Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

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.

Episode 459: The biggest story of Thursday night across the baseball world didn’t come from Major League Baseball—it came from a charity game in Massachusetts.

Jared notched another hit in the Oldtime Baseball Game, and the video has caught fire. Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler react to the clip, his unique running style, and even commend his bravery. The conversation then shifts to a potentially sport-shattering development out of Los Angeles.

Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter finds himself in the crosshairs of serious financial investigations. His reported urgency to raise capital quickly has raised more questions than answers. The guys offer a surface-level breakdown before diving deeper into the possible ramifications for the upcoming CBA.

Building off the Dodgers’ high-dollar issues, Dallas notes that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on the verge of posting one of the most jarring, jaw-dropping stats in baseball. The crew examines his power outage—both in Toronto and overall—and what it could mean for his $500 million mega-contract.

The show closes with the weekly classic “Blowin’ This Guy’s Horn” and final thoughts heading into a dynamite weekend of baseball.

Episode 458: Stories are brewing all across the major leagues.

The Ketel Marte no-show situation is drawing eyes from across the league. Jared, Jay Hay, Dallas, and Tyler chat about the awkward situation for the Diamondbacks, give their thoughts on the “knee injury,” and project what this could mean for Marte going forward.

They also dive deep into Pete Crow-Armstrong’s absolute heater that he has found himself on and the “stranglehold” he has on the MVP race versus Shohei Ohtani. The Mariners’ embarrassing 22-0 loss left Dallas, Tyler, and Jay Hay questioning how the Mariners fell so far off from last year’s success and who will be on the chopping block as a result of this disappointing season.

Don’t forget to stick around for BID Feud with special guest Eric Hubbs! The Barstool Yankees blogger joins the program to reunite with his old friend Jared as they face off in what was one of the most dramatic and closely contested Feud matches we’ve had all year.

Episode 457: Monday is here, and with it come the weekend series recaps from Jared, Dallas, Jay Hay, and Tyler.

The show kicks off with talk of the BID Instagram garnering a variety of reactions from several former major league pitchers. Don’t forget to subscribe to the BID Patreon for our draft episodes! The Jingles Draft is coming up this Thursday!

Jared kicks off the weekend series recaps with what is considered one of the best rivalries in baseball, but the Rocket thinks otherwise. Dallas hopes to never see Jake Burger in Sacramento again before waxing poetic on the scandals across Little League Baseball.

Sign stealing, ineligible players, and the purity of baseball being sapped out of Little League Baseball. Let us know what you think in the comments about the scandals and what you’ve seen in your experience with Little League Baseball.

Jay Hay and Dallas put a bow on the show by talking about the recently deceased Tommy John — a legend in the baseball community for his off-field feats just as much as his on-field feats. Get some award-winning nugs on the way out and tap in for Wednesday’s edition of Baseball Is Dead!

Episode 456: Birthdays aplenty this week for the BID community.

Dallas celebrated his birthday yesterday, and the guys talk about his day as well as the early voting results from the Patreon-exclusive Baseball Nickname Draft. Jared, Tyler, Jay Hay, and Dallas all talk about the struggles that former All-Star closer Edwin Díaz finds himself in during his first year with the Dodgers. But will the Dodgers’ bullpen struggles be a factor in October?

The crew discusses that and the stale feeling that the Field of Dreams game is leaving after its return. Before Dallas departs, they blow some horns for players around the league and talk about the rise of the first homegrown ace the Boston Red Sox have had in a long time.

Jay Hay sends us into the weekend with a look at the series about to be played and gives us those hot, fresh, award-winning nugs.
