are these sweeping changes actually going to be substantive, or are they just hiding who the true puppet masters are in H-Town? We turn from manager firings to the news that former All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton is done for the season, with more injuries plaguing the aging superstar. The crew speculates whether this is indeed the end of Stanton’s MLB career, as well as talking about Shohei Ohtani returning to the mound soon. 00:00:00 - Who Greets Dallas at the Gates of Fire 00:04:26 - Concerts & Scooters 00:12:01 - The Drive-Thru Coming Soon? 00:15:38 - Weekend Series Recaps | Phillies vs. Cardinals 00:20:59 - Dodgers vs. Pirates 00:24:04 - Red Sox vs. Giants 00:26:43 - Yankees vs. Blue Jays 00:27:39 - Brewers vs. Braves 00:29:09 - Rangers vs. Angels 00:30:47 - Padres vs. Twins 00:32:44 - Cubs vs. Mariners 00:34:40 - Royals vs. Tigers 00:38:46 - Rays vs. Orioles 00:41:18 - Marlins vs. Nationals 00:42:37 - Guardians vs. Rockies 00:44:28 - Diamondbacks vs. Reds 00:47:59 - Astros vs. A’s 00:55:47 - Astros Starting to Clean House 01:06:39 - Managers on the Chopping Block According to Kalshi Users 01:12:02 - Giancarlo Stanton Out for the Season 01:22:28 - Shohei Ohtani Returning to Pitch Soon 01:25:48 - All-Time Draft Poll Happening Right Now | JTN Tuesday! 01:32:52 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:37:14 - Final Thoughts | Book Club This Week!
