    Episode 460: Houston's Puppet Masters

    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. 00:00:00 - Who Greets Dallas at the Gates of Fire 00:04:26 - Concerts & Scooters 00:12:01 - The Drive-Thru Coming Soon? 00:15:38 - Weekend Series Recaps | Phillies vs. Cardinals 00:20:59 - Dodgers vs. Pirates 00:24:04 - Red Sox vs. Giants 00:26:43 - Yankees vs. Blue Jays 00:27:39 - Brewers vs. Braves 00:29:09 - Rangers vs. Angels 00:30:47 - Padres vs. Twins 00:32:44 - Cubs vs. Mariners 00:34:40 - Royals vs. Tigers 00:38:46 - Rays vs. Orioles 00:41:18 - Marlins vs. Nationals 00:42:37 - Guardians vs. Rockies 00:44:28 - Diamondbacks vs. Reds 00:47:59 - Astros vs. A’s 00:55:47 - Astros Starting to Clean House 01:06:39 - Managers on the Chopping Block According to Kalshi Users 01:12:02 - Giancarlo Stanton Out for the Season 01:22:28 - Shohei Ohtani Returning to Pitch Soon 01:25:48 - All-Time Draft Poll Happening Right Now | JTN Tuesday! 01:32:52 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:37:14 - Final Thoughts | Book Club This Week!

    Episode 459: Vlady's Power Outage

    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. 00:00:00 – Jared Gets a Hit 00:42:22 – The Jingles Draft Out Now! 00:46:43 – The Dodgers, Fraud, and What Does It All Mean? 01:05:56 – Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Still Homerless at Home 01:21:34 – An Apology to Mr. Bieber 01:23:23 – NL Rookie of the Year According to Kalshi Users & Naming the ROY Awards 01:29:42 – Blowin’ This Guy’s Horn 01:40:54 – Final Thoughts Buy A Ticket For Section 10 Night!

    Episode 458: PCA 4 MVP

    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!

Let us know what you think in the comments about the scandals and what you’ve seen in your experience with Little League Baseball.

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

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. 00:00:00 - Martha’s Christmas Gift (Don’t Listen to This, Martha) 00:02:04 - Dallas Braden’s Birthday 00:14:05 - Nickname Draft Voting Available Now 00:19:30 - Edwin Díaz Struggles | Are We Worried About the Dodgers Bullpen? 00:37:37 - Jared vs. a Cy Young Award Winner Coming Soon 00:45:49 - Phillies vs. Twins Amongst the Corn 00:52:15 - Blowin’ This Guy’s Horn 01:00:10 - Dallas’s Final Thoughts 01:01:59 - Who Is the Third NL MVP Finalist According to Kalshi Users 01:07:07 - Payton Tolle’s Rise 01:14:35 - A Weekend Pitching Preview 01:20:16 - Award-Winning Nugs 01:28:04 - Final Thoughts | Jacob deGrom, All-Star Locations & RIP Jeremy Conley NEW BID MERCH IS HERE: https://www.baseballisdead.com Trade $20 Get $20 - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/BID Sign Up For Our Patreon for more Baseball Is Dead Content! https://www.patreon.com/cw/BaseballisDead Upgrade your wallet today!

    Episode 454: Pour Over Pence

    Episode 454: Baseball will humble you more than any other game. A humbling happened in Boston as the A’s took two out of three against the hottest team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox. Dallas comes out hot talking about the series victory, as well as Jeff McNeil’s 1,000th hit and Jacob Wilson’s errorless streak. Dallas also chats a bit about catching up with his former teammates in Boston before the guys get into their weekend series recaps from across the league. Two-time World Series Champion and San Francisco Giants legend Hunter Pence joins the program in the midst of the recaps, and the guys roll right into talking with him about the Giants’ season, how general manager Buster Posey is handling the switch from player to the front office, and Pence’s transition from Texas boy to California cool. The guys discuss all the drama from this past weekend that occurred on the mound, including Zack Wheeler being off the mound and Chris Sale’s balk. Jared brings up the NL Cy Young Award and the runaway odds of Jacob Misiorowski winning it.
