From Detroit's bats waking up to the A's and Rockies stealing headlines, Jake and I walk through a jam-packed slate and preview a loaded day of pitching. Show Notes (concise, from your POV): On this June 3 episode of BD Baseball, I sit down with Jake and run through a full 15-game slate: Tigers crush, Flaherty shoves, and Greene/Perez provide the power we've been missing. Gage Jump delivers seven strong in Wrigley as the A's win a tight one behind an opposite-field bomb from Nick Kurtz. Rockies step out of the basement, the Angels fall further, and Joe Adell recreates Jose Canseco with a ball off his glove and head. We talk Johan Duran's filth, John Smoltz's “no pitchers, only throwers” comments, and where we agree or disagree. Around the league: Orioles in Boston, Pirates staying relevant, Braves still a wagon, and the Giants plus Red Sox continuing to make their fans miserable. We preview a stacked pitching slate with Peralta–Kirby, Sanchez–Buehler, Burns–Royals, Cole–Gavin Williams, and Skenes–Astros, plus some first-five and total leans. Injury and transaction notes on Verlander, Jackson Jobe, Mason Barnett, Cade Morris, Civale, and Severino. New episodes of BD Baseball drop all week on Burnin' Daylight Sports.
