Baseball is Dead (MLB Podcast)

Episode 471: Dallas is taking in the sights of Cleveland as the regular season can't come to an end fast enough. The BID Patreon Drafts have become can't-miss content as the latest draft topic was on deadliest animals.

The fellas dive into the remaining playoff races left, including the White Sox & Guardians. Dallas got a front row seat of the Tampa Bay Rays as they're looking like the clear-cut winners of the American League this year.

We've got a new Blow This Guy's Horn segment as well as a deep dive into Elly De La Cruz's contract situation.

Episode 470: Your wait is over!

Listen to the top of the podcast to get an idea of what our podcast and stream schedule will look like in October. There won’t be a shortage of content — we can guarantee you that.

Friend of the program Tommy Pham allegedly talked his way into the lineup on one of the most important days of the season for the White Sox. Listen to the guys react to the story live, and stay through the end as they react to Pham’s home run.

They dig into Pete Alonso’s curtain call in his return to Queens, where the slugger hit his 300th career home run. They also react to the Brewers clinching the NL Central, and JayHay lays the smack down on anyone who thinks Junior Caminero is the AL MVP.

A star joins us for Feud to wrap things up: Karl Ravech, one of the voices of baseball, enters the gauntlet to see if he and his partner can come out on top.

Episode 469: There’s a pep in Dallas’ step today, courtesy of The Law Dog, Lawrence Butler’s walk-off bomb that gave the A’s their third consecutive series victory.

Jared starts the conversation on the forever war the New York Yankees and New York Mets will find themselves in over Juan Soto. Internet discourse surrounding Soto during their series engulfed Baseball Twitter and potentially started another fire in a New York dugout.

Aaron Judge’s comments on his “ace” Cam Schlittler’s MVP case get JayHay and the group thinking about who is in the lead for AL MVP. Has Yordan Alvarez locked up the award, or must he vault back into Triple Crown status to capture it?

Stay tapped in for conversations about Fernando Tatis Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr. breaking his streak, and what one last Justin Verlander start could look like.

Episode 468: On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the guys start off by remembering those affected by the terrorist attack and the healing role baseball played in getting the country back on its feet.

Before Dallas departs, he begins the horn blowin’ that JayHay, Jared, and Tyler continue throughout the episode. Whenever Jeff Passan dips his quill, it is a must-read. Today was no different, as he pens some early thoughts on free agency that everyone reacts to, including the astronomical numbers ace Tarik Skubal may be in line to receive.

The gang continues their conversation on free agency by trying to determine who the second-best free agent in the class is and tackling one of the most difficult questions of the offseason: should Bo Bichette opt out?

Episode 467: The First Days of Fall Are Here.

A cool crispness is in the air, which means fall is fast approaching. Jared and Tyler open the show talking about Section 10 Night, and Dallas interrogates the duo about their poor first pitches. The conversation turns to a potpourri of baseball topics, including the Cubs’ poor pitching, Elly De La Cruz’s missile of a throw, and a check-in on Tarik Skubal’s Dodgers numbers.

Aaron Judge made his return to the lineup and was not pleased with Aaron Boone’s decision to pull him. Meanwhile, the Athletics franchise is hit with another one-two combo of bad news for their future.

Stay tuned for All-Star closer Josh Hader joining the program to chat about his season, and for JayHay and Dallas to hear the story about Tyler and Bullet.

Episode 466: Welcome to another week of Major League Baseball. The guys get off to a hot start with Jared talking about Labor Day (shoutout to all the women), quarter-zone shots, and Julio César Chávez.

They then recap the weekend series and talk through every team across the league. In those discussions they cover the disaster-class umpire Doug Eddings put on in Colorado, including his abuse of power and the subsequent lying meant to cover it up.

More Los Angeles Dodgers off-field news continues to trickle out, and JayHay asks the guys where their rage meter currently sits. The crew wraps with Corbin Burnes making his return to the mound this week and a hot, fresh batch of award-winning nugs.

Episode 465: Head into the weekend with the best segment in all of podcasting: Baseball Is Dead Feud.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Pablo Torre is beginning a new investigation into the Los Angeles Dodgers and their owner, Mark Walter, who has found himself in the midst of a federal financial investigation.

Dallas, Jared, Tyler, and JayHay talk about Torre’s first batch of findings on the Dodgers and discuss the possibility of Shohei Ohtani exercising the opt-out clause in his contract if Mark Walter does indeed sell the Dodgers.

An old friend joins BID for his first taste of Feud action. Co-host of the Section 10 Podcast Steve Perrault takes center stage, and the guys go nuts for a new way of selecting teams.

Episode 463: We are officially in the final stretch of the regular season. Only 26 games left for some squads (but who’s counting), and the postseason will be here before we know it.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the BID YouTube for postseason baseball streams all October. In today’s episode, the guys recap every series from this weekend, including the magic Max Scherzer conjured in a throwback start that is setting up a dynamite strikeout race with Justin Verlander.

A few pieces of breaking news drop during the show before the crew gives their NL MVP to Pete Crow-Armstrong. His month of August has separated him from Shohei Ohtani in the conversation and put PCA in a race many did not think was possible heading into the season.

Lastly, before the award-winning nugs: Ketel Marte is officially returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Jared asks Dallas what the locker room dynamics are like after a player seemingly abandons the team, and what the Diamondbacks could do with Marte this offseason.
