Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Episode 435:  MLB Draft season is fast approaching! Our tribal chief, Jared, is away at the MLB Draft Combine, which allows Dallas, Tyler, and Jay Hay to get weird at the start of the week!

Rafael Devers finds himself in the news once again for the wrong reasons. This time, it features him attempting to wave off a pinch runner and send him back to the dugout in the 9th inning. The guys react to the potential fallout of another public incident for Devers and the Giants organization.

Bryce Harper hit for his own “Br-cycle” this week and added another milestone to his potential Hall of Fame career. The conversation on Harper leads the guys to discuss which active player most needs a World Series ring to cement their legacy. 

And lastly, Byron Buxton has said he does not want to be traded from the Minnesota Twins. The crew reacts to the request and the lose-lose situation small-market superstars find themselves in during the social media era.

Episode 434: The dawn of a new era has arrived.

Baseball Is Dead Family Feud has leveled up with the addition of a rotating fourth player. Each Thursday, a new guest will join the mix to complete a 2-vs-2 round. Teammates will be bonded for life… and hearts will be broken forever.

Before the feud begins, the guys break down the major change Major League Baseball made to the Home Run Derby rules — the clock is gone, replaced by a set number of swings. The crew shares their thoughts on the new format, along with the official start of award season in Casa de Carrabis.

Shohei Ohtani’s “struggles” on the mound have the guys intrigued as he continues his historic chase for both the MVP and Cy Young in what’s shaping up to be one of the greatest National League Cy Young races in history.

Finally, Bruce Meyer joins Baseball Is Dead to break down the latest in MLB labor negotiations. Will there be a strike? Will games be missed? And is a salary cap actually coming to baseball?

Episode 433: All-Star season is officially here! The first round of voting has been released, and Dallas has officially begun his campaign for Nick Kurtz to make the All-Star Game. The conversation then shifts to a debate over who the best catcher in baseball is following Drake Baldwin’s return to the Atlanta Braves.

According to recent reporting, the San Francisco Giants are open for business. A disastrous season has forced Buster Posey to try to move the big contracts of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman. The guys break down exactly what it would take to trade those massive deals and who among the three high-dollar players is the real prize.

The Giants remain in the news for all the wrong reasons. Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker all wrote Bible verses on their hats during Pride Night at the stadium, turning a night meant for inclusion into a debate about something much bigger. Lastly, the guys show some love for players who are succeeding around the league on the eve of a landmark edition of Baseball is Dead.

Episode 432: Baseball never rests, and neither do we. Baseball is Dead is back with a full recap of all the weekend series!

Tarik Skubal made his long-awaited return to an MLB mound. The guys break down his first start back and discuss what the future holds for the lefty.

Jacob Misiorowski delivered a masterpiece that left the entire league in awe. He threw a 9-inning, 15-strikeout shutout with a perfect 100 Game Score, putting himself firmly in the driver’s seat for the National League Cy Young. Jay Hay puts the historic start in proper perspective and gives it the praise it deserves.

Jared and Tyler ask Dallas about his final days in Las Vegas with the A’s, plus the record-breaking day the Colorado Rockies had in Sin City. Dallas reacts live to the first round of All-Star Game voting results — and he is not happy with what he sees.

Lastly, the guys host another potential 1-1 pick in this year’s MLB Draft. UCLA star Roch Cholowsky joins the show to talk about the draft season!
