Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Episode 449: The second half of the baseball season kicks off with a bang. Marquee matchups littered the weekend slate, including Yankees vs. Phillies, Dodgers vs. Mets, and Braves vs. Orioles. The guys talk about them all in their rapid weekend series recaps.

Shohei Ohtani’s gambling scandal is the story that will not die. ESPN is releasing a brand-new 30 for 30 podcast on the Ohtani gambling scandal. The guys react to what could be a sport-altering story and imagine what the baseball world would look like if the worst-case scenario were true for the greatest baseball player of the modern era.

All-Star Otto Lopez joins the show in an interview that Jared says will leave you loving the Marlins shortstop. He ranks his top Dominican players of all time, talks about trade rumors surrounding his name, and discusses the passion he plays with on the field.

Lastly, the guys talk about the Hall of Fame ceremony and how poorly MLB schedules the day for the newest inductees.

Episode 447: The Trade Deadline is quickly approaching, and it’s time for teams to start making decisions on who is staying and who is going.

Jared, Tyler, and Jay Hay break down the major pieces rumored to be on the move this trade deadline, including Tarik Skubal, Mason Miller, Jeremy Peña, and more. The guys discuss who should buy, who should sell, and what a realistic trade package for a player like Tarik Skubal would look like.

The Blue Jays’ puzzling season has the crew wondering whether the team that was one out away from the World Series last year should start moving pieces for the future. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox are on the verge of tying and breaking their franchise record for wins in a row. Jared and Tyler reflect on the ride and share their feelings heading into a doubleheader.

Jared learns about the grittiest player in baseball, and Max Fried’s return to the Bronx mound leads the guys to discuss how the Yankees can shore up their roster for another postseason run.

Tune in again on Friday for a loaded BID including Family Feud, Blowing This Guy’s Horn, and more!

Episode 446: The second half of the MLB season is officially underway. Winning streaks aplenty are coming out of theAll-Star break, highlighted by the Red Sox pushing their streak to 13 games in a row while seemingly making a push for Athletics star catcher Shea Langeliers.

The guys recap every series since the break — from Pirates-Guardians toNationals-A’s and Dodgers-Yankees. They chat about every team and dive deep into the American League East. The injury to Yankees captain Aaron Judge has gripped the Yankees’ offense. Dallas asks whether it’s possible we don’t see Judge return this season and what that could mean for the Bronx Bombers.

Jared discusses the disappointing season the defending American League champions, the Toronto Blue Jays, are having, as well as a pair of young pitchers who recently signed long-term extensions with their clubs.
